Travelers' paradise, Yangshuo If you come down from Guilin along Lijiang, you will come across Yangshuo, a backpackers' paradise. The starting point of the Yangshuo tour is Xijie Street, which is full of various shops. This place, which was formed 200 years ago at the end of the Qing Dynasty by Western merchants, has a unique landscape where the oriental atmosphere of China and the Western atmosphere are combined. There is a saying that "Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world, and Yangshuo is the best in Guilin", which is why the surrounding scenery of Yangshuo is so outstanding. If you ride a bamboo raft along the Yulong River and enjoy the magnificent scenery of the mountains and rivers, you will feel like you are on a journey of immortality. When darkness falls over the river, the stage of Yinxiang Liusanjie, the world's largest water opera that embodies the lives of ethnic minorities, unfolds. Immerse yourself in the fantastic atmosphere of the large-scale water performance created by 600 actors on the wide river and mountains. Traditional life of ethnic minorities Longsheng Dachai Village, located deep in the mountains. This place, with its impressive terraced rice fields spread out on the mountain peaks at 1,800 meters above sea level, is the home of the Yao people, known as the longest-haired people in the world. The Yao people were driven to the mountainous regions to escape the invasion of the Han Chinese, but they have maintained their own traditional culture without losing it. Their daily lives, seen up close, are very similar to our rural areas. From the Yao people who never lose their warm smiles despite their hard lives to the Dong people who perform traditional music that has been passed down from generation to generation... Let's meet the ethnic minorities of Guilin who live in the embrace of beautiful mountains and rivers.
