Beauty of Guilin landscape tops the China, and beauty of Lijiang River definitely tops Guilin. As the elite of the Guilin landscape, the Lijiang River is a bright pearl among China’s beautiful mountains and rivers. Originated in Mao’er Mountain at Xing’an County, northeast of Guilin City, the Lijiang River winds its way southeast for about 437 kilometers via Guilin City, Yangshuo City to Gongcheng Estuary of Pingle County in Guangxi Province. The 84-kilometer-long segment from Guilin City to Yangshuo City resembles a green silk belt, winding among the peaks and the chains of mountains. The miraculous peaks, green mountains and blue waters mutually embellish, just as a 100-kilometer-long scroll. For several thousands of years, a great number of bookmen and scholars have been intoxicated with it. A segment of the mountains and waters of the Lijiang River are printed on the back of the new version paper currency RMB 20.   
   
    The voyage of the Lijiang River from the Guilin City to the Yangshuo City is about 83 kilometers, and drifting down the white water in a bamboo raft is one of the must-do in Guilin. You will definitely be strongly impressed by the picturesque natural beauty and the excitement of driftage.
