Nanning to Guilin & Yangshuo: A Scenic Transit Through Karst Wonderland

#chinatransit With a short transit in Nanning, I set off to explore the breathtaking landscapes of Guilin and Yangshuo. First stop: Guilin, where the Li River winds through dramatic karst mountains. A boat cruise along the river revealed postcard-perfect scenery—misty peaks, fishermen on bamboo rafts, and the legendary Nine Horses Fresco Hill. Every bend in the river felt like stepping into a Chinese ink painting. Next, I made my way to Yangshuo, a charming riverside town. Biking through the Yulong River countryside, I passed endless rice paddies, ancient stone bridges, and grazing water buffalo. As the sun set, I climbed Xianggong Hill, where the panoramic view of the Li River meandering through the karst peaks was nothing short of magical. From Guilin’s timeless landscapes to Yangshuo’s rural charm, this short transit journey felt like a dream—a perfect escape into the heart of Guangxi’s natural beauty.
