Yangshuo

China, an East Asian country is one of the world’s oldest civilizations. It has a vast cultural history of more than five thousand years and an outstanding natural beauty. On the other hand, this country has remained a comparatively isolated and secluded one, and being a land of mystery, this country is not known to the western half of the world. However, China is rapidly developing and has grown in the phase of modernization, with an immense speed and is also welcoming the outer world to interact and do business with them.

Yangshuo is located 65 kilometers southeast of Guilin by road, and is the popular destination of river cruises from the city. Yangshuo has the same striking scenery as Guilin, but is a much smaller and quieter town and is closer to the craggy limestone hills. Many tourists just visit Yangshuo for a few hours at the end of a boat cruise but a longer stay allows visitors to relax and enjoy its mellow atmosphere.

Yangshuo is a great place for exploring the countryside by bike, gain first hand experience of rural China and a different perspective of the region. The climb up Moon Hill is a wonderful way to view the landscape and other places to look out for as one can peddle alongside paddy fields. These paddy fields include Green Lotus Peak and Buddha Cave. This place leaves a pleasing and unforgettable memory and justifies the proud cultural tradition of China.
