Yangshuo - Yangshuo

Yangshuo(Chinese: 阳朔 县 / 陽朔 縣, Pinyin: Yángshuò xian) is a city in the autonomous region Guangxi.

background

In the primary school textbook in China there is a sentence "Guilin is the most beautiful place in the world". Then somewhere, probably in the same book, it says that "only Yangshuo is more beautiful". If you go on excursions in the area from Yangshuo, whether by boat, bike, on foot or by car, you can agree with this statement wholeheartedly.

getting there

Via Guilin, either by bus or by boat on the Li River, the latter should be part of the program either way when staying in Guilin or Yangshuo.

mobility

Yangshuo is very small and can be explored on foot. You can rent a bike or a taxi for excursions in the area.

Tourist Attractions

activities

"Impression Sanjie Liu" - A visit to this performance by the Chinese director Zhang Yimou, who also did the choreography for the opening show of the Olympic Games, is highly recommended. The performance takes place on the Li River, which is used as an open-air stage. The backdrops are the illuminated limestone hills in the area. The performers are professional actors, but also farmers from the region. The performance takes place every evening at 8:00 p.m. You should book your tickets in good time at one of the city's travel agencies or at the hotel. The show sells out daily. Except for the VIP area, all seats cost 160 RMB (in the low season) and 188 RMB in the high season.

Yulong He

It is recommended to visit this river. You can go on an "adventurous" trip on a bamboo raft at various points here. This is possible almost at any time of the year. If you have the time, a hike along the river is also a great way to admire the beautiful scenery.

shop

Everything is on Xi Jie (West Street). From the cheesiest holiday souvenir to the fake trekking jacket from all possible manufacturers. The neighboring streets also offer all kinds of such shopping opportunities.
