Yangshuo, nestled amidst the Karst Mountains of Guangxi province in China, is a tranquil escape renowned for its idyllic landscape of limestone peaks and meandering rivers. The Li River, with its clear waters and traditional fishing rafts, offers one of the most picturesque river cruises in China, providing a serene way to take in the stunning scenery. Yangshuo’s countryside is a patchwork of rice paddies and quaint villages, best explored by bicycle or on a leisurely hike. The town itself has a laid-back atmosphere, with West Street (Xi Jie) at its heart—a bustling thoroughfare lined with shops, cafes, and bars where both locals and tourists converge.
