The stretch of river between Guilin and Yangshuo passes through a corridor of limestone karst peaks whose shapes and reflections form the subject of one of China's most recognized landscape images. Bamboo groves, farming villages, and water buffalo reinforce the classic pastoral quality of the scenery. Early morning river mist before 8 a.m. creates layered atmospheric depth.
