Ride, raft and relax. Get out of the office and get out of the city, Active Yangshuo is all about exercise and fun. This weekend escape is the tour for the expat who’s been stuck inside for too long and wants a change from running on treadmills or climbing invisible stairs. Challenge yourself on a 60km mountain bike ride through karst scenery, and breathe the fresh air that cities just don’t have. Have some fun getting wet white water rafting then relax in a town close enough for a weekender yet far enough away to be an escape. If you’re energetic enough there is even rock climbing for beginners to experts. Everything is organised from pick up to drop off allowing you to truly forget work!
