A Spell of Rain in Yangshuo, China
One of the afternoons we were in Yangshuo, a quick storm rolled through. We could see the bands of rain coming through the mountains before it actually got to us. It was ever so beautiful, and afterward a big rainbow appeared. We were lucky not to have a lot of rain the week we were there. This particular storm only lasted about 15 minutes, and then all was back to normal – hot and humid.
In the video, we are standing on the balcony of our hostel. Yes, that was our view every day for a week. It was so awesome waking up to that every day. If you ever manage to go to Yangshuo, you should stay where we did – Riverside Retreat. You can click here for more details about the hostel/hotel. It truly was a wonderful place, and the staff was simply amazing. They were very helpful.
