We visited Yangshuo, Ping An and Dazhai in Sep 2012. We had a fantastic time in all 3 places and saw some wonderous sights. There were a number of tourists in some places we visited however we need to expect that there will be other tourists visiting these amazing places and it’s a bit unrealistic to expect to be to be the only people there. Afterall, they probably went for the same reason we did – to experience the beautiful sights.

Around Yangshuo we did countryside cycling, bamboo rafting and river cruising and saw few people other than locals. It was amazing. It helped to leave early each morning.

Getting to Dazhai after stepping off the bus in Heping is easiest by just hitchhiking. We didn’t take a bus, because immediately after we got off, a car was waiting there (I think they know when buses arrive at the intersection). The ride doesn’t cost a lot and there’s not need to wait for further transportation… Hope this helps & have a great trip!

I was just wondering if you could provide me with additional information such as the buses to take and how you got to DaZhai after alighting at Heping.

Yeah, Tiantou village is a good place to stay at, but it actually doesn’t matter that much. Sure, it takes a bit longer from Dazhai, but I guess it just depends on what you prefer… Have a great trip & enjoy the stunning view from up there!

I am going to Yangshuo and Longsheng this September. I will stay in Longsheng for 1 night. Is it better to stay in Tiantou village for the night, as the viewpoints are near to that village. I would love to go to those viewpoints for sunrise. And thanks for posting the map!

Yeah, you can do it all in one day, although I’d rather prefer spending more time in a place this beautiful :)

Five hours walk with a guide from village to village to reach the inn for dinner and bedtime. Eat well, slept well. Simply superb, especially in the morning when we wake up. Cross walking landscapes and living in the moment, we will never forget those landscapes that have enchanted us. To see if you spend in the area.

The place was so green because we where there in the middle of summer which is just before the rice gets harvested. Was really great to see it, even though I’d love to visit again when everything is just starting to grow.
Glad you found the info helpful!
Best, Nisa

I only visited Ping’an rice terrace and the scenery wasn’t as green. However, my first visit to rice terraces so I was pretty impressed to think man could build such a monumental panorama. thanks for the information. enjoyed your blog post. Lyn

Thanks for your words & glad you got a good impression on what the area looks like.
You will really love the place! Let’s see if the cable car is already built by then…
