The Ten-Mile Gallery, popularized by President Carter, requires a bit of imagination!
Visiting Yangshuo, of course, the must-do activity is cycling through the 'most beautiful' Ten-Mile Gallery. Along the way, the landscape is accompanied by mountains and waters, with peaks that are both strange and beautiful, like something out of a poem or painting. In 1987, because former U.S. President Carter once came here for a bike ride, it is also known as 'Carter Scenic Road'.
Of course, the Ten-Mile Gallery itself is not a perfect cycling route; it is actually part of National Highway 321! During weekends and holidays, it can get so congested that you start to question life. Forget about cars, sidecars, and electric vehicles; bicycles and walking can get you around faster.
The Ten-Mile Gallery is free of charge, starting from West Street in Yangshuo, and strings together attractions such as Totem Ancient Trail, Heavenly Music Butterfly Spring, Yulong River, Gongnong Bridge (with the Camel Crossing the River on the west side), Big Banyan Tree, Moon Hill, Julong Pool, Jinshui Rock, Guilin Eternal Love, Ruyi Peak, and other scenic spots, all of which require separate tickets.
The Yulong River route includes the Scholar's Path to the Imperial Examinations, unlocking the ancient city site of Guiyi. Here you can find the Tang Dynasty city walls, the Song Dynasty Xian Gui Bridge, the Ming Dynasty Yulong Bridge (Huilong Bridge), Fuli Bridge, and the Qing Dynasty Scholar's Manor, among others. Along the way, there are also many rock climbing, hot air balloon, helicopter, and camping experience points, all of which require additional fees.
If you don't want to buy a ticket for Moon Hill, you can go to Li Village, which is the best spot for a distant view of the full moon. Walking in the flowing landscape painting, you can experience the karst topography and the traditional mud baths of the Zhuang ethnic group up close.
The Ten-Mile Gallery is a paradise for photographers and painters, with the mountains gradually taking on many interesting names, such as Dolphin Emerging from Water, Flame Mountain, Pigsy Sunbathing, Golden Cat Exiting Cave, Horse Elephant Rocks, Monkey's Worry, Camel Crossing the River, and Beauty Dressing, among others.
Strolling through it, you not only need a bit of imagination and mood, but also a pair of eyes that can discover beauty. In the places where few people tread, the landscape is quiet, and so is the heart.
Along the way in the Zhuang villages, there are also many interesting place names, such as Zhudu Village, Huangni Dang (pronounced 'dang').
Shili Gallery is actually a road, there is a river next to the road, there are some flowers and plants between the river and the road, next to the river is the continuous karst landform, typical feng shui pastoral scenery. No tickets, the biggest feeling of walking in Shili Gallery is to get close to nature and relax. There are many attractions along the way in Shili Gallery, and you can’t finish it in a day. It is recommended to do a guide before going. Those who like to walk can walk in the past, so that they can have a better experience. If you are tired, you can rent an electric car for about 40 yuan a day.
There is an oversized butterfly 🦋 shaped stalactites. If you buy online, you need to go to the ticket office to exchange paper tickets for entering the park after 1 hour. There is a free tour guide at the door for a time period. There is also a performance of the Dai song. There is also a performance at the door at night. If you go to Shili Gallery, you can still go there.
Guilin landscape is the best in the world, Yangshuo landscape is the best in Guilin. Cycling around Shili Gallery, you can see the beautiful green mountains, large swathes of rape flower fields, and the green mountains are reflected, the air is fresh, the birds and flowers are fragrant, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Because I can't find the name of this new net red trail and net red rice field west of Yangshuo Shili Gallery, I temporarily borrowed the name of Shili Gallery. This net red rice field and trail are suitable for cycling and walking. After there is a bamboo raft pier, the karst peak forest is towering around, and the middle is an idyllic scenery, which is very suitable for people who love beauty to take pictures! Specifically, through the following places, Huoma Wharf, Chaoyang Pavilion, Shuangliu Yidu Pavilion, Murakami Spring Tree, etc....
不要进景区! 租一个电瓶车/徒步,在遇龙河旁边的小道和其他公路走就好了。景区性价比除了溶洞都超低,没有意思 (尤其是榕树景区可千万别去)。不考虑被景区坑的前提下,我给满分。景色美不胜收,趣味高,自由度高。
