This Li River Cruise is a “must” see! Leaving the dock, about 15 boats (doubledeck) meandering slowly in the shallow channels and seeing the wonders of nature transform before you eyes is “magnifico!” Along this narrow passageway you can see mountains with different names and characters that tell a simple story. You need at least a guide or a brochure that explains these scenery. Lunch is cooked aboard the boat and it is a buffet that is tasty and good for what you pay
