**Note: We did not purchase our advanced tickets through this tour group - I am posting here because there is no other attraction listing for Ruyi Peak, which is relatively new.**
**Warning: I would NOT recommend this attraction for people with a fear of heights. The attraction is all about walking on high areas between and along peaks with suspension bridges, glass and metal mesh walkways, and precipitous views!**
This attraction is a series of ways to get across and between a few of the peaks in the limestone karst mountain range near Yangshuo. It is relatively new, so not all that crowded, with amazing views of the surrounding mountain range. I would leave at least a half day to see all of the attraction, wear good shoes, and be prepared to walk a LOT of steps up and down and across! We came with a private tour guide and driver, who drove us from our Yangshuo hotel.
The attraction starts with a spectacular cable car ride (each car seats 4-6 people) up among the peaks to the starting area. Enjoy the views while sitting! When you exit, you walk up many steps towards a suspension bridge between two peaks - the red ribbons tied along the bridge for luck are lovely as they dance in the wind. From there, you climb up many steps to a platform with a 360-degree view of the surrounding area. From there, climb down many steps to a winding mesh/glass walkway through the tree canopy among the peaks. From there, walk down a ramp (with some fun figures of rabbits and pumpkins - they may have been for the Mid-Autumn Festival) and head towards a glass walkway along one of the karst mountains. From there, you walk back up steps to the gondola station. Along the way there are several shaded and comfortable places to sit and have a snack and a nice drink or ice cream - helpful in the heat and humidity! Anytime you will be walking on glass, they give you little booties to put over your shoes that you remove at the end of that part of the attraction.
Overall, I would recommend this for families and couples who are healthy and able to walk a lot of stairs comfortably in the heat and humidity. It was fun and well-planned with amazing views which we enjoyed!
