The mountains and rivers here are full of aura and elegance, and the local people are enthusiastic and hospitable. , is the best destination for your travels. Let me share with you the guide to Laozhai Mountain and Xianggong Mountain in Yangshuo, Guilin.

Travel guide:

Take the train from Shenzhen North to Yangshuo, and then take a bus to Xingping Ancient Town. The scope of activities is limited to a straight-line distance of 5 kilometers around the town.

For tourists visiting Guilin for the first time, rafting down from Guilin city to Yangshuo County, or upstream to the Yulong River in Yangshuo County, may be a better choice.

Xingping is a small town. At the end of the town is Laozhai Mountain, where my trip starts.

There is a hotel at the foot of Laozhai Mountain. It was opened by the Japanese and has been around for more than 20 years. In fact, Laozhai Mountain is famous because of this Japanese old man.

The trail from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain is said to have been opened by him. About three years ago, when I first went to Laozhai Mountain, I met him when I came down the mountain in the morning. At that time, the so-called anti-Japanese sentiment was high. I said hello to him, but he did not respond. Just wear a hat and lower your head to pick up the garbage left by tourists on both sides of the road.

I heard that the first picture is the default homepage picture of the article, so I will post the one I am most satisfied with from this trip.

Shanglaozhaishan

Laozhaishan is at the end of Xingping Ancient Town, above the pier.

There is a pavilion on the hillside of Laozhai, where you can see a corner of the first bay of the Li River. It was rainy that day and the light was not ideal.

View the first bay of the Li River from the top of Laozhai Mountain. This photo was actually taken during my second trip to Yangshuo in 2017. Because the weather was not good the first time, there were no good photos. Because Laozhai Mountain is not a mature scenic spot and is still in its original state. Therefore, there are no guardrails. Please note that this was taken standing on a cliff, with the turbulent Li River and the cruise ships coming and going below. When you go out, remember to pay attention to safety.

From Laozhai Mountain to Xianggong Mountain

From Laozhai Mountain to Xianggong Mountain, you can walk upstream along the Li River until you cross the river at Lengshui Ferry and go deeper into the land. .

It is summer, and the mountains are covered with rapeseed flowers. In fact, only people in the city regard rapeseed flowers as flowers and flock to them. In our hometown, we think it has an unpleasant stench and are afraid to avoid it.

Along the way. There is a hill full of personality. The karst landforms across Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi have long been famous.

This is a short section walking upstream along the Lijiang River after crossing the river from Lengshui Ferry. During the rainy season, the river overflows the banks and washes away the aquatic plants. The weather was good when we came here!

This is Huashan Village, the first stop after crossing the river at Lengshui Ferry, next to the "Nine Horses Painting Mountain".

Go to Xianggong Mountain

In summer, as long as the weather is clear, it is common for Xianggong Mountain to fog in the morning.

Before sunrise, when the fog is thick. From Xianggong Mountain, the Lijiang River is also a bay, and the perspective is wider. However, to see the bay completely, you need to go to the wild mountains next to it. Please note that professionals are required to accompany you!

The mist covers Xianggong Mountain. Before the fog cleared, I switched to the telephoto lens. Took this picture.

The sunset is best viewed from Laozhai Mountain, and the sunrise is best viewed from Xianggong Mountain.

The walk between the two mountains takes about 3 or 4 hours. If you walk along the way and take pictures, it will take longer. Moreover, the part of walking towards Xianggong Mountain after passing Lengshui Ferry is mainly a long uphill road. Act within your ability.
