    Kelly's Cafe

    Grab a cheap beer and some food at Kelly's Cafe. It is a popular spot for locals and foreigners, offering great service and free Wi-Fi. The location on Guiha street is the better of their two venues.

    Yangshuo Cultural Relics Landscape Garden

    Walk 12 minutes east-southeast to the Yangshuo Cultural Relics Landscape Garden. Arrive just as the golden light begins to fade, giving you time to find a quiet spot to watch the sun dip below the horizon toward the WSW.

  3. 18:40

    DEMO

    After the sun sets, head 13 minutes back toward the Cultural Relics Landscape Garden area to DEMO. This bar is open until midnight, perfect for winding down with a drink in the evening air.

Local tip

The walk between the cafe, the garden, and the bar is short and straightforward. Keep an eye on the time to catch the last bits of golden light before it gets dark.

Check before you go

  • Kelly's Cafe does not list specific opening hours, but it is a well-established spot likely open in the late afternoon.
  • DEMO is open Mo-Su 11:00-24:00, so it will be open after sunset.
