"Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and Yangshuo's landscape is the best in Guilin" Yangshuo, with a total area of 1,436 square kilometers. So, where is the fun in Yangshuo, Guilin? It is the Yulong River and Jiuma Painting Mountain!
Yulong River
When you go to Yangshuo, you must visit the Lijiang River. The Yulong River is the longest tributary of the Lijiang River in Yangshuo, with a total length of 43.5 kilometers and a drainage area of 1.58.47 square kilometers. The water quality is clear all the year round, the water flows slowly, there are 28 weirs and dams, and there are more than 111 scenic spots. There are no so-called modern buildings, no traces of artificial carving and no urban noise in the whole Yulong River scenic area. If the Lijiang River is compared to a "good family", then the Yulong River is a "small jasper" that makes people feel excited. It is a good way to take a bamboo raft on the Yulong River to watch the beautiful scenery on both sides of the strait. The rolling green hills and the blue waves are leisurely and beautiful!

Transportation to scenic spots: generally, you go by bike, swim in Yulong River, and then go to scenic spots such as Big Banyan Moon Mountain
Opening hours: all day
Transportation: there are few modern means of transportation on both sides of Yulong River, and you can only walk or ride a bike on the country roads along the shore, and cycling+rafting is the most enjoyable way to play. In the morning, spend 15-21 yuan money to rent a mountain bike in the West Street of Yangshuo (if you live in the West Street, you can rent a car nearby in your hotel, and you can bargain with your boss to 11 yuan) and ride a bike to Yulong Bridge (that is the starting point of rafting). * * * There are two ways to go. One is to take Guiyang Highway, which is easy to walk and can be reached in less than 1 hours. There is also a riverside path. Turn right from the workers' and peasants' bridge in the big banyan tree scenic area, go upstream along the Yulong River and take the country road. The road is long and difficult to walk, but the scenery is good. It takes about 3 to 5 hours to get there. When drifting, you can put your bicycle on the bamboo raft or use it by the drifting company to return to the Gongnong Bridge, the end of drifting.
Jiuma Painting Mountain
When I went to Jiuma Painting Mountain for the first time, I went by boat. I just felt beautiful after a quick trip, but this time it was different. I chose to drive by car. The scenery along the way from the first observation deck of Lijiang River to Jiuma Painting Mountain was excellent, and the view was superb. Especially here at the Huashan Yunshe, I can enjoy the scenery of Lijiang River, which is absolutely beautiful. It can be said that it is the most amazing of my self-driving trip in Yangshuo. The parking dock of Jiuma Painting Mountain gave me a bad impression. Some villagers collect fees indiscriminately, which is still very tough, and the dock is not the best place to see Jiuma Painting Mountain! What surprises me most is that there is a fork road leading to the river when entering the village. The scenery here is better than the pier, and you can camp, but you must remember to take the garbage away.
