Location & Accessibility

Yulong Fantasyland sits in a picture-perfect corner of Yangshuo County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It’s nestled near the eastern end of the famous Ten-Mile Gallery, right next to the Shuangjiang Eco-Resort. Getting here is a breeze—if you’re arriving by car, just drive along the Li River scenic route and follow signs for Yulong River. For budget travelers, buses from Guilin or Yangshuo drop you off at Yangshuo South Bus Station, then a short taxi ride (~20 minutes) takes you straight to the resort. Trust me, the winding roads through limestone hills make the journey half the adventure!

Nature’s Masterpiece

The heart of Yulong Fantasyland is the Yulong River, a silky-smooth river winding through karst peaks that look like giant green-topped muffins. Unlike crowded漓江 (Li River), this spot feels secretive—float down the river on a bamboo raft, and you’ll drift past towering cliffs, hidden caves, and bridges draped in ivy. The water is so clear you can see fish flickering below, and if you visit after rain, mist wraps around the mountains like a Chinese waterpainting. Locals call this “hills mirrored in the river, river tucked in the hills”—but don’t worry, you don’t need a poet’s soul to love it!

Cultural Gems

Beyond nature, Yulong Fantasyland whispers history too. Nearby, you’ll find ancient stone bridges worn smooth by centuries, and villages where Zhuang and Yao ethnic minorities still wear traditional clothes. Stop by Old County Village to chat with artisans weaving bamboo baskets or dyeing cloth with natural indigo. If you’re lucky, you might catch a folk dance performance—think ribbons whirling, drums thumping, and smiles as wide as the rice fields!

Practical Comforts

The Shuangjiang Eco-Resort (where Yulong Fantasyland is based) isn’t just pretty—it’s designed for relaxation. Think infinity pools overlooking the river, spas using herbs from nearby hills, and restaurants serving Guilin米粉 (rice noodles) with a view. For active types, rent a bike to explore trails, or grab a coffee at the riverside café. Even the bamboo rafts come with comfy cushions and sun umbrellas—no roughing it here!

The Ultimate Day Out

Start your day early! Morning light turns the karst peaks golden, and the river is calm for rafting. After a few hours gliding past “Mushroom Hill” and “Peacock Mountain” (trust me, you’ll see why), pause at a riverbank waterfall for a swim. Later, cycle to nearby Longji Rice Terraces or hike to Moon Hill for sunset. By night, Yulong Fantasyland transforms—lanterns glow along the river, and fireflies dance like tiny stars. Pro tip: Bring bug spray, but leave your rush-rush attitude at home—this is “slow China” at its finest!

Whether you’re a thrill-seeker, culture buff, or just someone who loves taking photos of impossibly cute landscapes, Yulong Fantasyland has your back. And hey—if you forget your camera, don’t stress. The views here are so epic, even phone pics will make your friends jealous!
