Yangshuo Travel Blogs

Rain, rain and more rain in Guilin, flooding my hostel and washing down the dirty streets. During my busride to Yangshuo it's still pouring down, and I can't see anything other than thick white foggy clouds. However, as I arrive in Yanghsuo the weather clears a bit, and I'm hit by Yangshuo's beauty…

Yesterday Bill and I hiked Moon Hill.  We'd been told by more than a few travelers that it's eight hundred steps to the top.  The first time or two I heard it I thought they were counting their steps, or trying to give some measure of distance.  By the third or fourth person though, …

Beautiful is a word that is tossed around too easily in travelling circles, in the same way that the sobriquet of “genius” is applied to far too many musicians. Every time I talk to fellow tourists, the places they have been are: "Just beautiful! You'll love it." Often, when I get to these pl…

People i met here, who contributed to and improved my trip: Juliana (Russia), Daniel and Kitty (Sweden), Breanna and Darcy (Canada), Mr Wei and his family (China) After seeing reviews on Hostelworld, we decided to pay a little more than normal to stay in a place called Culture House in Yangshuo. F…

Today we got lost. Completely lost. And it was the greatest day. 3...2...1... life begins now. Aujourd'hui nous avons loue des velos de montagnes avec l'idee d'aller voir de plus pres un des Kartz a l'exterieur de la ville. On a une carte. Les velos sont en bon ordre. Il fait super beau et chaud. …

@ Lijiang River Cruise This river flows from Guilin to Yangshou and is the life and the reason for the incredible karst landscape. The views are great along the river and there are all sorts of odd shapes around like 9 Horses ( I swear I could only see 5). Definitely recommend this trip down the …

Returning to my room after eating a spot of dinner I was caught off guard by a filthy cockroach scuttling across the floor of my room. With cat like reflexes I grabbed the nearest cup and slammed in down on the  ugly blighter. I left the room safe in the knowledge that I'd caught him and he w…

     So, now that I know I can steal photos, here is what my original hotel here in Yangshuo looks like, from its website Morningsunhotel.com.  It's a delightful place, really, and now that I've had to move to the White Lion Hotel because the MS was full starting with the …

DAY 1 Originally we had planned to go to Guilin first and book onward tickets to Chengdu for a few days time. But we soon realised that we would pass through Yangshuo which is where we wanted to be, and that we could book onward tickets from there. So after waking up on the night bus to the most …

Yangshuo is famous for it's limestone cliffs and the good atmosphere. I did found the cliffs and they are incredible but I didn't really connected to the atmosphere. I was hopping to find a small place where I can just sit down and relaxed but I found myself in the middle of some kind&nbs…

One month in China April 24th-May 23rd, towns visited: 3. I am such a shitty backpacker, but I do love Yangshuo.

My first return since a near death experience 14 years ago.   The town (and country as a whole) has changed so dramatically I hardly recognize it.  To the locals, my being here hardly bats an eye.

Today I decided to take another bike trip this time south towards Moonlight Mountain and the Big Banyan Tree.  Didn't have a good start as the road was very busy with buses and trucks ... and hence dusty.  It could have been worse as I met some people who said they were white (from dust)&…
