Yangshuo Cycling: A Foolproof Guide to the Ten Mile Gallery｜Cycle into a Landscape Painting!

Coming to Yangshuo and not cycling the Ten Mile Gallery is like going to Chongqing and not having hot pot! I've done this classic route three times and have compiled this lazy person's guide for "avoiding crowds + 100% photogenic" results. Check it out! 🚴♀️【Route & Time】 ✅Lazy Essentials Version (3h): West Street → Shima Roundabout → Gongnong Bridge (Photograph the bamboo rafts!) → Big Banyan Tree → Moon Hill → Licun Observation Deck (Free!) ⚠️Important: The sunset at Gongnong Bridge is stunning! It's recommended to depart at 3pm, cycle to Moon Hill, and turn back just in time to catch the sunset. ✅Experienced Player Version (5h+Rafting): Shui'e Di Bamboo Raft Drifting (Choose this section—fewer people!) → Wanjing Wharf to pick up your bike → Yulong River Trail → Shuangliu Yidu Pavilion (The S-bend in the rice paddies is super photogenic!) → Juxian Ancient Village for a wood-fired meal ✨Hidden Gem: Fuli Bridge Reflection! Few people, beautiful scenery, like traveling back in time. 🛵【Bike Rental Tips】 ▫️Electric scooters: 30 yuan/day. Choose one with a full charge + sunshade! Lifesaver for sun protection. ▫️Bicycles: 10 yuan, but the uphill climbs are brutal… unless you're a fitness fanatic. ▫️Don't leave cash as a deposit! Leaving an ID or electronic deposit is safer. 📸【Photography Guide】 1️⃣Gongnong Bridge: Bamboo rafts + Karst mountain peaks = Postcard composition 2️⃣Shuangliu Yidu Pavilion: Capture action shots while cycling through the rice paddies. A white dress is recommended! 3️⃣Licun Observation Deck: Take a photo with the panoramic view of Moon Hill. Even more stunning with a drone. 4️⃣Yulong River Trail: Find a dam! Stand in the middle for instant landscape masterpiece. 🍜【Foodie Bonus】 ▪️Juxian Village "Guqiao Farmhouse": The wood-fired beer fish is so delicious you'll lick the plate. ▪️Osmanthus jelly sold by the grannies on the roadside! 5 yuan a bowl, incredibly refreshing. ▪️Licun "Yueyuan Villa": Bamboo chicken is incredibly fresh, and the chicken soup with rice is *chef's kiss*. ⚠️Hard-Learned Lessons: ❌Don't wear flip-flops! You won't be able to brake going downhill. ❌There are 2h+ queues for bamboo rafts in the afternoon. Go before 9am or after 4pm.
