Okay, so it's early morning here in Yangshuo. It's about eight o'clock and the town is still sleepy. There is hardly any people on the street, so we're going to go have breakfast at our favorite Israeli restaurant and then we're going to bike around the area.
We've rented a couple of bikes and we've decided to spend our last morning exploring around the countryside areas of Yangshuo. They were pretty cheap. Just under two dollars for each bike.
Today we are visiting a local hill tribe that just lives a few hours outside of Guilin and we've come here because this community is known for the women's long hair. They grow it out and it's almost a meter and a half long and we're actually going to be watching a performance where they spin their hair and wrap it up and show us how they wear it.
So tonight is our very last night in Yangshuo, a charming little town in Southwestern China, so we're going to show you around the main strip.
background music playing.
So our first stop is going to be the street food market. I haven't eaten in maybe two hours, so it's time to get a snack. So you're officially starving. Starving. Ravenous!
Here we are at the Longji Rice Fields which are located just outside of Guilin. We've had such good luck. Check out the weather and the views behind.
Background music playing.
So we are hiking up to one of the viewing platforms. This is going to be tough because it's like forty degrees outside and we're been told it'll take 30 minutes to one hour depending on our pace. So I'm trying to stay hydrated. Audrey is going to have to workout today.
So we finally made it to Guilin. We've been waiting for things to cool down and now that it is evening we're going to give you a little tour of the place.
Background music playing.
So I'm not sure we want to be walking through that tunnel when it gets a bit later in the day because it is pretty dark in there and there are no lights. And people aren't using their headlights.
Background music playing.
When I was in Guilin two years ago this area right here used to all be traditional homes. One of my favorite restaurants was here. A really good Chinese restaurant. I used to love wandering around here. Now it's just new development.
Background music playing.
So this is the Guilin main square. It gets really busy here at night. Lots of shops, restaurants, eateries. You can do it all here.
Background music playing.
Chinese singing.
Background music playing.
So we are now at the lake and the main attraction are the these two pagodas that light up at night.
Background music playing.
Oh, that mapo tofu looks so good. Really generous sized portion.
Mix it in with my rice a bit.
Please don't be course.
Oh hot! Oh hot!
Too hot to handle?
It's nice and spicy. Really flavorful. Fresh tofu.

We spent three days and two nights in Yangshuo, Guangxi Province! We flew from Shanghai to Guilin then took a bus directly from the airport to Yangshuo's North Bus Station, which cost just 50 RMB per person and took almost 90 minutes. Our hotel is located just south of Yangshuo City in FengLou Village, so we had to transfer to two other mini buses to get there. First we took a mini bus from the North Bus Station to the South Bus Station then a second mini bus from the South Bus Station to FengLou. We had the option to take a cab from North Bus Station directly to our hotel for 50 RMB, but it was easy enough to take public transportation. It was also a lot cheaper! The first bus ride was one RMB per person and the second was just three RMB per person. Can't beat those prices!
The Phoenix Pagoda is a lovely guesthouse that ranks among the top 10 hotels in Yangshuo on TripAdvisor. It's close to the YuLong River and there's a quiet, quaint village just behind the hotel that makes for a lovely evening walk, which is what we did.
But before exploring the village we went for a bamboo raft ride on the YuLong River. The rafts are built for two passengers and the person who steers the raft. We arranged this excursion through our hotel and paid 200 RMB for the hour long ride; we paid extra for the one-way taxi ride. We decided to walk back to the hotel from the drop-off point, which took 20-25 minutes.
See you in four days for our next upload!
And, as always, thank you for watching!! :)

Day 2 in YangShuo was all about biking! We rented two Giant mountain bikes from our hotel, Phoenix Pagoda, for just 50 RMB per bike per day. We set out at about 10:30 with our bikes and map and didn't return to the hotel until around 7:00 pm. We spent most of the day on quiet country roads that wove through villages and rice fields. It was BEAUTIFUL. The terrain was mostly flat although we did encounter two or three hills.
During the middle of the ride we wound up on West Street, which is the heart of YangShuo's tourist industry. It's convenient for shopping, food and accommodation but is absolutely swarming with large tourist groups, especially at night. We recommend staying in other parts of the city and visiting West Street for shopping and dining. We stayed south of YangShuo town in FengLou village, which is close to the YuLong River.
It helped to have a map, but it also led to some frustration because the map was not up-to-date and many of the paths are unmarked. This meant we got lost...a lot. Lol. At one point we were concerned that we wouldn't make it back to a main road before dark, which fortunately wasn't the case. To avoid similar stresses, we recommend starting your day earlier and having a good grasp of distances on the map, which may not be drawn to scale.
Thank you for watching!! And happy travels!!
See you in four days for our next upload! :D

