The pricing of the lower deck seating is the cheapest but a little higher than that of the seating on the 3 star Li River cruise boat. The pricing of the upper deck seating is a little higher than that of the lower deck seating while the pricing of the VIP seating is the most expensive. There is a Chinese buffet lunch on the 4 star Li River cruise boat available to all passengers whilst the upper deck (outdoor deck) is accessible to all passengers.

No matter they take any type of the seating, they are allowed to enjoy the buffet lunch on the boat. The buffet lunch includes fried meat with vegetables, several drinks, and several types of fruits in season.

3 Star Li River Day Cruise

Normally, the 3 star Li River cruise departs from Mopanshan pier by 10:00 am every day to Longtoushan Pier in Yangshuo. In August, some of the 3 star boats leave at 09:00, some leave at 09:30 am and some leave at 10:00 am. Whether the departure time of 10:00 am of the 3 star Li River cruise boat is applied just depends on the number of the passengers. If the number of the passengers taking the 3-star boat is small, the 3 star Li River cruise departing at 10:00 am will be unavailable.

Generally speaking, the cruise lasts for 3.5 – 4 hours from Guilin to Yangshuo. If the water currents in the river is large, the duration of the cruise could be just 3 – 3.5 hours. The 3 star Li River cruise is the most popular among domestic Chinese tourists as the ticket is the cheapest. The pricing of the lower deck seating and the upper deck seating is the same. There is just a simple Chinese packaged lunch on the 3 star boat.
