Yangshuo is regarded as the most beautiful town in China. Exploring the countryside outside of Yangshuo town center is one of the great highlights of any visit to this region. There are various lovely rivers and streams, numerous fertile rice fields and a plentitude of old-fashioned villages in the area.

The perfect way to appreciate the beauty of Yangshuo is by bicycle. Rent a bicycle and head out to the surrounding countryside. This is a must if you wish to see the countryside up close. You'll come across some lovely untouched spots. You may ride along the small path among green hills, stop by somewhere seeing the local farmers planting rice. Be sure to spend some time exploring the tiny local villages. If you are interested, you can pay a visit to one of the local farmers' houses, chatting and sharing dilicious dinner with them and get a glimpse of rustic Chinese village life.
