"Where the forest ends and the water begins, there lies a mountain"

"Where the forest ends and the water begins, there lies a mountain." I used to think this line from "The Peach Blossom Spring" was just a story, until the moment the boat emerged from the Yangshuo cave—I realized I had found the Peach Blossom Spring from my textbooks right here in Yangshuo, Guilin! Peach trees line the shore, Zhuang wooden houses are nestled in the verdant mountain hollows, and ethnic minority people working in the fields hum tunes and dance. Standing at the bow of the boat, I suddenly forgot I was just a tourist checking in! tips for a great experience:
1. The 60 yuan ticket even includes the full boat ride—such value is legendary!
2. Try to arrive early! In the morning, the mist hasn’t lifted yet, mountain peaks seem to float in the clouds, and the boat gliding over the water feels like traveling through an ink painting.
3. Choose seats at the front or rear cabin of the boat! When turning, the shadows of mountains and water overlap like a scroll painting, and every snapshot looks like a scenic masterpiece with a built-in filter.
4. Don’t miss the glutinous rice wine at the Wind and Rain Bridge! Enjoy a free sip that’s sweet to the core, and check out the exquisite handmade tie-dye crafts, plus delightful surprises like mountain songs and embroidered balls with the local girls!
5. Remember to raise your phone as the boat exits the cave—you’re about to see the Peach Blossom Spring, and many linger so long they miss the perfect photo opportunity! A true paradise on earth.
