1. Choose manually pushed bamboo rafts! Electric rafts don’t go to the best section!
2. Wear a hat + sun protection clothing when riding electric scooters! The sun in Yangshuo is fierce!
3. Check the menu before ordering in West Street restaurants to avoid being overcharged!
4. Get up early! Get up early! Get up early! The golden photo time is 6-8 AM!

Waiting for your check-in in the comments:
“Would you climb a mountain at 5 AM for a landscape photo?”

Come to Yangshuo,
Let the mountains wash your eyes, let the water cleanse your lungs,
Let the slow life
Cure your anxiety.
