Come to Yangshuo to zone out ⛰️｜3 Days 2 Nights Lazy Guide

🚲 Itinerary Recommendations
DAY 1:
📍West Street Night Market (Yangshuo County Center)
During the day, you can browse various specialty shops; at night, it turns into a lively night market. Recommended to come at night to try beer fish, every place tastes great～Don’t forget to try the osmanthus glutinous rice wine, sweet and not intoxicating

DAY 2:
📍Ten-Mile Gallery (From Yangshuo County to Gaotian)
It’s recommended to rent an electric bike (30 RMB/day) to ride along, with attractions like Moon Hill and the Big Banyan Tree along the way. The mountain scenery on rainy days is especially magical and perfect for photos! You’ll pass many farmhouses on the road, so lunch can be had roadside

DAY 3:
📍Yulong River Bamboo Rafting (Jinlong Bridge - Old County Section)
The most classic drifting section, about 1.5 hours in total. Rafting in the rain feels even more special, and the boatman will explain the sights along the way. Remember to bring a waterproof phone pouch and trash bags to protect the environment

🍜 Food Highlights
▪️Rice noodles: Any small shop is delicious, 5-8 RMB for a big bowl
▪️Stuffed snails: The old brand on West Street is the most authentic
▪️Pine sugar: Local specialty dessert, the top choice for souvenirs
▪️Youcha (oil tea): Dong ethnic specialty, might take some getting used to on the first try
