My work was about to collapse, so I secretly squeezed out time and went to Yangshuo to relax!

Carrying his bags and me, he caught the early flight together. In the sleepy morning, he set off on the journey. The little thing was so happy that he could not rest.

Suddenly he sat eating oranges, and suddenly he wandered around in the cabin,

In fact, it's not delicious, just because I want to go on the boat and have fun.

Looking at the pictures, I still walked around Elephant Trunk Mountain with my luggage. He seemed very tired, and his mood suddenly became melancholy and lost his previous joy.

To be honest, we came to Elephant Trunk Mountain mainly to fulfill our childhood dreams. I remember that we learned that Guilin has the best mountains and rivers in the world, and the waters of the Li River are clear-----,

I remembered the embroidery bag I saw when I was a child and the black and white picture of Elephant Trunk Mountain on my T-shirt.

All this was so real. When I looked at Elephant Trunk Mountain in a daze,

I didn't feel that there were already 2.3 teams passing by, and 80% of them wanted to see us, big and small.

Especially since my mother still carries a big bag, it must shock everyone and I am tired myself.

I like life like Yangshuo. I can open a small shop and sit at the door to see tourists from all over the world. Each has its own style. Be leisurely and happy, take a few pictures with your camera from time to time, and grow old slowly.

West Street

Speaking of which, in such a small town, it can be said that the penetration rate of foreigners is probably higher than that of Xiamen. On the road, there are trucks of Lao Mao, and groups of young Lao Mao riding bicycles and gliding across like the wind. Little thing and I joined in. We rented a bicycle to start our "low-carbon travel".

Our first stop was West Street. The lively West Street reminded me of Gulangyu. Speaking of which, this place is much better than Gulangyu. There is no concentrated smell of oil smoke for barbecues, it is much cleaner, and the store is more distinctive.

A gourd shop made us stop------ I have to sigh with their creativity. The little gourd can actually carve the gourd into various creative works such as mermaids and hanging baskets.

Xiaobao, who liked it? After seeing it, he threw it down and picked up another one. Two or three baskets were busy and sweated. In the end, four people were finally selected and said,"Each of the men in our family has one, let's go after you have chosen it."

Cycling on the Yulong River

Route: Yangshuo--Yulong Bridge-Jinlong Bridge-Fuli Bridge-Baisha-Yangshuo

In 2012, when there were no Gaode maps, we walked around the world with a map without fear, and road signs were the most reliable guides.

I don't want to see the picture or create a sense of difference between the picture and reality, but since I rode here after 7 a.m., the sky is a little foggy. Imagine that the scenery will be more beautiful if the weather is good. Therefore, everything you meet in a good mood is beautiful scenery.

Seeing this board makes people amazed. In such a remote village, the old man who buys rice noodles and even repairs cars also knows English.

When he saw my son and I, we didn't speak. He actually greeted us first,"Hello, help your bike ?" I smiled and left without saying anything,

I kept smiling all the way, and the little thing said,"Mommy, why are you smiling?","I think we are foreigners."

As you can imagine, foreigners have helped us popularize English to small villages.

Also, the people here are very simple and are basically very responsible for asking for directions. I once asked an old lady. After she gave the directions, we had just ridden a few steps when she caught up and said,"The intersection ahead..." Haha, lovely aunt. Like it!

There was also an old man who personally led my son and I to the station. We had a good chat with him along the way. Only then did we realize that he was not from a local area but came to take care of his grandchildren. His sons had all gone out to work.

Seeing a four-story family hotel run by a foreigner not far away, I felt the contrast was too big. Foreigners came here to make money, but our own people had to leave their homes...

This road leads to a deserted path

Riding on this trail, I feel very happy and want to sing the song "Walking on a Country Road..."

The Yulong River is really nice. There are people riding on bamboo rafts everywhere. Whether you sit on it or not, you can sit on it or not.

In the small village near the Yulong River, it was the first time to see so much wheat that was maturing quickly. The boy and I were very excited!

climbing Festival

Yangshuo is not only a paradise for photography enthusiasts, but also a paradise for rock climbers. I came this time because of the event.

butterfly spring

Route: Yangshuo--Totem Ancient Road-Tianlai·Butterfly Spring--Yangshuo (feels like an ordinary attraction)

The suspension bridge in Butterfly Spring is a bit interesting, and the scenery is also good when standing high.

Moon Mountain

Route: Yangshuo-Da Banyan Tree-Yueliangshan Village-Jianshan Temple-Tianjiahe-Yangshuo

I love Gesang flowers so much!!

A different bamboo raft experience

Good uncle.

The young man has been clamoring to build a bamboo raft, but I have never let him sit on it. I want to take him to experience a different feeling of riding a bamboo raft.

