Sceneries in Xingping, Li River
Xingping, located by the Li River, is the oldest town with a history of thousands of years in Yangshuo, dating back to the three Kingdom Period. It used to be Xiping County. It was the center of Yangshuo County until Yangshuo Town was setup in 590.
The scenery from Yangdi to Xingping is the most beautiful part of Li River. Sites like Ancient Xiping, Nine-horse Mural Cliff, Yellow-cloth Reflection, Monk and Nun's Tryst, Ancient Stockaded Village's New Looks, Secluded Qianyuan, Ancient Wusheng Site, Fishing Village, Lotus-flower Cave, Flying-dragon Nunnery and others can be found here.
The peaks here rise like so many needles, while the rivers are like ribbons. The Tablet Hill, Five-Finger Hill seem to be floating on the water. Xingping River meanders from east to west into the Li River. The reflection of the trees, bamboos and peaks present a watercolor painting.
