Guilin Xianggong Mountain

The name Xianggong Mountain sounds like 60 episodes of love, hate and vengeance from gods. It is unknown why it is called this name, but it is recognized as the best spot to overlook the Li River. If you encounter clouds and sunrise, it is a beautiful scene that you will never forget.

This is also a resident place for photographers of all kinds. Although the camera positions are limited and the overlooking angles are similar, it is still the obsession of most people to take a bird's-eye view of the Li River. The difference between Xianggong Mountain and other mountains for climbing and looking far is that other viewing platforms may only have one or two floors, while the viewing platform of Xianggong Mountain has five floors... It can accommodate many people to enjoy the beautiful scenery at the same time, and there is no need to worry about being crowded during the peak season. It happened that it was not the peak season when we went there, so we occupied a few camera positions with few people and took a historic photo with the big bay of the Li River.

Unfortunately, my wide angle is only 24, which can barely cover the bend of the Li River, and the mountains and rivers in the distance cannot be included. Although it was still cloudy that day, the view of the mountains from the top was intoxicating enough.

View: 5 stars

Recommendation: 4 stars

From the mountain, you can overlook the panoramic view of this section of the Li River rafting. At that time, the rain was quite heavy, and the entire Li River was shrouded in mist and rain. It was quite artistic to travel through the clouds.

The path to Xianggong Mountain is all stone steps, which is easy to walk and takes about ten minutes to reach. This place attracts countless photography enthusiasts, and some people's photos taken here have won bronze medals at international film festivals. However, photography always records the beauty of the moment, and the most beautiful scenery cannot be presented in photos. Only by choosing a sunny afternoon, making a cup of hot tea here, quietly experiencing it, and watching the sun gradually set, can you deeply feel the beauty here.

From Yangshuo County, you can go to Xianggong Mountain along a rural road. When you are close to Xianggong Mountain, there is a nice view where you can stop and take pictures. The ticket for Xianggong Mountain is 60 yuan per person, which can be reduced to 30 yuan if you eat at a local farmhouse. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the entrance to the viewing platform halfway up the mountain. The viewing platform has three floors and you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the Li River and the surrounding area.

If you want to see beautiful scenery, you also need good weather, or the scenery you see every day is different. If you are a photography enthusiast, it is also recommended to go and see it.

The sunrise at Xianggong Mountain is really great. You can overlook the scenery below the mountain. There is a big turn, but it is not convenient. The ticket is also fifty yuan. If you want to go, it is recommended to book a car on Taobao. It is more convenient. You can find a lot of cars by searching. You can compare prices. I went there early in the morning before dawn. A bunch of old masters with long guns and short guns set up their cameras and prepared to operate! It was drizzling at night, but the haze was cleared in the morning and gave us a stunning sunrise. Thank God for his favor. I still recommend it❤

Xianggong Mountain: Xianggong Mountain is a huge surprise on this trip! Located between Huangbu Beach and Jiuma Painting Mountain, this is the best place to take the most beautiful panoramic photos with the most complete angles! The sun started to rise when we climbed the mountain. The road to the mountain was not easy to walk, but it was worth it to climb up and see the scenery. It is said that the sunrise and sunset are the most beautiful, and it is the "favorite" of many photography enthusiasts and hikers. I met a Korean Oppa who rode all the way from Xingping Ancient Town and climbed up just to see this world-class Guilin. I admire him!

Xianggong Mountain offers a panoramic view of the Lijiang Bay, so we came! We came from Xingping. Xingping rented a tram to Lengshui Ferry, passing through the 20-yuan pattern scenic spot, and we could also check in. At the ferry stop, a villager came up to ask if we wanted to go to Xianggong Mountain. The round trip ticket including crossing the river and going to the entrance of Xianggong Mountain was 100 yuan. The ticket to Xianggong Mountain was 60. It takes about 10 minutes to climb from the ticket to the viewing platform on the top of the mountain. The stairs are very steep. The scenery on Xianggong Mountain is really worth the trip. Whoever comes here knows.

Xianggong Mountain is located on the west bank of the Li River in Xingping Town, Yangshuo, between Huangbu Beach and Jiuma Painting Mountain, about 28 kilometers from Yangshuo and 57 kilometers from Guilin.

Climb up Xianggong Mountain and look far into the distance. The peaks are arranged in an orderly manner, and the clear Li River meanders among the mountains. The light and shadow, sea of clouds, sunrise and colorful clouds here have attracted countless photographers and photography enthusiasts.

I like this scenic spot very much. It is perfect for watching the sunrise. Recommended

When climbing Xianggong Mountain, you usually have to climb to the top before dawn to take pictures of the sunrise, sea of clouds, and colorful clouds.

