As children, we always wanted to grow up quickly, thinking that adulthood would bring boundless freedom; but when we truly stepped into society, we found that our days were trapped by rules and regulations, like a squeezed sponge, even our emotions dried up. So, I decided to escape for a while, to give myself some breathing room. This time, I came to Yangshuo - a small town that seems to have stepped out of a painting. 🏞 Why Yangshuo? If there really is a "Xanadu" in the world, it's probably here. The Li River in the early morning is shrouded in mist, green hills are reflected in the water, bamboo rafts drift slowly, and the water is undisturbed. Sunlight sprinkles on the fields, smoke curls up in the distance, as if I had wandered into a slow-motion dream. 🌿 Steal a Day of Freedom Amidst the Mountains and Rivers 🌅 Morning Boat Ride｜Take a bamboo raft down the Li River, watch the morning light fill the river, so quiet you can hear your heartbeat. 🚲 Afternoon Cycling｜Cycle along the Yulong River, sunlight dappled through the trees, the wind filled with the scent of rice paddies. 🌆 Nightfall｜West Street is brightly lit, bustling yet gentle, walk into any bar and listen to a folk song. 👗 Preparation Before Departure Clothing Suggestions｜Light-colored cotton and linen dresses, retro shirts, loose and lazy, like a hermit among the mountains and rivers. Sleep Aid｜No matter how beautiful the scenery, the night needs tranquility. Light the Pear Incense🍐 before bed, the pear fragrance is elegant, the agarwood is distant, making even dreams gentle. 🚗 How to Get There 🚄 High-speed Rail｜To Guilin Station, transfer to the EMU to Yangshuo, the journey takes about 20 minutes. 🚘 Self-driving｜Drive along the Guiyang Highway, the scenery along the way is picturesque, you can stop and enjoy the idyllic scenery at any time. 📸 The Most Beautiful Moments in Yangshuo 📍 Xiangong Mountain Sunrise｜Climb high and look far, the morning mist is thick, and only green hills and clear water remain between heaven and earth. 📍 Yulong River Bamboo Raft｜Green bamboos line both banks, the bamboo raft drifts downstream, everything slows down. 📍 West Street Night Scene｜A thousand-year-old street, with flickering lights, as if stepping back in time. 🍜 Must-try Food Beer Fish｜A must-try in Yangshuo, the fish is tender and has a unique Guilin rice wine aroma. Guilin Rice Noodles｜The soul of the locals' breakfast, a bowl is enough to soothe the heart. Stuffed Snails｜The snail meat is chewy, paired with a sweet and sour sauce, it's a burst of flavor. 🏡 Living in a Landscape Painting Mountain View Homestay｜Open the window to see rolling green hills, and fall asleep to the sound of frogs at night. Peaceful Sleep｜Light the Pear Incense🍐, the agarwood lingers, away from the hustle and bustle of the world, enjoy a moment of tranquility. 🔖 Travel Moments The sunrise at Xiangong Mountain is definitely worth getting up early for, it's as beautiful as a dream. Yulong River is most suitable for cycling, the scenery along the way is stunning, ride slowly, don't rush. Have a drink on West Street at night, find an old bar, listen to an old song, and feel the warmth of this city.

#climb mountains Xianggong Mountain is famous for the famous Yangshuo sunrise. It is located in a relatively remote mountainous area. It takes about an hour to drive from the city. To arrive at the scenic spot, you need to buy tickets first🎫. After entering the scenic spot, you have to climb a set of artificial stairs. It takes about 20 minutes without being too tiring. Standing on the observation deck, you can overlook the entire mountainous area from the commanding heights. It is completely like a giant splash-ink landscape painting, and it is a 180-degree panoramic view. It is super cinematic and beautiful ❤️ The stairs in the scenic area are well designed. After viewing from the highest point of the viewing platform, you can go down one level along the downhill road. There is also a viewing platform on each floor for taking photos📷. Along the way, you can see the village below you getting clearer and clearer. It is very easy to take pictures. , recommended👍 🎯Yangshuo one-day itinerary suggestions You can sign up for a one-day tour or drive around by yourself.

