The city reveals the moral ends of being, and sets the awful problem of life. The country soothes us, refreshes us, lifts us up with religious suggestion - Edwin Hubbel Chapin. Equal parts idyllic countryside town and wilderness escape, Yangshuo looks like it came right off of a postcard. Within the town itself, visitors are usually relieved to find that noise and air pollution are very low, and that the clean streets make for a pleasant daytime stroll. But while a wander around the town centre is a nice way to spend a day or two, the main reason visitors head to Yangshuo is to embark on journeys further into its scenic outskirts. A perfect place to explore by bike, boat and foot, the Yangshuo countryside promises a perfect backdrop of massive karsts, caves, rivers and mountain temples and offers an good opportunity to witness the authentic lifestyle of people living in South China's countryside.
Located in the heart of Halong Bay and named after Ghermann Titov, a former Soviet Union hero, Ti Top Island possesses breath taking romantic landscapes. The panorama from the viewpoint, accessible after a steep climb of 400 very uneven steps, is magic.