It's very beautiful, but watching the sunrise is really a matter of luck.

The scenery of Xianggong Mountain is really beautiful. It is also a check-in spot for photographers and hikers. You can see the scenery of the Li River.

It takes about 20 minutes to climb the mountain, but the scenery at the top is worth the trip.

The sunset in Wulong Township on the way back is also worth seeing

The scenery is beautiful! But this shouldn’t be a regular scenic spot at all, and they dare to charge 60 per person! There is no signboard with the name of the scenic spot. I asked the ticket seller why there was no price list. He took out a half-rotten sign with a ticket price of 60, and then said with confidence that the ticket price for foreigners is 35 US dollars. I said that you don’t dare to put it up to cheat foreigners. He replied, "Oh, yes..." I was speechless. Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people, and they are proud of it... The persecution atmosphere is no wonder that Guilin has such beautiful scenery, but it has not become rich because of it. The vendor at the entrance of the scenic spot asked for 45, and it was reduced to 40 at most. After paying her, she went directly to the ticket office to get two tickets for us... This is a fake scenic spot that is completely unmanaged and unmanaged... Fortunately, the scenery is very good, so I am willing to accept it.

This is a proper scenic spot. There are toilets at the parking lot ticket office at the entrance, but no toilets on the mountain. The first time I saw Xianggong Mountain was in Lao Luo's New Journey to the West. I only remember that the scenery was beautiful and it seemed to be a less famous hill. This time I went there just in time for the Qingming Festival, so there weren't many people. The mountain is not high, and it takes about 15 minutes to climb. I was still panting when I climbed up the mountain. There are several viewing platforms on the top of the mountain, which disperse people and make it convenient to take pictures from top to bottom. The scenery here is closely related to the weather. If it is cloudy or foggy, it will be affected, so try to go there at noon, and the scenery will be very beautiful when the sun comes out.

Very nice, the scenery is beautiful, there are a lot of people, and there is a fee

The scenery is super beautiful, watching the sunrise and sunset is super beautiful.

Very beautiful, worth a look, it is recommended to develop more features

The view of the Li River from Xianggong Mountain is beautiful, the sunrise is even more beautiful, and the sea of clouds is even more dreamy. However, not everyone is lucky enough to see the sunrise, sea of clouds, and colorful clouds.

You can refer to my travel notes, which have detailed guides and introduce the weather conditions for watching the sunrise. I hope it will be helpful to you.

In the afternoon, we visited Xianggong Mountain, which is a good place to watch the sunrise. It was cloudy during the few days I was in Guilin, so I just enjoyed the scenery and did not expect to watch the sunrise. However, there is a long winding mountain road on the way there, so friends who drive by themselves should be careful.

This attraction is very small. To put it bluntly, it is just an observation deck. The ticket price is 60 yuan per person. We chartered a car from Yangshuo West Street and it took about an hour to get there. It only took more than ten minutes to climb the mountain. It is a good place to take pictures. The scenery is really beautiful. There are many Korean tourists here. If you travel with a group, you will definitely miss this place because it is too small and can only accommodate dozens of people at most.

On the west bank of the Li River, between the Huangbu Beach and the Nine Horses Painting Hill

The climb was actually quite fast, but the temperature was still quite cold, really cold. And it was a pity that there was no sunrise over the sea of clouds. Xianggong Mountain is still worth a visit, and the sunrise over Xianggong Mountain is a good base for photography.

However, it was raining and snowing the day we went to Xianggong Mountain, which was terrible.

It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. It is all stone steps, so it is not difficult to walk. However, it is a bit tiring because of the sleet. There are three viewing platforms, and many people have gathered on each viewing platform. Many photography enthusiasts have already positioned themselves to take pictures. However, the weather was not good and there was a bit of fog.

It is a local niche and unpopular tourist attraction. Watching the sunrise and colorful clouds here is the most famous, but if you want to see the sunrise, you must set out from Yangshuo at 3 or 4 in the morning, which is not suitable for us with children, so we chose to come in the evening, hoping to see the sunset which is also very good.

The ticket to Xianggong Mountain is 30/person. The mountaineering road is easy to walk and it takes about half an hour to reach the top of the mountain. The difficulty of climbing is almost zero, which is very suitable for children to challenge. Once you reach the top of the mountain, the invincible beauty of the Li River comes into view. Although it is not sunrise or sunset, and there are no colorful clouds or sea of clouds, this scenery is enough to make us admire for a long time~ The cruise ships and bamboo rafts on the Li River look like toy boats here, small, lined up in rows and slowly moving on the Li River.

