Day 5: Yangshuo Countryside and Bamboo Rafting
A great way to start your day in Yangshuo may be cycling along the scenic country roads. Pause whenever you wish to take in the idyllic views that change with the seasons - rapeseed flowers in spring, lush reflections of the landscape in summer, and golden rice fields in autumn. Alternatively, you can opt for a car ride.
Then, drift along the tranquil Yulong River on a bamboo raft, gently propelled by the current and guided by a boatman, experiencing occasional jolts and splashes that add a touch of excitement. In the afternoon, you may like to try unique activities like Taichi lesson, painted fan making, or rock climbing for an added thrill.