Five years ago, Ian Hamlinton quit his job as a China tour guide in Yangshuo, and moved to the small village of Jiuxian in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Here, he rented six Qing Dynasty houses that he had discovered on a tour. At this time, local villagers couldn’t understand why he would want to rent these old houses, as they had deemed them worthless; therefore, they gave him the nickname, “Fengzi”, which means “crazy” or “madman”.
Later, Ian renovated the houses and created his own boutique hotel called, The Secret Garden Hotel. Ian has helped bring tourism to Jiuxian, and he is fully integrated into the community; he’s somewhat of a celebrity in the area. Ian now considers Jiuxian his home, and he finds it hard to see himself living anywhere else in the world.

So what are you going to have?
Some meat. Oh la la. On a stick?
Alright, happy boy with this meat. Let's see how this tastes. Hot? Very tender. Very smokey. Well seasoned. This is good stuff. So I notice that she put lots of spices while she was cooking this. It's really spicy! I'm just tasting that now. Oh, it's hot!
Oh, that's got some nice kick to it.
Really tasty.
Another favorite of yours. What are you having this time? We're getting the ever popular backpacker meal the banana pancake. Oh la la. This time Chinese style.
Alright, big bite. Piping hot. I can barely hold this.
Mmmmmm. This is a different style. They actually smush the banana and put it right in the middle. As opposed to cutting it into little slices. Is it tasty? Yeah. It's good.
If I had to choose between Guilin and Yangshuo the two most popular cities in this region it's definitely Yangshuo. It's a more historic town. It's a lot more pedestrian friendly and there are great things to eat here.
Man playing flute.
Lady playing flute.
As we were wandering around the night market tonight we had lots of people come up to us and ask to take photos beside us. At least probably four or five times and we finally filmed the last one. It was really cool. We were like celebrities in China. Yeah, almost famous.
So, this market had some pretty cool souvenirs. We saw fake Chinese passports if you want to take one of those home. They also had combs carved out of ox bone. They had these stamps where you can get your Chinese name carved on them and then you can just sign documents that way which is pretty cool.

Yangshuo County
Yangshuo County (simplified Chinese: 阳朔县; traditional Chinese: 陽朔縣; pinyin: Yángshuò Xiàn) is a county under the jurisdiction of Guilin City, in the northeast of Guangxi, China. Its seat is located in Yangshuo Town. Surrounded by karst peaks and bordered on one side by the Li River it is easily accessible by bus or by boat from nearby Guilin. In the 1980s, the town became popular with foreign backpackers, and by the late 1990s packaged tourists began arriving in greater numbers. At that time, domestic tourism represented only a small fraction of the tourists but by 2005 domestic tourists outnumbered foreign tourists by a great margin. Today, the town has become a resort destination for both domestic and foreign travelers.There is a lot to explore in Yangshuo. The West Street of Yangshuo has become a must-visit place. The history of West Street dates back to over 1400 years ago. At that time, there were only a few grocery stores in the street. Now, it has become a popular street that you can find many foreigners walking around the street and even become the boss of a bar or restaurant. There are signs written in both Chinese and English. Due to tourism, most locals in Yangshuo speak English, which is uncommon for Chinese cities.

