During the trip, you can get little glimpses into the everyday life of the population. As all the boats take off almost simultaneously, the first ship convoy resembles a single file. In the course of the journey the ships spread on the river.

Before the departure, the cooks open the on-board kitchens to prepare the meals. The supply with fresh vegetables is carried out during the journey.

It is a wonderful, varied landscape with spectacular rock formations, interesting caves,springs and waterfalls. For the Chinese people the 52 miles between Guilin and Yangshuo resemble a jade ribbon wraping around thousands of hills.

Every mountain is covered with a picture, like the Bat Hill (Bat Mountain) or the Wangfu rock that resembles a mother and child. We pass the Crown Cave (Cave of the crown) and immerse into the Langshi landscape.
