🌟 Yangshuo Xingping: Fishermen Singing at Dusk in an Ink Painting 🌄 The Millennium Poetry by the Li River In the landscape painting of the Li River, the most authentic Chinese-style romance is hidden. Xingping Ancient Town, a small town in northern Guangxi with a history of over 1,300 years, was once the most prosperous commercial port along the Li River. Today, it has transformed into a real-life filming location for the "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains" scroll painting. Standing on the viewing platform featured on the 20 yuan RMB note, you can almost hear the distant echo of Liu Zongyuan’s words, "A single call of the oars, the mountains and waters turn green." 🎣 Fishermen’s Lights Illuminate a Thousand-Year Tradition 1️⃣ Huangbu Reflection Light Chaser At dusk, an old fisherman wearing a straw raincoat slowly paddles a bamboo raft. The unique cormorant fishing technique of the Li River has been passed down for a thousand years. These "underwater hunters" have ropes tied around their necks; with a swift dive into the clear water, they emerge holding silver-glimmering fish. Personal experience: When the fisherman casts his net, the golden sunlight penetrates the mesh, resembling the brushstrokes in Xu Beihong’s ink paintings. 2️⃣ Nine Horses Painting Mountain Mystery On both banks of the Li River in the Xingping section, a magical cliff hides a natural "Nine Horses Painting." Legend says that those who can count all nine horses possess great wisdom. Premier Zhou Enlai once found all nine. Standing on a bamboo raft and looking up, the mountain shapes change with the angle, and everyone can interpret a different story. 3️⃣ Laozhai Mountain Sunset View A secret spot discovered by British explorers Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay. A half-hour climb leads to the summit, where the full view of the First Bend of the Li River unfolds. At sunset, hundreds of bamboo rafts create golden ripples on the river, evoking the poetic scene of "Fishermen singing at dusk, echoing along the Pengli shore" described by ancient poets. Tips for Staying Overnight in Xingping: - Choose a riverside guesthouse; open your window in the morning to see the fairyland of mist-covered Li River - Try Li River beer fish, cooked with fresh local swordfish - Experience night fishing with the locals; the Li River under the starlight has a unique charm In Xingping, time seems enchanted. When the bamboo raft glides over the reflection of Huangbu Beach, you will understand why Xu Xiake said, "Guilin’s landscape is the best under heaven, and Yangshuo’s landscape is the best in Guilin." This place is not just a scenic spot but a three-dimensional landscape poem flowing through a thousand years.
