As the old saying, "Guilin´s scenery is the most beautiful in the world; Yangshuo´s scenery is far more superior to that of Guilin´s".

Located at the lower reaches of the Lijiang River, Yangshuo County covers an area of 1,428 square km and has 20,000 hectares of land used for agricultural cultivation. It has a population about 300,000, making up of different ethnic groups such as Han, Zhuang, Yao, Hui, etc.

The biggest attraction is Green Lotus Hill (Bilianfeng), where a dozen peaks seeming to burst open like the petals of a lotus flower.

Yangshuo is located at the center of the "green Hill." The scenery around Yangshuo--the miles of river and mountains stretching from Rooster Comb Rock to Xingping--is one of the most enchanting landscapes in China. The most notable scenic spots of Guilin are in Yangshuo, for example, Nine-Horse Painted Hill, Yellow Reflection Point, Xingping Village, Lotus Cave, Young Scholar Hill, Snow Lion Ridge, the Big Banyan Tree, Moon Hill, and Dragon River. Moreover, many consider the landscape of the plains and the villages to be like a beautiful picturesque poem. Yangshuo was one of the first counties to be appointed as a national tourism area for each year 1.5 million visitors are attracted to Yangshuo.
