2025 Xing'an County Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

I've tried it for everyone, this B&B was recommended by a friend. I've always been scared of B&Bs, thinking that many of them are overhyped. I usually prefer staying in star-rated hotels, feeling assured about the environment and facilities. Luckily, this time I didn't step on a landmine. Take the high-speed train to Xing'an North, the B&B is about 50 kilometers from Xing'an North, it takes about an hour by car, suitable for self-driving, but calling a car is also very convenient. The hotel has a sense of design, with simple decoration, surrounded by green mountains and streams, and you can play in the water just outside the door. The hotel has its own swimming pool, and the boss changes the water every night, which deserves real-name praise. You can see the beautiful scenery outside the window from every corner of the room, super beautiful. The toiletries are horse oil, which is also quite good. The meals at the B&B are very good, breakfast is rice noodles with egg and corn, other meals can be ordered, just tell the boss on WeChat what time you want to eat in advance, and it's ready when you get back, simply too cool. The B&B also has nice coffee, you can drink iced Americano when you wake up in the morning, this life is just too cool! So happy, thanks to my friend's recommendation, this holiday has been much happier because of this place! Love]

It was actually part of a staycation deal that we signed up with a tour group. Situated among the rice 🌾 fields, we had two options to leave behind our bags 🛍️ so porters will help to bring things up or, we sweat it out to make this worth it 😎. We chose the second, and hiked with some nice view of the field. The hotel was nice with all the amenities, but as it is summer and bit of moisture there; 🐝 insects problem was there. Again, we went for a evening 🥾 hike into seven head dragon trail (yes, that was the name 😉) only to meet a wriggling stranger with hiss sound 🐍. It was fun though !! #hikefreak #chinatravel #summervacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

Driving to Guilin, crossing mountains and rivers, we finally found this hidden paradise. It is located at the foot of Mao'er Mountain, far from the hustle and bustle, yet still warm and welcoming. The homestay here is like the ranch house in the American drama "Yellowstone", made of stone and wood, exuding a primitive and natural charm. Every large floor-to-ceiling window is like a picture frame, inlaid with endless green bamboo forests and distant mountains. By the Longtan River, we feel the coolness and vitality of the water. In summer, this can be a paradise for playing in the water; in autumn and winter, we sit around the bonfire, enjoy the distant mountain scenery, and enjoy the fun of barbecue. At night, the firelight of the fireplace reflects our smiling faces, and the fragrance of pine wood fills the air. The touch of stone and wood, the sound of birds, the sound of streams, and the rustling of the breeze through the bamboo forest all make us feel the tranquility and harmony of nature. This is our secluded secret place, a place where we can forget our troubles and relax. In this secret place, we found the poetry and distance of life. Machichi Homestay

Mochuan, the golden river Destination: Mochuan, Guilin Transportation: Mochuan is located in Xing'an County, north of Guilin, known as the hometown of northern Guilin, at the border of Hunan and Guangxi. The three ginkgo viewing spots are Qin Family Courtyard, Bangshang Village, and Zhangjiaqi Village. The nearest Qin Family Courtyard is about a 40-minute drive from Xing'an County, and Bangshang Village and Zhangjiaqi Village take about 1.5 hours. Mochuan is a scattered ginkgo viewing spot. Itinerary: November 25–26, just in time for the ginkgo to turn golden, with some already starting to fall, expected to fall within a week. November 25: Foshan–Guilin West–Qin Family Courtyard–Xing'an County (stay) November 26: Xing'an County–Bangshang Village–Zhangjiaqi–Guilin West–Foshan Angle: The three ginkgo viewing spots are all village houses + ginkgo, but each has its own characteristics. Personally, I like Qin Family Courtyard the best, followed by Bangshang Village, and Zhangjiaqi the least. Qin Family Courtyard: The ginkgo trees are growing very well, and the leaves are full of moisture, so they are dazzling in the sunlight. There is a 600-year-old ginkgo tree in the village, but the leaves have fallen quite a bit. The main viewing area is on the main road of the village. It is recommended to walk into the village, where there are fewer people and some ginkgo trees with good growth, creating a great atmosphere for photography. Villagers sell agricultural products on both sides, but the commercial atmosphere is not strong. Bangshang Village: According to the introduction, this village was formed by the guards of the Jingwang Mansion of the Ming Dynasty stationed here. There are many ancient buildings in the village, which is very suitable for those who like to take photos of old buildings + ginkgo. The ginkgo viewing area is above the village on the hillside, with the most concentrated area in the ginkgo forest in the corner of the thousand-year-old camphor tree. The trees are very tall, the leaves are very golden, and the overall picture is very autumnal. There are also many ginkgo trees on both sides of the mountain trail, but the leaves are a bit cool in color. It is said that you can climb to the pavilion halfway up the mountain to overlook the whole village, but the trail is not easy to walk, so I didn't go further. The commercial atmosphere of the ancient village is okay, and the local Wenk grapes are quite sweet. Zhangjiaqi: 20 minutes' drive from Bangshang Village, with many farmers selling agricultural products on both sides of the main road, and tourists camping in the ginkgo forest at the entrance. The ginkgo trees here don't seem to be very old, not tall and straight enough, and the color is also lacking. The village is not very distinctive, so just take a casual stroll.

