The Xianggong Mountain Scenic Area is located within Xingping Town, Yangshuo County, Guilin, situated on the west bank of the Li River between the Yellow Cloth Shoal and Nine Horse Fresco Hill. The hike to the summit takes 20–30 minutes.The karst peaks on both banks reflect onto the river surface, forming the typical Guilin landscape: a picture scroll of 'orderly arranged peaks and a winding Li River.' On clear mornings after rain, a spectacular sea of clouds often appears. At sunrise, the sun's rays dye the river's surface a liquid gold, creating an ink-wash painting-like visual effect. Due to the rich variations in light and shadow, this location has become a hot spot for photography enthusiasts, and related works have won international photography awards.

The Yulong River, often called the “Little Li River,” offers a serene and intimate encounter with Guilin’s breathtaking landscapes. Flowing gently through the idyllic Yangshuo countryside, this crystal-clear river meanders past emerald rice paddies, centuries-old stone bridges, and tranquil farming villages framed by soaring karst peaks. Begin your journey aboard a traditional bamboo raft, where a local boatman poles you peacefully downstream, allowing you to fully absorb the calm rhythm of rural life and the poetic scenery surrounding you. After the rafting, enjoy a 2-hour cycling adventure through the Yulong River Valley. Ride along scenic country paths bordered by bamboo groves, fruit orchards, and mirror-like waterways. The route offers plenty of photo opportunities and quiet moments to connect with nature. This experience combines relaxation and light adventure — a perfect way to immerse yourself in the natural and cultural soul of Yangshuo.
