	China - Yangshuo / Guilin

2023

This is my third time going to YangShuo. The first time I was alone; second time was with sister; this third time is with Royceton.

It was a 4 days 3 nights trip and Royceton played with water at this Li River YangShuo section for 3 afternoons. Happiness for kids is really simple. Well, technically we are here for the mountain and water (山水).

Simple boat ride to see the RMB20 bill scenery.

Me with the view. ;-) I look tired for all the logistics.

Travelling with a kid I wouldn't venture much. So the first full day we had a boat ride at Li River and explored the XingPing old town.

We are back playing with water at the Li River Yangshuo section in the afternoon.

The second day we were at YinZi Cave. I just realized that I've been here before.

We stayed at YangShuo town center with a view looking over the signature mountain scenery.

This is the first time Royceton explores a cave. He thought I lied for saying we're visiting inside a mountain.

A comfy place for 3 nights.

I travelled on coach last time. Now we travel with High Speed Rail.

Here is the YangShuo town center. We stayed at the pavilion right in the middle.

We opted for the same local delicacy for all 4 days: Guilin noodle and LiuZhou Screw-noodle. Simple and tasty.

2009 Guilin is most famous of its unique mountain formation combined with watery reflection and mist. Nonetheless, the most enjoyable part of this trip locates on Guilin's surrounding towns as the beauty of the towns is undisturbed by the urban development. While escaped from the city crowd, you'll understand why Guilin was renowned "桂林山水甲天下" (the best scenery of the world). It's just beautiful.

Yangshuo is much of a paradise for backpackers,		full of pubs, night life for the faraway travellers.
A very basic village house up on a remote mountain.		Inside the red wall lies the tomb of Ming Dynasty Emperor.
YS, inside this ancient Chinese temple installed modern chic bar and restaurant. quite a scene.		All utensils sanitized in GL	Horse meat GL noodles
		Bamboo of Guangxi Prov.	YS. Karaoked with new known friends.
Yinzi Cave 銀子岩, never expected inside a regular normal mountain hidden with beautiful rock and mineral formation. Can you imagine that 1.2 bn yrs ago the whole GL was under water?		YS Li River pier. What's so enjoyable of YS is that one side of the river shore was developed as backpackers paradise, while the other side was left with untainted natural scenery. Just beautiful.