Witnessing a great engineering feat, the Xing'an Lingqu Canal. It was the excavation of the Lingqu Canal that connected the Xiang River and the Li River, opening up the waterway between the north and the south, which provided an important guarantee for the Qin Dynasty to unify the Lingnan region. A large amount of grain and supplies were transported to Lingnan via the waterway, ensuring a sufficient supply of materials. In 214 BC, the year the Lingqu Canal was completed and navigable, Qin troops conquered Lingnan and subsequently established the three counties of Guilin, Xiangjun, and Nanhai, officially incorporating Lingnan into the territory of the Qin Dynasty. ​Flying overhead with a drone, one can clearly see that the main project of the Lingqu Canal consists of parts such as the Plowshare, the Big Leveling, the Small Leveling, the South Canal, the North Canal, the Spillway Leveling, the Culvert, the Steep Gate, the Weir Dam, the Qin Dyke, and bridges. Although they were built at different times, they are interconnected and form an indispensable part of the Lingqu Canal. ​Located 3 kilometers southeast of Xing'an County town, the diversion pond on the upper reaches of the Haiyang River dam (also known as Meitan) is called 'Plowshare' because of its sharp front and blunt rear, resembling a plowshare. It is a stone dam with a water-diverting function that connects with the Big and Small Leveling. The dam is built upstream from the junction of the Big and Small Leveling, and the direction of the sharp angle is opposite to the main flow direction of the Haiyang River, splitting the river water into two, one flowing into the Li River through the South Canal, and the other returning to the Xiang River through the North Canal.

Guangxi Guilin's "Little Jiuzhaigou" is called Lijiang Source Grand Canyon, which is the source of the Lijiang River. The water is so clear that it seems to contain no impurities, and it feels like a desecration to reach in. After entering the gate of the scenic area, follow the stream all the way upstream. Along the way, you will pass many pools, Longtan, Bajie Pool, Swan Pool, each of which is as beautiful as a gem, from deep green to light green, the color is very pure. It's a pity that the weather is not beautiful, and it rains from time to time. What surprised me most was a large bamboo sea that I passed by on the road, which reminded me of the scene where Zhang Ziyi and Chow Yun-fat were comparing swords in the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Wandering among the scattered bamboos, I felt as if I had also entered the world of martial arts. The photos here are super beautiful, especially when wearing ancient costumes, the photos are very outstanding. There are also ancient houses in the bamboo sea, which look like a place where hermits live, very quiet. Stay at the Lijiang Source Resort Hotel in the evening, the room is spacious and bright, you can see the bamboo forest and Lijiang River outside the window, you can also barbecue on the opposite river bank, eating barbecue while watching the lake and mountains, very comfortable.

Guilin tracing stream jelly water·Cat Mountain Lijiang Source Grand Canyon The Lijiang Source Grand Canyon at the foot of Cat Mountain in Guilin maintains the original ecological appearance with high negative ion content, which is a natural oxygen bar. This is the source of the Lijiang River, where the water is clear and sweet. It is said that after the fairies bathed in Fengtan, they would come here to put up fresh fruits and fine wines, singing and dancing! For many years, the girls of the Yao nationality in the four major Yao villages of Huajiang, namely Cat Mountain, Duck Po Mountain, Stone Dog Head Mountain, and Chicken Ridge Mountain, have come to this pool to bathe and cleanse themselves when they turn 16, and then return to the village to hold adult ceremonies. The water here is clear and transparent. The so-called 'jelly water' and 'glass water' by the locals in Guilin are derived from these scenic spots at the foot of Cat Mountain, such as Longtan River Scenic Area (Leigongyan), Lijiang Source Grand Canyon, etc. The canyon scenic area is distributed with many deep and shallow canyon deep pools, and the bamboo sea of ten miles maintains the original ecological appearance, 'a mountain has four seasons, and the weather varies every ten miles.'
