Often dubbed as the “best landscape under heaven”, the Lijiang River Scenic Area in the Guangxi Province is blessed with hills, verdant mountains, trickling streams, villages and forests. Far from the bustling metropolis of China, this hidden gem will let your eyes feast on dense bamboo groves, lush forestry, paddy fields, cascading waterfalls, buffalos bathing and of course the cormorants sitting on the bamboo rafts of the fishermen. As the river flows through the pristine landscape, the native flora and fauna have found a safe abode to thrive. The best way to explore the Lijiang River Scenic Area is on a river cruise which will take you around Nine Horses Mural Cliff, Elephant Trunk Hill and Li Riverflow from Yangdi.
