[2025 Yangshuo Attraction] Travel Guide for ‎Nine horses mountain scenic spot (Updated May)

As an outdoor blogger who explores mountains and rivers on foot, I've always believed that the best way to experience the Li River isn't from the deck of a cruise ship, but by hiking along this world-class karst corridor. This guide will unlock the wildest side of the Li River, taking you on a three-day, two-night adventure to discover the poetic hidden paradise described by Xu Xiake, amidst reflections of green peaks. Day 1: Hiking the Xingping Section (Yellow Cloth Shoal - Nine Horses Fresco Hill) Start at 6:30 am from Xingping Ancient Town and walk along the east bank trail of the Li River. The Yellow Cloth Shoal in the morning mist presents a grayscale aesthetic reminiscent of an ink painting. I recommend wearing wading shoes to cross the shallows near Luosi Mountain. 300 meters north of the 20 RMB banknote viewpoint, there's a hidden viewing platform favored by locals. At noon, enjoy bamboo rice with Liquan beer in Lengshui Village. In the afternoon, as you pass Nine Horses Fresco Hill, remember to use a telephoto lens to capture the natural frescoes on the cliffs. Day 2: Yangdi - Crown Cave Wild Climbing Route This undeveloped 10 km section is a hidden gem for outdoor enthusiasts. From Yangdi Pier, head upstream along the west bank, searching for Xu Xiake's inscriptions on the ancient path entwined with grapevines. There are three climbing points along the way that require the use of both hands and feet, so bring anti-slip gloves. When you reach Banbian Ferry, the old boatman still charges the original fare of 1 yuan per person. The undeveloped area of Crown Cave offers a chance to explore the underground river; a headlamp and waterproof bag are essential. Day 3: Yulong River Cycling Adventure Rent a mountain bike and cycle along the Jiuxian - Jima Village greenway, avoiding the crowded piers. Turn onto the small path at Shuangliu Yidu Pavilion. In May, you can witness the traditional scene of farmers transplanting rice seedlings in the paddy fields. I recommend taking a break at the Secret Garden Cafe. The owner, Lao Mo, will tell you how to find the perfect spot to photograph the 500-year-old camphor tree by the river. [Food and Accommodation Tips] - The rooftop of the Li River Old Place International Youth Hostel in Xingping offers a prime location for photographing the First Bend of the Li River. - The Secret Garden Inn in Yangshuo, renovated from a century-old northern Guangxi residence, serves a must-try bamboo chicken soup. - At the "Old Neighborhood" teahouse at the entrance to the ancient town, a 5 yuan bowl of "boat cake" with Lei Gong Gen herbal tea is the perfect way to unwind. [Equipment List] 30L lightweight backpack, quick-drying clothing, trekking poles, mosquito repellent, waterproof map (mobile signal is often intermittent) When the setting sun paints Nine Horses Fresco Hill gold, you'll suddenly understand the ancient saying, "I'd rather be a Guilin resident than a celestial being." The beauty of the Li River is always hidden around the corner, waiting to be discovered by those willing to explore its mountains and waters. Share your unique Li River stories in the comments section; perhaps we'll meet on a mountain path someday.

As the boat glides along, the verdant mountains on both sides reflect in the water, their heights varying and their shapes ever-changing, like an unfolding ink painting.

Different from Li River rafting, Yulong River rafting is more challenging and exciting, and you can enjoy the clear river water and unique karst landforms along the way.

Snail meat is mixed with pork, spices, etc., stuffed back into the snail shell and cooked. Delicious and rich in flavor, this is a specialty dish not to be missed. • Lipu Taro Cake: Lipu taro is one of Guilin’s specialties. Lipu taro cake is made from Lipu taro and is a pastry with a soft and glutinous texture and rich aroma. You can taste it in food stalls or restaurants in Yangshuo.

In the early morning, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yulong River and breathe fresh air. Leisure activities • Cycling: Yangshuo is great for cycling, with many cycling roads and routes around the county. You can rent a bicycle or electric bike from a local rental agency and explore the beauty of Yangshuo at your own pace. • Hiking: If you like hiking, you can choose some suitable hiking routes, such as the Ten-Li Gallery, Yulong River Trail, etc. During the hike, you can better appreciate the scenery and feel the charm of nature. • Watch the sunrise and sunset: There are many viewing platforms in Yangshuo where you can watch the sunrise and sunset.

The entire route is 20 km long. Only the first section requires climbing over a small hill, while the rest of the route is very friendly. There are also supply points along the way, and the prices are not expensive. On the second day in Guilin, I decided to have a non-tourist day. I left Guilin early in the morning and took a bus to Yangdi Township from Guilin South Bus Station. In short, they are all passing buses, and you can ask the driver to remind you when to get off. At the entrance of Yangdi Township, wait for the bus from Yangshuo to Yangdi Township Ferry, and get off at the bridgehead. If you are coming from Yangshuo, you can take the minibus directly. Get off at the bridgehead, pass through the village and fields, and arrive at the foot of a mountain. Then you need to climb over it. It was winter, and the waterfall was dry. Find a way to get to the bottom of the waterfall, and you can start walking along the Li River. When you can't walk along the river, you need to walk a little on the village road. The scenery is beautiful, and you can enjoy the scenic spots along the way. Take photos and rest. It usually takes 6-7 hours to reach Xingping Ancient Town. Then you can stay overnight or take a bus to Yangshuo.

