Trip Moments Recommendations
#Yulong River Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Strolling in the painting
'The reflection of the peaks makes the mountains float on the water, without water and mountains, it's not captivating.' This truly depicts Guilin thoroughly. People embedded in this landscape will see many naturally formed scenes. During the day, there are green mountains and clear waves, at dusk, it's golden and purple, and at night, there are layers of shadows. The creation of ink painting between mountains and rivers is probably conveying this.
When boating, when looking at the river, what will people think of? They will think of 'Only the breeze on the river, and the bright moon between the mountains, the ears hear it and it becomes sound, the eyes meet it and it becomes color. There is no prohibition to take it, and it is inexhaustible to use it. This is the inexhaustible treasure of the creator, and it is what I and you are comfortable with.'

Yangshuo | 3 Days 2 Nights Travel Itinerary, The Ultimate Pitfall-Avoidance Guide
| 3 Days 2 Nights Travel Itinerary, The Ultimate Pitfall-Avoidance Guide. Traveling with kids and dogs in Yangshuo, where every step is a scene, and it's picturesque like a scroll‼️ Although mom had a little fall while cycling, luckily we didn't fall into any traps, no queuing, no traffic jams, and we had a happy 3 days and 2 nights. Here comes the travel guide
Day 1: The most beautiful Yulong River cycling
●Route: Depart from the hotel👉Ten-Mile Gallery👉Gongnong Bridge👉Yulong River Trail (navigation)👉Yulong River Dam👉Yangshuo check-in point at the end of West Street. Enjoy delicious food on West Street in the evening.
●No entrance fee for the whole journey, few people and beautiful scenery‼️
●Tips: West Street is similar to most ancient town streets in the country, heavily commercialized, and not worth strolling around. Better to take more photos by the water
Day 2: Xianggong Mountain👉Xingping Wharf👉20 Yuan Background Spot👉Xingping Ancient Town
●Xianggong Mountain: Take a boat from the wharf of Xingping Ancient Town to the opposite shore, the boat fare is 10 Yuan/person, it is recommended not to skimp. After landing, take a chartered car to Xianggong Mountain, 150 Yuan/person, including the entrance ticket of 60 Yuan, which can take you directly to the entrance. The viewing platform of Xianggong Mountain offers the most beautiful scenery of Yangshuo, which is definitely worth a visit
●20 Yuan Background Spot: I have a detailed introduction in my previous note, everyone be careful not to be fooled to other places.
●Xingping Ancient Town: Personally, I think it lacks distinctive features, you can choose whether to go according to your preferences, not far from the 20 Yuan Background Spot.
●Note: Parking and electric vehicles are charged‼️
Day 3: Fuli Bridge
●The scenery here is beautiful, and if you have enough time, you must go. It is also the starting point of the bamboo rafting wharf.
●Tip: Because we had to hit the road, we played for a while on the third morning and then left. You can arrange bamboo rafting on the third day‼️
【Precautions】
●Yulong River bamboo rafting: Be sure to book in advance, tickets are released promptly at 8 pm every night, and we missed out because we missed it.
●Renting electric motorcycles: It is recommended to rent from the hotel or homestay where you are staying, 30 Yuan/day, ride back directly after use, convenient and affordable.
●Norovirus: I heard that this virus has been quite serious recently, so we didn't eat any raw or cold food. The taste of beer fish is mediocre, but there is a beef rice noodle that is really delicious, economical, and the kids also liked it a lot, we ate there for two consecutive meals.

'Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and Yangshuo's landscape is the best in Guilin.'
Upon arriving in Yangshuo, head straight for the Ten-Mile Gallery.
Indeed, I was shocked by the scenery before my eyes.
Exclaiming at the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
Here it is fully demonstrated.
🗺The scenery here is winding, with rich natural landscapes and human history, and it has also been rated as one of the most beautiful county towns in China.
Recommended tourist spots: Fuli Bridge, Yulong River, Ten-Mile Gallery, Li River, Xingping Ancient Town.
⭐️Fuli Bridge: The bridge is the best place to enjoy the rural scenery. Standing at the head of the bridge, you can see the fields, surrounded by green mountains, green water around the village, the waves of the river dam rolling, the stream gurgling, the fields are well-arranged, the paths are woven, taking pictures with the old cow on the bridge, it is simply a landscape ink painting, very comfortable.
⭐️Yulong River: It is the longest tributary of the Li River in Yangshuo. The entire Yulong River scenic area, without any so-called modern buildings, without any artificial carving traces, without any urban noise, everything is so primitive, natural, simple, pure, it is the largest pure natural landscape garden in the Guilin area.
⭐️Ten-Mile Gallery: This is a circular route, with beautiful scenery along the way, poetic and picturesque, known as the Ten-Mile Gallery of Yangshuo.
⭐️Laozhai Mountain: Opposite to Xianggong Mountain, it is more dangerous here and less developed. You need to hike up to see this Li River scenery.
⭐️Xingping Ancient Town: The background photo spot for 20 yuan RMB, it is more out of the picture to take pictures in the evening, if you want to take pictures on the bamboo raft, you need to charge separately.
⭐️Li River: There are many tourist routes around the Li River. The Li River is a typical karst landform area. The mountains and rivers along the way are like a landscape painting, as if you are in it.
✅Route arrangement:
day1: Xingping Ancient Town-Li River Scenic Area
day2: Fuli Bridge-Ten-Mile Gallery-Yulong River-Laozhai Mountain
Tips:
1⃣You can choose to rent an electric car for fun, which is more convenient.
2⃣It is recommended to book accommodation in advance, it is best to bring your own food.
3⃣We went to many free attractions, these are very good shots.
4⃣For bamboo rafts, it is recommended to choose a small section.
The scenery of Yangshuo is very beautiful, but there are still some details that are a bit lacking.
—Transportation Guide—

🚙: Self-driving navigation to Yangshuo County
🚄: High-speed rail to Yangshuo Station, there are many cars outside to various places.
Flowing rivers, mountains, and paddy fields of Guilin
The region around Guilin is arguably one of the most beautiful of all in this continent-sized country. It is centred around the Li River which snakes through lush green woodland, fertilising the patchwork paddy fields that lie beneath tall, stark karst mountains.
For centuries artists, poets and painters have come to Li River for inspiration and to document the unrivalled natural beauty. The traditional form of Chinese ink painting that are so often seen on scrolls, old and new, are called shanshui – meaning mountain and water. For it is the tall mountains and flowing water that are the subject of traditional paintings and it is here along the Li River that has inspired the most famous of these artworks. This region is so famous for its beauty that it even features on China’s 20 RMB banknote.
The Li River flows past the large city of Guilin and 90 kms later joins the Yulong River at the smaller town of Yangshuo. It is from here that many visitors base themselves for a few days. The Li River is very much the life blood of the region and boats large and small take guests along here. Most choose to take a slow trip following the current on a bamboo raft which are ubiquitous to the region. In evenings, fisherman sail out on small row boats or rafts and use their pet cormorant birds to help them find their catch.

Retired people attraction😂
Really fun for retirees.
The worst thing about this experience was that we had to wait in a long queue. The rafting that we did lasted about 1.5 hours. We were in line at number 302, and we had to wait about 3 hours. I will say right away, it’s better not to wait on the spot, but take a walk somewhere, especially if you rent a scooter.
By the way, there were points where there was a queue of 700+ people.
The rafting itself went well: beautiful views, calm walking of the boat, I wanted to sleep.
I heard from some people conversations that passengers at the end of the journey were asked for money for being photographed or just a tip. We had a very good man who answered questions, was sociable, allowed me to move on a raft and even let me row a little.

Bamboo rafting in Yangshuo ❤️
Bamboo rafting is considered the finest way to see these thousands of karst of little mountain in Yangshuo. ❤️ The sail will take like 45mins ~1 hour depends on the route you chose. I did the Yulong river route.
Paid 160rmb for the bamboo raft ride. I booked it on one of those "pink jackets ladies" in West Street. The payment includes them giving us ride to go to the attraction and wait for us to finish the sail and bring us back home to where we stay.
I heard most of the hotels in Yangshuo can help you book the activity through them.
Definitely this one goes on the book for me. ❤️
I loved it. And I'm glad I did it.
Definitely a MUST TRY! Add it on your itinerary whenever you visit Yangshuo.

