Other notable visitors include Sun Yat-sen, Zhou Enlai, and Deng Xiaoping, all of whom spoke highly of Xingping’s serene and picturesque environment.
Established originally in 265 AD as Xiping Town, the area later became known as Xingping. The ancient town has been remarkably well-preserved, maintaining its historical architecture and cultural heritage. The town’s bright and clean slab-stone alleys, performance stage built during the Wanli period (1573-1620), and Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings contribute to its reputation as the most beautiful ancient town along the Li River.
Endowed with numerous natural spectacles, Xingping Ancient Town boasts eight famous scenic spots and 24 attractions, including Nine Horses Fresco Hill, Yellow Cloth Shoal, and Lotus Cave. The town’s close proximity to these natural wonders makes it an ideal getaway for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life.
Apart from its natural beauty, Xingping is home to many historical sites such as ancient bridges, ferries, pavilions, stages, and temples. These sites, along with the town's architectural complex, contribute to its designation as "the most charming ancient town along the Li River."
Xingping Ancient Street, paved with flagstones, stretches over one kilometer from the southeast of the town to the ancient ferry. Along this street, you will find well-preserved guild halls, reflecting the town’s vibrant past. One of the most fascinating sights is an old banyan tree, believed to have been planted when Xiping County was established. This ancient tree has “eaten” five statues of Bodhisattvas and a 20-ton stone with its luxuriant roots, creating a unique and mystical atmosphere.
Immerse yourself in the timeless beauty and rich history of Xingping Fishing Village, where the charm of ancient China meets the stunning landscapes of Guilin. Whether you are here to explore its historical streets, marvel at the natural wonders, or simply soak in the tranquil ambiance, Xingping promises an unforgettable experience.
