Yangshuo | 3 Days 2 Nights Travel Itinerary, The Ultimate Pitfall-Avoidance Guide
| 3 Days 2 Nights Travel Itinerary, The Ultimate Pitfall-Avoidance Guide. Traveling with kids and dogs in Yangshuo, where every step is a scene, and it's picturesque like a scroll‼️ Although mom had a little fall while cycling, luckily we didn't fall into any traps, no queuing, no traffic jams, and we had a happy 3 days and 2 nights. Here comes the travel guide
Day 1: The most beautiful Yulong River cycling
●Route: Depart from the hotel👉Ten-Mile Gallery👉Gongnong Bridge👉Yulong River Trail (navigation)👉Yulong River Dam👉Yangshuo check-in point at the end of West Street. Enjoy delicious food on West Street in the evening.
●No entrance fee for the whole journey, few people and beautiful scenery‼️
●Tips: West Street is similar to most ancient town streets in the country, heavily commercialized, and not worth strolling around. Better to take more photos by the water
Day 2: Xianggong Mountain👉Xingping Wharf👉20 Yuan Background Spot👉Xingping Ancient Town
●Xianggong Mountain: Take a boat from the wharf of Xingping Ancient Town to the opposite shore, the boat fare is 10 Yuan/person, it is recommended not to skimp. After landing, take a chartered car to Xianggong Mountain, 150 Yuan/person, including the entrance ticket of 60 Yuan, which can take you directly to the entrance. The viewing platform of Xianggong Mountain offers the most beautiful scenery of Yangshuo, which is definitely worth a visit
●20 Yuan Background Spot: I have a detailed introduction in my previous note, everyone be careful not to be fooled to other places.
●Xingping Ancient Town: Personally, I think it lacks distinctive features, you can choose whether to go according to your preferences, not far from the 20 Yuan Background Spot.
●Note: Parking and electric vehicles are charged‼️
Day 3: Fuli Bridge
●The scenery here is beautiful, and if you have enough time, you must go. It is also the starting point of the bamboo rafting wharf.
●Tip: Because we had to hit the road, we played for a while on the third morning and then left. You can arrange bamboo rafting on the third day‼️
【Precautions】
●Yulong River bamboo rafting: Be sure to book in advance, tickets are released promptly at 8 pm every night, and we missed out because we missed it.
●Renting electric motorcycles: It is recommended to rent from the hotel or homestay where you are staying, 30 Yuan/day, ride back directly after use, convenient and affordable.
●Norovirus: I heard that this virus has been quite serious recently, so we didn't eat any raw or cold food. The taste of beer fish is mediocre, but there is a beef rice noodle that is really delicious, economical, and the kids also liked it a lot, we ate there for two consecutive meals.

