After planning top sights like the Great Wall, the Bund and the Terracotta Army, the Li River seems to be a very good choice! After all, I love a good nature getaway. 
Great news, Viator offers plenty of options to explore this natural wonder:

🌄 Catch a magical sunrise

First stop: climbing to the top of Xianggong Mountain for a breathtaking sunrise view over the Li River. As the dawn light illuminated the winding river and karst peaks, it felt like stepping into a Chinese painting. The early morning hike was well worth it for this unforgettable moment—truly a photographer’s dream!

🏞️ 1h Cruise along the Li River
Next stop: Lijiang River view area - a one-hour bamboo boat cruise along the Li River, offering a front-row seat to the stunning karst mountains and peaceful countryside. Gliding over the calm waters with anyone else around made the experience feel magical—just me, the boat, and the breathtaking scenery!

🎣 Watch a Cormorant fisherman
The final highlight of the day was watching the cormorant fisherman in action. This traditional fishing method, where trained cormorants dive to catch fish, is a fascinating and age-old practice. It was a unique moment, blending culture, history, and nature along the peaceful Li River.
