2 Day - Yangshuo Photography Tour

From here we will watch the sunrise over the landscape. With the light cascading down the valley and reflecting off the Li-River. This can be a truly stunning view and is often considered one of the highlights of many people journeys through the area

Built purely with stone with no joining materials. It can look especially ethereal when the low mists are rolling around the peaks.

The markets can offer some great photos. Full of unique characters and heavily textured compositions. After seeing so much produce for sale its then time to stop for food ourselves.

A stunning old stone arch bridge spanning the Yu-long river. The bridge itself is hundred of years old and you can see the character has built up over a lifetime of use. As well as nature slowly trying to absorb it back into the countryside. From there we board a bamboo raft and enjoy a relaxed cruise down the river towards Jiuxian village. The cruise takes around 2 hours and is a great chance to relax, take a few pictures and get back some energy.

And we will make our way to see the iconic ’20Y note view’. A landscape shot so good its featured on the national currency of the whole of china. Certainly a high claim to fame. After taking in this famous view we head to the river side to see one of the oldest traditions in the area. The Cormorant fishermen. Still using techniques dating back hundreds of years these fisherman offer an incredible opportunity for some amazing photos. Many of the most well known photos of the area feature theses fisherman and the history written in there faces and practices.
