Breathtakingly beautiful - Yangshuo
Breathtakingly beautiful

At the end of the trip down the river Li we came upon Yangshuo. It is a small town that has long been a haven for backpackers. . It is infact only 65km from Guilan and if I were ever to come to this area again this is where I would head....as it has as much to offer in scenery and is smaller and less expensive.

This little town was bustling from dawn to dusk . The old market was fun and stayed open until late. You could easily walk around everywhere you wanted to go.
