More of a scenic area, with not much of a national park feel, the Li River National Park has no entrance or fee to enter. It covers the 80-km (50-mile) stretch of river between Guilin and Yangshuo, bounded by classic sheer karst hills, which have inspired many a poem and ink painting. Yellow Cloth Shoal is one of the highlights of the Li River, and it is the landscape on the 20-yuan banknote.

Or you can also challenge yourself to an SUP (stand-up paddleboard, i.e. a mini raft) on the Yulong River (a nearby tributary of the Li), take a bamboo raft, have a cycling tour into the countryside, or take an exciting drive with an all-terrain vehicle. If you are hiking lovers, Li River hiking is a must try!
