Top best things to do in Yangshuo

Ship cruise

Mainly travelers take the 4 hours cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo; secondly try the 1 hour from Xingping Pier to Fishing Village; some travelers try the local boat from one pier to another before but now these boats disappeared.

Bamboo Rafting

Where can you enjoy bamboo rafting? Yulong River sounds like the best place to experience, some sections of Li River in Yangshuo, and some sections in Fuli or Xingping, etc. If you stay overnight in Banyan Tree Resort, you will be able to do the raft arranged by the hotel because it is located by the Li River.

Hiking

Hiking is one of the closest ways to get close to nature, so hiking the Li River is the closest way to pick up the Li River; there are hiking routes on the Li River ranging from a few hours to several days, so we can pick a section of the Li River to hike, with the highlight being the 22km hike from Yangdi to Xingping, which takes about 6-8 hours. On arrival at Xingping, you can choose a nice boutique hotel for a night's rest or go directly to Yangshuo for an overnight stay.
