XingPing Old Town

Xingping Ancient Town is located on the banks of the Lijiang River in the north of Yangshuo. It is an ancient town with a history of more than 1,700 years. Today, there are still ancient streets, ancient bridges, ancient theaters, ancient temples and other scenery in the ancient town. There is a pier where bamboo rafts are drifting along the river in Guzhen, and you can take a boat to the “yellow cloth reflection” landscape. This is also the location where the pattern on the back of the 20 yuan RMB was shot.

Xingping Ancient Town is small in scale, and there are still many cultural relics and historic sites, mainly concentrated in Xingping Ancient Street and the fishing village about 2 kilometers away from the town, which relatively completely maintains the original historical environment. There are also some small shops selling special products in the ancient town. Walking in the ancient town, you can still appreciate the charm of “long old streets and deep ancient alleys”.
