Day 1: Arrival and West Street Wonders 🏨 **The Adventure Begins at Emoji Youth Hostel:** Nestled in the heart of Yangshuo, the emoji-splashed doors of our hostel opened to a world of quaint charm and bustling streets. A perfect blend of comfort and culture (the hostel is also home to a couple of really cute cats 🐱) **Pedal Power:** Post-breakfast, we hopped on our trusty two-wheelers 🚲 for a cycle with a view along the 10 mile Galleria. **Culinary Delights:** Lunchtime had us savoring the famed beer fish, at a riverside retreat. 🎣 **Evening Extravaganza:** As dusk fell, West Street transformed. Lights, music, and laughter 🕺 From sizzling street food to eclectic eateries, our dinner was a feast, followed by drinks in a couple of the local bars 🍻 Day 2: Bamboo Rafts and Peaks **Serenity on the Yulong:** A morning mist hovered over the river as we embarked on a bamboo raft from Shuiedi. **Lunch and Legends:** Refueled with local delicacies, we embarked on a journey to the insta-famed Xianggong Mountain ⛰️ to capture a mountain-top view of the County 📸 **Sky bridges** In the afternoon we took the cablecar to Yangshuo’s famous scenic park where a number of rope bridges hang in the sky connecting footpaths on nearby mountains 🌁 Day 3: Countryside Charms and Sunset Serenades **Market Mornings and Moon Hill:** 🌙 The day began with a leisurely cycle to the iconic Moon Hill. A quick hike rewarded us with breathtaking views. **Ancient Villages** On our final day we spent the afternoon at Xing Ping Ancient Town to explore the markets.
