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.

Spent a perfect 4 days in Guilin and Yangshuo viewing the incredible karst mountains, taking things slowly and relaxing in nature and beautiful scenery. There are so scenic spots along the Li and Yulong rivers. We preferred the less crowded spots. Recommend staying in Guilin for 1 night and Yangshuo for 2 or 3. There are electric cars and bikes to rent all over, but we used e-hailing which was very reasonably priced. 📸 Some of the places pictured: Fuli Bridge, Yangshuo; Sun and Moon Towers, Guilin; Elephant Rock, Guilin; Xianggong Mountain (20 yuan viewpoint). 💰Average Price per Person: There was no entry charge for any of these places we visited, apart from Xianggong Mountain (¥60). 💞Reasons to Recommend: perfect place to relax be immersed in nature, easy and cheap to get around, excellent place to take photos. #traveldiaries #100waysoftravel #closetonature #chinatrip #china

| 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

Friends, I'd say Guilin's sunset is the ultimate visual feast! I recently witnessed a sunset in Guilin, and the breathtaking scenery is forever etched in my memory. Now, I'm sharing this super detailed guide with you all. If you're planning a trip to Guilin, save this now! Experience 1. Choosing the Viewing Spot: I recommend two perfect spots. One is Xiangong Mountain. From the summit, you can overlook the first bend of the Lijiang River. At sunset, the afterglow paints the river surface, turning the landscape into a mesmerizing orange-red watercolor painting. The other spot is Laozhai Mountain. It's less crowded, allowing for a more tranquil sunset experience. Enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the sunset, with distant mountains and villages bathed in the golden light, creating a truly magical atmosphere. 2. Timing: Check the sunset time on a weather app beforehand, and arrive at your chosen spot 1–2 hours early. The road to Xiangong Mountain, for example, is a bit rugged, so allow ample time for the climb and to secure a good viewing spot. I arrived at Xiangong Mountain 1.5 hours early, which gave me plenty of time to reach the top and snag a front-row spot at the viewing platform, ensuring a perfect view of the entire sunset. 3. Waiting for the Sunset: Once you've arrived, find a comfortable spot to sit and patiently await the sunset. Take in the surrounding scenery and feel the gentle breeze. As the sun begins its descent, the sky transforms into a vibrant spectacle of colors, shifting from azure to orange-yellow, and finally to deep purple. The entire process is incredibly awe-inspiring. Don't rush off after the sun dips below the horizon. The sky takes on a dreamy blue hue, perfect for capturing stunning photos. Experience and Feelings As the sun gracefully sets, casting its golden rays upon Guilin's landscape, the beauty is simply breathtaking. Standing atop Xiangong Mountain, I watched the Lijiang River shimmer under the sunset's glow, with rolling mountains in the distance, resembling a dynamic scroll painting. The tranquil atmosphere of Laozhai Mountain allowed me to fully immerse myself in the beauty, embracing nature's serenity. In that moment, all my worries vanished, replaced by the awe-inspiring scenery, leaving me with a sense of wonder and gratitude. What to Bring 1. Sun Protection: Sunglasses🕶️, a hat, and sunscreen are essential. The sun in Guilin is strong, even in the late afternoon, so protect your skin. 2. Camera Gear: A camera or a phone with a good camera is a must. Sunset moments are fleeting, so a good camera will help you capture these precious memories. Don't forget a power bank to avoid running out of battery. 3. Comfortable Shoes: If you're heading to Xiangong Mountain or Laozhai Mountain, you'll need to hike, so comfortable athletic or hiking shoes are essential for a comfortable climb. 4. Jacket: The temperature can drop in the evening on the mountains, so bring a light jacket to stay warm. 5. Water and Snacks: You might get thirsty or hungry while waiting for the sunset, so pack some water and snacks to keep your energy levels up. Important Notes 1. Safety: Be cautious on the way to the viewing spots, especially on mountain roads. Slow down your driving speed or pace. When enjoying the view from the mountain, stay within safe areas and avoid taking risks for photos. 2. Environmental Protection: While admiring the scenery, please respect the environment and refrain from littering. Take your trash with you when you leave to keep the area clean. 3. Respect Local Customs: Guilin is a region with diverse ethnic groups. Respect local customs and traditions to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings due to cultural differences. Guilin's sunset is truly a once-in-a-lifetime sight. Plan your trip now and experience the romance of nature!💕

