We took a private Yangshuo
tour from a local Guilin
travel agency in May 2011.
Yangshuo is a hard place to get the full cultural
experience of the region. Most tourists follow
the same path like a herd of blind sheep, which
is good in a sense because it makes it easy to
get a way from the steady flow of westerners with
there cameras and camcorders ready for action.
This is not to say that I have not had an awesome
time here, I have gained a life time of friends
from all over the world and found an wicked place
to work here at TriptoGuilin.com. TriptoGuilin.com
is the coolest guiding company in Yangshuo by
far. Its sole purpose is to create a chilled out
atmosphere for clients, staff and friends to come
in hang out and go out climbing, kayaking, biking
and many more adventures. There is nothing better
than coming back after a long day of pulling down
on rock or floating down the mighty Li River to
a few ice cold brews to dull the aches and pains
of the day. My main purpose in coming to Yangshuo
was for the endless sea of rock climbing that
surrounds the area. With limestone pillars exploding
into the sky in every direction, it reates an
ideal spot for China's climbing meca. Not only
has the climbing blown me away but the landscape
is like some where I might see in my most wild
psychedelic dreams.
The days go by like this; Get up at
ten or eleven maybe one depending on the night
before, coffee first then breakfast, chill for
an hour get climbing gear ready leave for the
crags. Climb until sunset smoke a spliff head
for home. Get back, have dinner , time to hit
the bars. Drink and be merry until three or four
maybe even five or six in the morning, repeat
process. Every once in awhile I treat my self
to an hour message for three dollars, life is
good. The best thing that I have done for myself
during this is to live by one saying, "Live
for the lifestyle, stay free and wild you will
be happy and life will be fun and exciting."
It is hot here in Yanshuo now. The
humididy up to 60-70%. The only saving grace is
the abundance of rivers and swimming holes around
the area. We go climbing and when we are done
you might as well jump into the water with all
you clothes on. If you love climbing as much as
I do you just deal with it a take it like a man,
I guess.
