Cuiping Hills (also known as Wuzhi hills) is a highly underrated location. Its in Putao town which is about 25km from Yangshuo (It took us 50 mins by electric bike on a rainy day). Xiangong and Laozhai mountains are more popular and full of crowds, and are often annoying because of the huge number of people. However, Cuiping hills have equally amazing views and very few people on this hike. You’ll feel totally amidst nature and its glory, and most importantly away from hundreds of onlookers pushing each other to take pics. There are nicely cut rock steps which makes the hike easy and the entire hike up the mountains take 15 mins only. Would highly recommend this if you are in Yangshuo. #guilintravel #yangshuo #mountainview

In the early spring of March, you can swim in the Lijiang River. Feel the psychedelic landscape smoke and rain. The Yangshuo is a bit psychedelic and a bit cold. morning made a fan in three thousand ,, seemingly ordinary fan to go through 12 procedures, silking, veneering, trimming, wrapping... really not simple, see the fan slowly Forming, the heart is filled with a sense of accomplishment, you can also make a creation on the fan, draw your favorite pattern. In the afternoon, I will go to the Lijiang River. It takes only 10 minutes to drive from Sanqian. This is a 20 yuan RMB scene. The clouds are haunting, and the mountains near and far are in different shades. On a rainy day, you can see the Lijiang River. There is a flavor in the scenery. You can then walk to Xingping Ancient Town, take a leisurely stroll around the alleys of the ancient city, and buy some specialty products by the way, recommend loose sugar and dried Guilin rice noodles... tips

Four seasons of flowers, living in the clouds in the last night of Yangshuo, chose this four seasons Yunqi Hotel, convenient location, quiet and comfortable, service intimate, very worthy of recommendation, praise to my friends Come here to run an idyllic wedding.

Yangshuo was one of the best #chinatrips I have ever been on. Nature out there is wild. An absolute MUST DO if in China! Fly into Guilin, spend one day/night in the city and then get yourself to Yangshuo for the unforgettable sights! Use a local tour guide (#supportsmallbusiness) and enjoy the views from your scooter! #urbanexplorer#leaveyourmark

20 kilometres southeast of Guilin lies a tranquil little ancient town: Daxu. It sits on the bank of the Li River, and it’s main alley stretches to at least 2.5km long. Along the stretch of the Main Street is a stunning array of historic architecture, including this stunning carving of a dragon wrapping itself round a pillar of the Longevity Temple.⠀ The main street of Daxu Ancient Town runs parallel to the river, and is lined with bright red lanterns and tables filled with little trinkets, second hand antiques, colourful handmade clothes and local treats!⠀ ⠀ Walk further down and you’ll witness local life at its finest: chickens roaming free, the elderly reclining as they watch tv and parents cooking hearty homestyle meals for their children. 📍Daxu Ancient Town, China⠀ #leaveyourmark

As mostly when we do the travel, it is like a protocol that we stay in a hotel and go to touristy places. But this time we decided to turn a stranger to a friend; yea I'm talking about homestay. This house we contacted through a mutual friend and they are more than glad to have us in their house. So we had a warm stay in Guilin village, with lunch & dinner from freshly caught pond fish and other yummies. We had two relaxed days at their place and later on third day went to have a look in the city; also went to the famous elephant nose hill with lot of elephants playing around there 😋 (ofcourse dummies they are). So next time, try something different like a home stay and relax !! #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#lightthecity

With the digitization and online payment taking over all of China, there's hardly a need to use the bank notes. But have you ever looked at the back of 20 yuan bank note and wondered where is this paradise on Earth ?! Yes, here it is; taken at the Yangtze river with all those volcano-like mountains surrounding them. Yes the first time when I visited Guilin these little mounts popped up all over here look like a dormant volcano 🌋 But thankfully they aren't. On day 1 we arrived at Guilin and after an amazing breakfast went over to see this natural beauty in the bamboo rafting. With less water and force, it was really soothing to have a look around these mountains. And then we went on for a little cycling around the farms there. Later went for a relaxed dinner in the very famous West street, where the variety of food and restaurants are immense. On day 2, we took the cruise ship that'll take you around 5 hours amidst these little mounts and you can get to see the 20 rupees backside picture in here. Don't forget to take one with you haha. In the evening, we went to one of the best opera in China Liu San Jie show, where nearly 500 artists perform in the Yangtze river. The memories are still fresh, that's one of the best live performances I have ever seen. Day 3, went to the nearby village where they're locals and get to know about their tradition, food and even the song & dance. This maybe bit secluded, but it's easily findable as well. Don't miss to eat the famous Beer fish in Guilin haha, yes it's cooked in beer and it has quite a flavor. It will be a trip to remember forever !! #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer #guilintravel #chinaexplore #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#lightthecity

Karst Peak Paradise. From rafting down the Li River to hiking karst hills, Guilin is a great mix of city and nature. In just three days, I was able to witness the beauty of the karst hills in Guilin, marvel at the underground caves featuring huge stalactites and stalagmite formations in the Reed Flute Cave, hike up Diecai Hill for a magnificent view of the city against the multitude of peaks, as well as browse a local market and walk around Elephant Trunk Hill. There’s so much for explore here, and would certainly be worth another trip to uncover even more gems this city has to offer. #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel
