Answer

Getting on the cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo:

The most popular departure point for the Li River cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo is the Guilin Cruise Terminal (also referred to as the Guilin Li River Pier), located near the city center. Most cruises take around 4–5 hours, passing through scenic karst landscapes along the Li River.

Ticket purchase options:

You can buy tickets on the day of the cruise at the Guilin pier, but availability may be limited during peak travel seasons (spring and autumn), so it is safer to book in advance.
Tickets can be purchased online in advance through official cruise operators or travel agencies. Booking online guarantees a seat and sometimes allows you to choose a preferred departure time.
Some hotels and local travel agencies in Guilin also offer booking services for the cruise.

Getting to the cruise pier from Guilin city:

Public buses: Several buses from Guilin city center go to the Li River cruise departure points, usually from the Guilin Railway Station or nearby bus stops.
Taxi: A convenient option if you want to go directly to the pier; it takes roughly 15–20 minutes from downtown Guilin.
Bus or shuttle services: Some operators provide direct shuttle buses from Guilin Railway Station or hotels to the cruise pier.

Additional tips:

Arrive at the pier at least 30 minutes before departure to allow for ticket check-in and boarding.
Check the weather forecast as cruises may be affected by heavy rain or fog.
Consider whether you want a standard, deluxe, or VIP cruise class; deluxe options usually include meals and better seating with panoramic windows.

In summary, you can board the cruise at Guilin Cruise Terminal, tickets are available both on the day and online in advance, and taxis, buses, or hotel shuttles can take you to the pier from downtown Guilin.
