BEST VPN FOR CHINA: To access any western social media platforms in China, you’re going to need a VPN on your phone and laptop. Ivacy offers a great service for a very affordable price (ad):
Here’s a detailed breakdown of information as mentioned in the film (a table of contents, if you will):
0:30 – Views from the Train Ride from Hong Kong to Yangshuo
1:14 – Arriving in Yangshuo: What is the town like?
A bit of background on the town and how it might not be the nature serenity you are looking for.
1:35 – How to get to the Yangshuo TV Tower Viewpoint (hard climb)
The best views in Yangshuo are accessible from the town centre, but it’s a pretty long climb up to the top of a mountain. We followed the instructions on how to get there by ILP Blog, a really good article. Remember to bring 10 Yuan per person:
3:23 – This is what the TV Tower view looks like
4:03 – The Views from Yangshuo Park (easy climb)
A much less physically demanding climb to some nice views over the town. It’s a really nice public park too, definitely worth checking out.
4:28 – Our Accommodation, Sudder Street Guesthouse
Great place to stay, just outside the town centre. An amazing pool, with great views. Dorms are £3 a night and private rooms (en-suite) with a balcony are £18.
4:55 – Yangshuo National Park
This is where you’ll spend most of your time and where you will find the famous bamboo rafts that you’ve seen on Instagram. We rented bicycles to get around, but some people rent mopeds/motorbikes instead. You’re going to want the freedom of your own transport.
6:00 – Here’s the bamboo rafts
6:26 – Moon Hill, my favourite sunset spot (and favourite part of Yangshuo in general). A natural archway that has featured in one of the Transformers films I think.
And thats it. Any questions, let me know in the comments!