Guangxi Province Vlog: YangShuo Bamboo Rafting + FengLou Village!
www.instagram.com/timandglo October 11, 2014 We spent three days and two nights in Yangshuo, Guangxi Province! We flew from Shanghai to Guilin then took a bus directly from the airport to Yangshuo's North Bus Station, which cost just 50 RMB per person and took almost 90 minutes. Our hotel is located just south of Yangshuo City in FengLou Village, so we had to transfer to two other mini buses to get there. First we took a mini bus from the North Bus Station to the South Bus Station then a second mini bus from the South Bus Station to FengLou. We had the option to take a cab from North Bus Station directly to our hotel for 50 RMB, but it was easy enough to take public transportation. It was also a lot cheaper! The first bus ride was one RMB per person and the second was just three RMB per ...

Guangxi Province Vlog: Biking the YangShuo Countryside!
www.instagram.com/timandglo October 12, 2014 Day 2 in YangShuo was all about biking! We rented two Giant mountain bikes from our hotel, Phoenix Pagoda, for just 50 RMB per bike per day. We set out at about 10:30 with our bikes and map and didn't return to the hotel until around 7:00 pm. We spent most of the day on quiet country roads that wove through villages and rice fields. It was BEAUTIFUL. The terrain was mostly flat although we did encounter two or three hills. During the middle of the ride we wound up on West Street, which is the heart of YangShuo's tourist industry. It's convenient for shopping, food and accommodation but is absolutely swarming with large tourist groups, especially at night. We recommend staying in other parts of the city and visiting West Street for shopping a...

Ian Hamlinton -- The Yangshuo Madman
Five years ago, Ian Hamlinton quit his job as a China tour guide in Yangshuo, and moved to the small village of Jiuxian in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Here, he rented six Qing Dynasty houses that he had discovered on a tour. At this time, local villagers couldn’t understand why he would want to rent these old houses, as they had deemed them worthless; therefore, they gave him the nickname, “Fengzi”, which means “crazy” or “madman”. Later, Ian renovated the houses and created his own boutique hotel called, The Secret Garden Hotel. Ian has helped bring tourism to Jiuxian, and he is fully integrated into the community; he’s somewhat of a celebrity in the area. Ian now considers Jiuxian his home, and he finds it hard to see himself living anywhere else in the world.

Okay, so it's early morning here in Yangshuo. It's about eight o'clock and the town is still sleepy. There is hardly any people on the street, so we're going to go have breakfast at our favorite Israeli restaurant and then we're going to bike around the area.
We've rented a couple of bikes and we've decided to spend our last morning exploring around the countryside areas of Yangshuo. They were pretty cheap. Just under two dollars for each bike.
Today we are visiting a local hill tribe that just lives a few hours outside of Guilin and we've come here because this community is known for the women's long hair. They grow it out and it's almost a meter and a half long and we're actually going to be watching a performance where they spin their hair and wrap it up and show us how they wear it.
So tonight is our very last night in Yangshuo, a charming little town in Southwestern China, so we're going to show you around the main strip.
background music playing.
So our first stop is going to be the street food market. I haven't eaten in maybe two hours, so it's time to get a snack. So you're officially starving. Starving. Ravenous!
Here we are at the Longji Rice Fields which are located just outside of Guilin. We've had such good luck. Check out the weather and the views behind.
Background music playing.
So we are hiking up to one of the viewing platforms. This is going to be tough because it's like forty degrees outside and we're been told it'll take 30 minutes to one hour depending on our pace. So I'm trying to stay hydrated. Audrey is going to have to workout today.
So we finally made it to Guilin. We've been waiting for things to cool down and now that it is evening we're going to give you a little tour of the place.
Background music playing.
So I'm not sure we want to be walking through that tunnel when it gets a bit later in the day because it is pretty dark in there and there are no lights. And people aren't using their headlights.
Background music playing.
When I was in Guilin two years ago this area right here used to all be traditional homes. One of my favorite restaurants was here. A really good Chinese restaurant. I used to love wandering around here. Now it's just new development.
Background music playing.
So this is the Guilin main square. It gets really busy here at night. Lots of shops, restaurants, eateries. You can do it all here.
Background music playing.
Chinese singing.

So we are now at the lake and the main attraction are the these two pagodas that light up at night.

Oh, that mapo tofu looks so good. Really generous sized portion.
Mix it in with my rice a bit.
Please don't be course.
Oh hot! Oh hot!
Too hot to handle?
It's nice and spicy. Really flavorful. Fresh tofu.

