We rented bicycles and began the day by stopping at a produce stand for some fruit. After biking for about 45 minutes, we found a cave that was being turned into another tourist attraction. Then a man recruited us to take a ride down the river in a bamboo raft. The guy told us that the bicycles wouldn’t be a problem. He was right except that they made it really hard for him to push us. The water was pretty shallow in parts and we actually had to lift the raft over parts that should have been underwater. By the third time, I thought the raft might come apart! But the mountains and the water were absolutely beautiful! The only bad part of the “cruise” was that I saw a dog on the side bank that had had its head cut off. Very sad.
After we finished the cruise, we biked back to Yangshuo and hiked up to a TV tower to see the view! Beautiful!! We left Yangshuo for Guilin as it was getting dark so that we would be able to make our flight the next morning! We ate dinner again at the place from a couple of days before-just as good and…they remembered us!
