Crystal-clear river water, verdant peaks, pristine villages…renting a bike to cycle around is quite an “in” activity for all kinds of trips to Guilin for its payoff of getting fully immersed in the beautiful surroundings. There are quite some classic and scenic cycling routes at choice:
Yangshuo Town – Chaolong Village – Yulong Bridge – Yangshuo Town