| 3 Days 2 Nights Travel Itinerary, The Ultimate Pitfall-Avoidance Guide. Traveling with kids and dogs in Yangshuo, where every step is a scene, and it's picturesque like a scroll‼️ Although mom had a little fall while cycling, luckily we didn't fall into any traps, no queuing, no traffic jams, and we had a happy 3 days and 2 nights. Here comes the travel guide Day 1: The most beautiful Yulong River cycling ●Route: Depart from the hotel👉Ten-Mile Gallery👉Gongnong Bridge👉Yulong River Trail (navigation)👉Yulong River Dam👉Yangshuo check-in point at the end of West Street. Enjoy delicious food on West Street in the evening. ●No entrance fee for the whole journey, few people and beautiful scenery‼️ ●Tips: West Street is similar to most ancient town streets in the country, heavily commercialized, and not worth strolling around. Better to take more photos by the water Day 2: Xianggong Mountain👉Xingping Wharf👉20 Yuan Background Spot👉Xingping Ancient Town ●Xianggong Mountain: Take a boat from the wharf of Xingping Ancient Town to the opposite shore, the boat fare is 10 Yuan/person, it is recommended not to skimp. After landing, take a chartered car to Xianggong Mountain, 150 Yuan/person, including the entrance ticket of 60 Yuan, which can take you directly to the entrance. The viewing platform of Xianggong Mountain offers the most beautiful scenery of Yangshuo, which is definitely worth a visit ●20 Yuan Background Spot: I have a detailed introduction in my previous note, everyone be careful not to be fooled to other places. ●Xingping Ancient Town: Personally, I think it lacks distinctive features, you can choose whether to go according to your preferences, not far from the 20 Yuan Background Spot. ●Note: Parking and electric vehicles are charged‼️ Day 3: Fuli Bridge ●The scenery here is beautiful, and if you have enough time, you must go. It is also the starting point of the bamboo rafting wharf. ●Tip: Because we had to hit the road, we played for a while on the third morning and then left. You can arrange bamboo rafting on the third day‼️ 【Precautions】 ●Yulong River bamboo rafting: Be sure to book in advance, tickets are released promptly at 8 pm every night, and we missed out because we missed it. ●Renting electric motorcycles: It is recommended to rent from the hotel or homestay where you are staying, 30 Yuan/day, ride back directly after use, convenient and affordable. ●Norovirus: I heard that this virus has been quite serious recently, so we didn't eat any raw or cold food. The taste of beer fish is mediocre, but there is a beef rice noodle that is really delicious, economical, and the kids also liked it a lot, we ate there for two consecutive meals.

