The karst county - Yangshuo, China

Welcome to the karst county

Yangshuo

This is our next stop, Yangshuo another town in China. Just need 3-4 hour from Gui lin by bus. The bus leave at noon and we arrived at Yangshuo about at 3.00 pm. I forgot how much the ticket price bus I think is not too expensive. Its because we both do not understand a mandarin language so I need check and ask to the locket for make sure that we bought the right ticket coz I don't want waste money...

Sitting on the bus for 3 hour definitely torture me on my first day got period. So uncomfortable I can't sleep, my back is hurt and uncontrolled emotion makes all bad...and Monkey, poor him... he always be my hormone target hahaha..

Great view in outside made my mind distracted (for a while) from my period. I look from the window and I see hills everywhere, it's amazing view remind me with the sound of music song..."The hills are alive with the sound of music.. la la la..." NO? ok then... :P
If you see hills everywhere, It's mean you are arrived at Yangshuo...

almost arrived :)

WEST STREET...
The first thing that I'll do is going to the toilet yes I know its nasty toilet but i can't hold it anymore. Tissue and take a deep breath will help me to through it...fiiuhh...

Ok, so from the bus station to our hotel is only 10 minute by walking, very near. We stayed at Bamboo House Hotel, No.12. Longmu Alley, West Street, Yangshuo (http://bamboohouse.weebly.com) or if you want get a good price try booked at www.agoda.com they give a big discount 50%-70%.

West street is the center of thing in here. You can very easy to find accommodation (splurge, middle until budget), souvenir shop, restaurant, Mc Donald, KFC, Pub, until beautiful view.

When I'm in Gui lin, I always wondering where is the sun, its summer but the sun never show up. And now I know the reason why there is no Sun in Gui lin, because the sun is staying at Yangshuo all day... HOT IN HERE, come to mama sunny... wohooo SUMMER! Great weather tho... love it!

For me Yangshuo is the real ancient scenic county than Gui lin, surrounded by many karst peak, beautiful scenery and bordered on one side by Li River. If you an adventurer this place is fit for you. You can rock climbing, tracking, cycling, or biking  there's so much place you can explore in Yangshuo.  

"it is relatively air and noise pollution free, (provided you get away from major roadways), very clean (by Chinese standards) and does not usually suffer from endless massive traffic chaos" (source: wikitravel)

Some place that we visit at Yangshuo...

Moon hill

View from top moon hill

Moon hill is a symbol for Yangshuo, why? because of larger rock series of strange shaped rock formations but this is the only one with a sort of half moon shaped hole in it. 

butterfly cave

It's like the name of the place Butterfly cave so it's all about the butterflies, the cave, bridge, garden, waterfall, lake and also the stalactite of butterflies. Here is a home for more 200 species butterfly, the largest of it's kind in China. That's they say about the Butterfly cave, we are not come inside, we just stay at outside and eat in there :P hhaha...


Another place that you can visit in Yangshuo... (that we don't have a chance to visit... because of my mood and money :P )
Big Bayan Tree, Longmen water cave, Snow lion hills, Green Lotus peak, Chaolong, Fuli town and Dragon bridge.

Some place we only looked from the outside, but I don't know why I can't find the picture of it... 
And this is a some place that I took when we get lost :P

Yulong River

another bridge

OK another picture will be catch up...

We both is really lucky can step up our feet in this beautiful place, we love it and I'll be back again someday and now its time to go, coz we still have place to see...
