兴坪古镇

Xingping Ancient Town, Guilin's most famous ancient town, is also the most beautiful ancient town on the edge of the Lijiang River! Here is a 20 yuan RMB pattern punching ground, there is invincible Lijiang scenery, here is the most special old village mountain, there are the quaint Lijiang River fishermen, in short, Guilin must come to Xingping Ancient Town! ! !

Kotsubo Shuchin was established in the year 265 of the Three Kingdoms of Wu Kanro, and it was under the jurisdiction of yohei Prefecture. Inside not only nine horse painting mountain, Luojishan, lotus rock, Tianshui Village, Lingbao Pavilion and other eight scenic spots, 24 scenic spots people breathtaking, and Ming Dynasty buildings.

Xingping Town is a famous ancient city only 15.9km away from Yangshuo. According to most it only takes 1hr by bus to travel from Yangshou to Xingping town. Well it’s possible just not during Chinese main festival seasons. Being stuck in traffic and standing in long lines is definitely not something you’d love to experience when having only a few days for traveling. The view however is worth the wait. Upon arrival one can already see the beautiful views from the top deck while waiting for a fairy to arrive. One can fully embrace the view while taking a fairy ride down the river or a hike up the famous hiking trail. Make sure to take your 20¥ note with for that amazing background picture of the river.

The ancient town showed the magnificent structures and wondered how it looked like during night time. I felt like travelling into the past. However it’s now being transformed into a commercial district for tourists as the old house facade nests shops, restaurants, etc.

The Lijiang River is one of the most beautiful rivers in the world. Lijiang River has the reputation of "the river is green, the mountains are like jasper", the river is green, the water show, the cave, the stone beautiful. Bamboo rafting is a more intimate way to visit the mountains and waters of the Lijiang River than by boat. Take the bamboo rafting and smoothly exercise on the river. Feel the breeze surrounding it. You can touch the clear water flow. If you want to see the most beautiful scenery on both sides of the Lijiang River, you must go to Xingping to Yangdi. It's awesome.

Just returned from Xingping Ancient Town. Overall, I am satisfied with the feeling of Xingping Ancient Town. I came to Yangshuo, Guangxi for the first time and was really excited to see such a beautiful landscape. As the first tourist destination, Xingping Ancient Town is also recommended to walk. [Scenic] First of all, Xingping ancient town retains the original ancient town smell, in the Lijiang River and the mountain to see the ancient town, and taste the local famous Guilin rice noodles and beer fish, really have a unique flavor. [Cost-effective] Secondly, from Yangshuo Station to Xingping Ancient Town, the five-dollar bus is not very close, but in Yangshuo Station, really convenient. [Interest] Finally, after coming out of the Xingping ancient town, rent a electric car along the road next to the Lijiang River (about 20 yuan, you can bargain), or take a boat on the Lijiang River, you can punch a card of 20 yuan for the viewing place, and if you are lucky, you can take a photo with the grandfather on the RMB (Need to spend money),Going forward is nine horse painting mountain,Finally on the mountain watching sunset,Very interesting.But after passing through Xingping ancient town,Really also found a series of problems. [Scenic] First, the environment in the scenic spot is too much garbage. It seems that there is no professional cleaning staff to clean. You can see a lot of garbage at the foot of the mountain. [interest] Second, marketing problems, once in the scenic area is a variety of elderly people recommending meals and attraction tickets, recommending eating is good, it is a bit annoying to sell scenic tickets and boat tickets. These elderly people are very persevering, they will not stop selling a little things. Third, the Xingping ancient town bus station is small, is temporary, not special specification.
