Elephant trunk hill
The shape of the Elephant trunk hill resembles to an elephant drinking water so it got this name 🐘. This attraction is of amazing natural views and cultural landscape 🏞 which fascinates and attracts the tourists to this place.
The ticket price for entering this attraction is 55 RMB 💴 and I personally feel it is little expensive. This area can cover by 2 to 3 hours ⏰. And from the top you can get a beautiful view of the city.
The other attractions to see inside are Water moon cave, Elephant eye cave, puxian pagoda, Yufeng temple, sanhua wine cellar and Dagoba.

Romance park
When I got little time to kill in Yangshou, I thought of going to Romance park 🧚♂️. It is not as lively as the Hangzhou one that I have been one year back 🚄. But the romance performance inside the park is visual feast to your eyes. Even though the whole program is in Chinese those who doesn't know Chinese can also enjoy the program to the fullest by the visuals. Every time there will be something that makes audience gets a wow feeling. Lots of performers come behind the audience makes the program more interactive.

Ethnic Village
Huangluo Village is worth a visit if you are traveling to Longji rice terrace 🏘. This small village is on the way to the rice terrace field 🏞and you can see lots of tourists cars 🚙 parked near to this village.
This village is located at the bank of Jinjiang river. The women here are with long black hair and most of them have hair as long as height of them. When we enter the village all of them either tied or covered there hair. They have a special show for that we have to pay extra. In that show they show there hair and tell the secrets of there long hair.

Spectacular Li river.
Li river is one of the most famous and important attraction in Guangxi province. Which connects Guilin and Yangshou 🏞. Both the side of the river is beautifully surrounded by the green mountains. The best way to explore this river is by the Cruise 🛳 or by the small rafting boats ⛵️ which feels more adventurous.
Mostly Cruise are little expensive which provides food 🍲🍜🌯 with the package. Mostly people prefer to take Cruise to travel from Guilin to Yangshou in Luxury and it takes around 4 hours of journey. The view from the upper deck of the Cruise is breathtakingly beautiful.

Panoramic Rice Terrace View.
From Yangshou you have to travel around 1 and half hours by car to reach this picturesque Longji rice terrace 🚕. The cheapest way to travel here is by the tourist bus 🚌 but it takes almost more than 2 hours.
On the way to the terrace you can explore a beautiful village 🏘. The best way to go to the top of the terrace is by Cable car 🚠 which costs 60 RMB one way and 100 RMB two ways.
But I prefer to walk down the hill while coming back because you can enjoy the more beautiful closest view and also walking down is not so difficult.

Zhenmei rooftop ❤️
Address: Zhenmei Resort Chain hotel
No. 123 West Street, Yangshuo
(33. 78 km from Yangshuo Railway station, approximately 46mins drive by car)
This particular hotel offers a stunning rooftop/roof deck. It's actually the money spot of the hotel, as it attracts a lot of tourists to check in and experience the deck overlooking the whole West Street, with the Yangshuo karsts as your background. ❤️
The rooftop has a swimming pool, and an invincible kayak (transparent) that you can use for free. A huge wooden wreath on the corner, a big teddy bear lying down on a colorful carpet with all those pillows that you can use when you want to just chill out. A round invincible swing (transparent), a mirror platform, guitars, table and chairs, a wooden compass, and a lot more decorative stuffs. Truly a very Instagramable location.
Surely your phones and cameras will be busy capturing every bit of it.
The rooftop is accessible for hotel guests only.

Jima Village ❤️
This picturesque village of Jima is just 3km outside the Yangshuo town center. You can rent a bike, or an electric trike/scooter and just drive up to the village. This small village is surrounded by these beautiful and magnificent karst of mountains, (I tried counting them, can't do. They are so many... 😂) caves, streams, running rivers, and those breathtaking natural scenery. That dried field with the dragon in the middle attracts a lot of tourists to take selfies.
Quiet. Serene. Amazing scenery.
I bet your cameras will be busy capturing each and every corner of the village.
And the best part is, it's all for FREE! No entrance fee to witness the beauty of the scenery.

West Street: Day & Night ❤️
West Street is a vibrant place indeed.
A commercial place in the middle of Yangshuo town that houses tens of hotels and travel inns. Souvenir shops and a bunch of restaurants that offers local cuisine. And fast food chains. And shopping gallery!
This particular street is real solemn and quiet in the morning up to noon time. The street is dead in daytime. Most of the shops are closed in daytime. Starbucks and other coffee shops are open in daytime. 😁 Too quiet. But good time to take photo of the scenery. Don't go; I repeat, don't go on daytime to visit. Unless your hotel sits on it, then its OK you here.
But if you staying from other parts of Yangshuo and planning to visit the West Street, then go around 4 or 5pm onwards. Night time. The story flips here in West Street. Very alive. Colorful. Noisy. As the people flocks in, you will see the whole nine yards of shops and restaurants, all opened up. Calling you to come in.
Nevertheless, West Street is a very inviting place for tourist/travellers.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended

Romance Park
When I got little time to kill in Yangshou, I thought of going to Romance park 🧚♂️. It was not as lively as the Hangzhou one that I have been one year back 🚄. But shops inside the park felt cute and creative 🎨. In the crystal shop you can experience live making of crystal decors .
I personally feel you can visit the park if you never been watched any songcheng performance before. The romantic show of Guilin has 5 parts which shows the historical culture and national customs of Guilin. The performance is marvelous.

