If you haven't been to Yangshuo, you really haven't seen the most beautiful landscapes in China!

Guilin's scenery is the best under heaven, and Yangshuo's scenery is the best in Guilin! This small town hidden in Guangxi is absolutely amazing—every snap looks like a postcard, and my friends kept asking when I posted on social media😍

🌄 Perfect 3 days 2 nights itinerary:
Day 1:
📍 Yulong River Rafting (Yulong Bridge Pier, Baisha Town)
You must take the bamboo raft! The most beautiful section is from Jinlong Bridge to Jiuxian, a 90-minute drift that feels like you're traveling inside a painting. The raft master will also explain the scenery along the way, remember to tip~

📍 Ten-Mile Gallery (Ten-Mile Gallery Scenic Area, Yangshuo County)
It’s recommended to rent an electric bike (30-50 RMB/day) to ride through. Along the way, you'll pass Moon Hill, the Big Banyan Tree, and other attractions. The evening light is perfect for photos, with golden rice fields perfectly matching the karst peaks!

Day 2:
📍 Xianggong Mountain (Xingping Town, Yangshuo County)
The top choice for sunrise! Although you have to get up at 4 AM to climb, the sea of clouds and sunrise are breathtaking. Tickets are 60 RMB, and it only takes 20 minutes to reach the summit. A must-visit for photography lovers.

📍 Xingping Ancient Town (Xingping Town, Yangshuo County)
It retains the authentic northern Guangxi style. The rice noodles and pine flower candy on the old street are super delicious. The 20 RMB banknote background photo spot is right by the Li River near the ancient town~

Day 3:
📍 Silver Cave (Lipu County, Guilin City)
One of Asia’s most beautiful karst caves, with colorful lights inside that are super dreamy. Tickets are 65 RMB, the whole tour takes about 2 hours. Remember to bring a jacket as it’s a bit cool inside.

📍 West Street Night Tour (West Street, Yangshuo County)
You must come at night! Neon lanterns create a great atmosphere. Highly recommend the master chef’s beer fish and stuffed snails. After eating, you can go to a bar to listen to live music~

🍜 Food Guide:
✅ Beer Fish (everywhere on West Street)
✅ Guilin Rice Noodles (the old brand "Ritouhuo" is excellent)
✅ Stuffed Snails (the most authentic in West Street alleys)
✅ Pine Flower Candy (a specialty souvenir from Xingping Ancient Town)

🏡 Accommodation Suggestions:
✅ Homestays by the Yulong River (open the window to a landscape painting)
✅ Near West Street (super convenient for eating, drinking, and entertainment)
✅ Xingping Ancient Town (quiet and stylish)

📸 Photo Tips:
1️⃣ Wear bright colors to match the scenery better
2️⃣ Sunrise and sunset light is the softest
3️⃣ Photos of your back on the bamboo raft are very artistic
4️⃣ Remember to bring a tripod for time-lapse shots

If you haven't been to Yangshuo, you really haven't seen the most beautiful landscapes in China! Every snap looks like a blockbuster, and my girlfriends even thought I went on vacation to Southeast Asia😝
