Our day started in the lobby of our hotel. Our driver/tour guide Jeff met us there and immediately we knew it was going to be a good day. All our other guides had been female so it was nice to have a male this time. We travelled 2 hours to the karst mountains of Yangshuo. We were taken to Xianggong Hill where we climbed the many stairs to the top. We were greeted with a spectacular view. It was a hazy day but the view was still magical. From there we went to lunch at a lovely restaurant at Moon Hill. We tried the bamboo chicken which is cooked in bamboo on the open fire. Very tasty. We then drove to Ruyi Peak. We took the cable car to the top then walked up to the suspension bridge. Please be aware that there are a lot of stairs and if you are afraid of heights, this may not be for you. We crossed the bridge then walked to the highest peak. The 360 degree view was unbelievable. We then walked down to the glass bridge which is in two sections. A fantastic experience which gets the adrenaline going. We then went back down the mountain in the cable car and took the 2 hour drive home. I would highly recommend this tour and especially our driver/tour guide Jeff. We felt like family and were treated like royalty. This tour is not to be missed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We were stuck without transportation on Xianggong Mountain and by chance we met Andy. He helped us secure transportation back to Yangshuo and even arranged a truck to return the electric bikes we rented in Xingping. He didn't leave us until he was sure we're able to get back to our hotel safely. Andy went above and beyond helping us, considering he wasn't even our tour guide! I'll definitely get in touch with Andy when we visit China again. Thanks again!