I did a lot of research and found that a trip around the town is a great experience, so here are some tips. Transportation: Take a high-speed train from Guilin to Yangshuo Station. After exiting Yangshuo Station, turn left and take a bus to West Street or Xingping Ancient Town. The bus fare is CNY 5 and it takes 15 minutes to get to Xingping Ancient Town Bus Station. Turn right after exiting the bus station and you will see the old street of the ancient town. The street runs from east to west. You can take photos during the day or at night. The highlight of Xingping is not the ancient town, but the landscape of the Li River. Here is a detailed description. There are two docks in Xingping. One is at the entrance of the ancient town, where the legendary CNY 85 tourist boat is located. The other is Chaobanshan Dock, which is outside the ancient town, across the iron bridge, and further south along the river. This dock is for CNY 140 electric bamboo rafts. Special reminder: The CNY 85 boat goes downstream on the Li River, so you can't see the view on the CNY 20 banknote. The CNY 140 bamboo raft is the right choice to see the view on the CNY 20 banknote and the Nine Horses Fresco Hill. Tickets are sold separately at the two docks. The bamboo raft ride takes 50 to 70 minutes. It is recommended to go early, as each raft can carry four people and will only depart when full, unless you charter a boat for CNY 140 per person. Special note on the CNY 20 banknote photo spot: You can take photos on the bamboo raft, on the roadside, or on the riverbed. Navigate to "CNY 20 Viewing Platform" on the roadside. There are many steps leading down to the riverbed along the road, which are easy to find. After the bamboo raft ride, you can rent an electric bike for CNY 20 and ride from the ancient town along the main road to the Nine Horses Fresco Hill. This is the best way to enjoy Xingping Ancient Town. In addition, the sunset over the Li River is also beautiful at night in Xingping Ancient Town. You can stay overnight, as it is very quiet. Remember to bring a drone, as the view is stunning.

The hostel is located in the ancient street of Xingping Town, with a superior location, adjacent to the famous Yangshuo 20 RMB scenic spot, 4.2 km from the Nine Horse Painting Mountain Scenic Spot, and 4.3 km from Xianggong Mountain Scenic Spot.

#10月好去2024 #Guilin It is said that Guilin's landscape is the best in the world. When traveling to Guilin this time, of course I have to visit the Nine Horse Painting Hill and take a look at the landscape photo on the 20 yuan bill. While on the boat trip, I heard the story of Nine Horses Painting Mountain: Legend has it that nine celestial horses came to the Li River on earth to drink water and were spotted by a mortal painter. The horses panicked and hid in the rock wall, and were then painted by the painter. This mountain was then called Nine Horses Painting Mountain. Whenever the sun sets and the sunset glows, the nine horses seem to come alive in the painting, which is breathtaking. Let your imagination run wild and see how many horses you can spot while you cruise! After the tour, you can go to a nearby town to eat something and experience the local culture and characteristics.

Guilin's landscape is renowned worldwide, and the Li River in Yangshuo is particularly enchanting. A three-day itinerary in brief: On the first day, stroll through Yangshuo, enjoy the misty rain over the Li River, and seek dreams amidst the green waves and bamboo groves; on the second day, take a boat ride on the river, view the Nine Horse Fresco Hill, and fully enjoy the picturesque landscape; on the last day, climb the Gudong Waterfall, explore the natural wonders, and capture memories of the stunning scenery. This journey will let you be accompanied by green mountains and clear waters, experience the distant lands depicted in poetry and paintings, and gain an unforgettable trip.

Jiumahuashan is located about 40 kilometers north of Yangshuo County. It is a mountain dominated by limestone geological landscape. Its name comes from the natural wonder of nine horses of different shapes distributed on the mountain, so it is known as "the wonder of the world". Climbing up Jiuma Painting Hill, you can overlook the magnificent scenery of Yangshuo. Between the mountains, there are steep cliffs, clear water and lush pines, and the scenery is so picturesque that one can't help but marvel at the magical creation of nature. Especially in the early morning and evening, the beautiful scenery of sunrise and sunset is breathtaking. In addition to appreciating the natural scenery, tourists can also engage in some outdoor activities in Jiuma Painting Mountain, such as mountain climbing and hiking, to feel the charm of nature. In addition, there are some cultural relics and ancient buildings in the scenic area, allowing tourists to have a deeper understanding of the history and culture of this land. Whether tourists like natural scenery or are interested in history and culture, Jiuma Painting Mountain can meet their needs. When you come to Yangshuo, you may want to arrange a trip to the Nine Horses Painting Mountain to feel the charm of nature and appreciate the unique charm of this land. There are two ways to see Jiuma Mountain: 1. Cruise 2. Electric bike to the opposite shore Since I rented an electric bike, I rode directly to the opposite shore, but unfortunately it was late, so I could only check in and leave At night, I ate local delicacies near Xingping Ancient Town, such as bamboo tube chicken, Lijiang river shrimp, bamboo tube glutinous rice, oil tea, and other local delicacies
