Which one is more fun in Laozhai Mountain and Xianggong Mountain in Yangshuo, Guilin?

Yangshuo is the best place in the world. There is nothing wrong with that. Every year it attracts countless tourists from home and abroad to visit and explore. The mountains and waters here are full of aura and delicious food, and the locals are warm and hospitable. This is the best destination for your travels. Here is a brief introduction to Laozhai Mountain and Xianggong Mountain in Yangshuo, Guilin.

Travel guide:

Take the train from Shenzhen North to Yangshuo, and then take the train to Xingping Ancient Town. The range of activities is only within 5 kilometers in a straight line around this town.

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

Xingping is a small town, and at the end of the town is Laozhai Mountain. My journey starts here.

There is a hotel at the foot of Laozhai Mountain, which has been run by the Japanese for about twenty years. In fact, the reputation of Laozhaishan lies in this old Japanese man.

It is said that he also opened a trail from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. About three years ago, when I first arrived at Laozhai Mountain, I met him on my way down the mountain in the morning. So-called anti-Japanese sentiment was running high at the time. I said hello to him but he didn't respond. I just wore a hat and lowered my head to pick up the garbage left by tourists on both sides of the road.

I heard that the first picture is the default picture on the homepage of the article, so I posted the one I was most satisfied with during this trip.

Sunrise at Xianggong Mountain. The most perfect angle of Xianggong Mountain is to shoot the entire Bay Area, but it is also a good choice to shoot corners by turning the gun head.

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. On a rainy day, the light is not ideal.

Looking at the first bay of the Li River from the top of Laozhai Mountain. In fact, this photo was taken during my second trip to Yangshuo in 2017. Because the weather was bad the first time, there were no good photos. Because Laozhai Mountain is not a mature scenic spot and is still in a primitive state. So, there are no guardrails. Please note that this photo was taken standing on a cliff, with the raging Li River and boats passing below. Remember to pay attention to safety when going out.

From Laozhai Mountain to Xianggong Mountain

From Laozhai Mountain to Xianggong Mountain, you can go up the Li River until you cross the river at Lengshui Ferry and go deep into the land.

It is summer and there are rapeseed flowers everywhere. In fact, only city dwellers regard rapeseed flowers as flowers and flock to them. In our hometown, we think it has a bad stuffy smell and we are afraid to avoid it.

All the way. There is a hill full of character. It has long been famous for its karst landforms spanning Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi.

This is a short section upstream of the Li River after crossing the river at Lengshui Ferry. During the rainy season, the river overflows the banks and aquatic plants are washed away. When I came, the weather was great!

This is Huashan Village, the first stop after crossing the river at Lengshui Ferry, right next to Jiuma Huashan.

Huashan Village is a shallow beach, and the leaves of the trees in the middle turn yellow under the sunlight.

Going to Xianggong Mountain

In summer, as long as the weather is good, fog is common in Xianggong Mountain in the morning.

Before sunrise, when the fog is thick. From Xianggong Mountain, the Lijiang River is also a bay, and the view is wider. However, to fully see the bay, you need to go to the nearby wild mountains. Please note that professional escort is required!

Laozhai Mountain is the best place to watch the sunset, and Xianggong Mountain is the best place to watch the sunrise.

It takes about 3 or 4 hours to walk between the two mountains. If you shoot and walk at the same time, it will take longer. Besides, the part to go to Xianggong Mountain after passing Lengshui is mainly a long uphill road. Everyone can do what he can do.
