Guilin to Yangshuo – Day 8


It was supposed to be our rest day, but we didn’t manage to get to Yangshuo the night before, so we rode the 50 kilometres in the afternoon after a big sleep in. We met Amin on the main road and he drove Lulu’s bike to his house, nestled between vertical karst walls covered in green foliage.

We had dinner with his family, which was a couple of hours long with plenty of good food and beer and trying to speak Chinese which got loads of laughs. We were joined by his friend Ahua and the eating and drinking continued. He offered to take me out to his place to get some jingju (small mandarin type fruit), so I hopped on the back of Amin’s bike and we rode through Yangshuo, with lights illuminating the karst peaks.

Lulu and I had separate rooms that night so it was good to get a little space.
