Tool / river day

Build a river day

Four questions, one plan. The planner weighs season, base, group, and time, then recommends the cruise or the raft and tells you what to confirm.

No booking / planning aid only

Suggested plan

Cruise, then stay in the valley

From Yangshuo or Xingping, take a short transfer to the pier and cruise downstream. You will need to arrange the return by road.

  1. 07:30Pickup in Guilin or transfer to the Zhujiang/Mopanshan pier.
  2. 09:00Boat departs. Stay on the top deck through the middle section.
  3. 13:00Arrive Yangshuo. Lunch, then check in or drop bags.
  4. 15:30Easy Yulong River cycle or a walk off West Street.

Check before booking

  • In winter, the river is low and clear; morning mist is possible but not guaranteed.
  • Bring your passport for the ticket check.
  • The cruise does not stop for photos; keep your camera ready on deck.

This is a planning aid, not a booking. River conditions change daily; confirm with your hotel or the operator before you commit.
