The riverside town in southern China is most famous for its karst hills and traditional fishing-village lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: start;\">Downtown is touristy. Visitors can rent bikes and head to the countryside to find a more calming scene: bamboo boats chugging along the river, fishermen setting out with cormorants, farmers toiling in fields with lush peaks soaring high above.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Most travelers reach Yangshuo from Guilin. Buses bound for Yangshuo leave every 15 minutes from Guilin Bus Station on Zhongshan Lu and Guilin South Railway Station.
