The ticket office was closed and we did not have to pay to go up. They did however take our temperature and we had to show our passports. Having experienced it for free, I would still pay to go up, it was fun and worth the climb! We took a different route up and came down a different route. You get to see different things as you meander around the hill. Enjoyed very much! We even saw a man swimming in the Li river. If you look closely you can spot him in the third photo. Lovely way to spend 1.5 hours, highly recommend.

Known for the scening limestone formations and mountains, the Li river cruise has much to offer in terms of cruising over a couple of hours. Each bend and turn gives new views of the natural formations and picturesque shoots. Also known as the Presidential cruise, Bill Clinton went on this part of the cruise when he was President of US.
