Wheels hum over sun-warmed concrete; rice paddies ripple like green glass and limestone karst peaks rise abruptly, as if the earth were spiked from below. On a private full-day bike ride out of Yangshuo, the pace slows to match the countryside: farmers tending terraces, water buffalo ambling through shallow irrigation channels, and an ancient stone bridge that has carried feet and carts for more than 400 years.
