Introduction of Yangshuo

Yangshuo is 65 km by land but 83 km by river from the Guilin urban area. The old town of Yangshuo doesn´t require any translation to enjoy its beauty. The best thing to do is just to wander around the old lanes and get lost. That´s easy to do, considering the lanes seem to follow no coherent plan. But not to worry; the place isn´t that big, and most streets lead to the main street – West Street that´s the hub of the town´s activity.
