Oct 14, 2025
This trip takes you deep into the dreamy town of Yangshuo, nestled amidst mountains and water, to the legendary "paradise" so beautiful you won't want to leave. The Aksu region may boast vast grasslands and deserts, but in Yangshuo, where mountains and water blend seamlessly, every corner is picturesque. The key takeaway: Don't visit Yangshuo's "paradise"... you'll be mesmerized! 🤩 I personally experienced it, and it's truly breathtakingly beautiful. I couldn't bear to leave!
🌳 Details of the "paradise" revealed
In Yangshuo's "paradise," you'll experience a completely different pace of life from the city: crystal-clear lakes, lush green mountains in the distance, and the villages' bamboo houses, waterwheels, and old teahouses evoke a sense of another world. The attractions aren't just beautiful on the outside, they're also rich in cultural heritage. We especially recommend a bamboo raft cruise to take in the tranquility and ancient charm of this "paradise."

✨ My Friendly Tips and Review
We strongly recommend visiting in the morning to avoid the crowds and truly enjoy the tranquility. The park's routes are well-planned, ensuring no unnecessary detours, making it a great experience for families. If you enjoy photography, bringing a power bank is essential—every click of the shutter will yield a plethora of beautiful images. Remember to pack mosquito repellent in advance, as the park's dense vegetation means mosquitoes are likely to be numerous!
🥢 Food Recommendations
If you're hungry at lunchtime, try the authentic Yangshuo beer-battered fish served with vegetables and tortillas at one of the nearby restaurants. It's a truly authentic and affordable dish. The nearby "Lijiang Flavor Home" restaurant has great reviews and is within walking distance of Shiwai Xiayuan.
🚕 Transportation Tips
Shiwai Xiayuan is not far from popular downtown attractions like Yangshuo West Street and the Li River. Didi taxis are available, and the one-way journey takes about 20 minutes. Driving yourself is even more convenient; parking is available within the park for 10 yuan per day.
🛍️ Recommended Nearby Shops
Before leaving, browse the small specialty shops near the park exit. Bamboo weaving and Guilin landscape postcards are popular souvenirs.
Final reminder: Don't doubt this truly beautiful place, a place that even online photos can't capture. If you love nature, photography, and a slow pace, Yangshuo Shiwai Xiayuan is a must-see.
