BRIGH MOON ON THE BANK OF THE LIJIANG RIVER 

 

Sometimes a small town is remembered more vividly than a world-famous metropolis. In China, the city of Yangshuo, a small ancient village located 70 km from Guilin, has become such a rare pearl. The name Yangshuo (阳朔) is translated from Chinese as “bright moon”. The village is located on the picturesque banks of the Lijiang River in the thick of the legendary Chinese karst hills.

 

For a long time, this place remained an ordinary village unknown to the world, where the everyday life of ordinary peasants proceeded leisurely. However, in the 80s, information about the town first appeared in the Lonely Planet guide, after which the number of tourists coming here grew every year. This is perhaps one of the most comfortable, calm and beautiful places in the entire Celestial Empire.

 

The city is simply created from myths and miracles and I, of course, also succumbed to its charm and started a spontaneous shoot with the found beauty Wang Xue-Yi.
