Fabulous Yangshuo!! 📸🌿
If there’s one place you visit during your time in China it should be Yangshuo in Guangxi province. I’ve been there twice and it’s definitely worth it.
This time, I chose to stay in a small family run hotel about 4km outside of the main town. it’s closer to nature and away from the crowds. Yangshuo town is chaotic so I’d recommend avoiding there. There are tons of really nice hotels dotted around the countryside. You will be able to rent scooters for getting around conveniently.
Similarly when it comes to food, don’t eat in the town. Look for somewhere more local. You won’t be disappointed.
When it comes to sightseeing, my favorite part was driving my scooter around the countryside and stopping off at my own leisure. I found it super relaxing and chill.
One of the big draws to this part of China is the nature and serenity so don’t waste that by joining group tours or hiring a guide.

China’s Flag in the Wind
As we celebrate China’s National Day, let’s embrace the beautiful flag as it blows majestically in the wind!!! And what better place to see the flag fly, than on the Li River!?! Indeed, taking a Li River cruise is the perfect way to see the amazing natural scenery surrounding Guilin. I have taken this trip three times now, and each time I love to capture a dramatic photo of the Chinese flag blowing majestically in the wind. This is also a perfect place to introduce guests from abroad to China. I took a Swedish friend here recently and he loved it.#flagship #China #Nationalpride #guangxi #yangshuo
⛰️Fresh air and Freedom in Yangshuo⛰️
Endless mountain ranges and the blue skies all around!
Renting a bike, electric or gas, is the best option here to explore the back roads winding through the rice fields. Taking a ride on a traditional bamboo boat is the best way to explore the pristine river.
The actual town area has many places to stay, offers many eateries and even some bars. Busier at night with many night snacks available.
Truly fresh air with an ever-present breeze, Yangshuo really exudes country freedom.

Yangshuo Sugar House
The aesthetics of this place are out of this world! I came across this hotel whilst scrolling on Instagram and was instantly drawn to it. I knew that if I were to visit Yangshuo, then this would have to be the place I stayed at! No question about it!
Everything was as pictured and exceeded my expectations! We spent 3 nights here and loved every moment. The easy access to the bamboo raft from the hotel and the fireworks display by the pool in the evening made it even more incredible. Absolutely stunning place! #yangshuo
Peak Ruyi Scenic Spot

Stunning Yangshuo Courtyard with a view ⛰️
Yangshuo has been my go to summer getaway destination for the past three years, it’s relaxing, slow-paced and stunningly beautiful.
The Giggling Tree/Gegeshu hotel is nestled away from the town centre/West Street area and easily accessible by moped (plus you get to enjoy riding through some of the most breathtaking scenery en route).
The beautiful rustic courtyard is away from the street and far enough from the crowds of West Street that you feel really at peace here.
The full English breakfast set came with a coffee and a juice for 50rmb and is a welcome taste of home. I sat in the courtyard under an umbrella and read my book over breakfast one morning and it was really tranquil. Some of the staff speak English and are really helpful, and their menu is also available in English.
Even if you’re not staying here, I would recommend coming for a coffee or a meal in a relaxing environment.

Amazing sunrise ☀️
I just had to take a trip to Gongxiang to take some photos but did not have time to do it in daytime so I booked a driver to take me to see the sunrise and I was back at my hotel just in time for breakfast with my family.
The driver picked me up at 4:30. Super early indeed but I love to take photos so this was my motivation to get up so early. It was a 40 min drive from Yangshuo and when er arrived there at the ticket booth they told me that there were some people up there already.
You have to walk up around 500 steps and it was dark but were some lamps to give light on the way. My driver waited in the car so I had to walk up alone.
I was up there almost one hour before the sunrise and and by the time of the sunrise there was more and more people but we all got a good spot to take our photos.
I got some amazing pictures in different colors. Absolutely worth the trip.

Moon hill in Yangshuo, Guilin
Entrance ticket: 20 RMB
Climbing time: around 60-80 minutes in total
Location: Yangshuo, Guilin, China
When: June 2023
Moon hill is a perfect hill to climb for everyone. It takes around 30-40 minutes to climb this hill. There are stairs till the top and a sightseeing platform at the top of the hill. It was rainy when we went there and even though it was a bit slippery we still were fine. The scenery from the top is great. There is a restaurant at the bottom of the hill where you can enjoy your meal while looking at the beautiful hill.

Karst Mountains in Yangshuo
We took a cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo, absorbing the beautiful views of the karst mountains from the water. Then we stayed at an inn outside of the old town so we could spend some quiet time relaxing and exploring the countryside. There were hiking trails through small villages, along fruit orchards. I also hiked to a little 500-year-old bridge and up some mountains for the gorgeous views. Street vendors are available all over to provide snacks and refreshments.

Yangshuo park
This park is located near famous place West Street. It is not so large, you can spend there around 30 min. There is one pagoda and some sculptures. But you can feel the real Yangshuo atmosphere, how local people live here: they play cards, dancing, walking, especially old people. Some mountains are around the park, there is a river too. Better to connect 2 places, visiting West Street and Yangshuo park. #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #park #yangshuo

Stunning views at Ruyi Peak!
When travelling to Yangshuo I highly recommend visiting Ruyi Peak.
Enjoy a scenic cable car ride up to where you reach the cross suspension bridge.
Once you've crossed the bridge there are stairs which take you up to the peak point where you can get a stunning view of the mountains.
You can then make your way down to the glass walkway bridge to take some photos sitting on the bridge.
The hike will take you about 2-3hrs total.
It was a beautiful day but extremely hot! So I suggest carrying sunblock, a hat, and water bottle.

