The China Guide Selects the Next Favorite Destination

BEIJING, Feb. 22 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- A complete travel experience in China should include the bustling cities as well as a visit to the rural countryside to see the country's natural scenery. In the past, most travelers have included Guilin as their choice for a scenic destination but as the city has grown The China Guide ( http://www.TheChinaGuide.com ) is now making a new recommendation. Yangshuo is a peaceful retreat not far from Guilin and borders on the Li River. There is countryside to explore and lots of outdoor activities. Yangshuo is the perfect getaway for both couples and families with children.

"It has been very common for travelers and tour companies to include a Guilin river cruise in their itineraries and concentrate their time in Guilin city," says Peter Danford, Managing Director of The China Guide. "Yangshuo is a new alternative to Guilin; it is the ultimate city escape with plenty of activities and beautiful mountain scenery. Guilin has become too overrun; why go to a city of millions when you can escape to a peaceful town nearby?"

Yangshuo offers traditional rural China and lets travelers explore the countryside which includes limestone mountain scenery and rice paddies, perfect for exploring by bike. Other outdoor activities include rock climbing and bamboo river rafting in the Yulong River. Also popular for both adults and kids is cave exploring; visitors can take a boat through the cave systems for a unique experience. The Yangshuo scenery is a haven for photography.

For a quiet country stay, The China Guide suggests the Yangshuo Mountain Retreat. This hotel offers a serene getaway from the busy cities. It is located just on the outskirts of Yangshuo town and a short 10 minute taxi ride will take guests to the town center for shopping or dining. The beautiful hotel setting provides the perfect place for relaxation and fresh air. The Yangshuo Mountain Retreat also lays claim to being the first green hotel in China.

The China Guide includes Yangshuo in their 2 Week China Group Tour. Tours begin every Tuesday, running April through November. For full details, visit: http://www.thechinaguide.com/sleeponthewall/BJ_Group_15day_Sleep_on_Wall.pdf
