Views from the Peak of the Television

If anything has become famous in Yangshuo, it is the wonderful scenery that surrounds it. In order to admire the scenery, avoiding the tourist lookouts, I recommend you get close to the peak where the TV antenna is. To get there you have to wander round the back of the farmer's market, on Pantao Road, opposite the bus station. If you stay in the How Flowers Hostel you just have to ask at reception, as the road begins thereabouts. The climb is steep, and if you are slow like me it takes almost an hour. But it's worth it: the views are wonderful, fairy tale! By the way, although it is free, there is a guard in the cab of the antenna, be sure to give him a small tip.