CHARLES HUBBARD
I've been to Yangshuo 10 times and carefully organized a 2-day and 1-night travel guide
'Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and Yangshuo's landscape is the best in Guilin.'
Upon arriving in Yangshuo, head straight for the Ten-Mile Gallery.
Indeed, I was shocked by the scenery before my eyes.
Exclaiming at the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
Here it is fully demonstrated.
🗺The scenery here is winding, with rich natural landscapes and human history, and it has also been rated as one of the most beautiful county towns in China.
Recommended tourist spots: Fuli Bridge, Yulong River, Ten-Mile Gallery, Li River, Xingping Ancient Town.
⭐️Fuli Bridge: The bridge is the best place to enjoy the rural scenery. Standing at the head of the bridge, you can see the fields, surrounded by green mountains, green water around the village, the waves of the river dam rolling, the stream gurgling, the fields are well-arranged, the paths are woven, taking pictures with the old cow on the bridge, it is simply a landscape ink painting, very comfortable.
⭐️Yulong River: It is the longest tributary of the Li River in Yangshuo. The entire Yulong River scenic area, without any so-called modern buildings, without any artificial carving traces, without any urban noise, everything is so primitive, natural, simple, pure, it is the largest pure natural landscape garden in the Guilin area.
⭐️Ten-Mile Gallery: This is a circular route, with beautiful scenery along the way, poetic and picturesque, known as the Ten-Mile Gallery of Yangshuo.
⭐️Laozhai Mountain: Opposite to Xianggong Mountain, it is more dangerous here and less developed. You need to hike up to see this Li River scenery.
⭐️Xingping Ancient Town: The background photo spot for 20 yuan RMB, it is more out of the picture to take pictures in the evening, if you want to take pictures on the bamboo raft, you need to charge separately.
⭐️Li River: There are many tourist routes around the Li River. The Li River is a typical karst landform area. The mountains and rivers along the way are like a landscape painting, as if you are in it.
✅Route arrangement:
day1: Xingping Ancient Town-Li River Scenic Area
day2: Fuli Bridge-Ten-Mile Gallery-Yulong River-Laozhai Mountain
Tips:
1⃣You can choose to rent an electric car for fun, which is more convenient.
2⃣It is recommended to book accommodation in advance, it is best to bring your own food.
3⃣We went to many free attractions, these are very good shots.
4⃣For bamboo rafts, it is recommended to choose a small section.
The scenery of Yangshuo is very beautiful, but there are still some details that are a bit lacking.
—Transportation Guide—
📍: Locate Yangshuo County or Ten-Mile Gallery
🚙: Self-driving navigation to Yangshuo County
🚄: High-speed rail to Yangshuo Station, there are many cars outside to various places.

Flowing rivers, mountains, and paddy fields of Guilin
The region around Guilin is arguably one of the most beautiful of all in this continent-sized country. It is centred around the Li River which snakes through lush green woodland, fertilising the patchwork paddy fields that lie beneath tall, stark karst mountains.
For centuries artists, poets and painters have come to Li River for inspiration and to document the unrivalled natural beauty. The traditional form of Chinese ink painting that are so often seen on scrolls, old and new, are called shanshui – meaning mountain and water. For it is the tall mountains and flowing water that are the subject of traditional paintings and it is here along the Li River that has inspired the most famous of these artworks. This region is so famous for its beauty that it even features on China’s 20 RMB banknote.
The Li River flows past the large city of Guilin and 90 kms later joins the Yulong River at the smaller town of Yangshuo. It is from here that many visitors base themselves for a few days. The Li River is very much the life blood of the region and boats large and small take guests along here. Most choose to take a slow trip following the current on a bamboo raft which are ubiquitous to the region. In evenings, fisherman sail out on small row boats or rafts and use their pet cormorant birds to help them find their catch.

Spark of Nature
Retired people attraction😂
Really fun for retirees.
The worst thing about this experience was that we had to wait in a long queue. The rafting that we did lasted about 1.5 hours. We were in line at number 302, and we had to wait about 3 hours. I will say right away, it’s better not to wait on the spot, but take a walk somewhere, especially if you rent a scooter.
By the way, there were points where there was a queue of 700+ people.
The rafting itself went well: beautiful views, calm walking of the boat, I wanted to sleep.
I heard from some people conversations that passengers at the end of the journey were asked for money for being photographed or just a tip. We had a very good man who answered questions, was sociable, allowed me to move on a raft and even let me row a little.

Bamboo rafting in Yangshuo ❤️
Bamboo rafting is considered the finest way to see these thousands of karst of little mountain in Yangshuo. ❤️ The sail will take like 45mins ~1 hour depends on the route you chose. I did the Yulong river route.
Paid 160rmb for the bamboo raft ride. I booked it on one of those "pink jackets ladies" in West Street. The payment includes them giving us ride to go to the attraction and wait for us to finish the sail and bring us back home to where we stay.
I heard most of the hotels in Yangshuo can help you book the activity through them.
Definitely this one goes on the book for me. ❤️
I loved it. And I'm glad I did it.
Definitely a MUST TRY! Add it on your itinerary whenever you visit Yangshuo.

