Xingping

Xingping_Karst_Mts - |Karst mountains around Xingping]

Xingping (兴坪) is based in North Guangxi, China. It is 27 kilometers upstream from Yangshuo on the Li River. The town was initially settled in 265 AD, and was the regional centre for Yangshuo County until Yangshuo was settled in 590 AD. Like Yangshuo, Xingping is surrounded by great examples of Karst scenery, with one particularly prominent peak overlooking the village from the southern end of the shoreline against the Yi River, which is topped with a lookout which can be climbed to with relative ease by those with an adventurous spirit and a head for heights. Certainly, not as clean or developed as neighboring touristy Yangshuo, it nonetheless has a nice authentic feel to it, complete with a few intact historical buildings and easy access to the Li River.

Travel as a Muslim to Xingping

Muslim Friendly Rail Holidays in Xingping

There is now a high speed train station called Yangshuo but it is actually very near to Xingping. From there you can get a bus for ¥7 yuan to Xingping.

Travel on a Bus in Xingping

• Minibuses from Yangshuo can take you into Xingping for ¥20 (October. 2018). These buses leave the south bus terminal in Yangshuo up until 6PM. There is a good bus service within Yangshuo (green and yellow buses) and they take you for ¥2 from main (west) to the south bus station.

Even though it is in between Yangshuo and Guilin, buses to Guilin always go to Yangshuo first. There are no buses that go directly to Guilin from Xingping. Bus fare to Guilin via Yangshuo is ¥28.

• Tourist boats visit Xingping from Yangshuo regularly, and passage can be arranged on one of these boats, if you prefer a more scenic route.

How to get around in Xingping

The majority of Xingping is relatively flat, with the exception of the peaks surrounding, and can be easily accessed on foot. This is the preferred option within the town itself, and it can be transversed in about fifteen minutes.

Alternately, some stores in town can arrange bicycle hire if you would prefer to cycle around and see the area. However and the few places to rent bicycles (there is one place across the street from the bus station, and a few hotels, and the hostel, This Old Place), often rent out bikes in bad shape. All bikes should be checked before renting. Beware of wild driving habits in the nationside!

Trails and country roads are difficult to navigate on the measly land cruisers offered.

What to see in Xingping

Xingping_street - |Typical Xingping street

• Bird's View Pavilion | This pavilion, perched on the Karst peak on the Southern end of the waterfront on the Yi River gives a spectacular view of both the town of Xingping and the distinctive surrounding scenery. The climb is a bit challenging in sections and you are advised to do it in the cool part of the day. It comprises 1159 steps taking you to an altitude of 220 metres above the town. The path as you get higher gets quite challenging as the steps are uneven, poorly maintained and steep. The small pavilion at the end of the climb is a welcome spot to relax, although the habitual dropping of rubbish is quite noticeable in the immediate area surrounding it. Views further south on the river are feasible by scrambling over the rocks behind the pavilion near the telephone tower, but this can be quite slick and risky and is not recommended unless you are quite at home on rocks and at heights.

• ¥20 Point | The landscape on the ¥20 note is just outside Xingping, You may think that the Chinese are looking for money from you when really they are pointing this out. You can take a photo from the exact same spot as this picture. Free

• Lotus Cave | While not a great cave to explore (any cave in the Yangshuo/Guilin area is much better) and the bicycle ride to and from is quite pleasant. Relatively free of traffic, and well-paved by GuangXi standards, Lotus cave is locate on the southeastern edge of a beautiful valley. ¥45/person

• Dahebei Village

A peninsula in the other side of Xingping town. Take a ferry to cross the river at the Xingping pier, ¥2. It is a small angler village, with the charming of the nationside in China. Walk around the orchards, vegetables gardens and the trails around the village. Listen nature she have something to tell you. Enjoy the nationside,expend some time with the local people. The local people make life by planting fruits, driving bamboo boat.

What to do in Xingping

QiXitrail - The trail from Xingping to Yangdi

• Li River Boat Trip | Take a boat trip along the most famous parts of the Li River for an hour and a half. These small boats are much more enjoyable that the large cruise ships that cruise by and far cheaper. Bargain hard.

• Yangdi - Xingping - As of Aug 2022, this 18-24 kilometers walk can be done both ways and it is a far more peaceful way to enjoy the Li river and mountain scenery than a loud noisy boat down the river. It takes you along the pebbly shores of the river, through many small villages, fields and bamboo forests. You will have to take three bamboo rafts across the river at about ¥20-30 each after bargaining. Just tell someone you want to go "walking". In the direction of Xingping the first ferry crossing can be difficult to negotiate as it appears to not be entirely legal. The other ferries however are not an issue. If you get tired during the walk, you can always rent a bamboo raft to float down the river; don't worry about availability -you will be turning down offers of 'Bamboo? Bamboo?' the whole way. There are plenty of people selling food and fruit drinks along the way, ranging from single sellers to sit-down cafes. One can then take a bamboo raft back to the start ¥700-500 one way.

• Hike to Fisher village - This is a hour or so walk south of town. One can also reach the village by boat. Local will take you to the roof tops if you like for a panoramic view for ¥7. There are pictures of the Clinton's when they visited the spot on the walls. The youth hostel in town has a map with directions.

Muslim Friendly Shopping in Xingping

There are a number of semi-permanent market stalls near the waterfront, all selling quite similar goods - pashmina scarfs, jade sculptures, books with photos from the Yi River, etc. As tourist traffic from Yangshuo increases, expect these savvy marketeers to start inflating their prices to match. Good bargains can be had, as with most of China, but only by those who educate themselves on the real value of the goods, and who have the skill and experience to negotiate for the right price.
