Yangshuo Escape: 2 Days Among Karst Peaks Here’s my 2-day Yangshuo blast 🏞️🦙: karst mountains, river walks, lantern-lit streets, and China’s most stunning outdoor show! 📍Day 1: Wake up to killer mountain views - make sure you book a room facing the karst peaks for sunrise selfies. Hop a taxi to Ruyi Peak Cableway Scenic Area (Peak Ruyi Scenic Spot, Gaotian Town, Yangshuo, 08:30–17:00, ¥208). Grab the cable car for ride up and soak in super Instagrammable panoramas. Next, slide over to Gongnong Bridge for a riverside stroll; rural life and flower fields are a vibe here. Don’t miss the local alpaca farm - random but awesome! At sunset, get tickets for Impression Sanjie Liu, the open-air Li River show. The scenery? Incredible! 📍Day 2: Walk upstream from Gongnong Bridge along the "10 Mile Gallery." This 10km riverside route is pure nature porn - clouds, mountains, ponds, river. If you’re tired, jump on a bamboo raft at one of the stations and go back. Afterwards, taxi out to Xingping Ancient Town. Do the iconic motorized raft ride past the landscape that inspired the 10-yuan bill. Wrap up in bustling Yangshuo West Street. Hang with locals, eat legendary beer fish, and watch lanterns light up the night. 🚕Getting Around: Taxis are quick and cheap. 🍽️Food: Try beer fish, Guilin noodles, and local snacks on West Street. 🌤️Weather: Spring (March-May) is perfect for walks, but may be cloudy! 💰Money: Most places take Alipay/WeChat Pay. Carry some cash for raft rides and street eats. #YangshuoViews #ChinaOutdoor #LiRiverShow #TripcomTravel #NatureBliss
