To the Yulong!

Driving through the back country roads at night from Guilin airport to Yangshou I could not see them.

Rising with a rooster's crow and stumbling from my room in a traditional yet restored farmhouse – now the lovely Outside Inn – I see they loom everywhere. My eyes adjust slowly to a panorama they’ve never before seen. Some resemble thick bull horns, others some kind of granite vegetable. They rise conspicuously from the ground and dot the topography of lush rice fields and slow moving rivers. Formed over millions of years ago by the earth’s crustal movements, the Karst peaks are composed of limestone sediments. Each one’s unique body a result of endless erosion and whipping winds – nature always proves to be the best artisan.


I stay in the farming community of Cho-Long a mere 4 kilmometres from the more well-known Yangshou - that famed ‘town’ sitting on the Li River. Yangshou is no longer a town: tourism and industrialization have transformed the sleepy hamlet into a thriving and bustling city. Although the city itself is pleasant to stroll through and many other excursions require a visit, Cho-Long breathes and breeds more tranquility.

One gets the impression that Cho-Long mirrors what Yangshou was: a farming community in one of the prettiest corners of the world. The narrower and quieter Yulong river – compared to the bustling Li River and its ferry boats - flows past Cho-Long through pancake-flat rice fields to even more serene and time-less villages. Concrete paths dissect the farmlands, ideally suited for bicycles or intrepid legs (bicycles may be borrowed from the Outside Inn). An idyllic swimming hole rests not 10 minutes from the Outside Inn where you can bathe and gaze adoringly at each soaring, oddly-shaped peak. In Chinese, ‘Yulong’ means ‘meeting a dragon’ and it is not difficult to imagine a row of karst peaks resembling the back or torso or head of such a mythical creature. Along the river, entrepreneurial locals try to convince you to take a ride on rafts made from striking bamboo pieces – a reminder of tourism’s growing impact.

For my money, simply meandering along the river, past farmhouses and rice fields and over ancient bridges is the best way to enjoy this slice of Guangxi province.

Landscape

We rented a bike in Yangshou and began the route along the Yulong River. After about 6 km there is an entrance to the left passing through a village and connects to the river. At that point a rower takes riders over who return from the full path by the river. We discovered this when we crossed and then returned the 2nd day. The scenery is breathtaking, it is a stretch of the river surrounded by mountains and the reflections of clouds in the water. There is a raised area which allows you to walk over the water and a waterfall for a relaxing swim. The area is secluded but you might see Chinese sowing rice under the mountains, water buffalo wallowing and peasants carrying water.

We recommend this non-touristy and magical area.

Yangshuo

Stroll the streets of this small town in the inside of China provides photos as beautiful as this. After being in large cities as Beijing, Hong Kong or Shanghai , traveling to the more rural areas of China is relaxing, because besides being beautiful, the people are wonderful. This was decorated by beautiful karst massifs typical of the area. To rest, repeat, and stay some time to dream. It comes with a 4-hour cruise of where one can enjoy the beautiful views and landscape along the Li River, departing from Guilin and arriving at Yangshuo. In it you can see fishing, cattle grazing, and mountains

That are magical.

¿Yangshuo or Guilin?

¿Yangshuo o Guilin?

Excellent
Si tienes pensado visitar esta zona de Guilin-Yangshuo y no sabes bien cómo repartir el tiempo o donde hospedarte, quédate con Yangshuo sin dudarlo. ¡Lo tiene todo! A Guilin con que le dedique un día o dos será suficiente, en Yangshuo me hubiera quedado toda una semana. Por el día tienes increíbles paseos en bicicleta por el valle del río Yulong. Lo mejor es que alquiles una bici por unos 20 yuanes (unos 3 euros todo el día) y te pierdas por los paseos entre las famosas montañas de este lugar. Por las tardes tienes heladerías, cafeterías, tiendas (tampoco muchísimas, pero lo justo como para entretener un poquillo) y por las noches tienes restaurantes y bares donde tomarte una cervecita fresquita mientras reposas las piernas después de tanta bici. El pueblo en sí, es algo artificial, es decir, es un pueblo únicamente creado para atraer al turismo. Nosotras fuimos en febrero y había gente pero sin pasarse (no como en otras ciudades de China) aunque tiene pinta de que en temporada alta esté hasta arriba.
If you plan to visit this area of ​​Guilin-Yangshuo and do not know well how to divide the time or where to stay, stay with Yangshuo without hesitation. Has it all! A Guilin you spend a day or two will suffice, in Yangshuo I had stayed a week. On the day you have incredible bike rides through the valley of the Yulong River. It"s best to rent a bike for about 20 yuan (about 3 euros all day) and miss for walks among the famous mountains of this place. In the evenings you have ice cream parlors, coffee shops (not many, but just enough to entertain a bit different) and at night restaurants and bars where you drink a cold beer while you lay legs after so much bike. The village itself is somewhat artificial, ie, it is a village only created to attract tourists. We went in February and there were people without going over (not like in other cities in China) but it looks that high season is way up.

