【Introduction】:Located 25 km from Yangshuo, on the east shore of the Li River, the Ancient Town of Xingping has a history of more than 1,300 years.

Located 25 km from Yangshuo, on the east shore of the Li River, the Ancient Town of Xingping has a history of more than 1,300 years. Apart from the well-preserved Ming Dynasty architectures and fine wood carving, dating back to more than five hundred years ago, Xingping boasts some of the best natural scenery in the area. The picture on the back of the 20 yuan note is of mountains that can be seen on the edge of this ancient town.

The ancient town's outline is still clear and the shards of brick and ceramic can be seen everywhere, however, it is no longer a prosperous town with many people coming and going. Instead, it presents an atmosphere of peace and silence. The “small fishing village” that was once visited by Sun Zhongshan, the father of the Chinese Republic and Bill Clinton, the former American president is the Ancient Town of Xingping, which has been through many vicissitudes but it still preserves its pristine beauty. The slab was gradually polished with the passing years, highlighting its long history.

The outstanding section of Li River's bamboo raft is right here in Xingping

The boat floats through the mountain and the broad river reflects the beautiful view, just like a mirror’s surface
