Yangshuo · Baisha Town

If the Yulong River is the soul of Yangshuo, then Baisha Town is the quiet depth of that soul. It lacks the hustle and bustle of West Street and isn't as touristy as Xingping, yet it exudes a gentle charm that makes you reluctant to leave. The sun was shining brightly that day, and the clouds floated across the sky like cotton candy. Layers of distant mountains paired with the crystal-clear river created a scene straight out of an ink painting. Walking along the countryside paths of Baisha, I was greeted by vast fields of blooming rapeseed flowers. The vibrant yellow sea of flowers spread out at the foot of the mountains, making me feel like I was in a movie as I strolled along. The pace here is so slow that time seems to stretch, and even the breeze feels exceptionally gentle. I particularly love Baisha because it is tranquil yet never boring. You can rent a bike and ride aimlessly through the fields, or simply sit by the river doing nothing, just watching the interplay of light and shadow on the water. The village still retains many old houses and the authentic lifestyle of the locals. There's no need to seek out "Instagram-worthy spots"—every casual snapshot here is a picturesque scene. This is truly the perfect place to unwind and quietly immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Yangshuo. If you ever visit Yangshuo, don't just stick to the popular attractions. Give Baisha a morning or an afternoon, and it will captivate you with its unpretentious charm and stunning landscapes.
