In the middle of the spectaculair mountains of Guangxi, a beautifull part of China, is situated the city of Yangshuo. It is easy to travel to from Guangzhou or Guilin and a very relaxed location. There are many activities to do, such as hiking, biking, rock-climbing, floating on one of the rivers, fishing with cormorants and lots more. In the city there is a variety of shops, bars and restaurants and a good location to sleep is Moes cafe and bar. On contrary of what the name suggests, on ground Floor there is a quiet place to drink. The rooms are good and cheap and the beds are OK. The hostel is situated in town-centre, has wifi, laundry-service and as surprise for staying: half an hour massage for free. It is very professional and therefore I booked more. On the whole a very relaxed staying after travelling a lot yet. - bicycle tours - camel-back tours - cooking lessons - rock climbing - bamboo rafting - white water rafting - kayaking -massage -cooking lesson
and many more!
