It's a pity not to visit the Li River in Guilin, and it's a pity not to visit the Yulong River in Yangshuo.

Yulong River, a scenic spot in Yangshuo, is known as "little Lijiang River". It is the essence of Yangshuo landscape. It is famous for its green mountains, green waters, bamboo, green bridges and wonderful villages. It is a rare beauty in Guilin and the best embodiment of Yangshuo. Yulong River originates from Guli River in Lingui District, but most of its drainage area is in Yangshuo. It flows all the way through Jinbao Township, Putao Town, Baisha Town, xinyangshuo town and Gaotian Township in Yangshuo. Finally, it meets Jinbao river at qingqidu (sunrise in Gaotian), flows into Tianjia river together, and then flows into Lijiang River from Tianjia river. In ancient times, the Yulong River was called "Anle River", because later a stone arch bridge was built on the river, which was named "Yulong bridge". Later, people simply called the Anle River Yulong River. "Meet the dragon" and "live", people's hard work on this clear water, can be seen in general.

Yulong River is generally 30-60m wide, about 44km long, with a depth of 78m, and only leg length in shallow places. The best way to enjoy the "little Lijiang River" is to hike along the Yulong River and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yangshuo.

On both sides of the Yulong River, there are many green mountains with different shapes. Along the way, there are green trees and luxuriant grass. On sunny days, there are blue sky and white clouds, clear water and green grass, bright and bright. On rainy days, there are fog and clouds, charming and charming, which make Yangshuo scenery incisively and vividly.

Walking into the Yulong River Basin, you can not only see the "refined" landscape of the Lijiang River, but also see ancient villages, very interesting waterwheel and ancient bridges with different shapes. This is a river with cultural taste. There are water, mountains, bamboo, grass, bridges, waterwheel and architecture. The historical atmosphere and the vicissitudes of time from its perspective are obviously better than the beautiful scenery of Yangshuo in Lijiang.

If you start from Yangshuo Town, Fuli bridge is the first scenery on the dragon river. Fuli bridge is 5 meters wide, 30 meters long and about 10 meters high. The bridge is arched into a semicircle, which is reflected in the water. It looks like an egg shape, just like the bright face of a big girl. It is very unique.

On both sides of the bridge, there are hundreds of hectares of fertile land. The breeze blows through the rice waves, and the white clouds roll in the blue waves. The scenery is pleasant. At both ends of the bridge, there are two ancient trees, like two guardians of the bridge. They are in the same boat, and together with Fuli bridge, they have become immortal along the Yulong River. As the Fuli bridge is half arched, from one end of the bridge to the other, the green mountains and green waters, white walls and black tiles are all reflected on the water surface, framed in the bridge, as if the landscape painting reappeared in the water and moon, elegant and pure, very durable. It is impossible to verify the year when Fuli bridge was built. It is estimated that it is not much different from Jinlong bridge, Yulong bridge, Xiangui bridge and other famous bridges, because it is obviously difficult to build only one bridge in this winding river. After passing Fuli bridge, follow Yulong River to the northwest. It's not long before you can see Yulong bridge.

The Yulong bridge was built in the Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that the name of Yulong River started from the Ming Dynasty. This bridge can be regarded as the largest ancient stone arch bridge in Yangshuo County. It is about 60 meters long, 5 meters wide, 9 meters high, and the span of a single hole is 18 meters. In 1870, the stone fence was added. The flowers, birds, fish and insects on the fence are very beautiful. Seen from a distance, the yulongqiao bridge is tall and strong. It is decorated with ancient vines and wild flowers. It is majestic and magnificent. It is very manly.

Standing on the Yulong bridge to see the surrounding scenery is a very pleasant thing. The Jinlong bridge and Fuli bridge, which are connected by a river in the upper reaches, are as vivid as twin brothers. The mountains, the fields, the water and the trees, like works on a sand table, are arranged in turn on both sides of the Strait. The sun shone in the water and pulled it straight
