Yangshuo is great place to get lost on a bike. As seems to be the case for Asia in general, outdoor maps, if you can find them, are rubbish. Your bound to get confused if you attempt to follow them but they do provide just enough info to keep you from getting totally lost. In otherwords you will have some sense of what direction you should be headed. That along with smiles, hand signals, and a couple of words exchanged with locals along the way and your fine. For 10 to 20 yuan (2-3 USD) you can rent a decent bike for the entire day.
I’ve spent two days biking around the outlying areas of Yangshuo. Today I rode a long loop and met up with a young couple from Beijing. One works as a interpreter. How convenient.
Although Yanghsou is more or a less busy loud overrun super scenic mecca for tourists if your willing to pedal a bike five minutes out of town your in a totally different rural world. Here are a few photos from a couple of rides….
