Yangshuo pedestrian streets


Yangshuo pedestrian streets

Yangshuo is a big backpacker place. They even have a couple hostels that are part of the International Youth Hostel Association. I stayed in the Yangshuo IYH for my first night. With the weeklong holiday, getting cheap dorm rooms was tougher, but definitely possible. The prices were all doubled and even tripled.
There are guided rock climbs in the surrounding area and even a small rock gym in Yangshuo. There are loads of outdoor stores selling North Face and Mountain Hardwear gear (pirated, of course), for 1/8th of the price in the States.
