          Fun for families and couples, lots of steps!
          **Note: We did not purchase our advanced tickets through this tour group - I am posting here because there is no other attraction listing for Ruyi Peak, which is relatively new.** **Warning: I would NOT recommend this attraction for people with a fear of heights. The attraction is all about walking on high areas between and along peaks with suspension bridges, glass and metal mesh walkways, and precipitous views!** This attraction is a series of ways to get across and between a few of the peaks in the limestone karst mountain range near Yangshuo. It is relatively new, so not all that crowded, with amazing views of the surrounding mountain range. I would leave at least a half day to see all of the attraction, wear good shoes, and be prepared to walk a LOT of steps up and down and across! We came with a private tour guide and driver, who drove us from our Yangshuo hotel. The attraction starts with a spectacular cable car ride (each car seats 4-6 people) up among the peaks to the starting area. Enjoy the views while sitting! When you exit, you walk up many steps towards a suspension bridge between two peaks - the red ribbons tied along the bridge for luck are lovely as they dance in the wind. From there, you climb up many steps to a platform with a 360-degree view of the surrounding area. From there, climb down many steps to a winding mesh/glass walkway through the tree canopy among the peaks. From there, walk down a ramp (with some fun figures of rabbits and pumpkins - they may have been for the Mid-Autumn Festival) and head towards a glass walkway along one of the karst mountains. From there, you walk back up steps to the gondola station. Along the way there are several shaded and comfortable places to sit and have a snack and a nice drink or ice cream - helpful in the heat and humidity! Anytime you will be walking on glass, they give you little booties to put over your shoes that you remove at the end of that part of the attraction. Overall, I would recommend this for families and couples who are healthy and able to walk a lot of stairs comfortably in the heat and humidity. It was fun and well-planned with amazing views which we enjoyed!

          Wonderful views and very unique experience
          Together with my husband and our friend, we did the sunrise balloon tour and it was a very wonderful experience. It was very well organized and spontaneously available on the next morning when we requested the tour on the day before. The pilot was very kind and experienced and the views (up to 500 m high) of the karst mountains in Yangshuo were amazing and provided a great overview of the entire area. The flight was about 1 h long. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Yangshuo :) thanks again for this great trip!

          Great guide and arrangement.
          Great experience. Helpful fluent in English and very knowledgeable. Great stuff in short. We also added the silver cave with a minor add to the cost.

          A let down
          The scale is grand and backdrop unique. I liked the lighting and colors. However the show tries to pack in too many different things and the performances don't have an impact given large distance away from performers. The language and music is also not something that most foreigners will be able to appreciate. I would keep this activity only if you have ample time. Passable.

          The tour was incredible
          The spots were incredible and really beautiful. The driver was friendly and helpful. Just only drawback was the restaurant he selected for lunch it was dirty restaurant and the food was bad. But rather than that I enjoyed this tour and 100% recommended .

          Tour with a private driver rather than a guide, disappointing
          We booked a private custom tour for 6 people with Andy who assigned another guide for our tour. The guide had a good level of English, however: 1) he was more of a driver than a guide since he explained close to nothing in all the places we visited (including the Guilin romance Park: he just brought us to the theater and out, without showing us the park which is actually decently big), 2) we finished 3 hours earlier than planned due to weather conditions so we did fewer activities and the guide had to spend less time with us, but we got no discount, 3) we provided our feedback to Andy and we literally only received a "Oh" as response.

          Amazing Views with a Great Guide!
          Andy was a fantastic guide! His English is superb and he is fun and easy to be around. We went to places we never would have known to find otherwise - and they were incredible. We also had a couple of instances of group members leaving items behind and both times Andy went to coordinate and get the items back. We enjoyed our time with Andy and wouldn't hesitate to book another tour with him in the future.

          Individualised day trip
          We had a lovely day, the guide adapted the tour to our wishes and needs - for example taking another hiking route that is less frequented and making a stop at a tea farm

          A perfect day in Yangshuo
          We arranged a private tour with Michelle, and the experience was beyond words. Michelle spoke flawless English, provided abundant information, and guided us through the main sights. We enjoyed both a scenic boat cruise and a bike tour, with Michelle patiently snapping countless photos for us. We savored a delightful traditional meal at a charming café. Our day couldn't have been more perfect. Additionally, Michelle went above and beyond to assist us in booking tickets for the Beijing hidden city, handling every request with utmost helpfulness. We can't thank her enough and highly recommend both the tour and Michelle as an exceptional guide.

          Great day out in Yangshuo
          Jackie spoke good English and was very flexible. He knew exactly where to go and which photos to take. He made all of the ticketing and admin seamless. He even bought our ice cream when we couldn’t get Weixin to work!
