Arriving in Yangshuo
All standard Li River cruises travel one-way from Guilin to Yangshuo. After about 4 to 4.5 hours on the water, you arrive at one of two piers.
Your 83-kilometer (52-mile) journey concludes at either Longtoushan Pier or Shuidongmen Pier. The cruise operators do not provide return transport, so you must arrange your own travel back to Guilin.
Both arrival docks sit close to the town center. From there, you can easily reach hotels or start exploring the surrounding landscape.
02
Shuidongmen Pier
15 minsClose to town
Some luxury boats use this alternative pier as their final stop. It sits very close to Yangshuo's central areas. This location is highly convenient if you want to walk straight into the old town with your luggage.
03
West Street
1-2 hoursPedestrian street
This historic pedestrian street is located near both arrival piers. It serves as the main hub for food and shopping in Yangshuo. Stop here to grab dinner, a cold drink, or a coffee immediately after you disembark.
