Yangshuo — DOZENSOFLIVES

**The karst landscape from the train approaching Guilin**

Yangshuo, a county town 65 km south of Guilin city, Guangxi Province is characterized by breathtaking landscape scenery, a holiday atmosphere, and rustic culture. The section of the Li River between Guilin and Yangshuo is the most attractive stretch, and there are several activities you can try in order to experience the local life and culture.

I spent three months volunteering in the area, so all i can do here is to list what to do around this beautiful place.
