The map of Yangshuo
and the surrounding areas

"Without a map you're blind, but I want to see,
I want to know where I am..., so I got the map of Yangshuo ... "


I love maps, the map of Yangshuo
is no exception. Maps tell you stories. It gives you a preview of the area you are going to visit. I remember when I was a kid I used to hang over the atlas of my parents. Looking at maps and imagining what those names where, what there was to see in this or that country.

Later when I grew older and started cycling, I started using maps. I had, and still have a huge collection of maps of countries I traveled. Always I bought a map. And many times I tried to get more detailed maps.

When I started traveling in China I brought Nelles Maps with me. Maps of a scale of 1:500.000. That was enough, even for cycling. But sometimes I wanted more detailed maps. The Map of Yangshuo was one of them. Funny enough I have several and all are slightly different.

How can a map of the same area be different? Like I said, in China, the Nelles Maps are ok to use but I usually prefer the Chinese provincial maps. These are more accurate and in every Xinhua Bookstore to get. Disadvantage is that they are in Chinese characters so I usually combine the local Chinese map with a Nelles map.

Many Chinese in China can't read Latin characters, they will not be able to understand you if you show them a map. But they can read the local maps although many have a problem to use them.

I remember asking the direction to Kunming when I was about 80km from Kunming. The locals had no clue what I was asking. Never had they hear of Kunming. However, when I showed them the local map and pointed to Kunming, they started all talking, gave me some tea and directed me further into the right direction. Maps are a great way to get in touch with local people. For my bicycle website I wrote a little article what can happen if you travel somewhere and have no map with you: Cycling without a map.

I have decided to give you several maps. The second map of Yangshuo is a rough overview of the area in the direct vicinity of Yangshuo. For example, the distance between Yangshuo and Moonhill is about 9km, to Fuli Town a little more.

The surrounding of Yangshuo

A more detailed map of Yangshuo Town center I have here. West street on this map is Xi Jie Rd. The bus station is at the circle on the left corner at the junction of Diecui Rd and Pantao Rd. At the junction of Xie Ji Rd (West Street) and Pantao Rd you will find the post- and telecom office.

Having a view over the Yangshuo area, you will see the main road (321) in yellow. This leads to the north to Guilin and to the south to Wuzhou and finally to Guangzhou, around 600 km south east of Yangshuo. The distance from Yangshuo to Guilin is 66 km, Yangshuo to Guangzhou around 600km.

Libo

Few people ever visit Libo. That's too bad as it could be done in a loop from Guilin to Zhaoxing and then Libo and back through Liuzhou. It's definitely worth the effort.

Bicycling Xingping to Guilin

I did it twice and it was pleasant, using the back roads from Xingping to Guilin. Sure, it takes a bit longer and it's harder as the road is not everywhere as good as you wish but it's a scenic road, worth the effort
