Xingping Ancient Town 20 Yuan Scenic Spot Check-in

After much deliberation, I finally decided to visit Xingping Ancient Town.
I wanted to see the cormorants and take photos at the 20 yuan spot～
I longed to admire the beautiful landscape paintings🖼️
On my second day in Yangshuo, I headed straight there.
Ruyi Peak → Xingping Ancient Town → 20 Yuan RMB Background Check-in
Having enjoyed the waters on the first day, I wanted to start the second day by climbing high to see the mountains⛰️
We took the cable car🚡 up to Ruyi Peak, overlooking Yangshuo from above. After descending, we headed straight to the long-awaited Xingping Ancient Town!
The ancient town is filled with charming traditional architecture, with cobblestone streets lined with unique shops and food stalls～ We even tried the local beer fish🐟—tender and infused with a distinctive aroma, it was quite tasty!
Then, we made our way to the 20 Yuan RMB background spot. The further we walked, the more stunning the scenery became. Holding up the banknote for comparison, the landscape matched perfectly—it was truly magical!
There were plenty of bamboo rafts and cormorants🦅 around, and for a small fee, you could take photos with them—the results were incredibly atmospheric～

After leaving Xingping Ancient Town, we had pretty much explored all of Yangshuo, and it was time to head back. With a heart full of wonderful memories, we set off for Guilin or straight back to Shenzhen (Yangshuo’s high-speed rail station is very convenient).
