Ancient Xingping - China
What a fantastic adventure as we spent our day in Xingping, with each turn in the road of this ancient fishing village bringing with it new treasures and beautiful people.
When we first arrived, we were quite taken back by the level of road works and destroyed buildings in the town, however we were unaware of the flood that had passed through in 2017. This gorgeous town has come out on top and we were so pleased to be there, eating and buying gifts.

China - Guilin, Yangshuo, Xing Ping (2006/2010/2011) by Joel Santos
Small collection of photos and videos captured the Guangxi Province, China
I've been photographing this area since 2006 and witnessing the fast decay of the cormorant fisherman. All of the man portraid are the last in activity. The youngest fisherman are attracted by new and more profitable jobs, opening the way for the disappearing of a traditional craft and culture.

'Yangdi - Xing Ping' Hiking, Yangshuo, China
LAOZHAI MOUNTAIN HIKE: Is Xingping Better Than Yangshuo? | China Travel Guide
We travelled from Yangshuo to XINGPING in this week's backpacking China episode. Our goal, to complete the Laozhai Mountain hike (aka Laozhai Shan or Laozhai Hill) and get to the best view in China.
Xingping is an ancient fishing village that became world famous when Bill Clinton visited in 1999. Xingping is usually a popular day trip from Yangshuo or Guilin, but I wanted to know if it's actually a better place to visit?
Xingping's mountains and Li River views feature on the 20 Yuan Bank Note and you can visit the exact spot from the image just outside the ancient village.
We visited in rainy season, so the mountain hike was not easy - and actually pretty dangerous.

Xingping & Yangshuo | China Episode | Most Beautiful Places of China
When you think about China, Beijing and Shanghai probably come to your mind first. But the majestic country has so much more to offer than crowded cities. I recommend that you plan a few extra days on your trip so that you can make it all the way to Xingping and Yangshou. The real highlight in the area around Xingping is the Karst Mountains – a picturesque landscape on the Li River. So picturesque that it is even printed on the 20 yuan bank note. And best of all, you can visit the exact place that inspired the painter. Another must visit place is a hike on the Laozhai mountain. From here you can see the whole hilly landscape and ask yourself if this is real or if you are in a wonderful dream.
Yangshou is surrounded in tall, rocky karst limestone mountains, the entire region is literally covered in them. Yangshuo is full of amazing outdoor activities and sights. The best thing to do is rent a bicycle, set off into the countryside and explore the area yourself. The cost of renting a bicycle is 20 RMB and you can find them all over the city, or at your hostel. Since I was alone, for me, I found it a bit difficult to figure out which way to go at times, however, it didn’t really matter which way I ended up, because the sights were beautiful everywhere.

Here's a detailed breakdown of information as mentioned in the film (a table of contents, if you will):
0:30 - Views from the Train Ride from Hong Kong to Yangshuo
1:14 - Arriving in Yangshuo: What is the town like?
A bit of background on the town and how it might not be the nature serenity you are looking for.
1:35 - How to get to the Yangshuo TV Tower Viewpoint (hard climb)
The best views in Yangshuo are accessible from the town centre, but it's a pretty long climb up to the top of a mountain. We followed the instructions on how to get there by ILP Blog, a really good article. Remember to bring 10 Yuan per person:
3:23 - This is what the TV Tower view looks like
4:03 - The Views from Yangshuo Park (easy climb)
A much less physically demanding climb to some nice views over the town. It's a really nice public park too, definitely worth checking out.
4:28 - Our Accommodation, Sudder Street Guesthouse
Great place to stay, just outside the town centre. An amazing pool, with great views. Dorms are £3 a night and private rooms (en-suite) with a balcony are £18.
4:55 - Yangshuo National Park
This is where you'll spend most of your time and where you will find the famous bamboo rafts that you've seen on Instagram. We rented bicycles to get around, but some people rent mopeds/motorbikes instead. You're going to want the freedom of your own transport.
6:00 - Here's the bamboo rafts
6:26 - Moon Hill, my favourite sunset spot (and favourite part of Yangshuo in general). A natural archway that has featured in one of the Transformers films I think.
And thats it. Any questions, let me know in the comments!
