Like me and my family, this year summer we could spend a long vacation in China especially visit Guilin. A trip to Guilin is surely recommended for visitors who love nature, river and mountain landscapes. Our vacation centered in Yangshuo, a small county not far from Guilin. So from our experience including from what we got, what we cannot miss and what must things to do in Yangshuo, we could share it to all the travelers who want admire China impressive landscapes.

1. Just Wandering around Yangshuo by Bike or Walk
Since the town is really small then a walk explore it should be nice enough. If you want to save your time then rent a bike is a best option. By bike, visitors could easier to get through some areas less practical as the paths through the paddy fields. Visitors also could get tour guide who speak excellent English for accompany you touring the village.

2. Yulong River Bamboo Rafting
Yulong River is about five kilometers away from Yangshuo and is a favorite for bamboo rafting. The bamboo raft came into being when the locals set up chairs on a bamboo raft and enough space made for a boatman to sit on the raft.
The bamboo raft is pushed in to the river by the bamboo pole. One can also see the reflection of the raft and oneself in the clear water of Yulong River. It is a peaceful experience as one can lie down on the chair and smell the fragrance of rice, cool breeze, bright sky and clear water.

3. Best Performance of Impression Liu San Jie Show
It is a very spectacular outdoor night show with Li River and its karts mountain as its background. It is directed by movie director Zhang Yimou and is performed by almost 600 local villagers and fishermen, particularly local minority groups as Zhuang and Yao. The show focuses on the lives of the people living around the Li River and projects their culture, music and dresses.
Apart for its natural backdrop, the seasonal lighting like mist, cloudy weather, and moonlit nights gives way to natural lighting. Travelers are highly recommended not to miss this spectacular show.