Yangshuo Yulong River
The Yulong River is a small tributary of the famous Li River in Yangshuo. After doing our research on the boating experiences on each river we opted for Yulong River. We were not disappointed. The scenary during the bamboo boat tour is stunning.
Getting There🚙🚤🚲 - to get there we joined a small tour group through trip.com. The cost was 160RMB pp including one way transfer from our hotel to the river as well as boating tickets. We booked one way transfers and rented bicycles and cycled back through the ten mile gallery (also a really beautiful experience)
Attractions🗻🛥️ - the Yulong River was really amazing. We arrived early in the morning and the river was so quiet and peaceful. The boat captain's are friendly and feel safe. There wasn't any motorized boats on the river so it was really quite. The boating experiences was about an hour which was enough time to take in all the sights.
Food & Restaurants🍦🍪🍢 - make sure you have a good meal before going. Mostly you can only find snacks, ice creams and cold drinks nearby the river.

Follow the yellow bloom road!
This was at least the fifth time I've been to Yangshuo and every time I see something new. Last year I went during the rainy season, in June, and there was a flood; we had a relaxing day playing cards in the hotel and eating instant noodles. This year we were there at the end of February and it was perfect because the 油菜花 rapeseed flowers were blooming everywhere. Blue skies, green hills, yellow fields. We cycled along the Yulong River to Fuli and it was a perfect day: mild weather, spring blossoms and joyful signs of life everywhere. Yangshuo is always beautiful but this is definitely a good time of year to go, just before the spring rains.

Cycling in Yangshuo🛵, landscapes, paddy fields, small shops, swings🏡, map routes.
I spent 5 delightful days in Yangshuo, exploring the area on a small electric scooter 🛵. I finally managed to figure out the cycling routes 😭, and have compiled a day's itinerary, covering all the fun attractions and quaint shops.
Here's the final route map (sourced online) with specific directions. Do save it, it's truly handy. ☝🏻
Yulong River or Ten-Mile Gallery⁉️
Yulong River offers riverside fun, scenic rice fields, mountain views, and charming little shops. It's quite enjoyable.
The Ten-Mile Gallery has more major attractions like Butterfly Valley and the Big Banyan Tree, but these old sights are rather ordinary. If you have time, feel free to explore.
🗺️Map
Allocate a day for this. The ⭕ red circle marks the cycling area. On the left are footpaths through the rice fields, offering stunning views. On the right are village roads, featuring unique shops and guesthouses. Enter through the entrance of the Yulong River footpath, and follow the route counterclockwise ⬅️. It's just perfect.
🔷Route
Murakami Village → Yulong River Footpath → Rice Field Footpath → Water Dam → Internet-famous Mini Train → Worker and Farmer Bridge → Riverside Swing → Love Country Bakery → Return
✅After visiting one place, simply search for the next spot. The navigation is very accurate.
🔹Murakami Village
A Japanese-style shop, mainly serving coffee ☕ and cake. It gets crowded during afternoon tea time. The food is average, but it's a great spot for photos 📸. No purchase necessary.
🔹Yulong River Footpath
One side of the footpath offers views of rice fields and mountains, while the other side overlooks the beautiful Yulong River with its clear, green water 🦆. You might even spot ducks swimming by.
🔹Water Dam
A section of the footpath where you can play in the water. Some people even drone over the dam.
🔹Worker and Farmer Bridge
A classic sightseeing spot. The expansive water surface is dotted with bamboo rafts 🚣♀️, and the distant mountains make for a spectacular view.
🔹Riverside Swing
📍Location: Anzaiye Guesthouse. Follow the small path to the river, and you'll find the swing. There are two swings, so you might have to queue for photos 📸.
🔹Love Country Bakery
A cute little shop 🏡 run by Koreans 🇰🇷. They serve delicious coffee, have adorable cats 🐱 to pet, and their bread is tasty.
🎈🎈For more fun travel tips, follow my main page. I'm Little K who loves to travel. I have an 8-year-old child, and I love sharing travel routes and discovering local child-friendly spots. ❤❤
✅Tips
1. Renting a car at Yulong River costs 50/day. Don't believe others who say it's 20 or 30, it's not true 🙅🏻♀️.
2. Bucket cars can only be driven in the rice fields. Rent a regular electric scooter 🛵 for the roads.
3. There are many restaurants on the village road, and they're tastier than those on West Street 😋.

