Yangshuo, China...Part THREE!

One of the things we love about Asia is how cheap it is to eat, travel, and shop compared to America.  Don't get us wrong, we love America, but we can do and see a whole lot more while vacationing throughout Asia compared to vacationing in America...

2 overnight bus tickets across China compared to 1 tank of  gas in America:

Our sleeper bus with built in beds!

Dining along the riverside compared to takeout at McDonald's:

The Menu
sweet and sour pork
peppered steak and veggies
white rice
2 chocolate milkshakes

A Mountain Retreat suite compared to a Motel 6 room:

Out on a walk



















From Beijing Jesse and I headed to Yangshuo, China...one of the most beautiful places in all China.  We spent the next few days swimming, hiking, relaxing, and taking in the beauty of Yangshuo and the Li River.  We even got the chance to ride on a bamboo raft and stay in a suite for the first time ever!  It was so refreshing to spend time with my hubby and relax after a very long school year :)

Swimming spot at the retreat and good
