Yangshuo Insider Tip

The Li River between Guilin and Yangshuo is one of the world's most recognisable landscapes (it's on the 20 RMB note). Take the official Li River cruise one-way and cycle back through the karst villages — the cycle route between Yangshuo and Xingping follows the river and passes through rice paddies with unobstructed views of the peaks. Rent a bamboo raft at Fuli village for the most immersive experience.

Marrakech Insider Tip

Bargaining in the souks is mandatory — start at 30% of asking price.

🇨🇳 Yangshuo Fun Fact

The limestone karst peaks around Yangshuo are up to 300 million years old — formed when this part of Guangxi was a tropical sea floor. The landscape inspired the phrase 'Guilin's scenery is the finest under heaven' (桂林山水甲天下) which has been used since the Tang dynasty. The iconic image of a fisherman on a bamboo raft with a cormorant on his arm is a real — though now touristic — Zhuang fishing tradition.

🇲🇦 Marrakech Fun Fact

The University of Al-Qarawiyyin in nearby Fez, founded 859 AD, is the world's oldest continuously operating university.