|I seemed to have entered a landscape painting. On the last day of my trip to Yangshuo, I chose Huashan Yunshe, a hotel that I have treasured in my favorites for many years. The room is the elegant Sun Viewing Pavilion. [Cute] Let me talk about the advantages first: 1. The scenery is really beautiful. The infinity pool is super photogenic, and the rolling karst peaks of Guilin are in full view. 2. You can watch the sunrise from the balcony of every room in Guanrixuan, so you don’t have to get up at 4 or 5 in the morning to squeeze in with the crowds at Xianggongshan. 3. The butler service is very good. They will contact you one day in advance and provide free pick-up and drop-off at Xingping Wharf, Xianggong Mountain and Wulong Spring. The Xianggong Mountain ticket can be bought cheaply at the hotel, which is 45 per person. [Sigh] Disadvantages: 1. It is not very convenient to get to the hotel. You have to take a boat from Xingping Wharf, and then the hotel will pick you up the mountain. It will be colder in the morning and evening on the mountain, and you can only eat in the hotel. There are no other restaurants around. 2. My room was just one floor below the infinity pool, so it was quite noisy when people were taking pictures by the infinity pool, but fortunately it was only noisy when I just checked in in the afternoon. [Airplane] Itinerary: [Joyful] At 12:00, take the ferry (5/person) from Xingping Wharf to Dahebei Wharf on the other side. The hotel driver will pick you up at the wharf and drive to the hotel in 18 minutes. You can check in when you arrive. [Joyful] Afternoon tea buffet at 3pm, with lots of desserts, my mother loves it. [Joyful] You can make a round fan at 4pm. This round fan is very simple, so it’s better not to make it... [Joyful] Evening is the best time to take photos in the hotel. There are not many people in the hotel, only guests staying there, so you can take as many photos as you want. You can make an appointment in advance at the hotel for photo taking at 688/hour and vlog aerial photography at 888/hour, but I didn’t do it due to time constraints. [Joyful] At 5:30, the driver took us to Wulongquan to watch the sunset. This place can only be reached by car. On the side of the road, the thousands of acres of fertile fields are really beautiful, but the sunset also depends on luck. The weather was not very good that day and the sun was blocked by clouds. [Joyful] We can have dinner when we return to the hotel. The hotel provides a free hot pot dinner with chicken and beef. The portions are large and we even have a lot left. It was already past 8 o'clock when we finished eating. [Joyful] After dinner, I went back to the room to rest. I had to get up early the next day to watch the sunrise, so I had to go to bed early the night before. If I had the energy, the hotel would have an entertainment room with all kinds of games, such as board games, mahjong, and open-air movies. [Joyful] Get up early the next morning and watch the sunrise from the balcony, or take photos at the infinity pool on the roof. [Joyful] Have breakfast at 8 o'clock, buffet, with a wide variety of dishes, including Chinese and Western food. [Joyful] At 9 o'clock, the driver took us to Xianggong Mountain. The hotel is very close to Xianggong Mountain. It only takes 3 minutes to drive there and 20 minutes to climb the mountain. If you avoid the sunrise time, there are not many people on the top of the mountain, so you can take pictures freely. When we go down the mountain, the driver will pick us up. Count 1 hour round trip. [Joyful] Go back to the hotel to take some more photos and check out at 12 o'clock. The driver will take you down the mountain to Dahebei Pier. Please remember to make an appointment with the housekeeper one day in advance for the above activities, especially for photo shooting, it is best to make an appointment a few days in advance. Although I live in the mountains, it is still very fulfilling. Huashan Yunshe is really worth coming. Huashan when it is sunny and Yunshe when it is rainy. It will be different in any weather... Xianggong Mountain Wulong Spring Yangshuo Huashan Yunshe
