    The driver and the tour operator Service very good. But the activity itself is not worth the price it pays.

    This is an hour cruise through Guilin’s four lakes. It is pleasant to navigate and enjoy the purposefully lit riverside as well as little performances along the way, special mention to the cormoran fishing. The cons, it can be overcrowded, loud and a bit chaotic, but I would recomend it. I would check first whether your hotel is not too far from the pier and maybe you can walk there or grab a taxi, buy the ticket and save a lot of money along the way.

    Andy met us at the hotel and took us to the boat. The boat trip was relaxing. My parents really enjoyed the night time scenery. This is something easy and relaxing to do if you have time in Guilin.