A view of the Karst Mountains from Moon Hill
#tripblazers #mountainescape #yangshuo
With around 1000 stone steps (and a sneaky scramble under a railing), the trek to the top of moon hill is no easy feat, especially in the humidity of summer, but the view from the top of this natural phenomenon is well worth the walk. Situated in Yangshuo, moon hill has been long noted for its imposing beauty. Have a chat to the local women selling water whilst you are there!

Guilin River Cruise!
Route: Get picked up from your Guilin hotel and travel on a boat for three hours to picturesque Yangshuo town.
The boat journey is definitely one of the top tourist sights in the whole of China. The experience of standing on deck and sailing past these unique karst mountains is surreal but beautiful. Get your cameras ready to shoot some photos.
Tip: When you arrive in Yangshuo, stay the night and enjoy the culture there.

Yangshuo from above!
Yangshuo is one of my favourite places to travel in China. We stayed at the Jingjiang Tangsu hotel. It was clean and beside West Street. From the rooftop of this inn, I was treated to a panoramic view of Yangshuo. This is a wonderful place to fly a drone or to use your camera to photograph the amazing sunrise over the mountains.
Yangshuo west street has many souvenirs to buy, and lots of great places to eat and drink. There are also western chains such as Starbucks and McDonalds there to satisfy different tastes.
Nearby Yangshuo has lots of amazing river walks, boat rides and bike rides. You can easily spend an entire week here and not be bored - the scenery is mesmerising.

Pizza Lovers Paradise at West Street 🍕
Pizzeria Corner (Woodfired Pizza) is a cozy Italian eatery location in West Street, Yangshuo. It has a wide variety of food choices and is a great spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The ambiance is quaint and very relaxing. The hosts are very polite and courteous. I had a great experience eating here. I actually visiting this restaurant several times during my stay. #foodie #yearofrabbit #newyearadventure #MyTripVlog #cafe #urbanexplorer #yangshuo

Raidens retirement vacation
Today we discovered Shangri-La in Yangshuo . basically it’s folk authentic park with beautiful scenery .
On the way to this place , my bike died but this fact didn’t stop me . I got the new one and continue my journey.
It looks quite boring from the start , but when you go deep you can acquaint with some local traditions in food , behavior , dressing etc .
Make sure your tickets include boat trip . I didn’t want to take it , but I didn’t regret . During the trip I saw lot of nature views , trees blossom . There are some checkpoints in the way where park stuff dance when they see new boat .
the main thing about boat trip was floating through the cave .
try to find a time and visit this place ☝🏻Enjoy 😇
P.S. for mortal combat fans : don’t forget to buy one of these Raiden’s hats 😄

“Husband”mountain or Xianggong Shan
Today I discovered another beautiful spot in Yangshuo - Xianggong Mountain . To be honest I expected longer climbing route , but in fact it took around 15 min to reach the top . At the top there is a gorgeous view of the Lijiang river - this is exactly what I drove here for more than an hour.
About the name . Local people told me that there is a tale that every woman who will reach the top of this mountain - will find a husband very soon . I’m
wandering if after that she will come one more time ? Will she find second husband ? or third ?😂
P.S. If you guys will live nearby or will have free time , you should come here and enjoy at least this stunning view .
Enjoy🙏🏻

Back to Old Times - 'Xiong Village' in Guilin
During our last Guilin trip, we rented bikes and cycled around without any destination. After some hours we arrived in some very rural areas and found 'Xiong Village', or 'Bear Village', between Guilin city and Yangshuo. 🏞️
The village is very remote and most houses are empty, it looked like most of the population moved to newer districts. Nevertheless it was a great experience to walk trough old streets with buildings from another time. There even was a Gucheng style touristic street that is abandoned since years. Very interesting.
📍 If you want to visit the place, follow the location above, it's correct. Best way is with bike 🚴 or taxi.

Ruyi Peak Park 🏞️
Getting There - the easiest way to get there is a taxi, but if you leave near by you can also use your bike to get there
Attractions - basically it's a long trail with mountain views, there's a cable car, a glass bridge, a sky walk ( similar to the glass bridge, but a bit scarier, as for me😅), beautiful bridge with red wishing strings, they even have a small place where you can feed deer.
.
We were there in the beginning of September wich is a low season, so we got so lucky, cause basically there were no people at all and we didn't have to wait for hours in a line. So if you go there in a high seas#peak n be ready to spend some time is a lines.
there are also lots of places, where you can buy some water or snacks.

Sunset pictures in Yangshou
Getting There - Zhenmei Resort Chain hotel ( 123 West Street, Yangshou)
Attractions - nice rooftop top with lots of location for beautiful pictures with Mountain view
This place is so easy to find it's right at the entrance of West Street
It cost 50rmb to enter, you can stay there as long as you want, but I definitely suggest coming here right before sunset time, cause the view is amazing and definitely worth the money 🌄
If you want to take some Instagram pictures this is the place you should come for sure, you can even bring some other clothes and have a photoshoot there🤩
