A Hidden Paradise | Yangshuo, a Treasure Travel Destination You Can't Miss
In this vast world, there are many little-known niche travel destinations. Perhaps it's an ancient fishing village, with the air filled with the scent of seawater.
Or maybe it's a mysterious forest, gently illuminated by the sunlight. Whether it's through narrow alleys or by lakes in valleys, let travel not be confined to popular spots. During my trip to Guilin, my local friend Mumu took me to an off-the-beaten-path attraction.
We've all learned about Tao Yuanming's 'The Peach Blossom Spring' in our textbooks, and to my surprise, I actually found a place called 'The Peach Blossom Spring' in Yangshuo, which piqued my curiosity. Follow my camera and let's check out the beautiful pastoral landscape.

From Yangshuo back to Guilin Road through Xanadu, because the rainstorm caused the cruise ship to not go through the cave, the experience immediately reduced a lot, other content is relatively model, if you go specifically, the price is not too high.
Before the festival, I went out on a staggered peak and didn't queue up by boat. Unfortunately, I rushed to rise the water and couldn't pass the hole. Some regrets were that there was no place to eat in the scenic spot. There was a farmyard that ate local chicken not far from the scenic spot. Ctrip's special car driver recommended it.
Before the festival, the peak travel, take the boat without queuing, but unfortunately catch up with the rising water, can not pass the hole, the cost is not reduced, the tour time is shortened a lot, some regrets, there is no place to eat in the scenic spot, there are not many performances.
As the first batch of AAAA scenic spots in the country, the first agricultural tourism demonstration points in the country and the recommended tourist destination of the World Tourism Organization, Yangshuo Xanadu Scenic Area shows us a wonderful picture of the ancient bridge, flowing water, pastoral, old village and water ethnic village blending together. Yangshuo "Xanadu" mainly consists of lotus pond, swallow lake, swallow cave, Tongxiang style, primitive tribes and Yuanming Villa.
Xanadu is the ideal life realm pursued by the Oriental people, similar to Plato's Utopia. "Xanadu" has been sought after and deliberately created, especially the Xanadu depicted in Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Source", which is favored. Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and the paradise in Baisha Town, Linyangshuo, in the landscape is quite like the scene in Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Source Notes". This paradise is far away from the noise of the city, surrounded by green mountains and green waters. The veins of the green mountains, flowing water, clouds and clouds, reflection water, water and sky; Characteristic national buildings, hidden in the mountains and rivers; rural villages, vaguely visible.
It’s called it (personal feeling), similar to other scenery in Yangshuo, many other attractions are free, but this also has to buy tickets (ticket and ferry tickets), the traffic is not convenient, if you travel by yourself, it is recommended to rent a battery car
Generally, it is to take a boat turn around, and then the Yi-style house covered bridge comes out. The commercialization is relatively heavy. There are shops all the way. One hour is enough. The ticket is 50 yuan in Guilin.
