Xianggong Hill sunrise and a Li River village morning: photography hike
6 hoursPrivate transportationPrivate tour for 1–4 peopleGuilin & Yangshuo, South ChinaModerate (20-min climb in the dark)
The view from Xianggong Hill at sunrise is the one on every Guilin poster: the Li River bending between a hundred karst peaks, with mist in the valleys. We leave Yangshuo at 4:45, climb the 20 minutes of steps by torchlight, and watch the light come. Then down to the river for a village breakfast and the quiet morning stretch of the bank on foot.

Questions about this tour
What if it is cloudy?
We check the forecast the night before; low cloud still gives the mist, rain does not. In rain we move to a later start and the Yulong River instead.