It"s an authentic past

Es una auténtica pasada.

Excellent
A Yangshuo llegarás en barco desde Guilin recorriendo el Río Li. Si la experiencia del crucero por el río es sobrecogedora, quedarae a dormir en Yangsguo y disfrutar de su naturaleza es algo excepcional. Lo que caracteriza esta zona es que está rodeada por montañas kársticas que dejan estampas increíbles. La forma más cómoda es hacerlo en bicicleta, perdiéndose por caminos en los que la naturaleza adquiere todo su esplendor. Te doy 2 consejos: el primero es que, si puedes, cuando hagas el crucero desde Gulin a Yangshuo, no vuelvas a Guilin. Quédate 2 noches en Yangshuo. Así tendrás la opción de poder hacer las rutas en bicicleta al día siguiente. Mi segundo consejo es que te busques un hotel alejado de la ciudad (ésta es muy turística, ruidosa y seguro que llena de gente). Los hay que están a unos kilómetros, en plena naturaleza. Es una auténtica pasada. Yo he estado alojada en el Moondance Hotel a 8 km. Allí te dejan las bicis, hay piscina al aire libre y cenas súper bien. Espero que te guste tanto como a mi!
To Yangshuo you will arrive by boat from Guilin touring the Li River. If the experience of the river cruise is overwhelming, stay to sleep in Yangsguo and enjoy its nature is something exceptional. What characterizes this area is that it is surrounded by karstic mountains that leave incredible prints. The most comfortable way is to do it by bicycle, losing yourself on paths where nature acquires all its splendor. I give you 2 tips: the first is that, if you can, when you do the cruise from Gulin to Yangshuo, do not go back to Guilin. Stay 2 nights in Yangshuo. This way you will have the option to do the bike routes the next day. My second advice is that you look for a hotel away from the city (this is very touristy, noisy and sure to be full of people). There are some that are a few kilometers away, in the middle of nature. It is an authentic past. I have been staying at the Moondance Hotel 8 km away. There they leave you the bikes, there is outdoor swimming pool and dinners super well. I hope you like it as much as I do!

Una ubicación a orillas de los ríos Yulong y Lijiang, a tan solo 70 Km de Guilin. Un enclave sencillamente espectacular, que invita a perderse por el campo, ya sea andando o en bici entre, sus lindos paisajes. Un paisaje de piedra caliza tranquilo y relajante, espectacular. Ver discurrir las balsas de bambú por el río Li, desde Guilin - Yangshuo la "luna brillante" mientras se escuchan melodías románticas, de la anciana China. Un lugar desde donde admirar las montañas, las colinas y perderse por sus callejuelas, que nos condujeron hasta el mercado. La oferta de sus puestos de comida típica, faisán, setas, salmón, frutas y algo que ellos comer las ratas de agua, me limité hacer la foto, en fin. En su entorno se halla el Parque Yangshuo, lleno de miradores y muy colorista. Visitamos pueblos vecinos, entre ellos Yangdi y Langshi. Donde se encuentran casas y museos de madera, de las que aun cuelgan estandartes de Mao como protagonista.
A location on the banks of the Yulong and Lijiang rivers, only 70 km from Guilin. A simply spectacular enclave, which invites you to get lost in the countryside, whether walking or cycling among its beautiful landscapes. A calm and relaxing limestone landscape, spectacular. See the bamboo rafts run down the Li River, from Guilin - Yangshuo the "bright moon" while listening to romantic melodies, from the ancient China. A place from which to admire the mountains, the hills and get lost in its narrow streets, which led us to the market. The offer of their stalls of typical food, pheasant, mushrooms, salmon, fruits and something that they eat water rats, I limited myself to make the photo, anyway. In its environment is Yangshuo Park, full of viewpoints and very colorful. We visited neighboring villages, including Yangdi and Langshi. Where there are wooden houses and museums, of which Mao"s banners are still hanging as a protagonist.

