After staying in Yangshuo for more than two months, cycling has become my favorite way to appreciate the mountains, rivers and countryside.

Yangshuo, as the county town that receives the most foreign tourists, naturally has its own unique features. Yangshuo’s “West Street” is also known as “Foreigner Street”, which shows that foreign tourists love it. However, as time goes by, the commercialization of West Street is naturally inevitable, so let’s just take a look and not comment.

Because of the beautiful scenery in Yangshuo and the fact that I got to know some interesting souls, I stayed here without knowing it. As time goes by, I get to know more people, so we often meet up to take friends or tourists to ride together. Generally, we will choose bicycles. Unless we go to a far place, or if we have many female friends, we will choose to ride electric bicycles.

Shili Gallery is also a well-known attraction in Yangshuo. There are many small attractions for a fee, and there are even rock climbing. But every time we pass by, we don’t stop too much. When we arrive at Gongnong Bridge Then turn right and officially start riding along the Yulong River.

Riding along the road, the Yulong River will be on the left hand side. Keep going straight ahead, and soon there will be a slope down to the river. There are hiking trails along the river. If you ride a bicycle, you can ride along this road. However, a battery bike has to go back to the road and ride forward. This is true in almost every place that is close to the river, so I personally compare Like riding bikes. You will often meet foreigners while riding along the way. Most foreigners like to ride bicycles on this road. There are very few riding electric bicycles or riding bamboo rafts. After all, people come prepared, and the mountains, rivers and countryside along the way are indeed so beautiful.

After riding all the way to Jiuxian County, there are other ways to return to the county seat. You don’t have to go back the same way. If you have enough time, you can also reach Jinlong Bridge and Fuli Bridge. However, we usually go there. They all rode electric scooters because the distance was indeed quite far, but the scenery was also so beautiful.

Many people take wedding photos on the Yulong River. choose.

Of course, in addition to often riding the Yulong River, if you stay in Yangshuo for a long time, you will also go to some places that tourists don’t go to, such as Shuangtan, which is a good place for barbecue and swimming. Only locals or those who have spent enough time in Yangshuo will know.

June and July are the rainy seasons in Yangshuo. I was ready to leave at that time, but unexpectedly it happened to rain heavily again. As a result, the West Street was flooded. Later, with the release of water from the upstream reservoir, it became Yangshuo has become flooded.

This experience in Yangshuo is one of the most exciting and unforgettable in my life. In addition to seeing the beautiful scenery, more importantly, I got to know a lot of interesting people and did a lot of interesting things. Cooking together and celebrating holidays together are endless fun.

Even after many years, looking at these photos will still bring a smile to your lips.