We spent three days and two nights in Yangshuo, Guangxi Province! We flew from Shanghai to Guilin then took a bus directly from the airport to Yangshuo's North Bus Station, which cost just 50 RMB per person and took almost 90 minutes. Our hotel is located just south of Yangshuo City in FengLou Village, so we had to transfer to two other mini buses to get there. First we took a mini bus from the North Bus Station to the South Bus Station then a second mini bus from the South Bus Station to FengLou. We had the option to take a cab from North Bus Station directly to our hotel for 50 RMB, but it was easy enough to take public transportation. It was also a lot cheaper! The first bus ride was one RMB per person and the second was just three RMB per person. Can't beat those prices!
The Phoenix Pagoda is a lovely guesthouse that ranks among the top 10 hotels in Yangshuo on TripAdvisor. It's close to the YuLong River and there's a quiet, quaint village just behind the hotel that makes for a lovely evening walk, which is what we did.
But before exploring the village we went for a bamboo raft ride on the YuLong River. The rafts are built for two passengers and the person who steers the raft. We arranged this excursion through our hotel and paid 200 RMB for the hour long ride; we paid extra for the one-way taxi ride. We decided to walk back to the hotel from the drop-off point, which took 20-25 minutes.
See you in four days for our next upload!
And, as always, thank you for watching!! :)

Day 2 in YangShuo was all about biking! We rented two Giant mountain bikes from our hotel, Phoenix Pagoda, for just 50 RMB per bike per day. We set out at about 10:30 with our bikes and map and didn't return to the hotel until around 7:00 pm. We spent most of the day on quiet country roads that wove through villages and rice fields. It was BEAUTIFUL. The terrain was mostly flat although we did encounter two or three hills.
During the middle of the ride we wound up on West Street, which is the heart of YangShuo's tourist industry. It's convenient for shopping, food and accommodation but is absolutely swarming with large tourist groups, especially at night. We recommend staying in other parts of the city and visiting West Street for shopping and dining. We stayed south of YangShuo town in FengLou village, which is close to the YuLong River.
It helped to have a map, but it also led to some frustration because the map was not up-to-date and many of the paths are unmarked. This meant we got lost...a lot. Lol. At one point we were concerned that we wouldn't make it back to a main road before dark, which fortunately wasn't the case. To avoid similar stresses, we recommend starting your day earlier and having a good grasp of distances on the map, which may not be drawn to scale.
Thank you for watching!! And happy travels!!

I haven't eaten in maybe two hours, so it's time to get a snack. So you're officially starving. Starving. Ravenous!

So what are you going to have?
Some meat. Oh la la. On a stick?
Alright, happy boy with this meat. Let's see how this tastes. Hot? Very tender. Very smokey. Well seasoned. This is good stuff. So I notice that she put lots of spices while she was cooking this. It's really spicy! I'm just tasting that now. Oh, it's hot!
Oh, that's got some nice kick to it.
Really tasty.
Another favorite of yours. What are you having this time? We're getting the ever popular backpacker meal the banana pancake. Oh la la. This time Chinese style.
Alright, big bite. Piping hot. I can barely hold this.
Mmmmmm. This is a different style. They actually smush the banana and put it right in the middle. As opposed to cutting it into little slices. Is it tasty? Yeah. It's good.
If I had to choose between Guilin and Yangshuo the two most popular cities in this region it's definitely Yangshuo. It's a more historic town. It's a lot more pedestrian friendly and there are great things to eat here.
Man playing flute.
Lady playing flute.
As we were wandering around the night market tonight we had lots of people come up to us and ask to take photos beside us. At least probably four or five times and we finally filmed the last one. It was really cool. We were like celebrities in China. Yeah, almost famous.
So, this market had some pretty cool souvenirs. We saw fake Chinese passports if you want to take one of those home. They also had combs carved out of ox bone. They had these stamps where you can get your Chinese name carved on them and then you can just sign documents that way which is pretty cool.
This is part of our Travel in China series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Chinese culture, Chinese arts, Chinese foods, Chinese religion and Chinese people.

wn.com/Tour Of Yangshuo Night Life Visiting A Night Market And Eating Chinese Street Food (阳朔夜市和街头食品) China
A tour of Yangshuo night life including visiting a night market and eating Chinese street food (阳朔夜市和街头食品) China. So tonight is our very last night in Yangshuo, a charming little town in Southwestern China, so we're going to show you around the main strip. So our first stop is going to be the street food market. I haven't eaten in maybe two hours, so it's time to get a snack. So you're officially starving. Starving. Ravenous!

