Yangshuo, China
It was raining lightly when I (arrive) in Yangshuo before dawn(黎明). But I didn't care. A few hours , I'd been at home in Hong Kong, with (it) choking(令人窒息的) smog. Here, the air was clean and fresh, even with the rain.
I'd skipped nearby Guilin, a dream place for tourists seeking the limestone(石灰岩) mountain tops and dark waters of the Li River are pictured by artists in so many Chinese (painting). Instead, I'd headed straight for Yangshuo. For those who fly to Guilin, it's only an hour away car and offers all the scenery of the better-known city.
Yangshuo(be) really beautiful. A study of travelers(conduct进行) by the website TripAdvisor names(命名) Yangshuo as one of the top 10 destinations in the world. And the town is fast becoming a popular weekend destination(目的地) for people in Asia. Abercrombie & Kent, a travel company in Hong Kong, says itregular) arranges (安排) quick getaways(短途旅行) here for people(live) in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
