Puyi and Fuli

Puyi (2-hr round-trip)

The tiny market settlement of Puyi on the river and just out from the tower karst peaks, offers a 2-hour excursion from Yangshuo. You’ll see all manner of things for sale here, from fruits and vegetables to dogs and cats (not the pet variety) and traditional medicines. Market days here are those ending with 3, 6 and 9. A few years ago it was possible to take a boat here and back from Yangshuo, but the local government has put a stop to this, although inquiries by the river might yield a result if you’re lucky.

Fuli (3-4-hr circuit)

This charming old market town lies just seven miles south of Yangshuo on the Li River. As with Puyi, in the past you could take small boats down here from Yangshuo, but now, while you can take a boat here, you can’t get off. Check with local agents to see if this has changed, but if not you have a choice of bus, taxi or cycling, the latter offering an exciting jaunt through the countryside. Market days here are those ending with 2, 5 and 8.