A place to stop and savor

Un luogo dove fermarsi a vivere

Pochi posti al mondo sono belli, accoglienti, caldi, tranquilli, ospitali e infine indimenticabili come Yangshuo. Io ci sono stato circa 6 mesi. E' un posto dal quale è sempre più difficile venirne via. Il costo della vita è basso, è facilissimo anche trovare un lavoro o lavoretto che ti garantisca vitto e alloggio e anche qualche soldo. Ci sono due fiumi nei dintorni, laghi pieni di fiori di loto, colline verdi, cascate, posti in cui starsene nella pace più meravigliosa osservando una natura che non ha uguali. E' uno di quei posti che si pensa possa esistere solo nei sogni. E appena ci metti piede, scendendo da un autobus, la bocca aperta per la meraviglia, pensi che da qui non vorrai più andartene. E sarà difficile farlo.
Few places in the world are beautiful, comfortable, warm, peaceful, hospitable and finally unforgettable as Yangshuo. I've been there about 6 months. It 'a place from which it is increasingly difficult to get on. The cost of living is low, it is also easy to find a job or chore that will ensure food and accommodation and also some money. There are two nearby rivers, lakes filled with lotus flowers, green hills, waterfalls, places to sit in peace observing a most wonderful nature that has no equal. And 'one of those places that you think would exist only in dreams. And as soon as we set foot, down from a bus, mouth open in wonder, do you think that from here you will not want to leave. It will be difficult to do so.

Motorcycle excursion around Yangshuo

Excursión en moto por los alrededores de Yangshuo

Sin duda, un plan perfecto para recorrer el área de Guillin- Yangshuo en China es alquilar motos y moverte a tu ritmo por los impresionantes parajes de mogotes kársticos y ríos. El tráfico, fuera de las vías principales, no es masivo y es alucinante recorrer la zona. Paisajes impresionantes y miradores que te dejan sin aliento. A tener en cuenta: las indicaciones son escasas así que hazte con un buen mapa; no esperes que la gente te sepa indicar porque ni con gestos es fácil comunicarse; si no has llevado nunca moto, NO elijas China para empezar a conducir, no hay reglas en lo que al tráfico se refiere y es habitual que se crucen animales, peatones, camiones, otras motos... en nuestro hotel coincidimos con una pareja que se había accidentado (él era la segunda vez que conducía moto - mala idea).
Definitely a perfect base for exploring the area of ​​Yangshuo in China Guillin- plan is to rent bikes and move at your own pace by the breathtaking landscapes of krsticos hummocks and ros. The traffic outside the main go, is not massive and amazing tour the area. Breathtaking scenery and viewpoints that leave you breathless. Please note: the signs are rare as you get yourself a good map; do not expect people to know you indicate that neither is easy to communicate with gestures; if you've never taken moto, NOT choose China for starting, there are no rules as far as traffic is concerned and it is customary for animals, pedestrians, trucks, other bikes are crossed ... in our hotel we agree with a couple has had bumpy (l was the second time course of conduct moto - bad idea).

