Sep 18, 2009 - Yangshuo

The first day in Yangshuo was the most tiring and hot i've had in China. ...

Jun 28, 2009 - Yangshuo and the Li River

We arrived at 6:00 AM, and were greeted with a sunrise showing us amazing scenery! The karst mountains here are not just in a patch or two, but everywhere! The train arrived first into Guilin, that seemed a bit too big and bothersome, so a quick bus to Yangshuo down the road brought a welcome smaller town. ... Yangshuo is seated at the confluence of the Li and Yonglu rivers, and gives great options for all sorts of activities. ... It is pretty touristy, but it has been good in that it is really making us feel like we are on vacation for the first time.We arrived at 6:00 AM, and were greeted with a sunrise showing us amazing scenery!