Yangshuo Yulong River
The Yulong River is a small tributary of the famous Li River in Yangshuo. After doing our research on the boating experiences on each river we opted for Yulong River. We were not disappointed. The scenary during the bamboo boat tour is stunning.
Getting There🚙🚤🚲 - to get there we joined a small tour group through trip.com. The cost was 160RMB pp including one way transfer from our hotel to the river as well as boating tickets. We booked one way transfers and rented bicycles and cycled back through the ten mile gallery (also a really beautiful experience)
Attractions🗻🛥️ - the Yulong River was really amazing. We arrived early in the morning and the river was so quiet and peaceful. The boat captain's are friendly and feel safe. There wasn't any motorized boats on the river so it was really quite. The boating experiences was about an hour which was enough time to take in all the sights.
Food & Restaurants🍦🍪🍢 - make sure you have a good meal before going. Mostly you can only find snacks, ice creams and cold drinks nearby the river.

Follow the yellow bloom road!
This was at least the fifth time I've been to Yangshuo and every time I see something new. Last year I went during the rainy season, in June, and there was a flood; we had a relaxing day playing cards in the hotel and eating instant noodles. This year we were there at the end of February and it was perfect because the 油菜花 rapeseed flowers were blooming everywhere. Blue skies, green hills, yellow fields. We cycled along the Yulong River to Fuli and it was a perfect day: mild weather, spring blossoms and joyful signs of life everywhere. Yangshuo is always beautiful but this is definitely a good time of year to go, just before the spring rains.

Unimaginable! The beauty of Guilin's tourist attractions can actually make you lose track of time!
🌆Guilin's landscape is unparalleled in the world, People's Park, the night view is as beautiful as a painting. For first-time visitors, the sightseeing tower is a must-visit, where you can get a panoramic view of Guilin from above.

Travel Tips
1️⃣The attractions in Guilin city are relatively concentrated and can be visited consecutively. You can climb Elephant Trunk Hill, but you need to buy an additional ticket.
2️⃣Elephant Trunk Hill is very crowded, especially during holidays, and it may be hard to find a good spot for photos. If possible, try to go early.
3️⃣Pedestrian Street, Dongxi Lane, and Two Rivers and Four Lakes are better visited at night.
4️⃣There is also Reed Flute Cave nearby for viewing karst caves, but it is somewhat similar to Silver Cave, so you can choose one to visit.

Guilin is the best under heaven.
My long-awaited trip to Guilin is about to begin, and I will once again appreciate the beautiful rivers and mountains of my motherland. Graduation is imminent, and choosing such a trip is not only a perfect farewell to my years of study, but also a beautiful vision for future life.
Our destination is Guilin, a beautiful city surrounded by mountains and rivers. The first stop is Yangshuo, an ancient and modern town, like a gem inlaid between mountains and rivers. Guilin is the background of this gem, with picturesque peaks and rivers like silk ribbons.
We came to Xingping Ancient Town, as if time had flowed back hundreds of years. The antique buildings, bluestone streets, and winding alleys are all full of historical charm. Those quiet and elegant little houses, exuding a faint woody and floral fragrance, seem to be telling ancient stories.
Next is the bamboo raft trip on the Yulong River. Sitting on a bamboo raft, gently rippling in the clear river, the surrounding mountains are reflected in the water, like a flowing landscape painting. We moved along the river, feeling the tranquility and beauty of nature. The breeze brushed our faces, taking away the fatigue and troubles of the day, leaving only the tranquility and joy in our hearts.
The sun shines on the river, sparkling, and the mountains on both sides of the river are like scenery in a painting. At this moment, it seems that all the hustle and bustle has gone away, leaving only us and this beautiful natural scenery. This is the life I want, simple and quiet.
This trip to Guilin made me feel the beauty and harmony of nature. Every scenery makes me linger, and every experience makes me excited. Looking back at this beautiful city and this clear river before leaving, I can't help but feel emotional. This trip made me understand: in a busy life, you should also give yourself a chance to slow down and appreciate the beauty and joy in life. Thank you for the unforgettable memories of this trip to Guilin. May we all cherish the good times in front of us and bravely pursue our dreams and happiness.

