Q & A
Do we need to reserve tickets for Reed Flute Cave or the Li River cruise in advance?
We handle all reservations and ticket purchases for you. For the Li River cruise, we confirm seats based on your passport details ahead of time. On the day, just follow your guide—no need to queue at ticket windows.
Are the Li River cruise seats assigned? Can we choose which side to sit on?
Seats are usually assigned by the cruise operator, but the boat has open decks so you can move around freely. The scenery is on both sides, so no seat is bad. Your guide will suggest the best viewing spots.
Are there vegetarian or halal options for lunch on the Li River cruise?
The on-board lunch is simple and usually includes rice, vegetables, and a meat dish. Vegetarian options are available if you tell us in advance. For halal or other strict diets, we recommend bringing some snacks, as the boat kitchen has limited flexibility. We can also arrange a packed meal for you.
Are life jackets provided on the Li River cruise and Yulong rafts? Is it safe for non-swimmers?
Yes, life jackets are provided on the cruise and are mandatory on bamboo rafts. The water is generally calm, and the boatmen are experienced. Non-swimmers are fine as long as they wear the jacket and follow the guide's instructions.
Is there an English-speaking guide with us for both days?
Yes, a professional English-speaking guide will accompany you throughout both days, managing all tickets, explaining the sights, and helping with any needs. The driver speaks Chinese, and the guide bridges all communication.
Can we leave our luggage at the hotel during Day 2, or must it go in the car?
Both options work. If you're returning to the same hotel that night, you can leave bags with the front desk. If you'll be dropped off elsewhere after the tour, keep them in the private car. The driver will watch them while you sightsee.
