The road between Guilin and Yangdi is about 20km. The whole hiking route (Yangdi-Xingping) will take 6 hours or so, and it will involves in three times of crossing the river by ferry.

Yangdi is a small and quiet riverside village far from the bustle of city. It is known as the start point of Li River's highlight section. The green river can be seen gently flowing by with its setting forming by the pretty hills once you get off the coach. Right at Yangdi have the first crossing to the opposite bank. About 30 minutes hiking forward will bring you to Langshi, your second crossing point. Walking downstream along the picturesque scenery you will reach Nine-horses Mural Hill, one of the symbolic sights of the Li River. The hill is so named for its face-water cliff naturally has the images of nine horses heading to different positions. The third crossing point is not far from the hill. After the third ferry and about 8km's hiking, you'll see Yellow Cloth Shoal where peaks are steep and water surface is wide and calm. Here the riverbed can be seen clearly covered with the sands which resemble a piece of yellow cloth. The coach will be found waiting at Xingping to pick you up to Yangshuo. The distance between Xiangping and Yangshuo is about 26km.

Tonight you could choose to enjoy a show named Impression of Liusanjie in the open-air theater. The show is performed on the water surface with surrounding 12 famous peaks and river forming a natural backdrop. Epitomizing the beauty of Li River, the cultures of ethnic groups in Guangxi and the creation of outstanding Chinese artists, the performance will give you a vivid picture that you have never saw and imagined before.

As it is said, Yangshuo is the paradise in the south of China. Today you have a chance to find out the reasons. One smooth road leads to the aptly named the Moon Hill - a great limestone pinnacle with a naturally created moon-shaped passage going through just below its summit. On the way to Moon Hill, firstly visit a symbolized sightseeing of Yangshuo- the Big Banyan Tree. Just off the road is the 1500-year-old Big Banyan Tree whose branches and roots spread over a large area close to the river. Reaching the upper section of Moon Hill requires us a steep climb up a well-made path through groves of dense bamboo. Once past the luxuriant vegetation, the path enters the great natural opening that distinguishes it from its neighbors. This landscape is peaceful and stunning viewed from Moon Hill. Further away still, the skyline is lined with peaks of almost equal height - resembling narrow triangles of rock pointing skywards. Most are dark green, being covered with a thick mass of fairly jagged vegetation. A patchwork of fields, in different stages of growth, produces abundant crops of rice and vegetables. The main road back to Yangshuo lies in the distance, cutting a sweeping path through this serene land.
