#Shiwai Taoyuan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Raidens retirement vacation
Today we discovered Shangri-La in Yangshuo . basically it’s folk authentic park with beautiful scenery .
On the way to this place , my bike died but this fact didn’t stop me . I got the new one and continue my journey.
It looks quite boring from the start , but when you go deep you can acquaint with some local traditions in food , behavior , dressing etc .
Make sure your tickets include boat trip . I didn’t want to take it , but I didn’t regret . During the trip I saw lot of nature views , trees blossom . There are some checkpoints in the way where park stuff dance when they see new boat .
the main thing about boat trip was floating through the cave .
try to find a time and visit this place ☝🏻Enjoy 😇
P.S. for mortal combat fans : don’t forget to buy one of these Raiden’s hats 😄

Yangshuo's Shangri-La, a real-life paradise
Yangshuo's Shangri-La, a real-life paradise.
During my leisure time on the weekend, I opted for a trip around Guilin. Departing from the city center of Guilin, it only takes 1 hour by car to reach the legendary Shangri-La. This place is like the fairyland described in the Chinese textbooks from our childhood, truly existing in reality.
"There is a small opening in the mountain, as if there is light," isn't this the perfect interpretation of Guilin's landscape? Here, you can choose to take a boat to appreciate the beauty of the mountains and waters, or you can opt for a land tour to feel the tranquility and harmony of nature.
After visiting Shangri-La, I drove for another half an hour to the bustling West Street in Yangshuo. The nightlife here is extraordinarily lively, with a variety of shops and delicacies that dazzle the eyes. I checked in at two restaurants, each offering unforgettable flavors.
The river view at the Lingli Riverside Restaurant is unique, with a rich variety of Chinese and Western dishes, and you can also enjoy delicious afternoon tea. Here, you can taste the food while enjoying the river view, savoring a moment of peace and comfort.
Huoxiaoniu Private Kitchen was recommended by local friends. Their signature beer fish and roasted chicken were a feast to my taste buds. The beer fish was tender and flavorful, while the roasted chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fragrant aroma.
After dinner, I strolled down West Street, found a small bar to sit down, listened to music, and enjoyed the leisurely time. This day was both relaxing and healing, making me appreciate the beauty of life.

It is said that Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, but after the arrival of Yangyejun after Yangshuo, it is said that it is not only the Guilin landscape, but also the praise of the Yangshuo landscape. The shock and excitement of the visual sense of the beautiful scenery of Yangshuo! In the face of this "benevolence of the benevolent, the wise man is happy", the fun of the meditation is even more lingering.
This time, the trip to the mountains or the meditation of the meditation is not important. What is important is that what is seen here is the real paradise, and the real and direct experience of vision and feelings is what the environment of the paradise is. It is definitely the best way to understand the very abstract word of "Xanadu".
Here you can go to the poetic and picturesque Lijiang River to experience the most quaint, romantic and warm fisherman's late return, truly let you experience the scene and feelings of "fishing boat singing late".

When you come to Guilin, you must go to Yangshuo to see, and the first stop we have chosen - the paradise. I still remember the Taohuayuan record written by Tao Yuanming. "Suddenly, there are hundreds of steps in the peach blossom forest, no miscellaneous trees in the middle, beautiful grass, and colorful," and here is the paradise of the Guilin landscape in the deep. The Xanadu Scenic Area is a scenic spot developed in accordance with the artistic conception of "Peach Blossom Spring" written by Tao Yuanming in the Jin Dynasty, combined with the local pastoral scenery. The scenic spot is located beside Guiyang Highway, 39Km away from Guilin and 15Km away from Yangshuo. The rural scenery, folk customs and folk view are organically sorted, integrating with the beautiful landscapes of nature. While enjoying the mountains and waters and folk customs, Enjoy a variety of styles. The scenic spots are mainly divided into water tours and walking tours. The waters are surrounded by lakes and mountains by light boats, pastoral cottages, green trees and mountains, and the original form of welcome, sacrifice, hunting, and enjoyment along the way. To the national characteristics of the mad song dance, the side of the village style.
In our eyes, Yangshuo is famous for its B&B Inn, and there are also many. However, there is such a B&B in the vicinity of the scenic area in Yangshuo. The design and decoration of the hotel is refreshing. Do you like this kind of hotel-style B&B?
Yangshuo is an internationally renowned tourist destination city. Although it is just a small town, it brings together beautiful natural scenery and attracts many foreigners to come and visit. Many of Yangshuo's beauty is not in the county, but in the township.

