A delightful full-day excursion begins with a scenic cruise on the Li River. This is the best way to experience the dramatic mountain scenery of the region, where limestone peaks rise precipitously from the water’s edge. Enjoy a buffet lunch on board and then alight in the ancient town of Yangshuo, where the narrow lanes and traditional architecture evoke China of a bygone era. Explore Yangshuo’s colorful bazaar and then visit the Tea Institute at Yaoshan Mountain. Meals B,L