But I really have to complain about the fake grass carpet and fake wooden fence on the top of the mountain. The beautiful scenery looks like a studio curtain when photographed... Even so, everyone couldn't help taking countless group photos~

The scenery on the mountain is very beautiful. There are many beautiful mountains, each one is short. I took a lot of photos.

The sunrise here attracts a large number of photography enthusiasts every day. Of course, the Buddhist youth can't get out of bed. When we arrived, it was already past ten o'clock, and the tour group had basically returned. Fewer people is definitely the key to enjoying the beautiful scenery! The ticket to the scenic spot seems to be 60, but in fact it is just climbing the mountain for ten minutes to reach the viewing platform and then returning the same way. If the weather is good, it is good to be able to take pictures of the beautiful scenery, otherwise the cost performance is really not high.

It was raining when we went there, but our GO Ludu was very considerate and reminded us to dress warmly before departure! He also treated us to delicious Guilin rice noodles! The itinerary was very relaxing without any shopping spots, and we even had tea in Xingping Ancient Town! Five-star rating

Xianggong Mountain is located in Xingping County. It is an excellent vantage point for appreciating the beautiful scenery of the Li River. It is the most anticipated place on this trip to Guangxi.

The beautiful Li River makes a big turn here, circling and dancing around the graceful peaks. This is the famous "First Bay of Li River".

The sun had already set when we arrived at Xianggong Mountain. We climbed up to the observation deck and looked out into the distance. The mountains were staggered and the scenery was magnificent, which made us feel relaxed.

The clouds and mist on Xianggong Mountain in the early morning are ever-changing and unpredictable!

The overlapping mountains in the morning light are like light colors or ink splashing down.

It flows gracefully in the silence, with a beauty that is breathtaking.

Due to the foggy weather, the sun only shone for a short while, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see the peaks and forests under the clear blue sky.

But being able to see the ever-changing scenery of the Lijiang River with a sea of clouds was satisfying enough.

The sunrise at Xianggong Mountain is something you must see once in your life. When the little red ball jumped over the top of the mountain, the crowd naturally cheered, which moved me deeply because I felt that the cheers were so pure. It almost came from human nature: to live towards the sun. Thank you strangers, we met this morning, and we felt the vitality of this beautiful world together~

Mirror Water Tower is quite innovative. A pool is specially built on the roof for photography enthusiasts to take reflection photos. Xianggong Mountain was originally only famous among photography enthusiasts, but its reputation gradually spread. However, the mountain road in Yangshuo is worrying and there is a lot of information blockage. Many people think that they have to charter a car from Yangshuo to come here, but they don’t know that after taking the ferry at Lengshui Ferry on the Li River on foot, they can reach the mountain very close. Students who want to come should remember this.

Very beautiful, you can see the panoramic view in 20 minutes, it's worth it

If you arrive at Xianggong Mountain at about 6 o'clock, you will be in time to watch the sunrise and the sea of clouds. You will see the sky from dark to dawn, then it will get redder and redder, and then the sun will suddenly show its edge. That moment is so beautiful. Everyone exclaimed together, and the sun appeared. Everything is worth it. Although it doesn't take long to climb Xianggong Mountain, about 10 to 20 minutes, it is very tiring. The steps are very high and you will be very out of breath if you are anxious. So go early if you can and go up slowly. It takes about 50 minutes to drive from West Street.

We got up at 3:50 in the morning and arrived at the foot of Xianggong Mountain at about 5:40. Xianggong Mountain is not high, and it took us only about ten minutes to climb to the top of the mountain. At this time, the highest observation deck was full, and there were few people on the second, third and fourth observation decks. We quickly stood in position and waited for the sunrise. Fortunately, we saw the sunrise, but it was foggy.

Yangshuo is a great place to watch the sunrise. It is about 28 kilometers away from Yangshuo. If you are lucky, you can see the sea of clouds and colorful clouds. It is a must-visit place for photography enthusiasts.

Highlights: You can get a bird's eye view of the entire Guilin landscape. On the left is the Nine Horse Painting Mountain, the best place to take photos of the sunrise. If you are lucky, you can see the sea of clouds and colorful clouds.

Note:

1. It takes about 20 minutes to climb from the bottom of the mountain to the top observation deck;

2. To take photos of the sunrise, you need to go earlier because the camera space is limited;

3. There are 4 viewing platforms, please pay attention to safety at the top of the mountain;

4. It is much easier to climb than Laozhaishan.

Xianggong Mountain is located by the Li River in Yangshuo (opposite the Nine Horses Painting Mountain). It is one of the best places to watch the sunrise in Yangshuo. Climbing up the viewing platform of Xianggong Mountain, you can see the big bend of the Li River and the mountains in the distance. This is one of the must-see places for photography enthusiasts when they come to Yangshuo. The only drawback is that the transportation to Xianggong Mountain is not very convenient. You need to charter a car to go there. If you go to Xianggong Mountain from Yangshuo County to watch the sunrise, you need to get up very early.

