Say that people who've been to Yangshuo is addictive, after coming back from Yangshuo really experienced this feeling: fresh air, and nature close at hand, convenient and comfortable life, a gentle villagers, exotic bars, European and American popular culture , romantic and warm atmosphere, and the petty bourgeoisie are available to vent the feelings of a beautiful rich scenery, where you will find a good time, too slow. Back in Shanghai, close to everything has changed, feeling could not get there is always an impulse and then fly back to FB, as is the Daoshi Chai.
Christmas Yangshuo is a tourist off-season; but after the October autumn, Yangshuo enters the dry season, visitors are also on the decrease, but this does not affect the Yangshuo charming, off-season there are the benefits of off-season, and from the cruise ships do not have to worry about upset the calm surface of the water , we can see the real reflection of yellow cloth, boatman of patience with you sitting on the sand hill on the breakdown of nine horses paintings, you can enjoy alone in a quiet countryside between the fields of golden wheat, yellow cauliflower of naked oats, far The layers of mountains, sunset falls on the floodplain ... ... as if all this beauty is yours, and in the season you can not appreciate the. Moreover, the off-season rental, car rentals, tickets, meals can all be discounted, the key is the West on Christmas Eve is also a very lively, very crazy. anyway different seasons to Yangshuo may have a different feeling, but you have an absolute go to Yangshuo (not just "one" to go).

If you first come to Yangshuo, the first few days to find a guide was needed, such as rental-free deposits, lead the way (field trail), contact fisherman's boat ... .... But will also introduce the local customs. However, some of those tickets where they will be strongly introduced (kickbacks higher) is best not to go, have no meaning.

DAY3: shock Journey
If you are not the first time come to Yangshuo, a certain tired of collar to collar to guide the way, I am here to introduce a self-cycling route (Yangshuo - Tian River - nunnery Hill - Wood Village - Lion Dragon Village - Tau - Welfare - Yangshuo) This line is from the Tau ferry ride on country roads off the highway back to Yangshuo, Lijiang and then about 4-6 hours, due to line difficult to find, but no charges so no tour guides taking tourists to come, but as a self-help line, the absolute very souls.
Rent a good car out of West Street Road, turn left into the peach east can be made to Yangshuo bridge (do not cross the bridge, it is the welfare of the road, came back to go) in the bridge approach when approaching the left of a path along which you can go on to the Tian River. Tian River is a quiet river, caught in the valley flowing quietly, a bit like a small Yulong River, it is beautiful, several pontoon bridge on the river if it is rainy or foggy weather it would be more poetic. Cycling over the Tian River Bridge will encounter the first fork in the road on the right path is to the Moon Hill, we take the left, along the Tian River. Can be seen riding on the roadside near a wooden Zhai Men, from here down to the Tian River, the river can be seen on the mountains of the nunnery. Nunnery mountain is a separate mountain, look very much like a bonsai inside the rockery, it is easy to separate. After a ride down the section of track the ups and downs wood Zhai Men, mountain bikes can play the (down-hill so cool to). About a quarter of an hour on the ride to the mountain Kimura, entrance to the village with small shops at the junction have a sign (stay in the public and 8 km), riding along the direction of the public to stay down. Riding, mountain Kimura went to the essence of this line segment, mountain path next to beautiful Lijiang River, if the water can be much below the flood, the scenery beautiful! Able to go is the lion and dragon Village, entrance to the village there is an inn, where Riverview a bit like the reflection of yellow cloth, lying on the bamboo chair drinking tea on a very nice, and the key to boost the morale of this Inn can repair (my tires in the mountains Kimura Shooting at a disadvantage when you can repair or else here is really to cry no more). Able to go ride will not see a turn to enter the rural Lijiang River scenery, mountains and surrounded by the roadside is a piece of rice paddies, and I feel great. About 45 minutes ride to reach the Tau Village, a small entrance to the village is also very difficult to find, believe it on the ride, so good, or ask passers-by. There is still marked by a small shop, next to a path you can go to the crossing of the. Crossing ferries are very cheap 1.5 per Lianren Dai car. Is the welfare of the town across the river, longer history of this town, you can walk around. Then you can more roads, and bumps a day must be very comfortable highway ride, but do not forget to ask a clear direction, from welfare to Yangshuo, about 8 km mountain ride up and back slower than usual, about 45 minutes, would you.
Consumption: Car Rental 5-8 yuan / person, 1.5 per ferry, bring their own lunch.
In talking about why the subject is called shock tours with others? Puncture because I wasted some time, and so on road ride when the days are already fully dark country roads there is no street lamps, in addition to bright lights and from outside the car is a dark and a few of which we had only one flashlight. We also talked and laughed the beginning, but no one riding for a while silent, and every people began to have a dignified air, focusing instead on riding forward, I think they like me very afraid of heart, because the bike is not light, dark days Village is to look unclear, and could easily be hit by a vehicle traveling. We have just gone through a tunnel feeling (reaching not see five fingers), a little mind set, they can at this time something went wrong! Lights of the reason may be the opposite, we are the only girls team, the car suddenly lost control and dashed straight street, clang bang hit the guardrail, the car was first washed down by Keren fell way below Zaidao go all come too suddenly, and she even had no time to call ah disappeared in my line of sight of. I ran to see the next destination, the following deep-ah well, black and boundless see anything unclear can only see her given a little light flashlight, I loudly called her name, no answer, just listen to the surrounding quiet to my re-echo of the mountains back to when I was heart-na is a Ah-watt cool-watt cool to think of her fall to the position, coupled with a 4,5 m high embankment, following what is not know, estimate is ...... in my mind a blank, only know that hysterical shouting her name, but still hear their own voice. I was almost desperate ...... I do not know how long it had vaguely heard a weak voice the following ........ although very light, but in the silence of the night is still very clear. I suddenly sit up and tell her not to move first, check their own injury, do not be afraid I'll be right down. Fortunately, I discovered not far down the steps, spent several great vigor only then to her back, fortunately, was she just wrist fractures, spine and head injuries failed to think of a miracle, then the high fall to go!
I am writing this is not to scare people, in fact, apart from the highway tunnel, is still very safe to ride during the day, I just want to remind you not just focus on the play, forget time, forget safety, safety first Well away from home.
Later we stopped a car sent to Yangshuo hospital, then a good bone to eat Western food then go West clubbing, so Crazy! Trip to Yangshuo actually have such ups and downs of the experience, a natural person is really memorable. As we sang that night in a bar with a "one year from today", Yangshuo, I will come again!
