Yangshuo is an incredibly beautiful
place. The landscape is dotted with karst (eroded limestone) peaks and the Li river winds
its way past, heading south to join the Pearl River before the South China Sea.
Yangshuo is your break from all the major cities
in China. This is where you can experience some real China. Getting out into the countryside to see traditional rural life is easy. Most choose to take a bike but you can also go on foot or by car or boat. You can go with or without a guide; there are advantages to each style - so choose your own.
Yangshuo is a very laid back town with excellent facilities for visitors. The town has a better choice of hotels and guesthouese than most cities, with more top-end ones on the way. There are many agencies offering just about every kind of activity that you can imagine.
This site is here to help you get a grip on all the possibilities and to make informed choices for your time in Yangshuo. Enjoy your visit.

Guilin to Yangshuo Expressway
There is now a new Expressway that links Guilin and Yangshuo. This new road is perfect for airport transfers as it cuts the travelling time by about half an hour. We came from the airport yesterday on the new expressway and it took an hour and 10 minutes instead of the usual 1 hour and 45 minutes.....click here for the rest of the article
If you have booked an arrival transfer to your hotel in Yangshuo, check to see if the car will be using this new road. Please note that this new expressway has a toll and your transfer will be more expensive than going on the old road
In the future, this expressway will go all the way to Guangzhou which would mean that bus services to Guangzhou and Shenzhen will be quicker and safer

Christmas Party
Thank you so much for the information regarding the Christmas party at the Buffalo Bar. We never thought we would be able to have such a great christmas dinner with nice bottle of Aussie Red while traveling through China. I know where to come next Christmas.
Yangdi-Xingping
Definitly my favourite trip ......but I have done this trip on a local raft....about 2hrs.
On a lovely sunny Autumn day you could not get it any better. The rafts stop off for photo shots at the 9 horses mountain. ....click here for the rest of the article
There is a commercial photographer there who will develop & laminate your photo for 10Y. The river "mafia" collect 4y per person somewhere along the trip, but to stop arguments with foreigners the raft driver now pays them.
We were dropped off along the river from Xingping which allows for a pleasant wander back into town up through the old street...( which keeps evolving very quickly) to the bus station. At Yangdi there
is a very good restaurant ...the last building before the river. Very good food at a resonable cost. On both my trips we had lunch there before taking the raft. To get to Yangdi catch a local bus at the bus station.
Highly recommended trip.
