This is a lovely way to see the karst mountain landscape and enjoy the scenery. Incredibly peaceful and relaxing, especially on quieter parts.

Loved the adventure of the raft--did not like the stopping for pictures every 15 minutes and the hard sell that place.

This was a pleasant, relaxing way to see the beautiful countryside and a nice break from cycling in the heat!

I done the bamboo rafting along the Yulong River 2 days ago and it was very beautiful. There is also bamboo rafting along the Li river but this is not real bamboo, but just plastic.

I got up early, as usual, on my first day back in Yangshuo. I was here in 1998. Big change!! I grabbed my camera and headed across the street to the river at sunrise.
