Yangshuo


Yangshuo is the poster child for China, picturesque, friendly and bike friendly.  The smoke in the background is from fireworks for a wedding party.
It flooded the first couple of days we were there.  The stone causeway to our lodge was 4' under water.  Fortunately there was an alternate route.

Friends from Canada joined us and we biked along the rivers and through the ancient towns.




This area supports two rice crops annually.  The rice straw hats that always seemed so comical to me now made a lot of sense in the sweltering heat.