I posted a guide to Yangshuo before and found that many friends didn't understand how to get to Xianggong Mountain. Actually, I was also very confused when I was making the guide. This time, I, a detail control, will explain to you how to play Xingping Ancient Town + Xianggong Mountain once and for all. It's very dry, so I suggest you collect it! ✨Xingping is a town in Yangshuo County, closer to Yangshuo High-speed Railway Station. You can take a bus for 5 yuan/person from the station and arrive at Xingping Ancient Town Bus Station in 20 minutes. ✨The whole tour of Xingping Town is along the two banks of the Lijiang River. The main attractions are Xingping Ancient Town and 20 yuan RMB on one side, and Xianggong Mountain Viewing Platform and Jia Tianxia Viewing Platform on the opposite bank. 🌈Check-in tips: 🌸Xingping Ancient Town The ancient town is not big, all are food selling and small commodity shops, 1 hour is enough for shopping. 🌸20 yuan RMB To be honest, it's not the same as it used to be on the RMB. The electric boats in the Lijiang River are too scenic and noisy, stirring up waves of water ripples. The parking fee for electric cars is 3-5 yuan. It is recommended to park on the roadside for 2 minutes and quickly check in and leave. 🌸Cycling along the Lijiang River Go straight ahead along the 20 yuan road, and the places where there are small roads down to the river on the right are worth seeing. It's much better than the 20 yuan place, and parking is free. You can also see the reflection of Huangbu on the opposite bank. 🌸Xianggong Mountain Xianggong Mountain is on the opposite bank. You need to take a boat across the river first. There are 3 piers in Xingping Ancient Town to cross the river: Xingping Pier, Ergendi Pier, and Mashan Pier. I suggest riding an electric donkey, enjoying the scenery of the Lijiang River along the way, and crossing the river at Mashan Pier, where there are the fewest people. The entrance fee for Xianggong Mountain is 60. The ticket office is halfway up the mountain, so you need to cross the river first and then take a sightseeing car to the entrance of the scenic spot. What's unreasonable is that there is no official ferry boat and shuttle bus in the scenic area. You can only take the local people's car to get to Mashan Pier. There are local people selling all-inclusive tickets for Xianggong Mountain (including 60 tickets + round-trip ferry + round-trip sightseeing car). The average price is reasonable at 80-100. Be careful not to buy it too expensive. After arriving at the entrance of the scenic spot, you still need to climb the stairs for half an hour to the top of the mountain viewing platform. Jiuma Painting Mountain It's right next to Mashan Pier. After crossing the river, it's a great viewing point on the opposite bank; there's also a viewing point on the way to Xianggong Mountain by ferry electric car, which usually stops for 3-5 minutes for photos. Jia Tianxia There are also all-inclusive tickets for Jia Tianxia Viewing Platform at Mashan Pier. I didn't go, so I don't know the price. You can also see that mountain on the way to Xianggong Mountain by ferry electric car, but the perspective is not very good. 🌈One-day tour route arrangement: Xingping Ancient Town 20 yuan RMB Cycling along the river Mashan Pier (view Jiuma Painting Mountain) Xianggong Mountain Jia Tianxia (selective) 🌈Other tips: ✨Take a Lijiang River cruise at Xingping Pier or Ergendi Pier. ✨There is also an old village mountain, but it is a wild scenic spot, climbing is dangerous.

About one hour from the stunning town of Yangshuo, Guangxi province sits the 20 RMB note scenic area. Gaze at the stunning karst mountains, take a breathtaking boat ride on the river and snap a stunning sun set shot. I used a drone for some photos, my phone and my camera for others too. It's just a beautiful place to take photos. I recommend sunrise and sunset for photography. Tip: Take a didi or taxi to Xiang Gong Scenic area nearby. 相公山景区 for a beautiful elevated view. Climb steps for fifteen minutes to get THE epic view of Yangshuo Karst mountains. Hotel tip: There are many options nearby, just search for 20 yuan scenic area and stay one or two nights.

Xianggong Hill offers a different angle to see the beauty of the Li River. It is such an amazing place to see the sunrise, the view is just breathtaking! If you wish to take photos, the best time is early morning. It was beautiful sunrise on the Xianggong hill. Definitely the best sunrise I ever saw in my life! Needed to wake up at 3:30 a.m. and take a bus to the hill (bus takes around 40-50 minutes) and then clump the hill. It takes around 15 minutes to climb up to the hill, and when you are on the top you can see a beautiful river and countless mountains around. Xianggong Hill is on the west shore of the Li River, near Xingping ancient fishing town, about 28 km from Yangshuo and 60 km from downtown Guilin. The fee for the site is 60 yuan per person plus I paid 20 yuan for the bus from Yangshuo to Xianggong hill. #ThisIsChina #summervacation #nationalpark #awesomepic#hiking #unforgettableexperiences#scenicspotguide#hiking

Hike up Xianggong Mountain and you will be rewarded with epic views of the Li River and the surrounding mountains of Guilin. Located just 10km away from Xingping Old Town, this mountain is popular for catching the sunrise. If you can wake up early and reach there at 5am in the morning, you can begin your hike up in time to catch the beautiful sunrise. With the morning clouds drifting among the mountains, it’s nothing short of a magical view especially on a clear day. This hike is a mere 15-20mins, and its mostly stairs climbing. There’s an entrance fee of CNY60 and it’s open all day. You can rent a car from Yangshuo to Xianggong Mountain and a round trip will cost you about CNY300. Or if you are staying nearby, you can check with your hotel if they have any transportation service that can take you there. #hiking #guilin #china #yangshuo #unforgettableexperiences #scenicspotguide #naturalwonders #travelinspiration

