After staying at home for a long time, I will always miss the outside world, the green mountains and green waters.

Being on the road has always been a very happy thing for me. During the few months at home, I always look forward to seeing the sun again.

So I came to Yangshuo again and wanted to sweep away the haze of this period in the green mountains and clear waters, and find a better day among the green mountains and clear waters.

? Day1?? Check in?? Backyard. Hostel?? Yulong River

This time when I came to Yangshuo, I didn't choose to use public transportation such as high-speed rail. Taking advantage of the fact that the highway was still free, I decided to take a self-driving trip to Yangshuo.
It is quite convenient to drive from Guangzhou to Yangshuo. Starting from Guangzhou, passing through Huaiji, and then to Hezhou, the distance from Guangzhou becomes further, and the scenery along the way becomes more exquisite and comely.

When I came to Yangshuo, I chose to stay at the backyard hostel in the Yulong River Dayuan Scenic Area. It was not the first time I came to Yangshuo, so I didn't set the hotel in the county town, but settled it in the quieter Yulong River.

The Yulong River has always been the core scenic spot of Yangshuo. Here, the green mountains on both sides of the river are beautiful and have always been named Shili Gallery. The backyard hostel is located across the river from the Danyan Tree Scenic Area in the Yulong River. It is built next to the water. Here, you can see the flowing water of the Yulong River and see the bamboo forest. Spend a quiet time is the biggest expectation and purpose of this trip.

Arriving at the backyard inn, he put down his luggage and stayed in the inn for a long time. In Yangshuo in spring, the sunshine may not be bright, but Guilin, which is misty and misty, has a more beautiful flavor.

The backyard hostel is not high. On each floor of the five-story house, you can see the bamboo forest, the flowing water of the Yulong River, and the beautiful scenery in the Shili Gallery.
Walking into the room, the room is also very suitable for a vacation. The room area is not small. When you walk into the door, you will see a large bathtub. Taking a bath during the journey is also a good way to wash away the fatigue of the journey and relax your body and mind.

The decoration of the room is quite classical, and many traditional furnishings are used. These furnishings can also show the owner's care and ingenuity.

Of course, what I like most is the balcony of my room. On each floor, the balcony faces the Yulong River. It is a very enjoyable thing to directly see the big banyan tree that has been around for thousands of years.

Not only do I stay in my room here, but I sit on the first floor with flowers in full bloom. It is also a happy thing to watch the clear swimming pool and have a cup of coffee, look at the flowers, read books, and be in a daze.

Of course, when I came here, I didn't live up to the beauty of spring. After staying at the inn for a while, I had a cup of coffee. The aroma of coffee in the garden surrounded by flowers washed away the fatigue of the journey. Next, of course, I had to see the beautiful scenery nearby here.

?? leisurely afternoon tea

In the afternoon, I had no choice to continue going out. Just stay in the inn.
Next to the swimming pool of the inn, I ordered an exquisite afternoon tea. Although the weather was a little cold and I couldn't go into the swimming pool, I just lay lazily in the tent next to the swimming pool and served a delicious cake and a cup of aroma. With strong coffee, half asleep and half awake, it was a leisurely and beautiful afternoon.

? hotel dinner

He didn't choose to eat dinner out, so he settled it directly in the inn.
Yangshuo's green mountains and green waters produce a variety of fresh ingredients. These ingredients in the mountains and rivers are always exceptionally fresh and delicious. If the most famous one is, it must be the various river delicacies produced in the Lijiang River.

The water of the Li River is clear, which breeds all kinds of fresh river delicacies. Lijiang fish is definitely a delicacy that cannot be missed, and fish was also chosen as the main ingredient for dinner.

The chef slices the fresh Lijiang fish and meat, frying the fish bones until fragrant, and then stews the soup as the soup base. Then he adds the fresh fish and rolls it slightly in the fragrant fish soup. You can put on chopsticks and eat it. The fish is tender, fresh, sweet, simple, but especially delicious because of the freshness of the ingredients and the fish soup that the chef has put in great effort.

There are other dishes that are equally delicious.

? Day2 Walking through Rock Village

Next to it is the countryside here. Because of geographical advantages, there are many B & Bs in the village. The quiet village and various exquisite B & Bs full of the boss's thoughts seem to have become a unique scenery here.

Of course, there are also scenic spots such as Liu Sanjie's former residence, which are also worth visiting. In Guilin, Sanjie Liu has always been a legendary name. This legendary woman with a moving voice left a beautiful legend here of pursuing love and freedom, which has been passed down to this day.

What Sanjie Liu's former residence records is the story of this legendary woman. The house seemed slightly dilapidated, but it was this smell that was most suitable for the feeling of "former residence" in my memory. There are many murals posted on the outer wall of the house. The murals show agricultural silhouettes of Guangxi. This flavor from the countryside is also particularly touching.

