Fuli Ancient Town
福利古镇
An old riverside town on the Li River, famous for hand-painted fans. Its Ming and Qing old street, wharf, and market preserve local customs.
Fuli Town lies on the east bank of the lower Li River, about 8 km east of Yangshuo town. The town has several centuries of history. Its old street keeps Ming and Qing bluestone paths and arcaded buildings. Households in the town hand-paint fans, earning it the title 'Hometown of Chinese Painted Fans.' Visitors can watch the fan-making process and buy fans. Market days fall on the second, fifth, and eighth days of the lunar month, when the market is especially lively. Entry is free, and the visit takes about 1 to 2 hours. A bus from Yangshuo town takes about 20 minutes, or you can cycle downriver along the Li River.
