Yangshou

One of the most touristy places in China for westerners, was by far one of the most fun places I have been to so far. There isn't a lot in the way of museums, or cultural happenings. But the outdoor activities where amazing.

On the first full day there, a group of us went on an all day bike ride focusing around the rivers and small villages. We biked between 15-20 miles over smooth, rocky, and paved roads.

The second full day I went on an all day hike between two of the major villages that where close to where we were staying. The hike took a out 5 hours and we walked a little over 9 miles.

Yangshou is one place that if I had allowed it I would have stayed longer then four nights.
