| West Street in Yangshuo |
 |
West Street in the town center attracts a large number of younger
international travelers. West Street is filled with small shops and
vendor's stands selling all kinds of souvenirs and snacks. Chinese
teenagers mingle with young Western bicyclists and backpackers in
Internet cafes, such as Mickey Mao's, Hard Rock Cafe or at Lisa's
Cafe eating apple pie, beefsteak French fries, and ice-cream sundaes.
These comfort foods from abroad are difficult to find in China. International
tourists feel at home here because everyone speaks fluent English
with restaurants and bars provide menus in several languages. It is
the central place to get back online with Internet service in cafes
to connect travelers with their relatives throughout the world.
Enjoy a doing-nothing atmosphere, accompanied by a bottle of beer
in a cafe, watch pedestrians passing in front, chat with a charming
waitress. However, after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Xijie is packed
with mass tourists who came on shore in Yangshuo after their famous
notoriously expensive Li river cruise. They disappear around 5 o'clock. |