So what are you going to have?
Some meat. Oh la la. On a stick?
Alright, happy boy with this meat. Let's see how this tastes. Hot? Very tender. Very smokey. Well seasoned. This is good stuff. So I notice that she put lots of spices while she was cooking this. It's really spicy! I'm just tasting that now. Oh, it's hot!
Oh, that's got some nice kick to it.
Really tasty.
Another favorite of yours. What are you having this time? We're getting the ever popular backpacker meal the banana pancake. Oh la la. This time Chinese style.
Alright, big bite. Piping hot. I can barely hold this.
Mmmmmm. This is a different style. They actually smush the banana and put it right in the middle. As opposed to cutting it into little slices. Is it tasty? Yeah. It's good.
If I had to choose between Guilin and Yangshuo the two most popular cities in this region it's definitely Yangshuo. It's a more historic town. It's a lot more pedestrian friendly and there are great things to eat here.
Man playing flute.
Lady playing flute.
As we were wandering around the night market tonight we had lots of people come up to us and ask to take photos beside us. At least probably four or five times and we finally filmed the last one. It was really cool. We were like celebrities in China. Yeah, almost famous.
So, this market had some pretty cool souvenirs. We saw fake Chinese passports if you want to take one of those home. They also had combs carved out of ox bone. They had these stamps where you can get your Chinese name carved on them and then you can just sign documents that way which is pretty cool.
This is part of our Travel in China series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Chinese culture, Chinese arts, Chinese foods, Chinese religion and Chinese people.

China in winter: Guilin, Yangshuo, Longsheng travel with GoPro
Christmas is a great time to travel in Mainland China. While you get time off work or school back home, it is not a public holiday in the Middle Kingdom. It is the low season with cheap prices and no crowds. It is also the time when weather is best in the southern and western parts of the country. So we packed a small backpack and got on the bullet train to the famous Guilin in northern Guangxi province. This heavily promoted region is home to many famous sights: the karst scenery around Li River, Longsheng rice terraces, caves, idyllic villages populated by ethnic minorities... It is one of the most visited places in China and recommended by travel guides as an essential part of any China itinerary.

Li River Cruise,Guilin to Yangshuo part 4 - Trip to China part 62 - Full HD travel video
Coming on a Li-river boat cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo can be a great introduction to the clear rivers and the impressive karst mountain landscape this region is famous for and a true highlight of your China trip. Particularly the middle part between Yangdi and Xing Ping is breath-taking with literally hundreds of karst peaks towering up as huge dragon teeth from both sides of the Li-river up the sky which makes one feel rather small, even on a large tour boat.

Travel Photography in Yangshuo, China: Getting the Shot

About the video: This video is the first in a segment on Brendan van Son Travel Photography that I'm calling "Getting the Shot". Basically, what goes down in this segment of the show is simple. I take you through my process of getting a shot out in the field. From the very starting point, in which I am trying to find places to shoot, up to the shot itself, and even the post-processing of the photo, this is a bit of a guide on what goes in to getting a great image. In this first episode of the travel photography channel, I explore the area of Yangshuo, China which really is a fascinating place to shoot travel photography. There are all these really amazing limestone karst landscapes in the Yangshuo regio...

