If you love hiking, you also could hike along the river to find tiny beauty along the river.

If the Reed Flute Cave is not in the schedule of your Guilin tour but you are interested in geology, Silver Cave lying around 27 kilometers from West Street, Yangshuo is endowed with stalactites in different shapes. As it is very popular among Chinese visitors plus August is still in summer holiday, it is recommended that you visit the cave by 11:00 am to avoid the crowd.

Cuiping Hill offers a great option to admire the sunset in Yangshuo Countryside. In the past few years, it has been more and more famed among tourists and photographers. During the sunset, you could also see smoke rising from the village chimneys. Perhaps, some children may play games in the open air before houses standing in the farmland.

8. Laozhai Mountain
Laozhai Mountain features amazing sunrise as well as sunset to appreciate. It is situated around 31 kilometers from West Street. Compared to Xianggong and Cuiping Hills, Laozhai Mountain is the most dangerous hill to explore. Thus, it is not suggested that those whose body conditions are not good, young children or the elder above 60 years old climb up the mountain. If you’d like to enjoy the sunrise and the sunset, you’d need to take a flashlight, wear a pair of antiskid shoes and long shirts.