Three days and two nights tour in Guilin Yangshuo, 2000 yuan per person, enjoy the landscape and experience drifting
If you want to see the landscape, Guilin Yangshuo is definitely a place you must visit. The expenses here are not high. I spent three days and two nights here, and it only cost 2000 yuan per person. The schedule was not rushed, and I saw and did everything I wanted. I started from Chongqing and took a high-speed train directly to Yangshuo. Upon arrival, I had a local specialty meal for lunch. We chose to stay at a hotel by the Yulong River. After settling in, we rented a small electric scooter and rode along the Yulong River. The scenery along the way was beautiful, and we could stop anytime to take photos. Before it got dark, we visited the Ten-Mile Gallery and the Big Banyan Tree. There were hot air balloons and paragliding there, which you can try if you're interested. That night, we randomly picked a restaurant nearby to taste Guilin rice noodles, and it was indeed quite good.
The next morning, we went to Yulong River for bamboo rafting. If you come in summer like us, make sure to come early in the morning, or it will be extremely hot. Be sure to book in advance. There are many places for rafting on the Yulong River, and we chose the Jima Pier. The whole rafting took more than an hour, which is longer than other piers, and the scenery along the way was beautiful. At noon, we found a café, and every corner was unbelievably beautiful. We ran wildly in the rice fields and drank coffee in the landscape painting. At this moment, I couldn't help but sigh, isn't this life? In the afternoon, we rented a car to Xianggong Mountain and saw the whole view of Yangshuo, like a beautiful landscape painting. In the evening, the driver took us to a local restaurant that the locals love. The taste was different from what we had on the first day in Yangshuo. After dinner, we went for a night tour on the Yulong River and saw a different Yangshuo from the boat.
On the third day, we took the high-speed train back home. Guilin Yangshuo is really worth visiting!

Yangshuo: Your Next Scenic Escape
#summerdestinations
Nestled in the heart of Guangxi Province, Yangshuo offers travelers a breathtaking blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. The region is renowned for its striking karst mountain landscape, best experienced on a bamboo raft along the serene Li River, one of our favorite activities there! As you glide down the river, you'll witness the ethereal beauty of mist covered peaks and quaint fishing villages, creating a scene straight out of a traditional Chinese painting.
For those who prefer land adventures, cycling through the countryside is a must. Rent a bike and explore the lush, green rice paddies and ancient stone bridges. The Yulong River area is particularly popular for this, providing an idyllic backdrop for a leisurely ride.
Don't miss the chance to visit Moon Hill, a natural limestone arch with a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. The hike up can be steep, but the reward is well worth the effort.
In #yangshuo, the local cuisine is a delight. Sample traditional dishes such as Beer Fish, made with fresh catch from the Li River, or indulge in a hearty bowl of Guilin Rice Noodles. The bustling West Street is the place to be for foodies, offering a variety of local and international restaurants, as well as lively bars and shops.
For a truly immersive experience, consider staying in one of the many boutique guesthouses or eco-lodges scattered throughout the area. These accommodations often provide guided tours and activities, allowing you to dive deeper into the local culture and natural wonders. We stayed at the beautiful #Teacozyhotel, a wonderful hotel with the best staff you could ask for.
Lastly, be respectful of the local environment and customs; Yangshuo's charm lies in its unspoiled nature and rich traditions.
Yangshuo is more than just a destination; it’s an experience that engages all your senses. Whether you're drifting along its rivers, hiking its mountains, or savoring its cuisine, Yangshuo promises an unforgettable journey.
This was one of our favorite places to visit in #china and we can’t wait to go back to this wonderful country and explore more! It’s truly a dream summer destination.