Planning ahead for Guilin travel helps avoid scams!! Recommended itinerary: 1 day in Yangshuo, 1 day in Xingping Ancient Town. This guide focuses on how to explore Xingping Ancient Town without pitfalls! ✅ Must-visit attraction in Guilin — 【20 Yuan Background Scenic Spot】 Located in Xingping, not Yangshuo! Don't go to the wrong place! Xingping is closer to Yangshuo Station! ✅ How to enjoy Xingping Bamboo Raft 1.🎫 We bought tickets from locals at 160 RMB/person (including sightseeing car). You can just buy the bamboo raft ticket (140 RMB) and drive/walk to 【Chaobanshan Pier】 to board! (Boarding and disembarking at the same pier) 2. Cruise Route Choose the 【Chaobanshan-Nine Horses Fresco Hill】 round-trip route! This route goes from 【Chaobanshan Pier】 to 【Nine Horses Fresco Hill】 and returns to 【Chaobanshan Pier】. Electric bamboo raft, about 1h duration, 4 people per raft. Staff will help arrange sharing, no need to find partners yourself. At Nine Horses Fresco Hill, the boatman will have passengers switch seats so everyone gets a front view! (This is great!! No tipping expected!) ✅ How to explore Xingping without bamboo raft 1. Cycling Route Rent an e-bike for 20 RMB/day. Start from 【Xingping Ancient Town】, pass 【20 Yuan Viewing Platform】, ending at 【Lengshui Ferry】. Total 6km, ~30min ride (1h round trip). 2. 20 Yuan Viewing Platform The platform is FREE!! Just find a crowded spot to see it. 3. Lengshui Ferry At 【Lengshui Ferry】, take a 5 RMB ferry to the opposite bank for a close-up view of 【Nine Horses Fresco Hill】!! The fresco is visible right after disembarking - no need to walk far! After viewing, return. Many villagers may offer tour packages - don't go! They're undeveloped scenic spots not worth seeing. ✅ How to get from Yangshuo to Xingping in peak season 1. NEVER take direct transport from Yangshuo to Xingping in peak season - you'll be stuck in traffic for hours!! 2. Recommended route: Take a taxi from Yangshuo to Xianggong Mountain. After descending, take a shuttle directly to Li River Ferry (or taxi directly there if not hiking). Take 5 RMB boat to Lengshui Ferry, then rent an e-bike to Xingping Ancient Town (return bike there). This route avoids all traffic! 3. Starting from Lengshui Ferry, you can reverse the cycling route I recommended, ending at Xingping Ancient Town.

