上午八時三十分，游客登上兩艘游船，沿彎曲的漓江暢游五小時。船在八十公里長的漓江里大約航行二十五公里，然后返回，停靠在兩座山（傳說像一對羊角）腳下的一個小村莊—楊地。

　　船上的游客迎來的是數以百計的農民，農民們迫不及待地想把他們的東西賣給外國人賺點錢。以前，游船在一個叫陽朔的小鎮停靠。但由于該處通桂林的大道狀況日趨變壞，這條汽車路線已經中斷。

　　At 8:30 a.m., the tourists boarded two pleasure ships and enjoyed a delightful tour of the winding Lijiang River for five hours. The ships sailed about 25 kilometers in the 80-km-long river，then returned and were anchored in a small village — Yangdi at the foot of the two hills (which are like a pair of the ram’’s horns according to legend).

　　The tourists on the ships were greeted by hundreds of the peasants, and the latter lost no time in selling their goods to foreign tourists and earning some money. Formerly the pleasure ships were anchored in a small town — Yangshuo. But because the road from the town to Guilin was in increasingly worse condition, the automobile route was suspended.
