Shiwai Taoyuan(Yangshuo Xanadu), a national 4A-level scenic spot, nestles in Baisha Town, Yangshuo, about 15 km from the county seat. Inspired by Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Spring, it blends idyllic countryside scenery with ethnic culture perfectly.

A boat ride on Yanzi Lake is the highlight: glide past lotus ponds, through the dark natural Yanzi Cave, and emerge into a serene world of green hills, farmlands and rustic villages. On foot, explore ethnic architecture like Dong wind-and-rain bridges, drum towers and stilted houses, plus Mingyuan Villa with its Suzhou garden charm. Enjoy lively folk dances, songs and interactive activities such as paper-making workshops. A harmonious blend of natural beauty and ethnic traditions, it is a real-life escape into a peaceful "paradise on earth."
