I visited one of China’s most underrated travel destinations... a hidden red ribbon bridge in the mountains of Guangxi Province. This Red Ribbon Bridge sits high above the cliffs of Ruyi Peak, near Yangshuo, and is covered in thousands of red ribbons, each one representing a wish or prayer. It’s part of a centuries-old Chinese tradition, but most people outside China have never even heard of this place. We took a gondola into the mountains, walked across a glass bridge suspended in the air, and ended the day with a riverside dinner surrounded by Yangshuo’s iconic karst peaks, or as I like to call them, Gumdrop Mountains. This is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been and it’s still mostly unknown to international travelers.

This lesser-known destination, steeped in centuries-old tradition, features thousands of red ribbons representing wishes and prayers.

The editor takes us inside Allison Paige’s journey to a hidden gem in Guangxi, China: the Red Ribbon Bridge on Ruyi Peak. This isn’t your typical tourist stop—it’s a place where centuries-old tradition meets breathtaking scenery. Allison and her friend Katie began by riding a gondola up into the iconic Gumdrop Mountains (the local nickname for the karst peaks). At the bridge, thousands of red ribbons fluttered in the wind, each tied by visitors as a wish or prayer. The name “Ruyi” itself means “as desired” or “wish granted,” and the atmosphere was thick with that magic. <br> After taking in the ribbons, they climbed to a circular viewing platform with a 360° panorama of the peaks. Allison even launched a drone to capture the scale. But the day’s biggest thrill was still ahead: a glass skybridge suspended high above the valley. Katie was visibly nervous, but with Allison’s encouragement they crossed together—cheering each step. Then came a second glass bridge, this one perched on a cliff edge. <br> The adventure didn’t end there. The pair wrapped up with a riverside dinner in the heart of the mountains, listening to Vitamin String Quartet. Beyond Ruyi Peak, Allison’s trip included a hot air balloon ride over Yangshuo, biking through yellow flower fields, riding a pink scooter, and staying in a hotel built inside an old sugar mill. Everywhere she went, she found unexpected beauty. For Allison, China remains one of the most diverse, surprising, and beautiful places she’s ever explored—and this hidden red ribbon bridge is proof that the best gems are still waiting to be discovered.
