Li River guided hike in Yangshuo
We spent five days in Yangshuo and wanted to explore the area. Amy was recommended to me by friends in China as a great hiking guide to tour Yangshuo, the river Li, its surrounding villages and beautiful mountains. She speaks English and is a fun and charming lady from Yangshuo. We had a great day out walking, took great pictures, and managed to avoid the crowds thanks to Amy's local knowledge. Her email is [email protected] and her wechat is linfengamy - I highly recommend a hike with Amy.

Li River- the independent, lower cost way. Practical information.
We are 2 middle aged, independent Western travellers, who cruised the Li River today with a much cheaper option than the organised tours. We were quoted between 480-590 Yuan each. This is how we did it, I hope this review helps someone else. We got a taxi from our hotel to the pier early on this morning. Cost us 100 Yuan on the meter. From the taxi/coach park, walk to the right past the the market stalls (follow the crowds). After the security check, go to the right of the hall to the ticket booth. YOU WILL NEED YOUR PASSPORT. A ticket without lunch costs 270 Yuan (Y305 with lunch). Our boat departed at 10:30am and arrived in Yangshou at 3pm. When arriving in Yangshou, go up the steps and turn left, past all the market stalls and into to town. Pick up a taxi to the bus station when you are ready. If you're going back to Guilin, the last bus leaves Yangshou for Guilin at 8:30pm and takes approx 1.5hours and costs Y27 per person. In total, this cost us approx Y700 for 2 people, 1/2the cost of the tours and it was very easy to do it this way. Do go early to the pier though, we were there around 8:15am and glad we didn't leave it any later.
