Overnight in Yangshuo

China's most "Chinese" scenery Educational – Geology

Yangshuo is located 70km away from Guilin in the northeast part of Guangxi province. It is featured with the typical karst terrain. It is home to Zhuang, Yao, Miao and eight other minority groups what makes a stay very special. Until the late 1980’s it was nothing more than a marketplace when it became popular to visitors. It is a good base to explore the surrounding peaks and river, as well as a few caves and outlying villages.
