Yangdi to Xingping

Yangdi to Xingping (5-6 hrs)

This is a beautiful hike that takes in some of the Li River’s finest karst scenery. The riverside trail is mostly flat, but it’s a long hike and there are some beautiful spots along the way so it’s worth taking a picnic with you to enjoy en-route. Although you’ll find a few villages along the way, make sure you stock up with water, particularly in summer.

To begin the hike you’ll need to take a local bus to Yangdi, which takes around an hour. At Yangdi you’ll need to buy a Li River entrance ticket, and then take a boat across the river where the southward trail begins. You’ll need to cross the river another couple of times on the route down, once at Wave Stone Hill and then again when you reach Nine Horses Hill a little before Xingping. At Xingping you could stop for a drink or a snack at one of the cafés near the docks before taking another hour-long local bus back to Yangshuo.