Yulong River in Yangshuo 'JK Cycling Photo Check-in Spot Recommendation'

Because the hotel is inside the Yulong River, my friends and I had plenty of time to wander around nearby, stopping here and there, so beautiful😭 so photogenic🤗 so happy!!😆😆
----
⛱️ Starting from 'One Foot Rice Field Coffee' One Foot Rice Field Coffee
Absolutely stunning, a vast expanse of lush rice fields, left so many photos here, all big scenes, the phone really can't capture the beauty of this place.
🥤 'Yu Shan Coffee'
Sat here for a long time, compared to the neighboring One Foot Rice Field, there were much fewer people, highly recommend also coming here to see. So comfortable, just sit down.
In the distance, farmers are working hard, and unnamed birds are circling in the sky.
☕ 'Spring Tree Coffee on the Tree' Murakami Village Tree (Aishanmen Store)
After arriving here, I found it to be a very small cabin, of course, the interior decoration is very interesting, but it's not very photogenic.
🚶🏻♀️🚶🏻♂️ 'Yulong River Trail' Yulong River Scenic Area
Don't know which entrance we took to the trail, along the way only saw countless open rice fields, continuous green mountains, and further in you can see the Yulong River and travelers on bamboo rafts haha. Blue sky, white clouds, green water.
PS: Only now did I realize that the entrance we reached is ⛳️Jimah Wharf, saw the tracks, but didn't see the little train, a vast sea of flowers is very beautiful😭😭.
🌇 'Old County Wharf·Dashizhai' Sunset Old County Wharf-Pavilion
As beautiful as the picture🥹 luckily took photos.
🕍 'Yulong River Castle' Guilin Yangshuo Yulong River Castle (Yulong River Songcheng Qian Guqing Store)
The accommodation we chose this time was also great, whether it was the room, the photos, or the service, the balcony and the rooftop pool were very photogenic, left many satisfying photos, thumbs up to the receptionist, who planned the Yulong River cycling route for us.

Off-peak travel | A 2-day, 1-night trip to lesser-known spots in Guilin blew up with questions
The scenery in Guilin really shocked me
The karst topography is just too amazing
Little hills can be seen everywhere on the road
Driving through felt like entering a vast mountain range, very healing-
-
⏰ The next three months of June, July, and August are the best time to visit Guilin. I've been to Guilin before and visited all the classic spots. This time I specifically went to some lesser-known places and successfully avoided most of the crowds during the peak season.

🗺️ Recommended 2-day, 1-night Guilin itinerary
D1: Qifeng Village➡️ Dabie Mountains➡️ Zhuangyuan Bridge➡️ Yongfu Sinkhole➡️ Stay at a homestay near Yulong River➡️ West Street
D2: Homestay➡️ Mandarin Duck Cave➡️ Chaotian Rock
-
✅ Qifeng Village
🧭 Navigation: Entrance of Dongshan Village (bus station)
It's a hill behind the village, with wild paths trodden by people. It takes about 20 minutes to climb up, and it's a great place to watch the sunrise. I was also lucky to capture the Tyndall effect here.
-
✅ Dabie Mountains
Stopped here suddenly during a self-drive trip. The lonely tree combined with the mountain backdrop has an animated beauty.
-
✅ Zhuangyuan Bridge
Zhuangyuan Bridge is a great place to take photos with the vast Guilin mountains. You can stand on the bridge to take pictures, or cross the bridge and stand on the grass.
-
✅ Yongfu Sinkhole Ticket🎫: 50
The innermost part is a unique sinkhole formed under the Guilin karst topography. The scenic area is well-developed, with stairs leading all the way down. There are also many stalactites to see along the way.
You can use a wide-angle lens to take a photo of the sinkhole and people from below.
-
✅ Yulong River Scenic Area
Stay at a homestay near the Yulong River Scenic Area in the evening. It feels really special to live inside the vast mountains, and I watched a sunset that belonged to the karst landscape here.
-
✅ Mandarin Duck Cave
Navigation: Xiningge Inn
Near the homestay, it's a cave entrance that only locals go to. Because it connects two caves, locals call it Mandarin Duck Cave. Follow the path behind the inn up the hill, and you'll reach it in 15 minutes. You can take photos with the vast mountains.
-
✅ Chaotian Rock
🧭 Navigation: Chaotian Rock
It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the parking area. The cave is very slippery, and it's a very large sinkhole. At noon, the light can shine directly into the cave entrance and form the Tyndall effect.
-
🌟 After visiting Guilin again, I still marvel at the unsurpassed beauty of Guilin's landscape. Every place is so beautiful, and the unique karst topography makes this land filled with difference.
