Yangshuo County & Longsheng Rice Terraces


After leaving Dali we few to Guilin and then drove to Yangshuo, which is one of the most beautiful places in China and another highlight of our trip. It is surrounded by karst peaks. The landscape is beautiful and there is a lot to do in the area. We went swimming in the river, took a long bike ride, took a bamboo raft down the Yulong river, visited the nearby Longsheng rice terraces, went rock climbing and visited a cave with a mud bath/swimming pool. All that in three days.

Longsheng Rice Terraces, about a four hour bus ride from our guesthouse.
At the rice terraces, you can pay to have someone treat you like a princess and carry you up the millions of stairs.



Our guesthouse, the Giggling Tree. 



A trip for the Bain's wouldn't be complete if we didn't have to wear helments at some point.







The cave was both happy and exciting.
