The 4 star boat are the finest reliable boat type on the river. Maximum capacity on these boats is 70 passengers with seats spread over a lower and upper deck, with noticeably fewer passengers than on the types mentioned below (120-150). As with all Li river cruises, the included lunch is not the biggest draw (but better than the 3 star lunch) but the high standard of facilities and decor, the cleanliness of the boat, and the fact you will enjoy more space with fewer passengers aboard, makes this the most comfortable way to enjoy the stunning Li river scenery on your way to Yangshuo. The boarding time is scheduled at 9:20am, and the whole journey takes about 4 hours. With boat guide's company and interpretation, you could immerse yourself in the stunning karst landscape made up of rolling hills, verdant forests, odd caves and tranquil villages along the Li River. A packed Chinese lunch will be offered on board before you reach Yangshuo at 2:00pm.