They had these stamps where you can get your Chinese name carved on them and then you can just sign documents that way which is pretty cool.
Today we are visiting a local hill tribe that just lives a few hours outside of Guilin and we've come here because this community is known for the women's long hair. They grow it out and it's almost a meter and a half long and we're actually going to be watching a performance where they spin their hair and wrap it up and show us how they wear it.
Today we're in between Guilin and Yangshuo and we're doing a special river cruise down the Li River.
So this tour is going to be an hour and a half long and we're going to get to enjoy some pretty stunning landscapes, so I'm pretty excited about it.
When I came here two years ago it was hazy and foggy. Now it's a gorgeous glorious day.
Here we are at the Longji Rice Fields which are located just outside of Guilin. We've had such good luck. Check out the weather and the views behind.
So this is the Guilin main square. It gets really busy here at night. Lots of shops, restaurants, eateries. You can do it all here.
Chinese singing.
So we are now at the lake and the main attraction are the these two pagodas that light up at night.
Background music playing.
Oh, that mapo tofu looks so good. Really generous sized portion.
Well, it's hard to believe but our time in Hong Kong has already expired. Today we're taking a train ride. Where are we going? We're crossing over into China.
We are in Guangzho. Apparently there are two train stations. We arrived at the one that is on the East End of the City and we had to get across town to the other and it was difficult but we need to keep going.
So right now we are in Guangzho station waiting for our train to Guilin. And we happen to be waiting in the VIP room.
There is no tea in this tea room.
We're going to Guilin.
Uh, we're looking for number ten.
So we're in the dining cart now getting ready to have dinner. Let's see what is on the menu if we can even read it. We barely got a seat here.
Decision time. So we did manage to find an English menu which makes things a lot easier.
Fish one. Tofu with pork. One. Okay. Rice. One Rice? Okay. Beer. One. Okay. Ah, green tea - one. okay.
So this is the friend fish with a sweet and sour sauce.
Good morning. We are almost in Guilin. Our train has been delayed about an hour and a half.

Christmas is a great time to travel in Mainland China. While you get time off work or school back home, it is not a public holiday in the Middle Kingdom. It is the low season with cheap prices and no crowds. It is also the time when weather is best in the southern and western parts of the country. So we packed a small backpack and got on the bullet train to the famous Guilin in northern Guangxi province.
This heavily promoted region is home to many famous sights: the karst scenery around Li River, Longsheng rice terraces, caves, idyllic villages populated by ethnic minorities... It is one of the most visited places in China and recommended by travel guides as an essential part of any China itinerary.
The highlight of the trip was the 6 hours hike among the Longsheng rice terraces. We stayed overnight in a quiet Tiantou village, accessible only by small path, about half an hour walk from the nearest road. The bamboo-cooked chicken we had for dinner at the wooden guesthouse was still clucking the time we were ordering it.
In the morning we hired a guide and hiked 16km through the beautiful countryside to Ping’an village. The scenery was breathtaking, and although the trek was very demanding on the girls they had a wonderful experience overall.
Another family activity I will be recommending in Yangshuo is to hire a scooter and ride in the surrounding countryside. Yangshuo is probably the only place in China where you can rent a scooter (no driving licence required) and riding with your whole family together through chaotic traffic while taking photos makes you feel like a local.

About the video:
This video is the first in a segment on Brendan van Son Travel Photography that I'm calling "Getting the Shot".
Basically, what goes down in this segment of the show is simple. I take you through my process of getting a shot out in the field. From the very starting point, in which I am trying to find places to shoot, up to the shot itself, and even the post-processing of the photo, this is a bit of a guide on what goes in to getting a great image.
In this first episode of the travel photography channel, I explore the area of Yangshuo, China which really is a fascinating place to shoot travel photography. There are all these really amazing limestone karst landscapes in the Yangshuo region which makes it a great place to go out shooting. The only trouble is that there aren't really that many clean spots along the waterfront to use. We spent the better part of the day searching for somewhere in Yangshuo to photograph that really stood out to us. In the end, we got a place that was only decent.
Anyways, I finally ended up at an old bridge about 15km away from Yangshuo in a place I was somewhat happy to photograph. The light, however, wasn't so happy to see me. It's one of the things we deal with constantly in travel photography. You get to a place, and you really only have a couple days to shoot your travel photos, and you are left in the grips of the light.
In the end, I shot a scene of the bridge with some rushing water coming down in the foreground.
I shot the image at f/14, 13 seconds, ISO 100 at 11mm. I shot the photo on a sigma 10-20mm lens with a Canon 60D. I also used a gradient ND Filter.
I processed the image in Lightroom 4 using the most basic techniques in the develop module.
I hope you like the segment and if you did, please make sure you subscribe to the channel!
