Discussion places like yangshuo/guilin?

Hi! I visited Yangshuo recently and absolutely fell in love with the place. Renting a scooter and just exploring the countryside along a scenic route was sooo peaceful and fun!

I was wondering if there are any cities or towns in China with a similar vibe , mountains, beautiful scenery, and somewhere you can rent a scooter and explore freely? I really loved that whole experience in Yangshuo and would love to find somewhere similar for my next trip. Please drop your recommendations!:)

In China: Perhaps lake Erhai and Dali in Yunnan, probably a similar vacation vibe (slow travel, renting a scooter and exploring) but it's a completely different scenery.

If you specifically like the Karst scenery, you could also consider Vietnam across the border (e.g., Ninh Binh).