Xianggong Mountain is not high, but the stairs are a bit steep. It takes more than 10 minutes to reach the top. There are several viewing platforms on the top of the mountain. When I got there, the good positions were already occupied by many photography enthusiasts carrying professional equipment. Later, I learned from chatting that many photography enthusiasts stayed in the hotel at the foot of Xianggong Mountain just to take pictures of the sunrise. Some stayed for several days to take ideal sunrise photos. In contrast, I was really just a bystander. I carried the tripod I just bought and found a position among a group of people with long guns and short guns to pretend to take pictures.

We climbed to the top of the mountain at around 5 o'clock in the morning. It was still dark between the sky and the earth, and the dark and light peaks in the distance were looming.

Later, the clouds gradually turned pink, and at that time I still held the beautiful expectation that the sun would come out.

Then the sun slowly struggled out from behind the clouds, smudged a patch of morning glow, from dark to red, and then from red to bright. In the end, it couldn't resist the thick clouds, and no light came through. At around 7 o'clock in the morning, the sky was clear, but I couldn't see the sunrise, so I had to go down the mountain quietly to have breakfast.

When I first arrived in Yangshuo, I heard many people recommend Xianggong Mountain because of its excellent viewing platform. When we arrived at Xianggong Mountain, the first impression we had was that the environment here was indeed quite quiet, and there were few people in the scenic area, which was almost an unpopular attraction. For tourists who don't like crowds, this is undoubtedly a good choice. And if you live in Xingping, you can make an appointment with the driver to take you to the scenic area in the early morning, because shooting the sunrise at Xianggong Mountain can fully show the magnificence of Guilin's landscape!

The gate of Xianggong Mountain Scenic Area is a bit simple, but this just fits its characteristics. It takes about 10-20 minutes to climb from the gate to the top of the mountain at a normal speed, and it may take half an hour at a slower speed. The mountain is not high, and the road is relatively not steep. It is a place suitable for all ages. But Xianggong Mountain has a characteristic. During the climbing stage, the scenery is actually very plain. Even halfway through, I once doubted whether this attraction is as good as my friends said. Because on the road, the grass and trees on both sides are relatively abundant, and many times they cover the scenery in front of you. And even in some open places, the scenery is mediocre as far as the field of vision can reach! But don't give up because of these, because it is no exaggeration to say that the scenery of Xianggong Mountain at the top can instantly amaze you!

Climb to the top of Xianggong Mountain, where there are several viewing platforms at different heights. Each layer is about 2-3 meters apart. You can take photos from different angles. We came to the highest viewing platform, and the scenery here can really be said to be the essence of Guilin's landscape. The mountains in the distance have a strong sense of layering, the peaks nearby are majestic, and the rivers are interspersed like a mirror. Suddenly a fleet passed by, rippling and breaking the tranquility!

The ancients had great passion for mountains, rivers, and mountains, and wrote magnificent poems. In modern times, we are still excited about such magnificent scenery! Many people will shout on the top of Xianggong Mountain, and it seems that there are echoes from afar. As far as the eye can see, there are endless peaks. They are like warriors, arranged in an orderly manner on the banks of the Li River. The direction facing the viewing platform is just east, so shooting the sunrise on Xianggong Mountain is a must for many photography enthusiasts. When the morning light covers the mountains and sprinkles on the river, the passion of heaven and earth cannot be described in words, and you can only immerse yourself in this beautiful scene. Looking for the most beautiful Guilin landscape, a visit to Xianggong Mountain will be rewarding!

We got up at 4 o'clock in the morning, packed up, and were ready to go. I felt sleepy. After arriving at the scenic spot, we had to climb the mountain for about ten minutes to reach the highest viewing platform. After a long wait, the sky was slightly brighter. In fact, not long after arriving at the viewing platform, I realized that the weather on that day would not allow us to see the sunrise. So if you want to see the golden sunrise, you still have to rely on a lot of luck if you only come once. But the haziness also has its own beauty. I can only comfort myself in this way.

It only takes 15 minutes to walk from the bottom of the mountain to the top.

The scenery of Xianggong Mountain is indeed beautiful, but we only stayed there for half an hour and then came down. We are not photography enthusiasts, we just want to prove that we have been there.

