Travel Guide Yangshuo 阳朔

Starting point for the cruise on the Li River, Yangshuo is identified with beautiful karst landscapes. This village has become a city, a destination for backpackers, and also has the votes of expatriates in China. Too much tourism for some, a step-by-step step for others, Eden for others… Everyone is doing his opinion and nostalgia will remind them that the little city was just ten years ago. But the beauty of the surrounding area is unanimous: a strange, enchanting beauty, forcing the travelling traveller to make it, for a time, its home port.The ultra-tourism zone remains very concentrated: It occupies essentially the «Rue des Foreign», Xi Jie and its adjacent alleys. It is based on local or western dishes, far from the Octopus Chinese cities, but always with a crowd of tourists on the doorstep! As soon as we get out of this "Disneyland" to become, towards its superb and changing campaign, it is when the real wonder begins.The very numerous walks are to be preferred by bicycle, in the middle of the rice fields and the karst landscape. You can also walk on foot or by boat, jogging along the river, cross the villages in a constantly changing panorama. We're going to meet the surrounding villagers, who are very welcoming, and we find this traditional China that you don't get tired of. We are surprised to return to the region again and again…
