China Yangshuo Mountain

The Yangshuo Mountain Retreat was built in 2001 and lies approximately 15 minutes outside of Yangshuo, China. It is about 60 kilometers from Guilin, China and has become a popular tourism destination, particularly for the Li River cruise, which takes passengers past some of the most spectacular karst peaks. These towers were formed by the gradual retreat of ancient inland seas, leaving many exotic caves and bizarre limestone formations, similar to those found in Krabi, Thailand and Halong Bay, Vietnam.The Retreat was founded as a training center, promoting local culture and tourism development.The picture is The Yulong River Valley where the Yangshuo Mountain Retreat is located.