Sister Liu Beer Fish?

For lunch, I chose Sister Liu's Beer Fish to taste Yangshuo's specialties.
Beer fish is Yangshuo's specialty food, and there are many beer fish you can see on the street. But Sister Liu's beer fish is always a taste that she has always liked in Yangshuo.

Determining whether beer fish tastes delicious requires fresh ingredients, and sauces are also an indispensable part. Fish from the Li River and sauces derived from intangible cultural heritage are paired with delicious beer fish.

Of course, in Sister Liu's beer fish, it's not just beer fish.

It is made by wrapping pork with fresh leaves. The pork absorbs the natural and fresh aroma of the leaves and does not feel greasy. Even if a few more pieces are added, it will not feel greasy.

The pork ribs are very tender and tender, and the parts with the bones and meat are very sweet and fragrant to chew.
By using roasting cooking methods, the oil in the meat can be forced out. Add delicious seasonings to show the sweet aroma of the ribs.

Before and after the Qingming Festival, there were many beautiful wild vegetables in Yangshuo, and wild onions were one of them.
Scrambling eggs with wild shallots does not require too complicated cooking. The aroma of native eggs and sweet shallots are very delicious.

Lipu taro in Guangxi is very famous, full of fragrance and very pink glutinous.
Use a pressure cooker to make taro. The taro is soft and glutinous. It is very delicious simply.

Wild bamboo shoots are only available in spring. They are very refreshing and have a very fresh aroma.
Add pork belly, the sweet aroma of pork belly fat makes the bamboo shoots more fragrant.

The small Lijiang River shrimp is very fresh and sweet. The chef deep-fried it first, and then added sweet tea leaves to cook it. The simple Lijiang River shrimp becomes fragrant, while retaining the original sweetness and refreshing. It is definitely a very good dish. Serve with wine.

When I come to Sister Liu's beer fish, the highlight is of course the beer fish here.
The sesame sword from the Li River is used. The meat of this fish is firm, fresh and sweet, and there are few fish bones, so you don't have to worry about trouble eating it.
The chef first kills and cleans the fish, and then serves the table. The waiter will add green pepper slices, ginger slices, onions and other ingredients to the pot and fry it until fragrant, then add the slaughtered fish, finally add the sauce, and pour in the home-brewed beer. You can wait for the delicious beer fish to be cooked.

Sister Liu also carefully prepared a small hourglass. The sand leaked out. The beer fish was cooked and the lid was opened, and the aroma was overflowing. Fresh and sweet fish and fragrant sauce are the most touching taste of beer fish.

Using bamboo tubes to store chicken meat and stew chicken soup is a unique cooking method in Guilin.
The fragrance of bamboo seeps into the chicken soup, making the local chicken firm and very delicious.

Now Sister Liu's beer fish can also bring the delicacy of beer fish home. The special sauces here can also be brought home. The sauces in bags are very convenient and are also very suitable as a souvenir to Yangshuo.

I got up the next day, enjoyed a simple and delicious breakfast at the inn, and continued to set my travel destination at the Yulong River.
There is always a lack of beautiful scenery along the Yulong River. Since it is called the Shili Gallery, there are naturally paintings everywhere. Walking here means walking in a picture scroll.

The width of the Yulong River also changes countless times due to the mountains and special karst landform here. On the spacious river, the Yulong River flows quietly. On days without wind, the wide river is like a quiet mirror. Quiet and moving. On the narrow river, the river water becomes unrestrained, which also has a unique flavor.

On the edge of the Yulong River, there are many villages scattered. Local farmers also planted many various plants on the Yulong River.
In different seasons and different months, different flowers will bloom along the Yulong River. If the most touching thing in March and April, it must be the rapeseed flowers here.

Under the spring light in March and April, patches of rapeseed flowers are bright and golden. The sea of rapeseed flowers is a unique beautiful scenery under Qingxiu Mountain here.

Gongnong Bridge View Yulong River View Sunset

The Yulong River is the place with the most concentrated beautiful scenery in Yangshuo, and the Gongnong Bridge here is one of the landmarks here.

The Gongnong Bridge is located next to the Yulong River Danyan Scenic Area, which is the starting point and ending point of touring the Yulong River by bamboo raft. When there are many tourists, you can always see the scene of hundreds of boats competing for the current here, which is very lively and moving.

When I came to Gongnong Bridge this time, I did not have the prosperous bamboo rafts, but this tranquility brought a different scenery and taste to Gongnong Bridge. On the Gongnong Bridge, there is a big banyan tree on one side. The Yulong River passes through the beautiful mountains here and flows next to the big banyan tree, which is quiet and moving.

? Local vegetables

In the evening, I choose to eat at local dishes nearby here.
Local dishes sound quite rural, but in fact, local dishes use many local specialties. Moreover, adhering to the principle of not eating from time to time, we choose a variety of seasonal ingredients to make them fresh and delicious.

