With the stunning Li River winding it's way through over 20,000 limestone karsts, this county has long been the inspiration for many Chinese poets and painters. The limestone pinnacles come from when the area was once an ocean, over 190 million years ago, following a movement in the earths crust which pushed the karsts upwards.Yangshuo was one of the first counties in China to be appointed as a national tourism area. Now,each year more than 1.5 million visitors come to Yangshuo.It is a unique part of China.Just wander down West St and you will find people willing to provide whatever service you could possibly wish for.