✅ The rice fields are perfect for taking photos with a pastoral vibe. Wearing light and solid-colored clothing can help you take fresh and clean-looking pictures.
✅ This place is great for drone aerial photography. The bird's-eye view really makes for some outstanding shots. Choosing good weather for your visit will enhance the experience.
⚠️ Tips: Every grain is the result of hard work, so do not trample or damage the crops when taking photos in the rice fields.
🏍️ About Cycling
The scenic walkway can only be accessed by cycling or walking. It's recommended to rent an electric scooter for convenience in parking and passing other vehicles. Tuk-tuks are not really recommended as they are not very easy to ride. When renting, it's advisable to check the vehicle's condition and battery level. Renting an electric scooter in Yangshuo is very convenient.
🍃 Travel Suggestions
✅ I visited in September, and the weather was really hot, so it's recommended to be well-prepared for sun protection when cycling.
✅ The private kitchen restaurant 'Yi Chun Li' next to the scenic walkway has good food. If you visit during meal times, you might want to try their delicious dishes.
✅ Choosing good weather for your visit is important. During the rainy season, the river water can become muddy, significantly reducing the scenic beauty.
I have returned from Guilin and sincerely recommend everyone to visit Guilin in March or April!!
After coming back from Guilin, my most profound realization is that the distances between scenic spots are quite far, and transportation is inconvenient. You have to take taxis back and forth, which is really inconvenient! (Emphasize this point❗️)
Without some planning, you will still feel a bit lost😭, so spontaneous trips are not suitable for Guilin!!

Join a tour group or travel independently
Guilin's attractions are quite scattered, with many mountains⛰️, and transportation is not very convenient. Independent travel requires complicated planning and risk of mishaps, while joining a tour group gives you freedom of time, peace of mind, especially with the recent drop in temperature, shivering🥶, just get on the bus to start, get off to take photos📸, focusing on comfort is enough, and it's also cost-effective.
So beautiful, the rapeseed flowers at Yulong River, I regret not coming earlier
The best way to make the most of spring is to go see the rapeseed flowers at Yulong River together.

This year, upon closer inspection, I realized that the whole spring in Yangshuo is filled with flowers, reflecting on the waters of Yulong River, exceptionally beautiful.

Spring Encounter with Yulong River: A Guide to Flower Sea Tour
🌲With the arrival of spring, a gust of spring sentiment has adorned the whole country into a brilliant picture. From the apricot blossoms in Yili and Pamir Plateau in the north, to the ink and wash rape flowers in Wuyuan in the east, they show a different style against the backdrop of grey tiles and white walls. Pingba in Guizhou in the south is no less than Japan, with cherry blossoms like clouds, blooming the beauty of spring. And in the small county town of Yangshuo in the south of Guilin, the rape flowers stretching for dozens of miles along the Yulong River add a touch of romance to spring. 🌸🌼
🌳About the Yulong River, many people will ask about which section to play, how to rent a car, how to ride, and where the rape flowers are. Today, I will answer them one by one to give you an idea. There are several sections of the Yulong River:
1. Fuli Bridge to Sanchakou (round trip), 2 km, 40 minutes, 290/raft (4-person raft) 🚣♀️
2. Jinlong Bridge to Old County (one way), 6 km, 90 minutes, 255/raft (2-person raft) 🏞️
3. Yulong Bridge to Xiniu Pond (round trip), 2.5 km, 50 minutes, 145/raft (2-person raft) 🚤
4. Old County to Xiangui Bridge (round trip), 2.5 km, 50 minutes, 145/raft (2-person raft) 🌊
5. Jimah to Gongnong Bridge (one way), 6 km, 90 minutes, 255/raft (2-person raft) 🚴♂️
6. Shui E Di to Gongnong Bridge (one way), 3 km, 50 minutes, 160/raft (2-person raft) 🌿
🌿How to choose? Fuli Bridge to Old County is the middle and upper reaches, with beautiful scenery on both sides, it is a good choice to appreciate the village and rural scenery. And Jimah to Gongnong Bridge is located downstream, with bamboo forests and peaks on both sides, suitable for those who like mountain and water scenery. 🏞️🌅
🚕In terms of car rental and riding, you can choose bicycles, electric donkeys or tricycles. The prices are roughly: bicycle 20 yuan/day, electric donkey 40 yuan/day, tricycle 100 yuan/3 hours. Rental locations extend from Gongnong Bridge Pier to the villages on both sides of Fuli Bridge. The recommended cycling route starts from West Street, passes through Ten Mile Gallery, Gongnong Bridge, Yulong River Scenic Area, Shui E Di Pier, Jimah Pier, Shuangliu Yiduting, Old County, all the way are rape flower fields, it takes half a day. 🚴♀️🌼
⚠️Precautions include: tricycles cannot travel along this route, they can only travel on small roads in the Yulong River Scenic Area, and you need to bear the economic loss if the car is detained. It is recommended to rent a car nearby, go to the bamboo raft pier to buy tickets, if it is the peak season you may need to wait, Yulong River Gongzhonghao will show the queue situation. You can find a car rental point near the bamboo raft pier during the tour, and you can ride a bike during the waiting period. The photo spots are Fuli Bridge, Jinlong Bridge, Yulong Bridge, Shuangliu Yiduting and Gongnong Bridge. 📸🌺