Through the long wind and rain bridge, there are various ethnic minority skills show, the old aunt moved the loom to the scenic spot, and attracted many tourists with hand-woven cloth.
In the paradise, I went to so many places and saw so many mountains and rivers. Today, I really came to this the paradise, you will wonder what it looks like? The paradise is still quite far from the urban area of Yangshuo, 15 kilometers, you can rent a battery with a larger electric car or hit it. I was on the water side, the blue waves swayed, and I hit my heart in an instant, and there was no wave in my eyes. The so-called years are so quiet, not too much to see you. I looked at the reflection in the water in a daze. Come here, those who have passed, the people who have met, those who are happy and moved, all in their minds, will remind people of all the good past. The so-called paradise is nothing more than a good feeling, and you have not lived up to everyone's expectations. Here are the historical imprints, the changes of the years, the ancient inheritance, and the flowers of the flourishing new life. Are you pursuing a pure land like this? What do you want, is it the return to inner peace? No matter how many people have come, no matter how many stories have happened, I hope that you will not be changed and retain your original appearance. It will also be what everyone likes best. We used to live in places like this, with green tiles on the top of the head, bamboo chairs behind them, and a small yard where partners can come together anytime and anywhere. Come to the paradise, put on costumes, and take a set of beautiful photo albums, as if crossing the ancient times. We sat on a soft sofa and lived in a small lattice. Think about how happy we are.
Into the folk village, the first is to welcome wine, sweet folk songs, moving Amei handed a cup of homemade rice wine, as if crossing the East Jin, you are the Wuling source. Coming to the Drum Tower, here is the place where the Yi people gather for the meeting, sing and sing and hold a celebration ceremony. It is also a performance venue for the reeds, bamboo dances and other dances. The Yi people have three treasures----Drum Tower, Big Song, and Wind and Rain Bridge. In terms of national literature and art, the township has always been hailed as the "hometown of folk songs". It still inherits the ancient style of "going in the night", and its folk music is composed of big songs, yangko, lyrics, yangko, lyrics and reeds. Most loved. Strolling in the paradise, looking at the mountains and rivers in front of me, breathing the fresh air here, I heard the excitement in front of me, and I came to the embroidery building without knowing it. Two large hydrangea windows hang, safflower satin embellished. The third sister sang, and the hydrangea was thrown outside the building. The tourists were connected downstairs and the joy was all over the world. Walking through the promenade, you can enjoy all kinds of exquisite crafts and ornaments of the four nationalities of Yi, Zhuang, Miao and Yao. The Yi people's brocades, Zhuang nationality brocade and hydrangea, Miao batik and Yao crafts have their own merits.
People who have never been to Guilin have heard of the phrase "Guilin fir trees are the best in the world", and those who have come to Guilin must know that its next sentence is "Yangshuo Mountain Water Guilin", Yangshuo County is the most essential part of Guilin landscape. When you come to Guilin, you must go to Yangshuo to see, and the first stop we have chosen - the paradise. I still remember the Taohuayuan record written by Tao Yuanming. "Suddenly, there are hundreds of steps in the peach blossom forest, no miscellaneous trees in the middle, beautiful grass, and colorful," and here is the paradise of the Guilin landscape in the deep.
When the forest is full of water, you will have a mountain, and the mountain has a small mouth, as if there is light. I will leave the boat and enter from the mouth. At the beginning, it was very narrow. Going back dozens of steps, suddenly and cheerfully. The land is flat and the house is in vain. There is a genus of liangsang. Traffic in the hustle and bustle, chickens and dogs. Among them, the men and women are dressed and dressed as foreigners. The yellow hair is coveted and enjoyable. This is the description of Mr. Wu Liu in "Peach Blossom Spring", but the peach blossom source in Hunan, Yangshuo's extraterrestrial Taoyuan is only ten kilometers away from the county town. It is said that "the car is beautiful, and the horse rides to listen to the sound of the waves."
