Each old town has a unique history and character that can be read in their architecture and layouts. The Yangshuo area is very fortunate to have so many traditional buildings. Some were built hundreds of years ago in the Ming & Qing Dynasties. Many others slowly adapted rebuilt and re-purposed throughout their history. Leaving layers of history for those willing to look a little closer. Our 1 day old town tour that goes out to one of probably the most traditional and ancient towns in the area; Huangyao.

Huangyao Old Town

The town is built around a crystal clear river that still supplies the town with its drinking water. And the riverside area still holds many of its old traditional charms. Banyan trees hundreds of years old hover above the streams. And small stepping stone bridges run from side to side giving passage across the river. The paths are still laid with the original stones, worn down by hundreds of years of life. Many small pathways and roads intertwine the old buildings, leading to hidden courtyards and small private gardens.

Many small homestay-style hotels offer a great feel for those wishing to extend their stay. Enjoying a night strolling the old streets and enjoying the serenity of the town
