🌟 Encounter the landscape featured on the 20 yuan RMB bill along the Li River with this one-day tour guide to Xingping Ancient Town! The scenery here is breathtakingly beautiful, and the silhouette of fishermen casting nets makes for stunning photos with just a snap📸
🚶♂️Recommended itinerary:
1. Xingping Pier Viewing Platform: Check in at the filming location of the 20 yuan RMB background, most charming in the early morning mist or at dusk
2. Fishing Village Visit: Experience traditional net fishing with local fishermen (grandpas usually set out from 9:00-11:00 AM / 4:00-6:00 PM)
3. Li River Bamboo Rafting: Recommended route is Xingping to Nine Horses Painting Hill section (ticket 120 yuan/person)
4. Ancient Town Old Street: Treasure shops like tie-dye workshops and pine sugar candy shops are hidden in the Ming and Qing dynasty buildings lining the stone-paved street
📸Photography TIPS:
• Best shooting spot is the shallow beach opposite Chaoban Mountain Pier
• One hour before sunset, golden sunlight fills the river surface
• You can pay to have an old fisherman pose casting nets for photos
🍜Must-try foods:
Beer Fish
Bamboo Tube Chicken
Try freshly grilled Li River shrimp cakes (mobile stalls at the pier)
⚠️Practical tips:
1. Wear non-slip shoes! The stones by the river are covered with moss
2. The ancient town post office sells postcards (with stamps featuring the 20 yuan background)
Watching fishermen slowly paddle bamboo rafts across the golden river at dusk, you finally understand what it means to "travel in a painting"😌 Newly discovered a small island 300 meters north of the pier in the river center, where flocks of egrets return to roost at dusk!
