Cruise on Li River and Yangtze River

Is it better to see the Three Gorges of the Yangtze
or the Li River in Guilin China?

 

After have cruised on the Yangtze River, you will never fail to be shocked by its magnificent sceneries. The rhythmical roar of the breakers sounded like a symphony. While another wonderful experience you also shouldn't miss--cruise on the Li River, the experience is just like listening to a lyric Piece.

The same as Yangtze River, the essence reaches of Li River are surrounded by mountains. But unlike the very high mountain ridges by Yangtze River, what you mostly see on Li River cruise are smaller hills and mountains which are in various shapes, which are full of spirit.

Yangtze River, the longest river in China, is 6300 kilometers in length. Typically, that will last not less than 3 days for cruise only a little reach of the it. Along the riverside, there are numerous historical and cultural sites. While Li River is a small river in south China, cruise on Li River will need only several hours. That is mainly a natural scene route.

As the water of Li River is crystal clear, and run mildly. You can take a little bamboo raft along the river, on which you can see the pebbles lie quietly on the river bottom, fish chasing in the water, the buffaloes and ducks are floating on the water with leisure. If you like, you can even plunge into the river to have a swim. While you can't do these in Yangtze River, for the water is turbidity and torrential.
