Yangshuo Hikes
Introduction
Although we recommend a bike trip as the best way to see a decent variety of the countryside in a short time, if you have longer then a hike can be an equally valuable experience. For a start, it is easier to stop and start whenever - and much easier to talk together along the way. Here's a real opportunity to ask your guide about every little detail of life in China.
What you should bring:
- Sunglasses sun hat, sun cream and something with long sleeves. Something to protect the back of your neck is also useful.
- Water - at least one litre. We can buy more along the way
- A rain coat (useful for sitting on if not required for anything else)
- Camera, film or batteries
- Personal medication
Yangti to Xingping, along the Li River
This route crosses the Li River by local ferry three times. We hike through some of the most impressive Karst scenery of all, ending at the viewpoint chosen for the picture on the back of the 20 Yuan note.
Along the Yulong River
We can walk several sections of the Yulong River - as far as suits your fitness, interests and schedule. There are interesting villages along the way, and fantastic scenery without end.

Further afield
Hiking around Longsheng
Longsheng is famous for its Rice Terraces. Many visitors walk up to the viewing spots on the ridge but no further. The area offers some outstanding hikes and we can arrange day trips or longer to suit all tastes.
Hiking from Chenyang
Chenyang is home to the Dong Minority people. Certainly the village is worth a visit with its ancient Drum Tower and Wind and Rain Bridge but to jutify the travel time it would be better to stay longer and hike around the nearby villages too.