Xianggong Mountain is not difficult to climb, and there are many inns near the scenic area. Generally, photography enthusiasts who want to take pictures of the sunrise will stay at the foot of the mountain the night before, so it is more convenient to climb the mountain early the next morning.

Although we missed the sunrise, we still saw stunning scenery after climbing up for about half an hour at 10 noon.

It only takes 15 minutes to walk from the bottom of the mountain to the top.

The scenery of Xianggong Mountain is indeed beautiful, but we only stayed there for half an hour before coming down. We are not photography enthusiasts, we just want to prove that we have been there.

Xianggong Mountain is a less popular scenic spot in Xingping Town that you must not miss. The moment you reach the top, you will feel a sense of sudden enlightenment, with a panoramic view of the continuous mountains, the winding Li River, and the vast blue sky. There are very few tourists here, and most of the people traveling between the two places are local residents.

The moment I climbed to the top of the mountain, the view in front of me suddenly opened up, and I was instantly stunned by the scene in front of me. The continuous mountains, the winding Li River, and the vast blue sky were all in sight. It was really "I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the mountains". I remembered what Wang Anshi said in "Travels to Baochan Mountain": "The world's magnificent, strange, and extraordinary sights are often in dangerous and remote places, where few people go." Although the climbing process is boring, the moment you climb the mountain and see the scenery at your feet, you will feel that this journey is worth it! It feels like you are touching the clouds.

Xianggong Mountain is not high. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the top. There are stone steps along the way. The view of Xianggong Mountain is broad, the sunrise is unparalleled, and the peaks are beautiful and magnificent.

Climb up Xianggong Mountain and look far into the distance. The mountains are arranged in an orderly manner and the Li River flows. It is very beautiful. The clear Li River surrounds the mountains. The light and shadow, sea of clouds, sunrise and colorful clouds here have attracted countless photographers. When the sun rises slowly, the wonderful scenery is in full view, which is more beautiful than the painting; looking from a distance, the mountains are dependent on each other, surrounded by water, swallowing clouds and mist, and the sun is embedded in between. It is completely a fairyland-like Chinese ink painting! It is really beautiful like a fairyland.

Online ticket purchase is no longer available for Xianggong Mountain. Local villagers will ask you if you want to buy tickets at the entrance. The ticket price is 60 yuan, but you can get it for 40 yuan. You can go directly to the ticket office of the scenic spot on the way up the mountain. This is a great location to overlook the "First Bay of Lijiang River". Xianggong Mountain is not very high, and you can reach the top of the mountain in about 20 minutes, but the way up and down the mountain is relatively steep, so you must pay attention to safety during the tour. After going up, you can also go down to the foot of the mountain to enjoy the scenery of Jiuma Painting Mountain, or you can go to Xingping Ancient Town for fun.

Climbing up Xianggong Mountain, overlooking the Li River, it is like a white chain, winding and twisting, flowing around the peaks. Occasionally, there are boats passing through the river, which is spectacular as thousands of sails are competing. New houses in the mountain village at the foot of the mountain are built one after another, staggered and orderly, with white walls and green tiles complementing the green mountains and green waters. From time to time, blue smoke rises up, blending with the thin clouds and mist in the valley, and it is difficult to distinguish one from the other. Looking around, the peaks stand tall, like bamboo shoots after rain. The conversion of farmland to forest, looking far and near, is lush and green.

We drove there from Guilin, and when we arrived we found that we couldn't buy tickets online. It might be restricted by the locals. We could only buy tickets at the entrance of the scenic spot or get tickets from ticket scalpers. After bargaining, we got the ticket for 40 yuan instead of 60 yuan.

Xianggong Mountain is not high. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the top on foot. There are stone steps along the way. Xianggong Mountain has a wide view, and the sunrise is unparalleled. The peaks are beautiful and magnificent, and the mountains are stacked. Climbing Xianggong Mountain, looking far away, the peaks are arranged in an orderly manner, and the Li River flows, which is very beautiful. The clear Li River surrounds the mountains. The light and shadow, sea of clouds, sunrise, and colorful clouds here have attracted countless photographers. It depends on luck to come here to see the sunrise and sea of clouds. The weather forecast is not particularly accurate, and it is in the rainy summer. When the sun rises slowly, the wonderful scenery is in full view, which is more beautiful than the painting; looking from a distance, the mountains are dependent on each other, surrounded by water, swallowing clouds and mist, and the sun is embedded in it. It is completely a fairyland-like Chinese ink painting! It is really beautiful like a fairyland.

The place is a bit remote and you need to charter a car to get there. Other things are ok.

