Continuing on our round the world trip with Guilin and Yangshuo, China
If you’re going to visit Guilin and Yangshuo we recommend starting in Guilin to get some of the more touristy stuff done before heading down into Yangshuo for some of the most awe-inspiring and spectacular scenery we’ve ever witnessed. Sure, there are karst mountains in Guilin, but the best ones are in Yangshuo. Guilin has shopping, good food and the sights there were great too. We first went to the Reed Flute Caves, it reminded us a lot of Timpanogos back in Utah, inside what they’ve done is placed different neon-colored lights throughout to showcase the amazing structures and depth. Another fun spot to visit is a mountain that looks like an elephant drinking from the river called Elephant Hill which is also lit up at night in the same neon lights as the caves. From Guilin we took a 3 hour cruise along the Li River to arrive in Yangshuo to enjoy the amazing karst limestone mountains. We decided to rent a scooter to do hikes and see more of this surreal land, we were reminded of Hawaii a lot and the mountains seemed to almost be in 3-D at times. We had a wonderful time here and are looking forward to the next stop on our world tour! Hong Kong!
