In south east China in Guanxi province there is a town surrounded by the beautiful calcareous rocks raised from the flat green rice fields. The Li River crosses this paradise country and gives it fresh water, plenty of fishes and more charm that crowds of tourists enjoy traveling by boat or riding on bike around. In the past Yangshuo was a small, calm fisherman village settled on the bank of the Li River. Now it is bustling resort called by the local people 'global village'. There are hundreds of foreign travelers, plenty of english teachers, chinese tourists and students learning english in many language schools have just opened in Yangshuo. You can feel here more easy and free like nowhere in China. In one word it is nice place to meet new friends and enjoy together the amazing scenery of green hills and rice fields in the day and beer after the sun set.
But where is strange food, weird customs, culture shock? In westernized Yangshuo there are good pubs, young people like to party every night, bakeries, pizzerias, internet, and even camels...globalization.
What to do here? After four days of drinking beer in english pub with pool I decided to move my heavy ass and check what is around the corner.
The paradise valley of Li River.
An ancient inscription in the cave
Drinking beer with shopkeeper.
an old house
our neighbours open air kitchen
a very nosy guy
and less nosy people.
Finally I found my favorite snacks on the food market near the bus station and the main street in Yangshuo. Pig's tongues and tails. One guy prepared it especially for me.
Than I felt some terrible but unknown smell. What is that...chicken, duck?no...It was something better what Chinese love particularly. Dog meet is a delicacy. It has excellent taste and makes your body warm during the cold winter nights.
