Xianggong Mountain Travel Guide

Watching the sunrise and sunset is the most famous here, but if you want to see the sunrise, you must start from Yangshuo at 3 or 4 in the morning

Sunrise time:

In summer, the sunrise is generally early, and you need to leave for Xianggong Mountain at 04:30-05:00 in the morning; in winter, you generally need to leave for Xianggong Mountain at 05:30-06:00 in the morning.

It takes about 15 minutes from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. It is all stone steps. There are three layers of viewing platforms. Many people have gathered on each viewing platform. Many photographers have already set up their positions to shoot.

Watching the sunrise requires luck. If the sky is clear and there are no clouds, you can see the sunrise. If it rains one day and the next day is clear (no fog), you can see the sea of clouds.

Sunrise and sunset are the best times to visit Xianggong Hill, as the changing light creates stunning colors and shadows on the mountains and the river.
