Adventurous Cycling along the YuLong river
Tour Description
This is my personal favorite route and I often take my kid with me. We ride 15 minutes from Yangshuo to YuLong river valley. Then we find a narrow bridge and cross to the other side - away from noise and trucks.
The road is totally peaceful and safe. We soon leave asphalt behind and step on soft soil. We head to the nearest village, passing fishing pools and Pomelo trees.
We stop at the village corner shop for ice cream break and explore local architecture. Houses built with mud bricks over half century ago, some of them even with balcony.
We ride down the hill to another old village squeezed between the river and karst hills. We ride a really narrow street carefully but don't forget to look around. Many surprises awaits us along this road.
The part of the road behind the village is a bit difficult to ride, so we will walk our bicycles. As a reward for our hard work we will have a break in the huge natural cave. Locals built a table inside and we can enjoy drinks sitting properly in this cool cave.
From the cave we ride along the open fields for 15 minutes. We will pass local school, cross another river and then head to Moon Hill. The restaurant at the foot of the hill has rich menu and we will have lunch.
We take our time to enjoy every stop on the route.
Options ( require purchasing tickets) :
1. Climb steps to the top of the Moon Hill
2. Visit the Water Cave nearby ( take a swimming suite with you )
After the long lunch break we head back to Yangshuo. But we won't ride main road, no we not like that. We will take the back road cutting through villages.
So here we are back to our hotel room. Oh, aircon....
