Visiting
Summer vacation brings a surge of visitors to Guilin's Lijiang River Scenic Area, drawn by the iconic beauty that has inspired countless ancient verses.
Cruising by boat or bamboo raft from Zhujiang Wharf in Yanshan district and other stops along the river remains the most popular pastime for travelers.
Standing at the bow, drifting downstream, one feels the wind dance through peaks — bringing to life the timeless line, "My skiff has travelled a thousand miles."
