About
15 km from Yangshuo County, this national 4A attraction reproduces the tranquil idyllic scene from Tao Yuanming’s classic literary work. Visitors take wooden boats across Yanzi Lake through cave waterways, wander peach blossom lanes, and watch live folk performances of Zhuang and Yao minorities. The all-in-one adult ticket includes lake cruise and shows, with no extra hidden fees.
