Yangshuo Landscapes
I love lush green landscapes however the gorgeous colours of Fall or Autumn which take over the landscape with reds, oranges and yellows are a spectacular sight.
Whilst out cycling, I realized that it is unfortunately something that doesn’t happen with any real effect around Yangshuo. Most of the plant species are either evergreen or they just don’t evolve that way. Having always been under the impression that bamboo was one of those evergreen species, I must admit I was a little surprised to see all this ochre coloured bamboo sprinkled amongst the limestone karsts.
There are apparently a few species of bamboo which do die off and it looks as though we have at least one of these in the region. Not surprising if you consider there are said to be 626 species of bamboo in China with Guangxi province noted as one of the three areas which have very high diversity in species type.
This is as close as I have gotten to finding the beautiful colours of Autumn in the Yangshuo landscape.