My trip in Yangshuo

Mi viaje en Yangshuo

Excellent
En Yangshuo nos alojamos en Travelling with hostel, las habitaciones y el espacio en general esta bien ubicado, limpio y buen cuidado. Tiene una terraza muy bonita con unas vistas inigualables. El personal habla ingles pero no son muy simpáticos, no nos han ayudado a conseguir nada de información extra. En el hostel también tenían algunas excursiones programadas. Sin embargo, los precios eran desorbitados, así que el 18 a la noche salimos a dar una vuelta por el pueblo y cogimos nuestra excursión en barca de bambú por el río Lí (a ver el paisaje que sale en los billetes de 20 RMB) y pagamos 150 RMB por cabeza, en vez de los 340 RMB que nos pedían en el hostel. Compramos los tickets la noche de antes en una agencia de viajes de la plaza principal de Yangshuo. A las 8:20 de la mañana del día 19 fuimos al punto de encuentro donde nos recogía el autobús para llevarnos al puerto. Hicimos un recorrido de una hora y media aproximadamente. El día empezó muy nublado y nuestras fotos del río Lí quedaron un poco más deslucidas de lo que queríamos, aún así la visita fue bonita y divertida. En el río Lí, las barcas son a motor y se baja de 4 en 4 (no ocurre lo mismo en el río Yulong, en el que las barcas son de remo llevadas por un barquero y te montas de 2 en 2). Nuestros compañeros de viaje fueron una pareja China que sacaron más fotografías de nosotras que del propio río o de sus montañas. Aún así , nos vino muy bien tener a esta pareja cerca, porque le pagaron 20 RMB extras al barquero para que parase en una isla 10 minutos y poder sacar unas fotos bonitas , tranquilos y solos. Allí en la isla hablamos un poco con la pareja y el barquero y nos echamos unas risas, entre lo que les entendíamos, nos entendían y nos inventábamos pasamos muy buen rato. Al cabo de una hora de paseo por el río, la barca te deja en el mismo sitio del que salimos e hicimos el recorrido hasta el bus andando, por ese caminito encontramos el lugar exacto desde donde se ve la imagen de los billetes de 20 RMB y por supuesto inmortalizamos el momento. Llegamos a Yangshuo a las 12:30 justo cuando la niebla empezaba a levantarse, así que alquilamos una bicicleta para “salir a rodar” ya que al día siguiente teníamos planeada una ruta bastante larga. El “salir a rodar” se acabo convirtiendo en 20 km de paseo por la orilla del río Yulong. Las vistas, los molinos, los caminos bien cuidados, los barqueros ocasionales bajando el río, los caminantes cantando… todo ello hizo que nuestro paseo fuera uno de los grandes aciertos del viaje. Si bien es cierto que el paseíto se nos fue de las manos porque al día siguiente… nos costo volvernos a sentar en la bici. El día 20 daría para otro post pero voy a tratar de resumirlo en este. Nos despertamos temprano, tomamos un buen desayuno a base de huevos, beicon, fruta con yogur y té y volvimos a la plaza a alquiler las mountain bike al mismo sitio que el del día anterior. Nada más sentarnos en la bici sentimos que iba a ser un día movidito, pero eso por supuesto no nos detuvo. Cogimos la carretera e hicimos parada en varios puntos del camino la cueva de la mariposa y el gran árbol Banyan. La tercera parada eran las water gold cave, debajo de nuestra ropa llevábamos los bikinis y todo preparado para nuestro baño en las aguas termales. Según íbamos por la carretera una señora nos grito en ingles que ella vendía entradas para el moon hil, las water gold cave y no se para cuantos sitios más. La primera impresión de mi compi fue no hacer ni caso y seguir nuestro camino hasta encontrar el ticket office oficial, pero yo que he viajado mucho por China y sé que se pueden encontrar buenas ofertas en mitad de la nada (en este caso literalmente) me paré. Resulta que la mujer nos vendía las entradas por 50 RMB en vez de por 85 asique nos acompaño hasta la entrada con su moto y efectivamente cuando llegamos allí la pagamos y nos dio dos entradas. Éramos las únicas visitantes de las cuevas, y tuvimos una guía privada y en ingles. La cueva ofrece una poza de barro (en diciembre estaba vacía pero en Julio de 2015 que también las visite estaba llena de barro, lo que me da a entender que esa es estacional) y tres de agua (una de hielo, otra a 40º y otra a 50º). Cuando estuve en verano de 2015, no disfruté mucho de las pozas porque estaban atestadas de gente y de niños gritando, además los chinos no se distinguen por ser especialmente limpios y el agua estaba sospechosamente marrón. Sin embargo mi experiencia en las cuevas este viaje a sido inmejorable. Pasamos dentro del agua, pasando de una poza a otra las dos solas más de media hora y a la salida teníamos los gemelos y el culo preparados para otra buena aventura en bici. De allí nos dirigimos al Moon Hill y de camino otra señora nos asalto en la carretera, como la vez anterior nos había salido tan bien, nos paramos a escuchar su oferta. La señora decía que nos vendía la entrada por 15 RMB las dos en vez de 15RMB cada una. Por supuesto la seguimos, nos llevo a un sitio para aparcar las bicis y luego empezó a meternos por un camino muy raro, cuando llevábamos unos minutos subiendo por mitad de la selva nos dimos cuenta de lo que realmente pasaba. La señora había encontrado a un camino alternativo para subir al Moon Hill, por el que milagrosamente no había que pasar por el ticket office a comprar la entrada. De esta manera la mujer subía a los turistas