Streets in Yangshuo are kept in their original style, preserving the layout of the ancient city. Savory local specialties like beer fish and shatian shaddocks are served on West Street, one of the town's liveliest thoroughfares. Kids will adore the local butterfly cave.

2. Xianggong Mountain

Reviewed By NLF2013
Not knowing how tough the climb was going to be - we were initially ambivalent as mid 50ers in good shape. However we realized this was not a major concern when we saw elderly individuals with canes who had reached the top! Steps were uneven in places but a handrail was available for 90% of the way. All of this was a moot point when you reach the summit platform and see the incredible view of the Li River and the numerous mountain peaks - just spectacular! Don’t miss it!

We watched the Dance Show at Guilin Romance Park and it was really amazing. The visuals were just stunning! I also loved the fact that the show really takes advantage of the whole arena, at times you end up turning around or looking up for some of the experiences. Highly recommend!

Fantastic views from the top. Possible the most amazingly beautiful views in Yangshou County. Photographers haven. But to get to the top, you have to ascend a little over 300 metres.
6. Fuli Bridge
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 89 reviews
Reviewed By sirx - Copenhagen, Denmark
This is a beautiful old bridge surrounded by green fields and mountains. It can be easily reached by car, motorbike or bicycle from Yangshuo. When you get to the bridge area there is a small cement bridge with a few food stalls and a parking lot nearby. There are usually a few ladies trying to make you park your vehicle there. Just cross the cement bridge with your motorbike or bicycle and continue on the road for 50m or so. To your left there will be a narrow dirt path that will take you to the top of Fuli bridge. The path continues by the riverside and after a few metres you'll have a platform from where you can take nice pictures of the bridge (I took the picture in this post from there).

A must-see in Yangshuo! Moon Hill is a great half-day trip and an easy climb with steps and handrails the whole way. It was very hot the day we went but also quiet which was nice. The scenery is beautiful from the outlook and there were a few ladies selling ice-cold drinks at the top to thirsty climbers.

This cave takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to visit and is located about 45 minutes from the center of Yangshuo. Instead of visiting the rice terraces, we went here. If you like caves then this one is awesome!
10. West Street

Reviewed By Francesco109 - London, United Kingdom
Lively, loud, noisy, crazy, electrifying... surely these are all positives, correct? Or you travel around the World just to get bored to death? Yangshuo offers beautiful, relaxing and peaceful travelling opportunities, such a crusing on the Li River. In the evening you want life, and yes, they do know how to enjoing themeself our Chinese friends! It is worthy to remember that the vast majority of tourists in Yangshuo are actually Chinese themselves, so West Street is a really genuine lively 'Chinese' touristic experience. Lots of good Chinese and Western restaurants. I loved it.
