Hey / What's up
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.
Tip 18–20% at restaurants. Walk fast on sidewalks — stay right, pass left.
🇨🇳 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.
🇺🇸 New York Fun Fact
New York City has 468 subway stations — more than any other city in the world.
