20 Yuan view: Yangshuo or Xingping? 💴

Guilin area is famous because of the unique landscapes. Look at 20 yuan banknote! ⛰ But if you want to see it in real life, you should go to Xingping Ancient Town 兴坪古镇店. It’s a beautiful village with cozy streets, delicious food and amazing nature! Compared to Yangshuo, this town is small, but also worth to visit! ✔️ Walking down the ancient streets, drinking fresh orange juice from local farmers. Enjoy your boat trip🛳 Plz, don’t take pirates with birds. No to animal abuse. 🚘 From Yangshuo Railway Station: 12 minutes or 25 min by bus From Guilin Railway Station/Airport: 1h40m From Yangshuo city: 40 min 🏨 Plenty of hotels around! My choice was Linyuanju Hotel 阳朔林缘居饭店 . Good price, quite place and amazing view! 🍽 Local food is delicious! If you wonder around you may find a hidden coffeehouse (look at the 3rd picture) #passionpassport #gooutside #guilin #xingping

20 Yuan Viewpoint

The image of 20 yuan note is a view of a fisherman on his bamboo boat floating down the Li River through the Karst mountains of Guilin. The viewpoint is located around 25 kilometers northeast of Yangshuo, near Xingping Fishing Village (兴坪景区). Xingping is a small village along the Li River. The scenery around Xingping is absolutely magnificent, so if you want to see 20 Yuan viewpoint you need take a walk out of town on a nice path which crosses a tributary of the Li River and takes you onto a smaller road that runs along the river. After about a 20 minutes walk from Xingping village you will reach the spot where you can see the scenery immortalised on the national 20 RMB note. There’s a spot where everyone is taking a picture, it’s crowded and noisy. So we walk down the road and went down the hill to the river and found a wonderful spot where you can see the view of 20 rmb note. And there’s no people. How to get there: minibuses departing to Xingping are available at Yangshuo Bus Station (around 45 minutes). Then walk from Xingping 20 minutes to the viewpoint. #summervacation #xingping #20rmb #yangshuo #summer #china #

These birds are called Cormorant and they belong to this friendly fisherman! Cormorant fishing is a traditional fishing method which fishermen use trained cormorant to fish in the rivers! #china #yangshou #xingping #cormorant #awesomepic

Rafting the Rapids in the Jungle

Located near xingping, which is where the iconic image on the 20RMB note was taken, this rafting spot. Nestled beautifully between high-rising cliffs and the jungle is the river which has been adapted to create rapids for people to descent safely. Going down to river feels rather exhilarating with some big drops. The dingy is sturdy and can fit two adults easily. You aren't provided with paddles which encourages a nice drift down the river. Water fights between boats and splashing each other is fun when waiting for the drops! The water is clear and natural which means it can be cold, but refreshing, and there are nice hot showers provided afterwards with some food options. .#rafting #China #xingping #yangshuo #guilin #trip