This mountain is not a popular tourist attraction. It is located in a remote place. It costs 200 yuan to charter a car from West Street to get there. You can't even find its location on the first page of Yangshuo attractions on major domestic travel platforms. But it is more well-known abroad than in China. Since the sunrise shot by a Guilin photographer here won an award at an international film festival, this place has become a gathering place for photography enthusiasts.

The entrance to the scenic area is not far from the top of the mountain. You can reach the top in about ten minutes without worrying about physical strength.

The shadows of the mountains and forests loomed in the darkness, and the only sound was the wind blowing through the forest. When we reached the top of the mountain, the sky in the east was already turning pale. The viewing platform was very small, and there were no more seats for cameras. We looked at the horizon from afar. The clouds were indeed very thick, and the morning mist was everywhere. A few stars hung in the sky like swaying lights.

The east gradually turned white, and the watch finally slid to the sunrise time. As expected, the clouds blocked the rising sun. The light at this time was white, without the dazzling gold, but it still illuminated the mountains and rivers in front of us. The earth was hazy with a layer of white mist, which had an illusory beauty.

It takes about 10 minutes to climb from the bottom of the mountain to the viewing platform on the top of the mountain. The steps are a bit steep. I looked at the beautiful sky and quickly climbed up the steps. When I arrived at the top of the mountain, the clear sky and the sun shone through the gaps in the clouds from time to time, sprinkled on the mountains and the village. I was greedy for this beautiful scenery and kept taking pictures. I really wanted to take in all the beautiful scenery. There are 4 floors on the top of the mountain. Most tourists gather on the top floor, where there are more people taking pictures. In fact, the scenery taken on the lower floors of the viewing platform is similar, but there are few tourists, which is a good choice.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, you really have the feeling that all the mountains are small. In the distance, there are towering peaks, surrounded by mountains and water, lush and green.

Ancient and elegant pavilions and village houses are hidden among them, the chickens and dogs can be heard in the fertile fields, and the green mountains, green valleys, blue sky and white clouds make it a leisurely pastoral painting.

Suddenly I found a rainbow in the sky, which slowly extended and turned into a stunning double rainbow! I was so lucky that I actually took a photo of the double rainbow on Xianggong Mountain. I was so excited that I couldn't stop taking photos.

The ticket to Xianggong Mountain is 60 yuan. In fact, the mountain is not too high, with a vertical distance of only a few dozen meters. It only takes 15 minutes to climb the mountain. Even for a 4-year-old child, it is not very strenuous to climb.

Walking on the mountainside, looking up at the surrounding scenery, I felt that Xianggong Mountain was just so-so. The mountains, forests and fields were not much different from ordinary mountain scenery. Along the way, I was still worried about the 60 yuan ticket. Only two words echoed in my heart: not worth it.

When I reached the top of the mountain, my eyes suddenly lit up, which was a huge contrast to my previous impression. I had never seen such a beautiful water bend. The clear water was like a bay of silk winding between the mountains, and the endless stream of bamboo rafts was like the continuous flow of cars on land. If you say this is a fairyland, I will believe it without a doubt. It's just that the people in the water bend and the mountains add a bit of worldly fireworks to this fairyland.

Although there is only one angle, Xianggong Mountain can capture both sunrise and sunset at the same time. In the morning, the sunrise is photographed from Xianggong Mountain with backlight, while in the evening, the sunset is photographed with front light. There are all kinds of scenery between front and back light.

Some people have seen Xianggong Mountain with a sky full of clouds, some have seen Xianggong Mountain under the bright moon, some have seen Xianggong Mountain shrouded in mist, and some have seen Xianggong Mountain with lingering rain. All year round, Xianggong Mountain is covered with morning dew and evening frost. The scenery changes with the passing of time as the seasons change. The time-honored scenery has added an indelible aura.

I stood on the observation deck, watching the rolling water of the Li River flowing from the Qin Dynasty to the present world. How many people have stood in the same position as me and seen this beautiful river and mountains. How many past years have been lost in the dust of history. No one can escape the fate of time. Only now, seeing this poetic, picturesque, dreamy and dreamy scenery, I have satisfied my wish.

It is a classic place to take photos of the sunrise in Guilin. The ticket is 60 yuan, and you can get a 50% discount if you stay at the inn at the door. There is nothing good to see for taking photos of the sunset, but the sunrise is a pleasant surprise.

The super low mountain is super easy to climb, not physically demanding, but the scenery is super beautiful, recommended

Xianggong Mountain is a privately developed scenic spot. The mountain is not high, and it takes only half an hour to climb up and down the mountain. The most important thing is that you can see the scenery of the Li River from the top of the mountain, which is completely different from riding a bamboo raft in the Li River. Because the scenery is beautiful when standing on the top of the mountain, but there are not too many people coming, it is really an excellent viewing point.

