Yangshuo Countryside Cycling and Bamboo Rafting

Start between 9:00 and 9:30 am with pickup from your hotel. Your Guilin guide will help choose the bicycles for you before the tour begins.
Cycle through the countryside along the Dragon River without any traffic. Part of the road is unpaved, so you may get a little muddy if it rains.
See bamboo rafts on the river, pushed by a man from behind, as well as local farmers working in the rice fields and buffalos in the fields.
Eat lunch in a local farmer's house (optional).
Afterwards, cycle to Chaoyang Pier for bamboo rafting. The bamboo rafting lasts around 1.5-2 hours.
Return at around 4:00 pm and head back to Yangshuo.
