Take a bike ride around Yangshuo and meet China's countryside. The scenery is impressive. The prosperity brought by tourism is a little evident, but the roads are still mud paths with occasional colourful graves, and everyone is very happy to see you. Yangshuo city in itself is just a tourist mecca, full of pubs, hotels, marketplaces, living off tourism. Young people from all over come to teach and learn English, have fun, meet other young people. (Kind of reminds me of Antigua, Guatemala, but without the cultural tradition). A great place to party and getting laid, no place to appreciate China. And a world away from the simplicity and beauty of the countryside just around it.