Once you climb Xianggong Mountain, you don't need to look at Guilin's landscape anymore! You can see it for a thousand years at a glance! If you only have half a day to see the essence of Guilin's landscape, you can only go to Xianggong Mountain! Personally, I think it is more beautiful than Laozhai Mountain!

The mountain road winds along the way and you will reach the halfway point of Xianggong Mountain. It is surrounded by green mountains and swaying green bamboos. It takes about 15 minutes to climb from the bottom of the mountain to the top viewing platform. Then continue climbing for another ten minutes to reach the top.

Looking far away, you can see towering peaks, surrounded by mountains and water, lush and verdant. There are peaks reflecting the mountains and floating on the water, and the wide view without water and mountains is fascinating;

Looking at the beautiful mountains and rivers on both sides of the Li River, it is like the natural scenery of the Peach Blossom Spring. Ancient and elegant pavilions and villages are hidden among them. The chickens and dogs can be heard in the fertile fields. The green mountains and valleys are covered with thin clouds and fine mist. It is like a leisurely pastoral painting.

By water, you can rent a boat from Xingping and pass Huangbutan to the foot of the mountain, and then walk up the mountain.

4. Opening hours: all day

5. The 4-story observation deck of Xianggong Mountain has its own unique perspective beauty on each floor

It's far from Yangshuo. We met a female driver who was taking tourists on the street. Finally, she agreed to take us to Xianggong Mountain. We went all the way to the mountain. We were taken to the middle of the mountain. Then we paid 60 yuan for the entrance ticket. It didn't take long to climb. Even children could climb up. We only went to see the scenery at the top of the mountain. It was really good. On the left was the Nine Horse Painting Mountain. But the ticket price was too expensive.

The top of Xianggong Mountain is a great place to overlook the scenery of the First Bay of the Li River!

It takes about 1 hour to drive from Yangshuo to Xianggong Mountain. The road is not easy to drive. It takes about 15 minutes to climb from the bottom of the mountain to the top viewing platform. The steps are a bit steep. There are several levels of viewing platforms on the top of the mountain. Most tourists gather on the top floor. When taking pictures here, you always take pictures of other people around you. In fact, the scenery taken on the lower viewing platforms is similar, but there are few tourists. Suggestions for taking portraits: There are stone benches on the lower viewing platforms, and there are few tourists around. The photographer stands on the stone bench and the person being photographed stands on the edge of the railing. You can take pictures of people while maximizing the scenery in the photo.

The ticket to Xianggong Mountain is 60 yuan. After climbing for more than 20 minutes, you will reach the top of the mountain. There are street lights on the mountain path, which is very convenient. There is also Damei Mountain in Xingping where you can watch the sunrise. When you reach the top of the mountain, there are already dozens of people waiting.

I didn't see the legendary sunrise. A lady next to me came all the way from Guilin to take pictures of the sunrise. She said this was her third time here and she still didn't see it. Even so, I still thought it was very beautiful.

We set out from Yangshuo at 4:30 to watch the sunrise. We were very lucky to see it. The scenery was definitely beyond our expectations, very beautiful! There were many people watching the sunrise, but there were 4 viewing platforms, so everyone didn't have to squeeze, which was a good thing. The mountain was easy to climb, much easier than Laozhai Mountain, and it took about 20 minutes to get up. Stay a little longer after sunrise, the scenery is also great when the sun rises, and there is no one on the mountain, so you can take pictures as you like! Five-star recommendation!

You can drive up, and there is free parking at the entrance of the scenic area. It took 20 minutes to climb to the top of the mountain. It was foggy, and there was no sea of clouds, sunrise, light, or clouds until 9:00.

You must go to Xianggong Mountain, you can see the panoramic view, it's super beautiful! And Xianggong Mountain is not high, it takes about 20 minutes to climb to the top of the mountain.

We have arrived at Xianggong Mountain. It is worth our climb to see such a beautiful scenery. It is so picturesque. Only those who have been there can appreciate its beauty. Hahahaha (Why do I suddenly feel so pretentious?)

When you come to Xianggong Mountain, you must taste tea! Tea! Tea! Our lovely tour guide brought his own tea set, so we obeyed and enjoyed this wonderful moment (Don’t tell me, this Pu’er tea doesn’t taste good when I drink it normally. Wow, after drinking it on Xianggong Mountain, I really want to drink more and more, because I’m thirsty and it’s not easy to climb up.)

