2024 China Trip [Day 2&3]: Yangshou ~ Travel & Living Journal of DT

Continue from XingPing post...

After spending nearly 4 hours in XingPing Ancient Town, we took minibus to Yangshou which takes about 40 minutes ride. However when almost approaching Yangshou, we requested the bus driver to stop somewhere near our guesthouse instead of drop-off at Yangshou Bus Station. And from there, we walked over to our guesthouse but we didn't know it turned out to be more than 20 minutes of walking.

OUR ACCOMMODATION IN YANGSHOU

Sorry to say that I unable to share the name of the guesthouse we stayed because firstly, my husband was the one in charge of doing all the booking for our accommodations and secondly, all of the accommodations that he booked are only written in Chinese name, no English name. And I can't even read Chinese at all.

But one thing I requested him was to book our accommodation close to those shopping street so that I can go down and do shopping at anytime I want.

WEST STREET OF YANGSHOU

Our accommodation is ideally situated in the West Street, the oldest street in Yangshou which has history spanning more than 1400 years. Locally known as Xijie in Chinese, this street is filled with countless of guesthouses, restaurants, snack shops, souvenir stores and more. You can even find well-known fast food restaurant chains like KFC and McDonald's here too. There's even a three-storey Starbucks too with a classic design of a Chinese garden pavilion.

And guess what, this town has instantly become one of my favourite towns in China. Too bad that we're only spending 2 days 1 night here in Yangshou because I'm seriously in love with this town.
