A brittle morning light unrolls over karst peaks as your guide steers the private car toward the patchwork rice paddies outside Yangshuo. Bikes are laid against wooden fences; the Yulong River hums and dares you to follow its bends. Two hours of cycling thread you through villages where water buffalo graze and farmers bend to the day’s work, the limestone peaks rising suddenly like walls in a movie frame.
