What fun places are there around Yangshuo?

1. To visit the Li River, rafting on a bamboo raft is the most perfect way.

It is the best representative of Guilin, whether it is the highlight section from Yangdi to Xingping, or the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the largest tributary of the Li River in Yangshuo. The river meanders and has many attractions along the way. Bamboo rafting is the most recommended way to visit the Li River.

2. Cycling Ten Miles Gallery, the most recommended cycling route.

Third, starting from Yangshuo, you can reach surrounding places. A paradise, where you can experience the beauty of the colorful countryside at noon; Xingping Ancient Town, a non-commercial historical town, Julongtan, Banyan Tree, Moon Mountain, composed of two caves, Black Rock and Shuiyan. It is the only one-hole-two-tour in Yangshuo. In short, the surrounding mountains and water scenic spots are very beautiful. Arriving in Guilin is like entering a paradise on earth.

：What should I do when going to Yangshuo? What are the attractions and how to arrange the itinerary?

. Countless.

I don’t know how many times. I forgot who I was with and how we got to Yangshuo.

When you are lonely. When you are with friends. You are in a large group of people.

There are hiking, self-driving, buses and high-speed rail, and electric motorcycles, 12 months a year. Well, except for February and May.

The temperament of Yangshuo is sometimes like the buds of early spring. With life force, there is awakening.

Hot pot and Yangshuo ten-year brewing

Yangshuo ten-year brewing is well known Authentic way to eat, there are only four ways to eat here: mushroom lady/yuzu stuffed. This is opened by an old couple, and every dish needs to be cooked by the parents themselves. Almost every time I go back to Yangshuo, I eat here at least once.

Beer fish

You must eat Yangshuo beer fish. West Street is full of Liu Jie/Li Jie/Xia Jie/Ma Jie/Peng Jie/Qin Ma etc. I have eaten in almost every restaurant on West Street, but so far I have not found any restaurant that can truly represent the taste of Yangshuo's beer fish, especially Lijiang shrimp.

The shrimps in the Lijiang River belong to the Lijiang River. It's it's very small and it's a little crunchy to the bite. However, most of the recipes are Hunan cuisine, which it’s a pity not to have. This is not unique to Yangshuo.

Kaya Reggae Bar

Kaya is a bar with a strong post-modernist style and the earliest reggae-themed bar in China.

Drinking on the terrace gives me a sense of déjà vu as the past on West Street has gone by the wind, especially in April when it rains a little.

It's opposite Pony's old bar in Yangshuo.

It was here that my love for crafts truly began. Xu Wen, the owner and winemaker of Cao Tian, ??I think in a way, this is one of my memories in Yangshuo.

For this paragraph about Kaya, you can read the previous travel notes: "The most local way to travel to Yangshuo is to chat with them more."

Old Roots of the Old County

Many interesting people live in seclusion in Yangshuo, mainly in the old county and villages. If you come to Lao County, you can have dinner at Laogen. house. This is a farmhouse that has witnessed the development of Yangshuo and has a certain flavor of Yangshuo.

Mango Gang

In fact, the earliest flavor of Yangshuo should be mango, especially the rows of mangoes in the window of the mango shop.

Sometimes I see it on the street corner, sit there for a while, write a commemorative note, and hide it in a place that seems hard to find, thinking that I can find the memory when I come back later.

In fact, every time I go back, I can't find it, or I forgot to look for it, or I just wrote a new note, or I was erased like other memories.

The past of bamboo rafts and hiking

I don’t remember much about taking the bamboo raft. When I walked, I needed to cross the Li River three times. Sometimes it's a ferry, sometimes it's a ferry. This is a bamboo raft.

(Oranges just picked by the locals in the field)

At the end of Shilang Village, I met an old woman and helped her pick the pole for a while. It is not easy for an old man to come down from the mountain to sell things.

It was very lonely when hiking, because this hiking route is completely deserted, there are no people, and there is not even a road.

However, on the way from Yangshuo to Xingping, there is an ancient R&F town that is impressive. It's a peaceful feeling. It is much more popular than the old town.

The crowds and sunset in Laozhaishan

I have been to Laozhaishan several times. It's not high and it's not easy to climb. Compared with before, few people will come to the top of this hidden entrance, and now you can watch the sunset and wait with a large group of people

Compared with strenuous riding, electric riding may be the most popular in rural Yangshuo. A suitable way to walk, but it's not too far and can only circle the essence of the Li River. There aren't any cars around Shili Gallery now, but it's very comfortable.

Motorcycles and Yangshuo

One late winter more than two years ago, I had a sudden idea and rode a motorcycle throughout Yangshuo, Jinbaopuo, Baisha, Gaotian and other towns. The nature of Grape Peak Forest is relatively secretive and rarely inhabited. March and April are probably the most suitable seasons. Our hands were frozen during the game, so we stopped and rubbed ourselves in the mountains.

Rock climbing/paragliding/helicopter etc.

I am always ready to go rock climbing. At that time, I also learned about the relevant situation of the waves from Ji Ge, Secretary General of Yangshuo Rock Climbing Association. Sadly, however, there was not enough time to do this. After all, Yangshuo is a rock climbing resort. I have never experienced rock climbing in Yangshuo and have not integrated into the landscape of Yangshuo. Why am I embarrassed to say that I love Yangshuo?

As for paragliding and helicopters, these are experience projects that have only emerged in the past two years. There is a base over there at Moon Mountain. I haven't I haven't experienced it yet. It looks similar to replica projects in other cities. The aunties in Yangshuo are all young people from the past. Do you want to take a bamboo raft? ;Can I get a discount by changing it to paragliding? ;

Sun Dongchun s Dongyuan Meijia

There are many great inns and boutique hotels in Yangshuo, but apart from lazy cats who are used to checking in early in the morning and an inn that stays for half a month, I still like Mika from Sun Dongchun Dongyuan.

I met Sun Dongchun in Lazymao in 2014. At that time, he and his wife had just returned to China and were working as volunteers at Lazy Mao. While chatting with him while playing billiards and blowing water, I told him that I had done a test about him in high school, during my gap year.

When I saw him again in the east courtyard later, he became more and more popular.

Going to a place over and over again is just because the people there and the people who have been there have been there too many times, and there is no way to stay there for a long time, so the memories will inevitably seem too heavy.

I still remember when I went to Yangshuo alone, I got off the bus in Guilin and went to the Flower Mansion. Then I got off the bus in Yangshuo and flew to the door of the county hospital, and then a lazy cat came over on its own.

Every time I come to Yangshuo, I have to ask, when will the high-speed rail be opened?

Later, when the high-speed rail was first opened, after a while, the crowd began to grow from a sparse to a large group.

I have been back to Yangshuo many times, I don’t remember. I don't live here, so overlapping memories inevitably lead to some confusion.

Who is smiling on West Street? Who left a shadow by the Yulong River? Who makes memories at midnight?

Over the years, I have returned to Yangshuo again and again, and I have always wondered, what does Yangshuo taste like? As a traveler who pursues in-depth experience of the destination, what kind of Yangshuo is this?

Sometimes, Yangshuo is a small weekend for rest; sometimes, Yangshuo is a transit point to adjust before a long journey home; more often than not, Yangshuo is just Yangshuo.

If you love a place, how can you express and maintain this love other than staying there for a long time? Can we still hold on to these fragments of memory?

When I returned to Yangshuo a few days ago, Lazy Mao didn’t know when they stopped.

I miss that husky.

I miss my fierce and curious self.

Goodbye, Yangshuo.
