Xianggong Mountain

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

Yangshuo Day 2: Silver Cave - Yulong River - Shangri-La, the boat tour in Shangri-La lasts about 20 minutes, then you can walk around the old residence and leave. On the boat, except for passing through the cave which is quite interesting, there isn't much scenery, and the peach trees are all fake flowers😂 Yangshuo Day 3: Xianggong Mountain - Xingping Ancient Town - 20 Yuan RMB Background Picture, Xianggong Mountain is a four-story viewing platform that doesn't require 10 minutes to walk up, but the entrance fee is 60 yuan, which is really too expensive. After coming down, the car to Xingping Ancient Town, we found a private one for 30 yuan per person, and after getting off, it takes two or three minutes to ferry to the opposite bank, 5 yuan per person. The overall scenic spots and activities in Guilin are relatively expensive, parking fees are charged everywhere, the pedestrian paths in Yangshuo are mostly occupied or difficult to walk, and there are no free power charging ports at Yangshuo Station. The scenery is indeed beautiful, but the experience needs to match. Xianggong Mountain Yulong River Scenic Area Xingping Ancient Town

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.

This hill located 50 minute away from yangshuo town. we left around 5am in the morning from yangshuo Town to catch the beautiful sunrise at xianggong hill. Probably it is just simple hike took nearly 15 minutes to go up. This is one of the best location to watch sunrise. Those who visiting here, it’s really worth for your money and time. This is so magical moment of my life.

Day1 After dinner at seven o'clock, drive to Riyue Shuangta Park, and then take a walk around Liangjiang Sihu. Day2 Get up at seven in the morning, finish breakfast and arrive at the Elephant Trunk Hill parking lot at about eight o'clock. If you go early, the traffic jam is not serious. At eight o'clock, it is basically full, and we waited for about ten minutes to be directed to park. Walked around inside, climbed to the highest point to see the entire Guilin city, and then walked around and took photos near the elephant's nose and left from the second gate. The check-in point for the elephant's nose is near the second gate. Around ten o'clock, we set off to drive to the Lijiang River. Key point! During the National Day, it is strongly recommended to drive to Xianggong Mountain first, because there is basically no traffic jam to Xianggong Mountain, and there will be traffic controllers telling you that you can park along the road when you are close to Xianggong Mountain. It takes about 15-20 minutes to climb up Xianggong Mountain, and the same is true for going down the mountain. The viewing time is only about ten minutes. The whole process can be completed in one hour. But the scenery is really beautiful, you can overlook the entire Yangshuo Lijiang River essence section After coming down from Xianggong Mountain, drive to the navigation: Yangshuo Dream Home Inn, you can go to Dahebei Village Wharf, take a ferry to the opposite Xingping Wharf. The road is basically not congested, but the road is too narrow to avoid after entering the village, parking is a bit troublesome, but it doesn't matter, the villagers will let you spend money to find a way for you. There are a lot of people in Xingping Ancient Town during the National Day, and those with good physical strength, who do not take bamboo rafts, basically do not rent electric cars and sightseeing cars. We walked faster than sightseeing cars and electric cars. Other places are crowded with people and small cars, and Xingping Ancient Town is crowded with electric cars and sightseeing cars! Let alone small cars, they basically can't move and can't get in. The parking lot inside is all empty (so it is strongly recommended to go to Xianggong Mountain first! Day3 Stayed in Longsheng County for one night. We arrived at the ticket office at about eight o'clock in the morning. This temporary ticket during the National Day is quite good. During the National Day, I saw other people queuing for two hours for the cable car, so we didn't go to the Golden Buddha Peak in Jinkeng Dazhai, and drove directly to the Thousand-Layer Sky Ladder Viewing Platform. Navigate to Tiantou Village to park nearby (20 times). Walk around and take pictures for half an hour to see the scenery of the Thousand-Layer Sky Ladder Viewing Platform. It will be better if the weather is clear). Then we came down at about ten o'clock and walked towards Ping An Village. There is no traffic jam, but the mountain road is a bit winding. At this time, the oncoming lane is basically blocked. Directly navigate to Ping An Village, drive for about an hour, park the car in the parking lot, and then walk into the road of Ping An Village, which is a bit troublesome. It takes at least forty minutes to cross Ping An Village and climb to the Seven Stars with Moon or Nine Dragons and Five Tigers Viewing Platform, which is a bit tired. Taken at the Seven Stars with Moon Viewing Platform. There is commercialization in Ping An Village, but it is not so serious. Get up early and don't have to jam, we came down from the Thousand-Layer Sky Ladder at more than ten o'clock, and the oncoming lane was relatively blocked, and then the oncoming lane was basically lined up at three o'clock in the afternoon from Ping An Village. Before coming, I saw on the Internet that it is best to take a bus or charter a car. The road into the mountain is difficult to drive. In fact, it is not. Normal drivers who have driven over the mountain road can generally handle it, just the road is narrower. Summary: The strategy is in place, get up early, self-driving Guilin during the National Day is worth it.
