4h 25min train $50USD Li River National Park – Guangxi One of China’s most bucket-listed activities is floating down the Li River on a bamboo raft. The view of the river winding through sharp karst peaks is so iconic that it features on the back of the Chinese ¥20 banknote. The best slow travel option is to combine transport and sightseeing on a river cruise between Yangshuo and Guilin. The journey takes a half-day and along the way passes craggily jade mountains and stone arches with imaginative names like Elephant Trunk Hill and Dragons Playing in the Water. Alternatively, rent a bike in Guilin and cycle along the riverside at your own pace, visiting small fishing villages and rice farms as you go.
