People could enjoy all the well-known scenic spots by a small boat. However ,with the changes of times, the “two rivers and four lakes ” were cut off , the Guilin Water System was fragmented and the water quality was worsened. In 1998, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Administration carried out the “Two River and Four Lakes” project: connecting the rivers and lakes, greening the hills and cleaning the water, cleaning the slit and dirt, drawing water into lakes, building the roads, putting up the bridges, greening up and beautifying, cultural construction, etc. This project has not only resumed and expanded the old Guilin water system, improved the ecological environment of the city center area and developed the grade and quality of the city, but the pleasure boats have also been sailing on the water of the city again. The recreational landscape which is superb in China can be compared well with the special water-tours in the cities like the “water city ” Venice, the Seine River Paris and the Amsterdam canal.

Today Dream tour of Guilin Water System has operated the day-and-night tour that is a new cruise line in Guilin. Therefore, the tourists can not only visit three scenic spots with their individual characteristics, but also appreciate the famous traditional hills along the water system in the pleasure boat. The three scenic spots are Chinese classical garden –Ronghu、Shahu lakes scenic spot, the harmony-of-man-with-natural ecological garden –Guihu lake scenic spot , the song dynasty historic cultural garden –Mulong lake scenic spot ,where you can enjoy the newly-built famous Bridges Exposition Garden, Famous Flowers, Trees and Weeds Exposition Garden, Pavilions and Towers Exposition Garden , and sculpture Exposition Garden. The famous traditional hills are the Elephant Hill, FuBo Hill, Yao Hill, BaoJi Hill and Laoren Hill, etc. It is different from the Li river natural hills and waters that Dreams Tour of Guilin Water System stresses the profound sediment of history and connotations of culture which are possessed by Guilin as a Chinese famous historical and cultural city. After resuming and connecting of the Guilin Water System, many important cultural relics – the Sheli Tower(tang dynasty), the song city  wall, the former Residence of LI Jishen and the place where general Ye Ting was imprisoned, which have long been consigned to oblivion and forgotten, have also been repaired, protected and excavated. The profound historical culture, beautiful natural hills and waters and good ecological environment in Guilin have been in perfect harmony in Guilin water system.