Yangshuo: holiday in Yulong River
The Yulong River, with its dramatic karst landscape, silky water, and ancient bridges, is a great place to visit. 💚
I love this place as for its landscape which is full of sharp karst hills, thick bamboo groves, water buffaloes wandering the fields as for its colorful people: farmers tending the rice paddies, fishermen gliding along on their narrow bamboo rafts, and village women washing clothes beside the river, kids swimming in the water and many many more things which are becoming so rare in China these days…
Come here to spend your holidays. There are lots of things to do and above:
1) do rafting along the river;🛶
2) try local food,everything is absolutely amazing 🍲😋
3) rent a bike and go around this spectacular area,
The Yulong River is part of a classic cycling route in Yangshuo🚲
4) go hiking the small countryside trails which will take you through rice paddies, lush green mountain scenery, and fruit orchards. Will take you two hours of hiking🥾
The best time to visit this place is probably spring or autumn. Summertime is too hot and too rainy🌧️
Coming to Yulong River, you will find yourself on a river channel as green and clear as jade, and you won't want to leave once you're here!
There is a dragon in the East Sea. It traveled here and saw such beautiful scenery that it felt the East Sea paled in comparison, so it hid here and didn't leave. This dragon would surface at night to greedily admire the beautiful scenery, and later couldn't help but sneak out during the day sometimes. Many villagers have seen it, hence the name Yulong River.
Yulong River is the longest tributary of the Li River in Yangshuo, known as the 'Little Li River'. It's not the Li River, but it's better than the Li River.
The mountains on both sides are elegant and winding, with endless ups and downs and thousands of shapes. The river bank is covered with green grass, lush bamboo, and dense trees.
Recommendation for homestays in Yangshuo, Guilin Tourism
Last year I went to Guangxi and visited Guilin, Yangshuo, Beihai, and Weizhou Island. I found many photos when flipping through my album, so I thought I'd make some recommendations. When staying in Yangshuo, of course, you want to stay in a place with good scenery, but places like Alila are a bit expensive, so we chose this one. We booked it on Hazelnut Homestay for less than 500 yuan. Ours was a green theme, and there was also an orange theme. The room even provided clothes for photo shooting~
Take the high-speed train from Guilin Station to Yangshuo Station, then take the bus to Yangshuo County, and the boss will pick you up.
This homestay is located in the Yulong River Scenic Area. You can rent an electric car for transportation or contact the homestay boss to drive you. You can also use Didi taxi, which is quite convenient, but
There are not many restaurants and supermarkets around, so you can bring some food back when you go out.
We went there in June, and for some reason, the lotus flowers in the river didn't bloom. Later, I saw the photos posted by the homestay boss, and the blooming lotus flowers were very beautiful.
Buy a cup of milk tea, lie on the lazy sofa, and I can stay there all day haha enjoying the beautiful scenery.
