Whether going to Guilin China for a much-needed couple’s getaway or honeymoon, you will find many adventures and romantic experiences waiting.  During the day, you and your loved one could spend time learning about and getting to see ancient towns, reed caves, temples and pagodas, shopping zones, and restaurants.  Then at night, you could switch things up by creating a little romance.

For a romantic evening, you have a multitude of opportunities but taking a Guilin night cruise is sure to impress.  Remember, Guilin is not only home to the beautiful Li River, but many other waterways all connected to include the Taohua River, Ronghu Lake, Shahu Lake, Guihu Lake, and the Mulong Lake.  With this unique layout, a night cruise would take you and your partner around this water system, which is fondly called “Two Rivers and Four Lakes”.

This complete moat river system has been a vital part of Guilin’s history for more than 1,000 years.  Unfortunately, time took its toll on many areas of the water system due to high silt levels in the rivers and lakes, buried cultural relics, and poor water quality.  However, at the start of the 20th century, the waterway was dredged, which helped tremendous so when taking a night cruise, the experience is unrivaled.

By taking a Guilin night cruise, you will have the opportunity to enjoy vast waters but also the surrounding landscape.  The entire area has been transformed into a natural park, featuring several bridges spanning the lakes, a wide array of vegetation, and even charming pavilions resting on the banks.  For the night cruise, you would float along on a yacht through the four lakes while stopping at some of the main tourist attractions to include Fubo Hill, Folded and Brocade Hill, and Elephant Hill.

The gentle movement of the water, illuminated sky, and breathtaking scenery along the journey is the perfect combination for creating romance.  You will find several companies that charter these cruises, some smaller and more intimate than others so we recommend you consider various options and then choose the one that would enhance the overall experience.
