Country: China
Duration:
08:00 hours
Description
Capture iconic photos of Yangshuo on a guided tour with transfers. Visit Xingping Ancient Town, the RMB 20 banknote viewpoint, a cormorant raft, Ten-Mile Gallery, and Fuli Bridge.
Begin with pickup from the designated service area and travel to Xingping Ancient Town. Explore its historic streets and traditional atmosphere before continuing to the famous viewpoint associated with the landscape on the reverse side of China’s RMB 20 banknote. Bring a RMB 20 note for a classic comparison photograph.
Continue to a pre-arranged photography location featuring a bamboo raft and traditional cormorant-fishing-inspired scenery. The photography-site fee is included in your booking, so you do not need to negotiate or arrange this stop independently. This is primarily a photography experience, not a standard bamboo-rafting activity. The raft, river, mountains, and traditional visual elements create one of the most characteristic images of the day.
Next, travel through Ten-Mile Gallery, where limestone peaks rise beside the road. Depending on traffic, weather, and local conditions, selected stops may be made for mountain and landscape photography.
Continue to the Yulong River, where the scenery becomes quieter and softer. Photograph bamboo, bridges, reflections, riverbanks, and surrounding karst peaks.
The final major stop is Fuli Bridge, a traditional stone arch bridge framed by water, greenery, and mountains. Explore different viewpoints around the bridge before beginning the return journey.
