Xianggong Hill
相公山
The most famous sunrise viewpoint on the Li River. From the summit you look down on the great bend of the river and layers of karst peaks, earning it the nickname "the Li River's No. 1 Mountain" among photographers.
Xianggong Hill lies on the western bank of the Li River, about 8 kilometers northwest of Xingping Town. The summit viewing platform overlooks the river's 270-degree great bend, where morning mist, fishing boats and rows of karst peaks stack up in layers. Photography circles call it "the most beautiful sunrise spot on the Li River." The climb from the parking area to the top takes about 15–20 minutes, and the steps are fairly steep. Admission is about 60 yuan, and the hill opens about one hour before sunrise. Reach it by chartered car or self-drive from Xingping (about 20 minutes). It is best to stay overnight in Xingping the night before. On rainy or overcast days the views are limited.
Opening hours
About 1 hour before sunrise to 18:00
