The journey continues with a visit to the Temple of Heaven, the royal altar of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In the evening, an exciting Chinese Kung Fu Show at the Red Theater will conclude your day.

It is an effort to climb up the wall and the tourist restaurants there provide poor meals, which are not up to our service standard, so we suggest you have a generous breakfast at the hotel this morning and have some fast food for lunch by yourself.

Differing from the bustling city, the pastoral and picturesque rural scenery around Yangshuo is quite pleasant and makes you feel comfortably relaxed.