hasta un punto en el que su camino secreto y el camino oficial se juntaban y ella se quedaba con el precio de la entrada. Cuando llegamos al cruce de caminos entre risas y miradas de perplejidad le pagamos sus 15 RMB a la señora y seguimos nuestro camino, pero la señora debía de llevar mucho tiempo haciendo lo mismo porque ni siquiera 10 minutos después de dejarla, nos salió a buscar un guardia de seguridad con cara de pocos amigos y nos acompaño amablemente hasta el ticket office para comprar el ticket oficial (que vergüenza, menos mal que somos “guiris” y nos hicimos las tontas…) Después de pagar 3 tickets en vez de 2, subimos al moon hill y nos hicimos otros amigos chinos, con los que por supuesto nos sacamos algunas fotos más. Nuestra sorpresa más grande fue que al salir por la puerta del Moon Hill la señora que nos había enseñado el camino alternativo, estaba esperándonos porque se había enterado de que nos habían pillado y nos dio una alternativa, no nos devolvía el dinero pero si comíamos en un restaurante al que ella nos llevaba nos descontaban de la cuenta los 15 RMB. Alucinadas con el trato, empezamos a idear teorías y la que más nos gustó es que el guardia de seguridad en realidad no era el guardia de seguridad sino el camarero del restaurante que estaba compinchado con la señora para llenar su local, fue un momento muy divertido sobre todo porque estábamos convencidas de que en algún momento iba a aparecer por allí el “guardia de seguridad” con nuestros platos. Después del paseo en bici, las pozas , el Moon Hill y la comida con descuento, aún eran las 14:00 así que decidimos dar otro paseo a orillas del río Yulong, pero tuvimos bastantes problemas…. Nos perdimos muchas veces, menos mal que teníamos las aplicaciones de “Baidu Maps” y el “City Maps” que nos ayudaron a encontrarnos todas y cada una de las veces. Después de 1 hora y media perdidas y más de 7 horas montadas en la bici llegamos al punto donde debíamos cruzar el río para volver a Yangshuo pero...¡No había puente! Nos encontramos con esto. Una especie de presa de roca, pero no estaba completa, es decir tenía 3 hendiduras bastante anchas para que pasase el agua y montadas en la bici no podíamos pasar. Después de pensar “Y si nos ponemos el bikini de nuevo y pasamos el río con las bicis en alto?” “Y si una de nosotras se mete en el agua y pasa la bici de lado a lado del paso de agua abierto?” “hay mucho musgo”, “nos vamos a caer y se van a quedar las bicis en el río Yulong” “No podemos volver hasta el Moon Hill, son otros 10 km y se va a hacer de noche". Por fin se nos presento delante la mejor opción posible, un pescador con su barca de bambú. Montamos las bicis en la barca, al bajar a la barca yo me caí al río mojándome los pies jajaja, que pena que la cámara iba en la bici porque habría sido un buen vídeo para vosotros. En fin, gracias a nuestro amigo cruzamos el río por 30 RMB (Aunque el barquero quería cobrarnos 100 RMB) y pudimos volver a Yangshuo en bici mojadas y manchadas de barro pero sanas y salvas y de día. Al día siguiente volvimos a casa, compramos un billete de autobús desde Yangshuo hasta la estación de tren Este de Guilin y de allí a Guangzho u Si quieres leer más historia de China suscribete en mi blog www.asiaeasyviajes.com
Yangshuo stayed at Travelling with hostel, rooms and space in general is well located, clean and good care. It has a lovely terrace with superb views. The staff speaks English but are not very friendly, have not helped us get anything extra information. In the hostel also they had some scheduled trips. However, prices were exorbitant, so 18 the night we went for a walk through the village and took our tour bamboo raft down the Li River (to see the scenery out on tickets for 20 RMB) and we paid 150 RMB per head, instead of the 340 RMB calling us at the hostel. We bought tickets the night before in a travel agency from the main square of Yangshuo. At 8:20 the morning of the 19th we went to the meeting point where we picked up the bus to take us to the port. We toured an hour and a half. The day started very cloudy and our photos of Li River were a little more faded than we wanted, yet the visit was nice and fun. In the Li River, the boats are motorized and down 4 on 4 (not you ride 2 by 2 case in the Yulong River, where rowing boats are carried by a boatman y). Our traveling companions were a Chinese couple who took more pictures of us that the river itself or its mountains. Still, we came very well have this couple close because they paid the boatman extra 20 RMB for him to stop on an island 10 minutes to get a nice, quiet and lonely photos. There on the island talked a little with the couple and the boatman and us a laugh, from what we understood them, understand us and we invented we had a good time. After an hour"s walk along the river, the boat drops you at the same site that went out and did the way to the bus walk for that caminito find the exact place where the image of the ticket is 20 RMB and we immortalize the time course. We arrived at Yangshuo at 12:30 just as the fog began to rise, so we rented a bike for "rolling out" because the next day we had planned a fairly long route. The "rolling out" I was just becoming 20 km ride along the Yulong River. The views, mills, roads well maintained, occasional boatmen down the river, hikers singing ... all made our ride was one of the great successes of the trip. While it