A Week in Yangshuo, China

With an abundance of natural beauty, Yangshuo is surrounded by countless karst mountains which have become a picturesque icon of China.

We were blessed with time and had 6 days to lazily explore in and around Yangshuo. There was plenty to see and do from relaxing river cruises to extreme sports. Whilst we didn’t do everything, we loved everything that we did (with the exception of the assembling dragon cave which we thought was good/okay).

Day 0 (Pre Yangshuo) - Sleeper coach journey from Shenzhen to Yangshuo
Day 1- Bike hire, Assembling Dragon Cave, Moon Hill,
Day 2- West Pedestrian Street
Day 3- Li River Bamboo Raft Cruise
Day 4- Longji Rice Terraces (surrounding Ping’An Village)
Day 5- Longjing River Drift
Day 6- Yangshuo TV Tower, Cycle tour

If you are pushed for time you can probably do the same itinerary in half the time, it will be exhausting though and you will need good weather:
Day 1: Cycle tour (including the Assembling Dragon Cave, Moon Hill), West Pedestrian Street
Day 2: Yangshuo TV tower (climb for sunrise), Li River Bamboo Raft Cruise, Longji River Drift
Day 3: Longji Rice Terraces
