Before we knew it, the cruise ship arrived at its destination, Yangshuo Shuidongmen Wharf, which is also the end of West Street.
People continued to disembark from the boat, with Chen Zhiyao and her group following Li Guang at the very back.
As she disembarked, Yan Shuting couldn't help but whisper to her daughter:
"The scenery along the Li River is indeed beautiful; no wonder it has become a tourist area."
The picturesque scenery along the Li River left a deep impression on everyone, and made her look forward to the rest of the journey even more.
Chen Zhiyao also thought the scenery in Guilin was beautiful, but she felt it was more of a novelty.
If she really had to choose, she preferred the vastness of the sea and the seamless blend of the sea and sky.
A buffet was provided on board, and everyone had already eaten their fill before disembarking, so they could head straight to the next destination.
There were many people at the dock, and Chen Zhiyao and the others, afraid of getting lost, stayed close behind Li Guang.
After weaving through the crowd, we soon arrived at the roadside, where the tour group's bus was already waiting.
The next destination was the Ten-Mile Gallery, and Chen Zhiyao, who had already seen pictures and videos online, was very much looking forward to it.
The Ten-Mile Gallery in Yangshuo is located at Moon Hill in Yangshuo. It is actually just an ordinary road.
Because of the rice paddies, rapeseed flower fields, and rolling mountains along the way, the scenery is picturesque and is known as the "Ten-Mile Gallery".
After getting on the bus, everyone was still discussing the scenery on the Li River, occasionally interspersed with their earnest expectations for the Ten-Mile Gallery.
A short while later, the vehicle slowly started and headed towards the Ten-Mile Gallery.
Along the way, Li Guang introduced everyone to the must-see attractions in the Ten-Mile Gallery, as well as the places where it's easy to make mistakes.
Li Guang was a witty and humorous man, and the people in the carriage were very cooperative, so the whole journey was filled with laughter and a very harmonious atmosphere.
Along the way, Li Guang enthusiastically introduced the scenic spots and local customs to everyone.
Chen Zhiyao listened with great interest, but her eyes couldn't help but drift towards the rice paddies outside the window.
On both sides of the road are vast rice paddies. It is early spring, and the rice seedlings have just been planted, full of tender green and vitality.
Looking at the lush greenery, she felt her mood improve.
After a drive of more than half an hour, the car finally arrived at the Fengming parking lot.
The Ten-Mile Gallery area is quite large, and Li Guang suggests that everyone should rent an electric vehicle to explore it, otherwise you won't be able to see it all even if you walk until your legs break.
Everyone had done their research before coming, so naturally no one disagreed with this suggestion.
Li Guang quickly led everyone to a car rental place not far away.
There are two types of vehicles for rent here: one is a regular electric scooter, which costs 30 yuan to rent for a day.
It looked a bit old, but its cheap price made it worthwhile, and Chen Zhiyao noticed that quite a few people rented this kind of ordinary electric scooter.
Another type is the sidecar motorcycle, which is a body with a sidecar attached; it looks quite cute.
This car is very stylish and is especially popular with young couples.
When she got off the bus, she saw quite a few couples riding these sidecar motorcycles, showing off their affection. However, the rental price for these sidecar motorcycles is extremely expensive, 100 yuan per rental, and only for three hours.
Before getting off the vehicle, Li Guang had already warned everyone that these sidecar trucks looked nice, but they were very heavy, and the roads here were quite narrow, making them inconvenient to drive.
Since the car was expensive and difficult to drive, Chen Zhiyao decisively rented three ordinary electric vehicles instead.
Her parents had one car, her grandparents had another, and she drove her own car.
The others were immediately drawn to the sidecar's good looks and, ignoring all advice, rented two.
Seeing this, Li Guang didn't say much. He simply told them the time to meet and then let them go off to explore on their own.
"Let's go!"
Chen Zhiyao couldn't wait to ride her electric bike and happily led her family through the lush green rice paddies.
She drove in the lead car, enjoying the pleasant breeze on her face.
After driving for a short while, Chen Zhiyao opened the navigation app on her phone and entered the first place she wanted to visit.
The group followed the instructions and soon arrived at their destination, Gongnong Bridge.
The bridge spans a wide river with crystal-clear water that reflects the blue sky, white clouds, and lush trees on both banks, creating a breathtaking scene.
I heard the sunset here is especially beautiful, but unfortunately the timing isn't right, and they're going rafting on the Yulong River later.
Otherwise, staying here to watch the sunrise would be quite nice.
The group took photos on the bridge for a while, then drove around again.
Before long, the group arrived at a viewing platform. The platform offered a panoramic view of green mountains and clear waters, and the scenery was quite beautiful. Chen Zhiyao, who was leading the group, parked her electric scooter nearby.
While locals may be tired of seeing these sights, they are quite novel to visitors.
Chen Weiqiang and his grandfather were even more regretful, regretting why they hadn't brought their fishing rods with them.
It would be a shame not to fish in such a great spot.
Everyone enjoyed the view from the observation deck for a while and took a few more photos before continuing their journey along the map.
Within minutes, the signs for Yulong Water Charm came into view.
The group followed the signs and soon saw some old waterwheels used for irrigating farmland.
They stood there quietly, as if telling stories of the past.
Continuing onward, a field of golden rapeseed flowers comes into view, giving one a sense of spring.
Besides the rapeseed flowers, there are also rice paddies that have just been planted nearby.
They are arranged neatly, like a green ocean, giving people a fresh and peaceful feeling.
The rice seedlings in these paddy fields are still very tender and small, but they are full of vigorous vitality.
The tiny seedlings swayed gently in the breeze, as if showing people their growth and hope.
Suddenly, a giant dragon appeared in the rice paddy.
Chen Zhiyao and her companions got out of the car with great interest and excitedly went to take pictures. Soon, the group arrived at the Yichi Rice Paddy Cafe, a café nestled amidst the giant dragon-shaped rice paddies and mountains.
This is a coffee shop located next to rice paddies, surrounded by lush green rice fields, making it a particularly beautiful spot for taking photos.
As soon as she arrived, she saw many pretty young women posing for photos by the rice paddies.
After walking around for a while, everyone was a little thirsty, so Chen Zhiyao found an empty table and invited everyone to sit down, have something to drink and rest.
After a good rest, Chen Zhiyao happily typed her next destination into her phone.
There is also a Moon Mountain nearby, with a particularly round cave in the middle, which looks like a full moon hanging on the mountain.
Seeing the real Moon Mountain makes one marvel at the wonders of nature. Along the way to Moon Mountain, the rice paddies and mountains are breathtaking, almost all of them picturesque.
Chen Zhiyao felt that the term "Ten-Mile Gallery" was quite fitting.
