Travel in China
Give the park a relaxed half-day: a loop from the Flower Bridge past the Putuo peaks, Camel Hill and Seven Star Cave covers the essentials. Mornings are coolest and calmest before the tour groups arrive.
Suggested Itinerary
- Arrival
Buses 11, 14, 18, 24, 30 and 206 stop beside the gates on the Li River's east bank. Buy the 100 RMB combo ticket if the cave is on your list. - Park Loop
Cross the Song-dynasty Flower Bridge and wander among the seven 'Big Dipper' peaks to Camel Hill, the camel-shaped rock where Bill Clinton once spoke. - Cave and Return
