Introduction of Fuli Ancient Town:

Fuli Ancient Town is 8 kilometers east of Yangshuo County. It takes 20 minutes to drive from Yangshuo, Fuli has a history of 800 years. Here you can find nice small factories making painted paper fans. The barber shop, a small local Chinese pharmacy all have some special stories to tell. You can also get there by a bike.

Fuli is a town with two faces. On one side is the new town which is next to the main road that leads to Guangdong province. On the other side is the old town which is on the bank of the Li River. The old town still has all of its old houses which you can peek into and see the simple lives of the local people. Wandering around the town you will see all the traditional new years decorations which remain in place for the entire year. A walk around this old town is a very memorable experience. Fuli also has markets on any day of the month that ends in 1,4 or 7. Warning - Fuli market attracts a number of pick pockets. Just take your essentials there with you.

Local minivans operate as buses and leave from the bus station in Yangshuo in every few minutes. The best way to get to Fuli however is by bicycle. There is a little used village road that goes along the Li river bank and through very scenic areas and small villages. Eventually the road leads to the Li river which you need to cross on a small wooden boat. The boats go across and back every few minutes and drop you off right next to the 3 sisters cafe. Here you can leave your bikes free of charge while you wander around the old town or visit the market. This restaurant also produces great food and has great views.
