Spring to the poetically Liriver, the feeling when boating on the Liriver is very great, especially in Spring season with mists and fog swirled, the Liriver looks like a fairyland, also for us just like stepping into a beautiful Chinese painting:))

The river with its backdrop of karst mountains is perfect in Yangshuo. Take the bamboo boats rather than the big cruise boats to get a better feel for life on the river. I saw another Trover had pretty much the identical bamboo canoe and mountain view. Yangshuo is picturesque and you should go see the sound and light show created by the man who did the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony. #river #mountains http://yangshuo-insider.com/liu-san-jie-light-show-in-yangshuo/
