Yangdi

Yangdi

Yangdi is a fishing village on the Li River, the starting point for bamboo raft cruises through towering limestone karsts. One of the most photographed stretches of the Li in China, halfway between Guilin and Yangshuo.

Xianggong Hill (Xiangshan)

Perched above Xingping, Xianggong Hill reveals the karst panorama gracing the 20-yuan banknote: limestone pinnacles, the Li River, and unforgettable dawn mists.

Yulong River

The Yulong River flows south of Yangshuo between limestone karsts and rice paddies. Less crowded than the Li, it's best explored by bamboo raft or bicycle, passing ancient stone bridges and preserved rural villages.

West Street (Xi Jie)

In the heart of Yangshuo, West Street (Xi Jie) unfolds 517 metres of marble paving and 1,400 years of history, lined with shops, cafés and a cosmopolitan buzz.

Shitoucheng

Shitoucheng, the Stone Village

Perched on a rocky outcrop above the Jinsha, Shitoucheng is a Naxi village entirely built of flat stone, a former garrison post of the Qing dynasty.

Moon Hill

A natural arch piercing a karst peak 8 km from Yangshuo, Moon Hill offers a unique panorama over Guangxi's landscape after climbing 800 steps.

Fuli

Fuli Old Village

Eight kilometers from Yangshuo, Fuli Old Village preserves a Qing-era cobbled street, Kuixing Tower, and an ancient craft: the painted paper fan.

Bilian Peak

A 298 m karst peak above the Li River at Yangshuo, Bilian Peak combines landscape, the legend of the green lotus, and ancient inscriptions.
