Above-water Scenic Area
Along the lower reaches of the Li River lies the Sanjie Liu Above-water Park, where the film 'Sanjie Liu' was made. This is a picturesque environment consisting of pure water, green hills and farm houses. You can roll a bamboo raft and catch fish in the water, or you can act as Brother Aniu and sing a musical dialogue with the performer of Sanjie Liu. This area also provides you the opportunity to enjoy the famous performance 'Impression Sanjie Liu' that takes the natural environment around the Li River as its backdrop.

Apart from the areas mentioned above, there are also other special places worth visiting. Xingping, the most ancient town of the area, is famous for its most spectacular scenic spots such as the Fishing Village along the Li River. Located three kilometers (1.9 miles) northeast of Xingping Town, the Lotus Cave is greatly praised for its remarkable Karst spectacle, especially the 108 cave lotuses. Rolling a bamboo raft in the emerald water of the Yulong River, the so called Little Li River, is also a wonderful way to relax. To the east, the 'Hometown of Painting Fans' - Fuli will no doubt satisfy your desire to find traditional handicrafts. Xanadu provides the opportunity to escape the city life.

It provides the perfect opportunity to bring you back in touch with nature. Moreover, Yuzi Paradise, a large outdoor art park showing primarily contemporary sculpture and cavern art and Yangshuo Cultural Relic Landscape Garden are also very popular sights there.
