More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning mist lifts off the Li River as you meet your coach at Yangshuo Park; limestone towers jut like wind-carved teeth, and the path to the base threads bamboo groves and paddy fields. Within half an hour you arrive at a compact climbing area where ropes hum and helmets glint — the karst walls are close enough to touch, the views wide enough to make you catch your breath.
