Highlights
- Li River - Rather than bamboo raft on the Yulong River, you will take a motorized raft on the most essential part of Li River. it is a large raft of plastic piping in the shape of bamboo that easily seated 4 people. It is right to do the rafting in the morning, you would not see those big tour boats until an hour into your trip. The calm waters snake through giant karst formations rolling off into the distant mist. Around each bend a more enchanting sight came into view.
- Xingping Town - Stroll around this old fishing village where is hidden among the karst hills on a bend of the serene Li River that flows south from Guilin to Yangshuo. The famous view of the 20 YUAN Note was born here. Just ten minutes walk along the river from the town.
- Guilin Laozhai Mountain - Near the Xingping Ferry Dock, this is a hidden place to make you WOW after a 30-miunte fast walk up. The incredible views from the top is the reward. The panorama view of the rolling hills and Li River are simply breathtaking! Free entrance so the hill is not well maintained, be warned tough climb the almost 90 degrees ladder.
- Xingping Fishing Village - With exploring the opposite side of the river, you need to take a 5-minute ferry from waterfront across the river. Hike along a paved riverside path through small farms, vegetable gardens, orchards and hamlets, it is pretty and agricultural. Keep walking, you will enter one of the top 10 Li River Hiking Routes - Osmanthus Ancient Trail. A 800-meter trail with 108 osmanthus trees. Get another panaramic view of Li River from a different angle. Trust me, you won’t find this hidden gem by youself.
- Tengjiao Temple - On the way to the Osmanthus Ancient Trail, take the left fork to one of Guilin’s best-preserved temples, tucked under rocky overhang and sat on the river’s edge, Tengjiao Nunnery is a Ming Dynasty temple.