You need to pay an entrance fee of 60 yuan per person. You can drink some free monk fruit tea next to you, get familiar with those people, and ask them to buy it for you, and the ticket price will become 50 yuan. Then you start climbing the mountain, which takes about 15-25 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. The scenery is super beautiful.

May has already entered the rainy season in Yangshuo. It was drizzling and foggy on the way to Xianggong Mountain in the morning, so we couldn't see the sunrise.

But when I climbed to the top of Xianggong Mountain, I found that the whole scenery was shrouded in rising mist, which was quite different. I didn't care whether my hair was messy or my clothes were wet, and I just took pictures.

Every shot by the Li River has a poetic feeling of ink painting. As long as you think it is beautiful, record it, no matter whether it is a famous scenic spot or not.

On the way to Xianggong Mountain, you need to walk a short distance on the water. Local residents also take the ferry. Although it is of a certain age, it still blends perfectly with the scenery!

The top of Xianggong Mountain is surrounded by fog

Finally, I had to take a photo with the two cormorants by the river. After all... I was already here... and it only cost 10 yuan per photo.

The scenery along the way was beautiful, and we saw large areas of planted tangerines. There were not many tourists because most of them didn't know there was such a scenic spot overlooking the Li River and the karst forest with thousands of peaks. It was so beautiful!

China-TravelNote has a special tour to Xianggong Mountain, and you can charter a car to watch the sunrise for 100 yuan round trip. Although I was a little unlucky, the scenery here is really worth a visit, great!

Xianggong Mountain is located in Xingping Town, Yangshuo County, about 28 kilometers from Yangshuo and 57 kilometers from Guilin. Climbing up Xianggong Mountain and looking out, you can see the orderly arranged peaks and the winding Li River. The sea of clouds, sunrise, light and shadow, and colorful clouds here attract countless photography enthusiasts and photographers.

There are two ways to get to Xianggong Mountain: by land or by water. You can get off at Putao or Baisha from Yangshuo or Guilin and then rent a car to reach the foot of the mountain. You can also rent a car directly from Yangshuo or drive yourself through Baisha and turn right toward Guban to reach the shooting location. By water, you can rent a boat from Xingping and pass Huangbutan to the foot of the mountain, and then walk up the mountain. To climb Xianggong Mountain, you usually have to climb to the top before dawn to take pictures of the sunrise, sea of clouds, and colorful clouds, and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

We started to climb the mountain at around 4 o'clock. We reached the top of the mountain in about half an hour. The three-story viewing platform was already full of tripods, all of which came to take pictures of the sunrise and the Li River's big bend. Hundreds of people waited quietly in the dark for two hours. Gradually, the crowd began to stir. Someone said, "It's out, there's light." We were already drowsy and woke up suddenly. The crowd began to rush forward...



From a little light to the vague Lijiang River landscape, and then to a bright sky, the whole sky seemed overexposed. The strong sunlight made a hole in the thick clouds, and scattered rays of light. There was no amazing scene of the sun jumping out of the top of the mountain as imagined. Many people were packing up their tripods and preparing to go down the mountain. I felt that the Lijiang River under the clouds had a different flavor~

The scenic area is not well managed, but it is one of the best platforms for viewing the Li River. It is easy to take a great photo when viewing the first bend of the Li River from here on good weather... But you must choose good weather...

Standing on the top of Xianggong Mountain, you can overlook the entire Li River landscape. The scenery is super nice! The viewing platform of Xianggong Mountain faces east and is suitable for taking pictures of the sunrise.

It has a long-standing reputation. Even local people who are used to seeing the scenery here will come up to see it. The sunrise here, the mountains compete for beauty, the Li River is enchanting, and the clouds and mist are colorful.

Xianggong Mountain, the scenery here has attracted countless photography enthusiasts. Most photography enthusiasts climb to the top of Xianggong Mountain before dawn to take pictures of the sunrise, sea of clouds and colorful clouds.

We came here to see it on the way. We used Tencent Maps to navigate and entered the village road after Grape Town. The road became narrower. Following this road, we reached our destination - Xianggong Mountain.

The scenery is very good. There is a ticket fee, but it is not expensive, 60 yuan, it is still worth a visit

It's worth it if you watch the sunrise. It's nice to see the Li River from a distance, but the price has increased during the National Day holiday, 60 per person and can only be paid in cash. The scenic area is very small and it takes at most ten minutes to climb up. But today I was unlucky and it was light before I saw the sunrise.

This is worth recommending. Standing on the mountain overlooking the Li River and the Nine Horses Painting Mountain, I was in a good mood. The scenery was even better at sunset. Unfortunately, it was cloudy when I went there.
