One-Day Essence Tour of Yangshuo

It is said that 'Guilin's scenery is the best under heaven, and Yangshuo's scenery is the best within Guilin.' Yangshuo is situated on the west bank of the Li River, 70 km from downtown Guilin. Yangshuo boasts spectacular landscapes with green hills, clear waters,奇特 caves, and beautiful peaks. There are many attractions in Yangshuo. Today, let me take you on a one-day essence tour of Yangshuo.

Ruyi Peak — Yulong River — Ten-Mile Gallery — West Street

1. Ruyi Peak Cable Car Scenic Area

As a newly developed scenic area in 2020, it is fair to say that Ruyi Peak, upon its debut, has become the 'new name card' of Yangshuo and the latest 'Instagram-worthy spot'. Activities: cable car, Ruyi cable bridge, 360-degree panoramic Cloud Top, forest walkway, glass bridge. The entire tour takes about 2 hours. Here, you can not only enjoy the full view of Yangshuo's karst landscape but also see many handsome men and beautiful women taking photos. Ruyi Peak is definitely a must-visit in Yangshuo.

2. Yulong River Bamboo Rafting

Yulong River bamboo rafting has 9 docks. The duration of the rafting varies at each dock. The two longest routes take 90 minutes each: one from Jinlong Bridge to Jiuxian, the other from Jima Dock to Gongnong Bridge. Both are return trips costing 255 yuan for two people, but you can take a shuttle bus back. On the bamboo raft, enjoy the beautiful mountains on both banks, feeling very relaxed and comfortable.

3. Cycling the Ten-Mile Gallery

Route: Jima Dock — Shuiedi Dock — Gongnong Bridge — Big Banyan Tree Park — Julongtan — Jinshui Rock — Moon Hill — then back to Gongnong Bridge — Butterfly Spring — Totem Ancient Trail — Third Sister Liu — Eternal Love

West Street needs no introduction. It is a must-visit place at night. Stroll through the ancient town and have a meal of beer fish. Go to a bar for a couple of drinks, listen to some music, and enjoy this moment of leisure and relaxation.
