Gillick's World Explores China: Hunan, Guangdong and Guanxi | Page 49

Yangshuo, formerly a haven
for backpackers who wanted
to get away from it all, is a
very busy town that oozes
shops,
restaurants,
wax
museums and cafes.
Pretty well all of the tourists
from the 100 or so boats that
departed Guilin that morning
can be found traipsing through
the streets. But there are
some shady, quiet areas by
the riverfront where you can
relax, enjoy a coffee or beer
and compose your thoughts

In the cool of the Yangshuo evening we
attended “Impression Sanjie Liu”, performed
in the world’s largest natural theatre with the
Li River as the stage and twelve karst hills as
the backdrop. The performance is colourful,
dramatic, impressive and very popular.
