The Fuli Bridge in Yangshuo is really great for photography (with tips)
There is a poetic ancient bridge over 500 years old at the source of the Yulong River, the Fuli Bridge, a lesser-known and free attraction in Yangshuo. Small bridges and leisurely bamboo rafts passing under the bridge create a scene so beautiful it almost seems unreal!
🌳Attraction Introduction
Fuli Bridge is located 12 kilometers away from Yangshuo County, 500 meters upstream of the Yulong River. It is a single-arch stone bridge, 30 meters long, 5 meters wide, and 10 meters high, built during the Ming Dynasty, with a history of over 500 years. The bridge's aesthetic design and its reflection in the water resemble a full moon.
🚢About the Boat Ride
🎫Ticket Price: The round-trip leisure ride for four from Fuli Bridge Wharf to the San Cha Kou is priced at 358 yuan per raft.
⛵️About the Bamboo Raft: The bamboo rafts at Fuli Bridge Wharf are for four people, not the popular two-person rafts on the internet. They are very suitable for family outings with children, less crowded, and tickets are easier to purchase.
