Cycling Check-in: Rent a small electric scooter or bicycle, start from West Street Yangshuo, and follow the Yulong River all the way. Recommended section: Chaoyang Wharf → Gongnong Bridge, where the karst peaks reflect in the water, as if you are traveling inside a painting. Every photo looks like a masterpiece! Must-visit spots: ◦ Gongnong Bridge: The best spot to watch bamboo rafts on the Yulong River and take stunning photos of the raft groups. ◦ Moon Hill: At the end of the Ten-Mile Gallery scenic area, a natural stone arch on the mountain looks like a bright moon hanging in the sky. Navigate to "Licun Viewing Platform" to get the same RMB-style landscape for free. ◦ Big Banyan Tree: Many scenes from the movie "Liu Sanjie" were filmed here, experience the classic movie scenes. 2. Bamboo Rafting: Recommended section from Shui E Di to Wanjing, 50 minutes for 160 RMB per raft, thrilling ride over 4 dams! Tip the boatman 20 RMB to unlock hidden photo spots. 3. Off-the-Beaten-Path Photo Spots: ◦ Navigate to "Anzaiye Homestay," turn left on the small road opposite, there is a free popular swing + mirror platform with amazing reflections. ◦ Near Shui E Di Wharf, you can photograph fishermen casting nets (paid staged photos recommended). 🍜 Food Recommendations 1. Beer Fish: Must-try at Jima Village farmhouse, fresh fish killed on the spot, cooked with Lijiang beer, tastes amazing. 2. Stuffed Snails: Another local specialty, snail meat mixed with minced meat, rich in flavor. 3. Chilled Mung Bean Soup: At the old lady’s dessert shop in Jiuxian Village, 3 RMB per bowl, refreshing and thirst-quenching. ⚠️ Notes 1.