is true that thay us out of hand because the next day ... cost us turn to sit on the bike. On 20 would for another post but will try to sum it up in this. We woke up early, had a good breakfast of eggs, bacon, fruit with yogurt and tea and returned to the square to rent mountain bikes at the same site as the previous day. Nothing but sit on the bike felt it would be a busy day, but that of course did not stop us. We took the road and we stop at several points along the way cave butterfly and large Banyan tree. The third stop was the gold water cave beneath our clothes wore bikinis and everything ready for our bath in the hot springs. As we were on the road a lady yelled at us in English that she sold tickets for the hil moon, the gold water cave and not as many as other places. The first impression of my compilation was not make or case and move on until you find the official office ticket, but I have traveled extensively in China and I know that you can find good deals in the middle of nowhere (in this case literally) me I stopped. It turns out that the woman sold us the tickets RMB 50 rather than 85 so here we go with the entrance to his motorcycle and sure enough when we got there we pay and gave us two tickets. We were the only visitors to the caves, and had a private guide and English. The cave has a pool of mud (in December was empty but in July 2015 also the visit was full of mud, which I implied that this is seasonal) and three water (one ice, another at 40 and another at 50). When I was in the summer of 2015, I do not really enjoyed the pools because they were crowded with screaming children and also the Chinese are not known for being particularly clean and the water was suspiciously brown. However my experience in the caves this trip was unbeatable. We passed into the water, going from pool to another two alone over half an hour and departure had twins and ass ready for another good adventure bike. From there we went to the Moon Hill Road and another lady assault us on the road, as before we had gone so well, we stop to listen to their offer. The lady said that we sold for 15 RMB entry two instead of 15RMB each. Of course we followed, led us to a place to park the bikes and then started to get us by a very strange way, when we had a few minutes up the middle of the jungle we realized what was really going on. The lady had found an alternative way to get on the Moon Hill, by which miraculously did not have to go through the ticket office to buy tickets. Thus women tourists rose to a point where its secret way and gathered the official way and she stayed with the price of admission. When we reached the crossroads between laughter and looks of bewilderment we pay the 15 RMB to the lady and went on our way, but the lady had to take a long time doing the same for even 10 minutes after leaving her, he left us to seek security guard with scowling and escorted us kindly to the ticket office to buy the official ticket (shame, luckily we are "touristy" and we made silly ...) After pay 3 tickets instead of 2, climb the moon hill and we made other Chinese friends, with which of course we took some photos. Our biggest surprise was that to walk out the door of Moon Hill the lady who taught us the alternative route, was waiting because they had heard that we had caught and gave us an alternative, did not return our money but if we ate in a restaurant she took us discounted us 15 RMB account. He hallucinated with the deal, began to devise theories and we liked is that the security guard was not really the security guard but the restaurant waiter who was in cahoots with the lady to fill his place, was a very fun time especially because we were convinced that at some point there would appear the "security guard" with our dishes. After the bike ride, the pools, the Moon Hill and discounted meal, were still 14:00 so we decided to take another walk along the Yulong river, but we had enough problems .... We got lost many times, luckily we had applications "Baidu Maps" and "City Maps" that helped us find every single time. After 1 hour and a half lost more than 7 hours and mounted on the bike we reach the point where we had to cross the river to return to Yangshuo but ... There was no bridge! We find this. A kind of prey rock, but was not complete, ie it had 3 slits wide enough to pass water and mounted on the bike could not pass. After thinking "And if we get the bikini again and we crossed the river with bikes up?" "And if one of us gets into the water and passes the bike from side to side passage open water?" " there are a lot of moss "," we will fall and they will stay bikes in the Yulong river "" we can not they return to the Moon Hill, are another 10 km and is going to do at night. "we finally I stood before the best possible option, a fisherman with his boat bamboo. We rode bikes on the boat, going down to the boat I fell into the river getting wet hahaha feet, shame that the camera was on the bike because it would have been a nice video for you. in short, thanks to our friend crossed the river for 30 RMB (Although the boatman wanted to charge 100 RMB) and we return to Yangshuo on wet bike and muddy but unharmed and day. the next day we returned to house, we buy a bus ticket from Yangshuo to Guilin station East station and from there to Guangzho u If you want to read more history of China subscribe to my blog www.asiaeasyviajes.com
