The Li River in Guilin, China, is one of the country's most famous scenic areas, celebrated for its karst mountain landscape and serene waters. The river flows for over 160 kilometers, originating from the Mao'er Mountains in Xing'an County and culminating in Pingle County. The most popular segment for tourists stretches between Guilin and Yangshuo, where the river meanders peacefully through lush vegetation, towering limestone peaks, and ancient villages. This picturesque tableau has inspired artists and poets for thousands of years, contributing to the region's status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cruises along the Li River offer breathtaking views of the natural scenery and an opportunity to glimpse traditional rural life along the riverbanks. Cormorant fishing is a unique cultural aspect that visitors may observe, a method where fishermen use trained birds to catch fish. Besides its visual splendor, the Li River also plays an essential role in local agriculture and transportation.
