Guilin Trip Overview
The classic shot of Li River is the one called “fishing lights on the Li River”, together with sunrise or sunset. In the past, local fishermen paddled their bamboo raft and went fishing on the Li River as night falls. A magical scene appears when the river is dotted with fishing lights. It’s a scene that shows an intimate relationship between human and nature.
Highlights:
1. Enjoy the Sunset of the 20RMB note area.
2. take the photos with fishermen on bamboo rafts or even with the fishing birds.
Note: If you want to book this tour ONE day before, you’d better check with us if has a Fisherman available or not, due to sometimes the fishing man is fully booked, thank you.