The fish in the Lijiang River are fresh and sweet. The small fish are fried first and then stir-fried with peppers and other ingredients. The fish is sweet and fragrant, coupled with the aroma of other ingredients, making it very exciting.

Lijiang shrimp are fresh and sweet and boiled directly. As long as it is dipped in a little soy sauce, the delicacy of the shrimp can be completely brought out. It is simply delicious.

Leigong fungus is a characteristic fungus here and can only be found after rain. The Lei Gong mushroom is refreshing, and the common sour beans and peppers here are stir-fried together, making it very delicious.

The fish in the Li River are steamed and the rice eel strips are fried in oil. They are both very clear, sweet and delicious ingredients.
There is no need for complicated cooking, as long as the original flavor of the ingredients is highlighted, it is already very delicious.

The local local chicken has firm meat and refreshing skin. Add the chicken fir mushroom to make the soup, and the soup is fresh and sweet. The chicken is also very delicious.

The big snail meat is refreshing. When brewed with chopped pork, the taste of the pork and the snail meat is combined to make Yangshuo's famous dish, snail wine.

The simple local dishes retain the delicacy of the ingredients, but they are simple but have a beautiful return to nature.
Among the green mountains and clear waters, the real delicacy is not the delicacies, but the local ingredients. A meal of local dishes can make gourmets feel extremely satisfied and beautiful.

? Day3 Qingjiang Ferry

On the third day, I slept in the inn until I woke up naturally, and went to Qingjiangdu.
It takes about 20 minutes by car from Yangshuo County to Qingjiangdu.

Qingjiang Ferry covers a huge area. From the foot of the mountain to Qingjiang Ferry located on the top of the mountain, the scenery is beautiful. Looking at the countryside and scenery at the foot of the mountain from the middle of the mountain, there is a beautiful and peaceful taste.

Qingjiang Ferry has a large area. When you walk into Qingjiang Ferry from the gate, you can see the flavor of countryside.

Qingjiangdu has its own farm, its own mountains and lakes. This is why the ingredients in Qingjiangdu are all produced on their own farms and are exceptionally fresh.

Here, you can cook delicious food by yourself using the ingredients here. Large earthen kilns are most suitable for roasting earthen chickens. Wash the earthen chickens here, coat them with seasonings, wrap them in tinfoil, and place them in the earthen kiln for 40 minutes. The earthen chicken kiln can be eaten directly.

Of course, in addition to local chickens, corn, sweet potatoes and other ingredients can also be baked together in the earthen kiln. The delicious food produced in the earth kiln through the most traditional way is simple and simple, maintaining the original freshness and beauty of the ingredients, and is already very moving.

In the restaurant in Qingjiangdu, there are also many simple and delicious dishes to choose from.

We chose a poolside barbecue at the inn for dinner.
In the peaceful night sky of Yangshuo, the charcoal fire next to the swimming pool is dotted with stars. The chef uses charcoal fire to roast all kinds of delicious food here.

The oysters are fresh and sweet, the pork belly is sweet but not greasy, and the refreshing beer. It's a beautiful night to fall asleep in the sweet air here with a slightly tipsy feeling...

Day4 Outdoor expansion off-road vehicle base ATV off-road vehicle?

Because I had been to Yangshuo many times, I didn't choose to go to familiar attractions such as West Street in the afternoon, but chose a more niche and fun project.

Off-road is an activity full of hormones. The roar and lines of off-road vehicles can always make people excited. Running over mud roads and driving through ponds is the greatest joy of off-road vehicles.

To expand the off-road vehicle base outdoors, you can choose from several different off-road vehicles such as beach motorcycles, go-karts and SUVs. Each off-road vehicle has a different exciting feeling.

The ATV motorcycle has the strongest torque, while the go-cart chassis has the lowest, allowing you to feel the speed of flying close to the ground. As for SUVs, because of their extremely high chassis, they can easily pass on gravel roads or dirt roads, and even drive directly in the river bed without pressure. They are most suitable for challenging various road conditions.

When you get on the off-road vehicle, the roar of the accelerator sounds, which always makes people feel blood boiling. Driving an off-road vehicle and driving through country roads, he deliberately chose either muddy or rugged paths. On both sides are the beautiful mountains of Yangshuo and the rugged roads at his feet. Driving through such places is the most interesting way to play an off-road vehicle.

? written in the back

There is always a lot of reluctance to part with the Kaiyang New Moon. I can't part with the green mountains and clear waters here, and I can't part with the sweet air here. But perhaps what is even more reluctant is the leisure here. It lacks the prosperity and rush of a city. Being in a daze here, wasting a lot of time, tasting delicious food, and feeling the beauty of original ecological ingredients is the reason why I came to Yangshuo.
