We arrived in Guilin at about 6am and then got an hour an half coach ride to yangshou. All of our rooms were ready and the hotel was lovely. After an orientation walk we had some lunch and then met to go on the li river cruise. We drove to the river and then boarded our bamboo rafts and headed down the river to a pebble beach. The scenery was breathtaking exactly as it is in the photo. We saw a fisherman with a cormorant on the pebble beach and spent some time there and then got back on our rafts and headed back down the river. It was soo relaxing to just sit on a boat and take in the amazing scenery even though our raft broke down a couple of times. That evening we went out for dinner and some drinks. The next morning some of us met and went on a bike ride through the countryside which was lovely and a whole other world away from the busy cities we had got used to. We stopped off at moon hill and climbed to the top to get some amazing views. We then went for lunch in a village and cycled back to the hotel. After showering we all went for dinner and out for more drinks but the night life wasn't all that great. The next day we checked out and went for a tai chi lesson which was rather amusing but we picked up a few moves. After shopping for souvenirs and having dinner we got the coach back to the train station and took the 10pm train to hong kong.