So I communicated with the uncle who was resting. The uncle thought for a while and agreed! Awesome!!!

Uncle's granddaughter took some photos of her and gave them to him. The boy also shared the snacks he brought with his little sister and gave the uncle 50 yuan for the bamboo raft. The uncle refused to accept it, saying,"I agreed to let us go and play before. I didn't plan to charge." After several postponements, the uncle accepted it sheepishly. He insisted on asking us to have dinner together, but we declined politely, kind hearted people!!!

West Street at night

Food around West Street

1. red Star Express The restaurant has a very good environment. The large star pendant hanging from the ceiling closely follows the theme of its own "Red Star". The atmosphere of the restaurant, which often plays light music, is very good. It is recommended to try Red Star's pizza. The crust is thin and crispy, the filling is rich, and the portions are full. The pasta tastes different from Pizza Hut, and the ingredients are delicious.

2. Primitive people

This is a Western restaurant located on the corner of West Street. You can see the scenery of two streets and alleys upstairs. The restaurant is extremely popular. The diners in the restaurant stand on every inch of the floor of the restaurant. It is really "overcrowded". The restaurant's signature dish is roasted chicken. If you want to taste the signature delicacy, you need to book one day in advance. In addition, signature pizza, beef mashed potato pie, and blueberry cheesecake are also very good, and almost everyone must order.

3. Xie Third Sister Beer Fish

Third Sister Xie has four beer fish brands in Yangshuo, which have been a time-honored brand for more than ten years. It is famous and the price is slightly expensive. Recommend beer bamboo fish, red Ru pot chicken, Lijiang ginger duck, river snail brewed, shredded taro, etc. Parking space is available. There are many stores with similar store names, and the products are also good. Choose yourself. (Too many people didn't go)

4. MANGO Mango Gang

Mango Gang is a small beverage shop that focuses on mango flavors and sells various juices and smoothies. It has many branches in Yangshuo County. Freshly squeezed mango juice has a mellow taste, moderate sweetness and strong aroma; mango milkshakes also add enough fresh milk to fill the delicious taste.

5. Thin Man Guilin Rice Noodles

Thin Man Rice Noodles are very famous outside, it is no exaggeration to say. There are a wide variety of side dishes for rice noodles, and you can mix them with them at will. The price is affordable and the environment is average. It is very simple to sit on a wooden bench and eat with an enamel bowl. Rice noodles are the breakfast we must eat every day. The flour is calculated by two taels. I usually call it two taels. In fact, I have eaten several restaurants and feel that the taste is thin, and the soup and meat are slightly better. If you don't come by, you can actually pick one on the roadside to eat it with more people, and it will taste fine.

6. No restaurant (West Street Store)

People who have been to Yangshuo will never forget that there is a "no restaurant" here. There are three stores in Yangshuo, No. 82 and 86 West Street, and the "Moon Companion Bay" at Sunshine 100. The family on the 86th has singers singing at night and can also order songs for free. As for why it is called "no", the explanation on the menu is: "There is no beer that is not cold, no bad food, no cheating, no bad service... so there is no reason not to go in."

7. Old local restaurant bar

This is a small restaurant operated on the first floor of the Laodiang Youth Hostel. It is one of the larger and more well-known restaurants in Xingping Ancient Town, with a good reputation. The decoration of the restaurant is full of ancient charm and rich dishes, including Chinese and Western food, and the taste is also good. Recommend firewood pizza, slightly spicy tofu, sour and crispy orange juice duck, and those who like sweets can also order grilled shredded taro. (The strategy was completed but not completed)

Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures. In 2012, I didn't let go of the habit of taking pictures before dinner. I was just about to take pictures when the guy next to me said,"Mom, don't take pictures. It's very strange." Okay, I just missed it.

Fun in riding

I don't know what happened before, but I only found a pile of kumquats on the roadside that seemed to have overturned and scattered on the ground, so, you know, um

The most exciting thing about this trip to Yangshuo is the joy of riding! The road is clean, the road conditions are good, and the air is good!

Forgive us for being children who have never had close contact with cows

The one on the boat is the "cormorant" we learned about in our books.

When the young man saw the bamboo raft, he began to want to "work","Mom, I'm going over there to explore, wait for me!“

A little figure gradually drifting away

Following him, and sure enough, he was here to start work. Take a photo!

Come back from work!

Thanks to the little fan who has always been accompanying us

Thank you to the uncle who rented the car for us. He checked the car every day and gave us a free ride for half a day. Before and after this trip, we rode nearly 15 kilometers a day,

After so many years, my boy and I still can't forget Yangshuo!
