More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from a quiet Yangshuo hotel lane and the town rapidly loosens its grip: limestone towers puncture the sky, fields roll like folded green cloth, and the Yulong River dares you to slow down and look. The guide steers you toward narrow village trails where water buffalo amble, chickens scatter, and farmers pause to watch you pass.
