In this video we travel to Yangshuo in Guangxi province and visit some local markets. We get up close with some very funky alcohol and we ask the question: Do Chinese still eat dog meat?
Yangshuo is a rock climber's paradise with 1000's of karst peaks dotting the small town in Guangxi Province. If you are visiting I would definitely give this place at least 3-5 days to see all the amazing nature and culture.
Yangshuo County (simplified Chinese: 阳朔县) is a county under the jurisdiction of Guilin City, in the northeast of Guangxi, China. Its seat is located in Yangshuo Town. Surrounded by karst peaks and bordered on one side by the Li River, it is easily accessible by bus or by boat from nearby Guilin and it takes about an hour drive from Guilin airport to Yangshuo town.
In the 1980s, the county became popular with foreign visitors engaging in backpacker tourism, and organized tours began by the late 1990s. At the time, domestic tourists represented only a small fraction, but they soon outnumbered foreign tourists by a greater margin in 2005. Today, the county is a resort destination for both domestic and foreign travelers.
The history of West Street dates back over 1,400 years ago and this is a great place to start your Yangshuo adventure in town. Since the street is popular with locals and foreigners alike, signs are written in both Chinese and English. Because of the relatively high number of foreign visitors, many locals speak some English, unlike most Chinese towns of its size.
The Yangshuo region has numerous locations for climbing, most easily accessible by bicycle, public bus, or taxi van. The most famous of these crags is Moon Hill, with several lines graded 5.13 in the Yosemite scale. Other crags of note include Low Mountain, Twin Gates, Baby Frog, the Egg, Bamboo Grove, and Wine Bottle Cliff.