Sunrise at Yangshuo's Moon Hill
Named after its moon-shaped hole, Moon Hill is one of the highlights of Yangshuo’s countryside. Moon Hill is one of Yangshuo’s icons, a huge piece of rock with a moon-shaped hole in its center.
I arrived way too early (5:30am), but the friendly security guy already let me inside and I climbed the mountain before the sunrise. 🌅 On top I had a beautiful view on the villages in the rising sun. It's not too difficult, if you're fast you can make it in 30+ minutes. The hill is about 380m high, high enough for a great view.
📍Moon Hill, Yangshuo
🎫 Ticket is around 30 RMB

Li River Boat Ride in Yangshuo
If I had to show a visitor or my family only one place in China, it probably would be Guilin with Yangshuo... and probably we would do a river cruise on the Li river. The Li River cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo is THE highlight Yangshuo. Gorgeous karst peaks, blue sky, warm breeze, so nice.
📍 There are various starting points and options. In general, you can choose from big boat 🚢, small boat ⛵ and simple wood made floating boats 🚣. We chose the last.
🎫 Prices start from cheap short tours (~80RMB) to expensive luxury boat rides (~1000RMB). Pick what suits you more... Adventure or relaxing?

Lovely Daxu Village in Yangshuo
Daxu Old Town (大圩古镇) is a small and not renovated Village north of Yangshuo. As soon as you enter the streets of this village, you feel like in another time. There is not too much business on the street and you can get a glimpse into people daily life.
Some coffés, restaurants and daily life shops are there, so you can enjoy a break and plan your next stop on the rooftop of one of the small coffés. ☕🍜
📍 Daxu Village is reachable by bus from Yangshuo and Guilin. Scooter is also possible. 🚕 🛵 🚌
🎫 As it's not a very touristic place, there is not entrance fee.

Swimming in the Li river
The Li River in Guangxi Province is one of the most spectacular and popular destinations in China. Spanning roughly 80 kilometers, the Li River runs through the heart of Guangxi, connecting downtown Guilin with the riverside town of Yangshuo.
Most people take a boat ⛵ cruise on the river, but you can also rent a scooter 🛵 and explore the area. I talked to some locals who go there for swimming every day and joined them. The water is safe, very clean, clear and warm! Super relaxing! Once it even rained, but it was still so warm...
🛵 💰 About 40-80 RMB per scooter per day, better choose a good one with a far reaching battery.
🏞️ Enjoy the nature!

Cave Hike @ Yangshuo
Address: Shili Gallery, Licun Village, Gaotian Town, Yangshuo County, Guilin city
Entrance fee: 100 rmb per person
I like how they do the tour inside the cave. They do it by group. Approximately 15 people at a time to go inside the cave. It's best that it's not crowded and safer I guess. It's a about 1 hour and half tour inside. Walking, docking, no running.
Welcoming the tourist infront of the cave are these animal skulls standing right there infront of you. Some find it odd, I see it intriguing. 👍
So, before you enter you have to ring the bells infront, cost you extra 10rmb to do that, hehe. You can pay cash, or scan the QR Code.
Inside the cave are steep passages, different rock formations, illuminated stalactites, a mud pond where you can splurge up on it. Rafting on a clear water inside cave is also offered in the attraction. That spiral staircase got me sooooo dizzy. You have to go through with it in order to get to the next phase of the cave. It's about 30-35 feet tall, quite scary actually.
Souvenir stalls at the end of the cave ate obstructing the way out, that part I didn't like. It's like you got no choice but to buy hahah, which I did 😂😂😂. 10 bead bracelets for memory. ❤️
In total, I had a good time in it. Tiring, but fun. 😍

Yangshuo plate ❤️
Where to find it: it's the central restaurant (only real restaurant because mostly are just food stalls) at the back of Mc Donald's in West Street
Cuisine: Chinese
Affordability: food ranges from 38rmb - 78rmb
From eating on the same restaurant for 4 days censecutively, these are my favorites on their menu.:
In demand meal as of the moment (since its winter), the infamous GUILIN RICE NOODLES!
that hot and rich broth, very strong aroma, the noodles are "aldente", perfect boiled egg on top of it = heaven!!! 😍😍😍
Thin slices of crispy Pork, seasoned very well. It goes perfectly with spicy vinegar and just a bowl of plain rice or better yet, a yang chow (fried rice).
❤️
My next fave was the eggplant sautéed on oyster sauce. I just love how they cook it. Not too soggy eggplant, just perfect. ❤️
That perfect mix of sweet and sour pork. ❤️
Of course, don't forget that stir fry egg with shrimp! All time favorite! ❤️
Try 'em! I'm sure you gonna like it. 👌

Moon Hill 🌙
Short trike ride from Yangshuo town, approximately 5 miles, there lies this magnificent natural beauty called MOON HILL. Its a limestone peak that is so visible even of you are 5km away. It is considered one of the highlights of Yangshuo country side.
From the hundreds of karsts of mountain surrounding Yangshuo, this one is the most recognizable. A moon-shape hole, naturally curved.
There's a trail going up the hill called "Nixon trail", named after the former US President Richard Nixon. As he and his wife climbed the hill in 1972 according to history.
There is an entrance fee of 60rmb.
The facade is really nice for a lot of couples did their pre-nuptials photos at the bottom of the hill, and the Moon Hill as their background.

Hot air balloon 😩😁🙄
What can I say? Hahahha we didn't try the ride, why? We both too scared. Hahahah!
Of all the activities we did while we here in Yangshuo, this is the one that both of us utter at the same time - - - PASS! 😂😂😂
So we just took out our cellphones and took shots and selfies, coz never in our dreams we would want to take that leap of faith... Hahahha
I'm sorry we just can't. 👎
But if you got the brave mess to hop into it, go...
I will be applauding you. Good job! 👌
