We had just finished enjoying an attraction and were walking around and noticed some people taking pictures. We looked around and then noticed why they were doing so. The background was amazingly beautiful and so we snapped some pics. I asked about the place and they said it was Fuli Bridge and then I remembered the attraction on the list of things to do I had written down from TA. It is well worth the stop if you’re in the area.

Very popular spot, so it’s difficult to be alone on this bridge. Try and check several locations around the bridge to take some nice pics. Very nice view from the bridge. Easy to reach with scooter or taxi.

Most of the stunning and breathtaking sceneries in Guilin are concentrated in Yangshuo. And there are three main areas of attractions in Yangshuo. One centers around the areas of the Yulong River that stretches from Yulong Bridge and beyond to Gong Nong Bridge. The second center of attractions focused around the stretch of road known as the Ten Mile Gallery. The third area concentrated around the Xingping Old town and the stretch of the Li River from Xingping to Yangdi. If you want to cover all the attractions in these 3 centers in Yangshuo, it probably takes you more than 3 days.
I was in Yangshuo only for 3 days. First day, I could only explore the West Street and the Yangshuo town as I only reached Yangshuo town from the airport by the early afternoon. On the second day morning, I went to Xingping and explored the old town and hiked from Xingping to the Nine Horses Mural Hill. I did not have the luxury of the time to hike to Yangdi as in the afternoon, I went to hike along the stretch of road from Gong Nong Bridge to Yangshuo town. It was only on the third day that I managed to find my way to Yulong Bridge and Fuli Bridge.
Let me share how I venture into this part of Yangshuo. That morning I took a bus from Yangshuo North Bus Station and headed towards the Shangrila Park in Yangshuo. Shangrila Park is located to the north of the Yulong River and the bus fare cost me RMB 8. I heard that Shangrila Park has one of the most breathtaking scenery so I decided to go and have a look. I was too naïve to think that I could walk from Shangrila Park to the Yulong Bridge as the distance on the map appeared to me `walkable'.
The scenery at Shangrila Park was one of the most gorgeous I came across in Yangshuo. There is an island in the middle of a lake and the boat will bring you around this little island if you paid for the RMB70 admission ticket. We did not pay for the admission and instead, strolled into the adjacent village overlooking Shangrila Park. From here, the views were spectacular. The shimmering lake and the karst mountain scenery unveiled like a landscape painting in front of us. There was only few people in the village. We saw few young village ladies washing their clothes by the lake. A pristine village landscape dotted by the karst mountains and the beaming lake. We felt lost in a wonderland.
The villagers laughed at us when we said we wanted to walk to Yulong River. At their advice, we flagged a bus to Baisha town from Shangrila Park. We paid RMB5 (per pax) for the bus fare. The bus alighted us at a road junction at Baisha town and the conductor advised us to take another bus across the road to Yulong Bridge.
We had our lunch at Baisha Town before heading to Yulong Bridge. I understand from the local people at Baisha town that Fuli Bridge, Yulong Bridge and the Dragon Bridge are nearby to each other and I should not have problem walking from one bridge to another.
I paid another RMB4 (per pax) for the journey from Baisha Town to Dragon Bridge. The Dragon Bridge was a quite a modern bridge so not much historical significance. The panoramic view from the Dragon Bridge was quite a nice one with the bamboo rafts drifting down the Yulong River. From Dragon Bridge, I decided to walk to Yulong Bridge. It took me more than half an hour to walk my way to Yulong Bridge. It was quite a straight road but the afternoon sun was scorching hot especially in August. Luckily, I armed myself with an umbrella but still I could feel the heat wave that swarmed around me. The riverside view along this stretch of road was spectacular.
Yulong Bridge was an old bridge. Standing on top of the bridge gave me a spectacularly stunning view of the river dotted by the numerous bamboo rafts floating on her meandering body. The town beside the bridge was a small one and you could see the quay crowded with many visitors.
I rest for a while and then walked my way to Fuli Bridge. There was a signboard along the road as I walked out from Yulong Bridge that indicated the direction of Fuli Bridge. I followed the direction and came to a village. The weather was scorching hot and I was sweating profusely. It took another half an hour to walk from the entrance of the village to Fuli Bridge. I met a group of Caucasians cycling past me. I really saluted them with respect and admiration in their ability to weather the terrible heat.
When I eventually reached the site of the bridge, I almost wanted to collapse. But the views were breathtaking. It was so pristine so far from the madding crowd in this part of China. I was panting as I climbed up the arch bridge but the panoramic view was rewarding. As I stood at the bridge, I could see a group of Caucasians swimming in the little river. If I had brought along my swimming trunk, I would have jumped into the water like them. The other side of bridge was the karst mountain scenery and the meandering river shimmered under the hot scorching sun.
I went to the riverside to have a chat with one of the Caucasian swimmers. They rode their motorcycles over here. I felt proud with myself. I took bus and walked my way here. A tiring hike but the views were rewarding.
I love the scenery here at Fuli Bridge: Pristine, Tranquil and Calm.

This isn't much of a tourist attraction, so there won't be many big tourist bus and hoards of tourist. It is nested in a smaller village, basically the bridge is over 500 years old and not restored, which makes it good for photo taking. It is popular among wedding couples for their photo shoots. The water was calm and most parts were clear that you could see water plants and small fishes. Price for bamboo rafting was on the high side, 300rmb for 4 people, up stream and down, probably takes an hour and over. We had a nice and patient boatman, and we even took over and did some rafting ourselves too, which was fun for the kids. After this is done, we proceeded to Jiu Xian village which is also one of the older and not much restored village.

My bucket list was short: find and marry a Chinese wife, visit Guilin and Huangshan . That’s it. I came to China in April and married my wonderful wife. Then we set out on our honeymoon. Our first stop was Guilin and the surrounding areas.
Towards the end of my research in the U.S., I discovered Mulan tours – a small, customizable, English and Chinese speaking, tour company located in this region of China. I exchanged emails with Mulan a few times and we set up a privagte tour of Yangshuo on a specific day.
On the appointed day we met Jane, our guide. She encouraged us to let her know whenever we saw something that interested us and she would stop the car. Try doing that with a busload of people.
As part of our tour we had lunch near scenic Yulong bridge. After lunch we proceeded to another ancient bridge - Fuli Bridge. Jane told us that it was even older than the previous one. By itself, it was more photogenic than the previous bridge. With my wife in the picture, it was an added bonus and a good memory for us.

beautiful old bridge with no traffic and 2 grand old trees hanging on each side

We walked from Yulong Bridge to Jinlong Bridge. Before riding the bamboo raft at Jinlong Bridge, we arranged with a driver there to bring us to Fuli Bridge for 30 yuan. It is not convenient to walk there as it is along a road. This bridge is lovely and not crowded, almost peaceful.

i preferred Fuli Bridge to Yulong bridge simply because it is a lot less croweded even though there are a lot of food stalls there.

very beautiful and scenic bike ride and views. Worth cycling to if you have the chance! Get a tourist map and there are many day-long or half day-long trips noted down.
