Tour Itinerary
Leave at 8:30 from hotel in Yangshuo, cycle 1.5 hours from Yangshuo to Yulong River. The Chinese word "Yulong" refers to "meeting a dragon". Local legend has it that a dragon from the East Sea strolled across the Yulong River and, being deeply impressed by the attractive landscape, decided to stay there forever. The villagers living on the river bank saw the dragon several times, and hence named it the Yulong River. Start to hike and/or bike along the river downstream. Mountains and waters are far more than you can imagine. Picnic lunch. Arrive at Yangshuo 6 hours later. Back to hotel.
Yulong River flows through some of the most beautiful Karst (limestone) scenery near Yangshuo. Local people use rafts as daily transportation up and down the river between house, markets, and rice paddies. Sitting on the reclining chair on the raft, you can enjoy an all around view of the natural, rural life down the river. Looking from the mountaintops, you can see a vivid panorama of the landscape with the green crystal water flowing through the colorful valley below. Viewers are entranced with the harmonious picture of women washing clothes beside the river, ducks swimming on the river, bamboo rafts moving under the old bridge, and farmers working in the fields.
