Yulong River is the biggest branch of the Li River in YangShuo County. The
clear water runs smoothly past fields,farmhouses, trees and mountains. Traveling

happy in the arms of the green mountains. Looking from the mountaintops, you can
see a vivid panorama of the landscape with the green crystal water flowing
through the colorful valley below.

clothes beside the river,ducks swimming on the river,bamboo rafts moving under
the old bridge,and farmers working in the fields.Yulong has a different kind of
beauty than the Li River. Along the Yulong River you can find Fuli Bridge, Guiyi
Original Site, Ancient Village, Xiangui Bridge, the Zhus'Camp,Chuan Cave,
Rhinoceros Deep Pool, Zhaoyang Camp, Seven Stars and other scenic spots.
Most tourist traffic on this river is on small bamboo rafts. The going
price for a trip on these rafts is about 150 Yuan per raft.
Swimming is also a popular activity on this river. There are several
swimming holes on the river. Swimming here is safer than on the Li River as
there is a smaller current and it is not as deep.

this waterway is one of the favorite choices of photographers and artists coming
to the area. For those who are looking for a fabulous hike and bike tour, cycle
