Route 1Yangshuo - Big Banyan - the Moon Hill - The Moon Hill Village - Jianshan Temple - Yan Village - Tian Jia River - YangShuo

 
This is a classical bicycle route with both highroad and countryside paths covering a total of 20km so it is rather moderate. Start out from Yangshuo and ride along the road to Lipu for 20 minutes to GongNong Bridge, here you should get off your bike and visit the scenery on each side of the river. One is called 'Camel Cross the River', while on the other side you will see the confluence of the YuLong and JinBao Rivers, which provides an impressive sight. (D)(D)
