We took a river cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo and saw some amazing scenery. The river cruise had a lunch buffet with Guilin/Yangshuo local delicacies. In Yangshuo the first day was a bit rainy so we had a mellow day relaxing in the boutique hotel Aspara amidst rice paddies and lotus flowers. Many of us had massages and we did lots of laundry and had an easy dinner in the hotel in our pajamas. The next day we had great weather and went up to Ruyi mountain top by cable car and walked along suspension bridges, glass bridges and saw many gorgeous views. After that we had a friendly gun shooting and archery competition. Chloe was leading archer until Duncan showed up!
We had a nice lunch on the river at a mountain retreat and then went to paint our own fans. After a rest in the hotel we went to get foot massages and had dinner on West Street. The next morning the bridge to the hotel was flooded! So we had to take small cars to get out to the airport.
