Activities in Yangshuo China – showing the best of the area.

With so many Activities in Yangshuo on offer, you may wonder if you will have enough time to fit all the best activities into the days you planned for your Yangshuo visit.

Yangshuo has 3 different areas, each with its own distinctive features. There is the famous and most impressive Li-river scenery North of Yangshuo with the highly scenic road past the Tea Plantation and Stone Village offering views over the Li-river below and karst mountain peaks beyond. There is the South stretch of the Li-river passing by Fuli, Liugong, and the most picturesque farmlands and rice paddies. And last but not least there the Yulong river valley in the Southwest with its charming old villages and great scenery as well. So to get a good feel for the area we recommend to stay at least 3 days in Yangshuo.  This way you will get a chance to explore the region on foot, by bike, per scooter and/or per raft. Reserve an extra day or two in between for any of the cultural activities in Yangshuo, or to just relax and enjoy a break from the stress of travel in a very beautiful and peaceful environment with a massage or pay a visit to Yangshuo’s center wandering through the many handcraft shops, local restaurants and coffee shops.
