A Travel to Yangshuo

In the most recent two days, my husband and I took his parents to Yangshuo, a county near Guiling city.

What do I think of Yangshuo?
There is a saying: the mountain and water in Guiling are the best in the world, and the mountain and water in Yangshuo is better than that of Guiling. I do agree with that.

We traveled from Guiling to Yangshuo by ship, enjoying the picturesque shores beside the Lijiang river. Standing in the river, the mountains look like camels, horses, elephants or even tortoises.

If we didn't visit Swallow Lake, we did not know that it is more beautiful than Lijiang river. Sitting in a small boat, we were in a series of landscapes. Dark green mountain surrounded by white mist, a scene that only occurs in movies.

The outside show, that night, was very impressive. The mountains were the stage background, and the lake was the stage, the actors and actresses who were really farmers and fishermen in the day rowed small boats, weaved fishing nets, cast fishing nets. Various colors of lights sent from the mountains and water, together with folk songs, made the whole thing wonderful and perfect. It was really a feast of eyesight. Some people could not even help cheering when they saw this stunning performance.

I think that Yangshuo deserves a visit.

Well done Cathy! Sounds like a cool place!
