Yangshuo

Our first stop on the tour was at a place called Yangshuo, in the southern province of Guangxi. It was a good place to break us in gently, as there was still Western food and toilets but the Chinese way of life was very much present. We had a lovely couple of days taking in the surrounding countryside by way of a bike ride and boat trip, going to see a local show and doing a cookery course, with varying degrees of success!

Some of the 20,000 limestone karsts that line the banks of the Li River.
