The most correct way to open Yangshuo is inseparable from these four ways of playing

Everyone is familiar with Yangshuo, and quite a few people have been there. However, not many people know what Yangshuo is like, which is why some people fall in love with Yangshuo and go back again and again, while others just go there once and forget about it.

This article will tell you what to do in Yangshuo.

Rafting on the Yulong River

The Yulong River is the most beautiful tributary of the Li River. If the landscape of the Li River belongs to everyone, then the Yulong River belongs to Xiaojiabiyu.

Rafting on the Yulong River still uses bamboo rafts supported by rafters’ hands, unlike bamboo rafting on the Li River, which is driven by machine propellers.

Lying leisurely on the deck chair of the bamboo raft, the bamboo raft moves forward slowly, the river is as clear as a mirror, with green hills on both sides, farmhouses everywhere, wild ducks playing in the water, green mountains reflecting in the water, it is a picture of pastoral scenery , and you are integrated into this landscape painting, truly experiencing "the boat is sailing on the blue waves, and the people are swimming in the middle of the painting".

In this gentle style, there is also a hint of excitement. During the rafting process, you will pass many high or low dams, which can be described as a mini rapids.

Tips:

1. The total length is more than 40 kilometers, divided into three sections: upper, middle and lower sections. The first choice for rafting is the Jinlong Bridge-Jiuxian section, which takes about 1.5 hours.

2. A bamboo raft can only accommodate two people.

3. In the afternoon, the light is suitable for taking pictures without exposing it to the sun. In the morning, there are slightly fewer people.

Cycling along the Ten Mile Corridor

In the early days in Yangshuo, I felt that riding a bicycle along the bank of the Yulong River was very comfortable. Now that there are electric bicycles, it is even more comfortable.

The Shili Gallery located in Moon Mountain in Yangshuo is named because of the beautiful and picturesque scenery along the road. The nearly 10-kilometer bicycle path from West Street to Shili Gallery has a viewing platform and a rest pavilion. There are continuous peaks on both sides of the road, and the pastoral scenery is picturesque. There are famous scenic spots such as Butterfly Spring, Big Banyan Tree Scenic Area, Totem Ancient Road, and Moon Mountain. It is a great place to ride all the way. For sightseeing and taking photos, a short route of just a few kilometers can take up a good half of the day.

This is not the only Yangshuo cycling route. Fuli Bridge and Yulong Shuiyun are also worth experiencing. Of course, you can also find more beautiful Yangshuo cycling routes.

Tips:

1. Generally, you ride from West Street to Shili Gallery. If you want a longer route, you can consider riding from a certain section of the Yulong River pier to Shili Gallery.

2. There are many places to rent bicycles and electric vehicles in Yangshuo. Currently, there are not many that support the return of bicycles at different points. You basically need to return the bicycle at the original point.

Climbing Xianggong Mountain

Whether it is rafting on the Yulong River or cycling on the Ten Mile Corridor, the landscape of the Lijiang River we see is eye-level and harmonious. Looking up, if you want to overlook the Lijiang River, you can do it without a drone.

Xianggong Mountain, Laozhai Mountain and Damian Mountain located in Xingping Town are less than 30 kilometers away from Yangshuo County. When you climb to the top of the mountain, you can see the rolling green mountains and Lijiang Bay at a glance.

Among them, Xianggong Mountain is the easiest to reach. The whole journey is made up of repaired steps. You can climb to the top in 15 minutes. You can enjoy the misty rain on the Li River and the sunrise over the sea of ??clouds. Under certain weather conditions, Xianggong Mountain can give you.

Not only can you take a leisurely tour of the Lijiang River, you can also perfectly combine outdoor sports with enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Tips:

If you are a mountaineering expert, you can consider Da Mian Mountain. The top of this mountain has the best view, but is also the most difficult to climb. There are no repaired steps in Laozhai Mountain, so climbing is a bit strenuous, but not difficult. It is a good place to watch the sunset over the Li River.

Xingping Hiking

The coast of the Li River is a United Nations Nature Reserve and no houses are allowed to be built within 500 meters. This is the best place to enjoy the Li River on foot.

Guilin’s landscapes are the best in the world, Yangshuo’s landscapes are the best in Guilin, and the essence of Yangshuo is in Xingping. There are several hiking routes in Xingping. The Osmanthus Ancient Trail is not only the most popular hiking route in Xingping, but also one of the top ten classic hiking routes in Guilin. Along the way, the ancient osmanthus trees are fragrant and the scenery is beautiful. Climbing up the hill, you can overlook the "Silly Bay" Daguai, continue up the mountain, you can go to Tengjiao Temple with "one person, one temple".

From this hiking route, you can also extend your hike to Damian Mountain, Xianggong Mountain, and other famous scenic spots like Jiatianxia. How many kilometers you hike in a day is up to you.

Tips:

1. The train station is in Xingping Town, Yangshuo County.

2. From mid-March to early April, grapefruit flowers bloom for about 20 days in Xingping Town, and milkvetch blooms for about half a month. This period is the most beautiful, and there are fireflies from May to early June.
