Langshi Village
浪石
An ancient village where the Li River's 'Misty Rain at Langshi' is found. Huge boulders in the river resemble rolling waves, and the village has Qing-era houses. It can be reached on foot or by bamboo raft.
Langshi Village lies on the east bank of the Li River between Yangdi and Xingping. It takes its name from the huge boulders arranged on the riverbank, which look like tumbling waves. 'Misty Rain at Langshi' is one of the Li River's most famous views, when distant mountains appear and vanish through the rain and mist. The village preserves a group of Qing-era grey-brick houses, an ancient wharf, and bamboo groves, and it receives far fewer visitors than Xingping. To see it, ride the Yangdi to Xingping bamboo raft, which passes by, or follow the hiking route along the east bank of the Li River (Yangdi to Langshi to Nine Horse Fresco Hill to Xingping, about 20 km in total, and you can walk just part of it). You can also stay overnight at a village guesthouse to see the river mist. Along the hiking route, you will need to take a ferry across the river several times, each costing about ten-odd yuan. Supplies along the route are limited, so bring your own drinking water.
