  Guided by a local expert, you’ll cycle to Moon Hill, 7 kilometres from Yangshuo. We highly recommend the climb up to the top for the magnificent views of the valley and the surrounding karsts. Following lunch, we explore inside one of the local limestone karst caves. Depending on the age of your children options are a lit up cave featuring colourful stalagmites and stalactites or a water cave where you’ll be able to jump into mud baths, underground waterfalls and hot springs, so bring your bathers! We finish the day with a gentle ride back into Yangshuo town. In the evening we’ll visit the spectacular Liu San Jie Lightshow.

  Today we kick off with a morning class at Yangshuo Cooking School, set in a beautifully renovated traditional mud-brick courtyard home in Chaolong village, where you’ll cook and eat your own local creations for lunch. Before the class you will be picked up at your hotel to take a visit to Yangshuo market before returning to Chaolong for your class. After the class you will be returned to your hotel to relax before we cycle to Fuli village. This ride takes us through beautiful countryside to the Li River where we cross by boat and settle in for a session of Chinese fan making with a local master. You’ll get to take your own hand painted design home with you. We’ll board a bamboo raft for the ride back to Yangshuo. The evening is yours to explore.
