Railay Beach is one of those dreamed for finds and isolated broad curve of bay lapped by the warm azure waters of the Andaman Sea. Railay Beach and its bay are protected on three sides by towering limestone cliffs topped with a lush and verdant tropical rain forest.

What to do

Water sports are by far the biggest attraction of Railay Beach diving and snorkeling of course and sea kayaking is popular too. But novices must be accompanied by an expert or get lessons before venturing out and never kayak without a companion.

The rain forests and jungle above Railay Beach give other opportunities for exhilarating activities. Elephant trekking through the dense forest is a fascinating way to get up close and personal with this primordial environment. Don?t fancy and elephant then why not trek on foot through the forest? It is possible to join an organised trek and experience the real rain forest at close quarters and first hand; an experience that will live in the memory.

The area also contains many fast flowing rivers that empty into the Andaman Nationals Joe Blanton Jersey , these are ideal for white water rafting.

But if these activities seem too strenuous then learn to cook Thai food with one of Krabi?s most illustrious chefs. Lean how to prepare five different dishes ready to serve Thai style and enjoy eating the creation afterwards.

Because of the cliff formations that define Railay Beach rock climbing is a very popular sport with many areas accessible for climbing along the coast or on one of the many islands. Climbing schools abound.

Shopping

Because of its small size shopping is limited in Railay but there are a number of convenience shops and those selling souvenirs and bric a brac. Food and grocery shops are very limited so eating is confined to the restaurants and the few hotels.

Nightlife

Railay is small no more than a large village and that gives it its appeal and charm but do not expect much in the way of nightlife. Hotels and guest houses have bars. Locally owned bars tend to be confined to the beach itself Nationals Gio Gonzalez Jersey , the Last Bar is just that Nationals Stephen Strasburg Jersey , they lay out beach mats in the evening catching a Singha or Tiger beer while watching the sunset is a sublime experience.

The more lively venues are to be found near the Diamond Cave area of Railay where there are some Rasta type bars that are good to chill the night away.

Where to stay

Railay is a small town and accommodation is limited so it is advisable to book early. Failing this Railay is near Ao Nang and Krabi town itself so getting to Railay and back is not a problem as both Ao Nang and Krabi town have a large selection of guest houses and hotels to suit every pocket.

The range of accommodation is vast from the luxurious Ton Sai Beach Resort to more modest ten or twelve bedded guesthouses.

Where to Eat

All the hotels have restaurants with many of them fronting the beach all serve breakfast Nationals Matt Wieters Jersey , lunch Nationals Jayson Werth Jersey , dinner and supper. The food is Southern Thai of reasonable quality and price.

How to Get There

Railay Beach can be treated almost as an island Nationals Shawn Kelley Jersey , it is isolated on the end of a peninsular and the final approaches can only be gained by boat. A Longtail boat will take about 15 minutes from Ao Nang and cost 100 baht with a minimum of 6 passengers.

In Conclusion

Railay is small and comfortable with breathtaking views and scenery. It is a quiet resort that would not suit every one but for those seeking a different destination that is small and quiet this is the place to stay in Krabi.

CHONGQING£¬ July 23 (Xinhua) -- Square dancing£¬ a favorite community activity in Chinese cities£¬ is finding popularity in the countryside as booming tourism is seeing urbanites take the practice with them as they travel.

Encouraged by authorities who see it as a new economic growth engine£¬ rural tourism is on the fast track in China. It drew an investment of about 122 billion yuan (18 billion U.S. dollars) in the first half of 2016£¬ a year-on-year increase of 62.3 percent£¬ according to the China National Tourism Administration (NTA).

The NTA said about two billion tourists visited China's countryside last year.

The increasing number of urbanites visiting her hometown has had one big effect on Yang Shihui's lifestyle: The 48-year-old has taken up square dancing.

"The visitors are used to square dancing£¬ so when they come for vacations in our village£¬ they dance here too£¬" Yang said. "I have learned some of their routines and have become quite addicted."

Yang owns a homestay in Xinglong Village£¬ which sits in a remote corner of southwest China's Chongqing Municipality. Xinglong is typical of Chinese villages on the edges of urban sprawl whose scenery and fresh air make them attractive retreats for city slickers.

"Most of my guests are retired citizens from Chongqing£¬ and they all love square dancing£¬" Yang said.

Many public squares in Chinese cities come alive at night with senior citizens performing choreographed dance routines as music blasts out of loudspeakers.

In Xinglong£¬ they initially danced in the courtyards of homestays£¬ but these spaces proved too small as the numbers grew. The local government responded by building a big public square to cater to the dancers.

Sited at the foot of a mountain£¬ with a pavilion to one side of it and a meandering stream to another£¬ "the square is part of our plan to bolster tourism here£¬" said Ran Hucheng£¬ Party chief of Dong'an Township£¬ which administers Xinglong.

The Chongqing government has invested heavily in rural tourism in recent years. In 2014 alone£¬ it spent more than 33 million yuan to help develop the sector in places like Xinglong£¬ according to the municipal tourism bureau.
