3. Yulong River

   Yulong River a tributary of the Li River, smaller and quieter. Cycling is one of best ways to get close to the countryside of Yangshuo. Follow the beautiful Yulong River past rice paddies, wallowing water buffalo and farmers crop. The fields vary in colors according to the change of seasons. Cycling path is flat, by bicycle is easy for most people. If you look for an more comfortable way to tour, I recommend you to choose electric scooter. Another highlight of a trip to Yulong River is taking a bamboo raft. But this is an optional activity, you can ask your tour guide to book for you on site. No motorized raft, and row by a real bamboo-raft man. Rafting quietly and casually on the beautiful Yulong River. You can see the hills on both banks in different shapes. There are thick bamboos along the river and the banana trees are green in four seasons. Essential rafting part: Shui E Di 水厄底 - Gongnong Bridge 工农桥 (Duration: 40 mins), Price: RMB 160 per raft.