Folks, I just returned from Yangshuo, and its beauty truly lives up to the hype—though the crowds are insane. To help you enjoy your Yangshuo trip, I've compiled some key tips to dodge the pitfalls! Yangshuo's attractions mainly cluster along the Li River and Yulong River areas. Xingping Ancient Town, the 20 RMB background scenery, and Xianggong Mountain belong to the Li River route; while Yulong River bamboo rafting, Ten-Mile Gallery, and West Street are part of the Yulong River route. **Itinerary Tips** • Day 1: Take a cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo to soak in the stunning Li River views. • Day 2: Experience bamboo rafting on the Yulong River, then cycle through Ten-Mile Gallery. **Yulong River Bamboo Rafting Guide** • Top pick: Shui’edi Dock → Comprehensive Dock (200 RMB/raft, 4 drops). This section offers breathtaking scenery in Ten-Mile Gallery. • Second choice: Jima Dock → Comprehensive Dock (320 RMB/raft, 9 drops). Equally stunning views. • Backup option: Xiatang Dock → Jima Dock (200 RMB/raft, 4 drops). *Pro tip:* Book raft tickets a day in advance at 8 PM sharp. If sold out, try buying onsite around 5 PM (mornings are crowded). Skip tipping the raft operators. **Transport** Rent an e-bike (bargain for ~20 RMB/day)—it’s the best way to explore compact Yangshuo. **Scenic Cycling Route** Ten-Mile Gallery (North Gate) → Gongnong Bridge → Big Banyan Tree → Moon Hill → Back to Gongnong Bridge → Yulong Water Rhythm → Jima Dock → Chaoyang Dam → Shuangliu Yidu Pavilion → Opposite Huayue Restaurant (photo spot: "Yangshuo" wooden hut & rice fields) → Guilin Romance Park **Other Pitfalls to Avoid** • Skip "Haruki Murakami & One Foot Rice Field"—overpriced coffee, crowds, and poor photo ops. • Start cycling after 4 PM: cooler temps + golden sunset views. • Avoid West Street: overcrowded and overly commercialized. • Always confirm prices before ordering to prevent scams (check group deals too). • Skip taxis: traffic jams and driver surcharges are common. • Midday break: Chill at a scenic café instead of braving the heat. • Ride safely—narrow roads and heavy traffic demand caution (and sunscreen!). • Beware of slippery, algae-covered riverbank paths—seriously hazardous! **Accommodation** Stay near Ten-Mile Gallery for tranquility and gorgeous surroundings. **Food Recs** • *Xie Sanjie’s Beer Fish:* Authentic Yangshuo dishes, including stellar beer fish. • *Qiongda Zaopo Cu:* Spicy-sour fermented broth perfect for seafood hotpot. • *Grandma’s Coconut Chicken:* Tender chicken in fragrant broth, elevated by dipping sauces. • *Guiba Mianmian Ice:* Creamy mango shaved ice—a summer lifesaver!

I’m at Xianggong Mountain!

I've been to Guilin many times, but this time I specifically joined my fellow outdoor enthusiasts to hike in Yangshuo. Before reaching the starting point, we discovered that Sunset Hill was nearby. Sunset Hill is known as the best spot to view the "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". So, we got off the car and climbed to the summit. The karst landscape unfolded before our eyes—endless mountains shrouded in mist, resembling a grand ink painting, a real-life version of the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains. After checking off Sunset Hill, we headed to Xianggong Mountain to begin our hike. Route: Xianggong Mountain > Jia Tianxia > Nine Horses Fresco Hill (crossing the river by ferry) > the 20 RMB banknote background > Xingping Ancient Town. The Li River meanders through the landscape, and as we moved forward, the long scroll of green mountains and clear waters gradually unfolded, making us feel as if we were walking within a painting. Unfortunately, we didn't make it to the summit of Xianggong Mountain this time, leaving a bit of regret. We'll come back next time.

The attractions are concentrated, so you can arrange a citywalk day tour, try authentic local rice noodles and oil tea, recommended Guoji Oil Tea. It’s best to book a hotel near the Sun and Moon Twin Towers for convenient access to anywhere. 🔶 On the second day, after a bowl of noodles in the morning, take the high-speed train to Yangshuo, then take a bus from Yangshuo Station to Xingping Ancient Town, the filming location on the back of the 20 RMB note. Have lunch in the ancient town and try the local bamboo tube chicken. After checking into the hotel in the afternoon, arrange to watch the sunset at A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains. In the evening, stroll and dine on West Street.

There are many route options; the "Shu'edi Pier → Comprehensive Pier" is the classic route but very crowded. You can choose the "Jima Pier → Comprehensive Pier" route, which includes the highlights but with fewer people at the starting pier.

#Get a discount without relying on luck For those who like to watch the sunrise on a beautiful view, if you come to Qingping, you should not miss this mountain, Mt. Xianggoang. It can be said that climbing one mountain will give you many experiences. We stayed on the opposite side of the mountain, in Qingping city. That made us wake up early, around 5 am. Then the agent took us to the ferry point. At that time, the ferry was just a small boat. Along the way, we also saw cormorants sitting on logs waiting to work. After crossing the river, we still had to take a golf cart to the ticket booth to go up the mountain. Yes, we had to walk up the mountain, but don't worry, there were many people on that mountain waiting to watch the sunrise. After enjoying the sunrise, you will still have time to take pictures of the beautiful view on this side before having to take the ferry back to Qingping. Believe me, it is another worthwhile experience.
