Yangshuo
 Yangshuo,
a small town by the Li River, is well-known for its
super natural landscape. With comfortable climate, ever
green vegetation, abundant rivers and jade-like hills,
it is reputed as the fairyland under heaven. Thus goes
the famous saying: Guilin's Landscape tops those elsewhere,
while Yangshuo's landscape tops that of Guilin. The
best known scenic spots include the Green Lotus Peak,
YangShuo Park, Scholar's Page-Boy Hill, Old Banyan Tree
and Moon Hill. Each scene differs from another with
its characteristic. Even the same scene varies with
the change of seasons and in different temperatures
within the same day.
 Yangshuo
is famous not only for its green hills and clear water,
but also for its cultural atmosphere, which is symbolized
by the West Street-a street of western flavor. The 600-meter
long street is lined with small shops and restaurants,
selling souvenirs, serving local dishes to the visitors.
Many foreigners are inhabited in this street, hence
its another name Foreigner Street. Here the waiters
in bar, restaurant, internet cafe and workmanship shop,
ordinary residents and even the granny selling the fruits
can speak English fluently.
