Today I will share a Day plan in Yangshuo. - Start by taking a car out of the city to Ruyi mountain 🏔️ Because the shape of the mountain is similar to Ruyi or means wish fulfillment, it takes about 2 hours to walk. It's like you will be hiking 2 peaks. - Return to the Li riverside to see the evening view, including walking along the river, all the way to the small hills along the river. From this area, you will get close to the night walking street in Yangshuo. - After a day of sightseeing, finding something to eat on the walking street is not difficult. You can use the map app to easily walk back to this point at East West Street. And this is an easy day tour in Yangshuo. #Get a discount without relying on luck
