Recommendation of the most beautiful hiking route in Lijiang River

For many tourists, walking on the Lijiang River is a very attractive outdoor sport. Everyone wants to get in touch with nature, feel its magical charm and soak the fresh air of your soul. This is a list of hiking routes in Lijiang River.

The essence of Guilin landscape lies in Lijiang River hiking, one of the top ten hiking routes in China.

Lijiang Hiking Trail ranks 10th among the top ten classic hiking trails in China, and it is also the only hiking trail selected in the south (MacLehose Trail is inaccessible). This hiking route runs along the Lijiang River, with typical karst landform, numerous peaks and mountains, and good scenery.

However, times have changed, the scenery remains the same, and the hiking route is no longer the same. Today, we take you to the road of survival that has been tossed by tourism developers.

1, Lijiang hiking route

The complete Lijiang River hiking route starts from Daxu Ancient Town, passes through the lawn, then passes through the half ferry, reaches Di Yang Ferry, and stays in Di Yang for one night. The next day, it set out from Di Yang, passed the Lengshui Ferry, and finally reached Xingping Ancient Town. The whole journey is 54 kilometers. I have to cross the river several times on the way, but the cost of crossing the river is only two yuan.

Lijiang hiking line

Most people choose the second half of the hiking route, that is, 20 kilometers from Di Yang Pier to Xingping. It only takes one day, and this section is also the best part of the Lijiang River.

2. Popular routes

Later, due to the control of the Tourism Bureau, villagers were forbidden to work at several ferries, leaving only the Lengshui Ferry. Offenders turn in their boats and visit the boats of travel companies that can only take the Lijiang River. So far, the first half of the Lijiang hiking route has been basically abandoned, and the Di Yang Pier at the beginning of the second half can't cross the river, so the second half has no starting point.

3, decapitated hiking

Later, according to the terrain, the donkey friends gave the second half a new starting point (Daqiaotou Village), so that the hiking route of the Lijiang River in the second half could be continued.

4. New hiking routes

This is the evolution of the Lijiang River hiking route.

5. How to get there?

First of all, it takes 6-8 hours to walk 20 kilometers. It is recommended to leave in the morning.

Take the downtown bus stop and go to Guilin South Bus Station (1-2 yuan, Guilin bus does not support boarding codes, and the only small program that supports code scanning needs to be recharged without refund. It is recommended to bring more loose money.

Then buy a ticket to Di Yang Pier (17 3 yuan). Pay attention to the departure times of 7: 30, 8: 30, 9: 30, 10: 30, 12: 30. There is no train in the afternoon. Remember to tell the driver to get off at Daqiaotou Village when getting on the bus.

ticket

Of course, you can also scan this QR code to buy in advance.

If the time is unfortunate, you can also go to Yangshuo by car, so the frequency is very dense, every few minutes. Get off at Yangti intersection (10 yuan) and go to 20 yuan and Daqiaotou village in normal times (there may be no soliciting in off-season).

If the money is not bad, it can fall directly on the bridge in the city.

6. the starting point of hiking

It takes about 1.5 hours to get to Daqiaotou Village. Drivers will stop at the fork in Daqiaotou Village (occasionally stop at the fork in the ridge not far ahead, but eventually they will converge). After getting off, walk along the cement road on the right, turn left at the end and continue walking.

Most of them take the cement road, and there will be a stream on the side of the road after turning.

Go along this road until you reach a dense forest. After settling down, we reached the foot of the mountain. Here, you must pay attention to the trees on both sides. Don't go forward when you see the icon in the tree on the right. It's over. I tried. At this time, the corresponding stone on the left has been marked by the donkey friend. Climb up from the stone on the left.

Weeds grow on both sides of the wild road, but there is at least one road. If you cross this small mountain pass, you can see Shenbi Peak and another mountain in the distance.

It must be noted that there will be a Y-shaped fork in the road.

That's the point.

On the left is a shortcut to the Lijiang River, but you need to cross a waterfall with some dangerous walls. Even if it doesn't rain, it's hard to climb over, which requires some outdoor experience. If it's rainy season, don't go this way (PS: not only refers to the rain at that time, but also whether it rained before).

After climbing the waterfall, you can

To go to the right, you need to use a trekking stick or a wooden stick to open the way. Fortunately, this section of the road is not long, and it takes about ten minutes to walk. Please put on pants to avoid being bitten by snakes.

Bypassing Shenbi Peak, the Lijiang River is just below, and you will see a low door. This is used to pen sheep. You can open it by hand, but you must close it to prevent the sheep from being possessed and suddenly enlightened. Opposite is Shi Cun.

Look at the route from another angle

Centrifuge the island (Jiang Xinzhou), and then continue downhill to Lijiang River (there are many orange trees at the foot of the mountain).

Continue hiking along the lower reaches of Lijiang River. This section of the road is also a wild road, and a lot of bamboo is planted. It is these bamboos that make up the beautiful scenery of Lijiang River.

There is a small bridge leading to Jiang Xinzhou not far away. Not far ahead, a neat dam has been built on the shore. It feels good to walk along the dam.

It leads to Jiang Xinzhou (if you go to Jiang Xinzhou by hanging waterfall, you will land there).

I don't care about hiking and sun protection, so I always recommend my friends to bring fig leaf and ice sleeves. Physical sun protection is king. (It is said that I bought 9 packages of fig leaf 9 yuan on Tik Tok, but no one placed an order. It is not easy to earn 2 yuan.

Fake bamboo rafts coming and going on the Lijiang River shuttle between Xingping and Yangdick. The cruise ship shuttles between Mopanshan Pier and Yangshuo.

Family ferry

Soon we arrived at Quanjiazhou Ferry. At present, this kind of ferry can only be used by local residents, but not by tourists. Go up the stairs and walk along the cement road. This section of the road needs to pass through the village, not the shore. Villagers on the roadside can supply it. After Quanjiazhou Village, at the right turn of the road, a stone road will appear on the left.

intersection

Then go straight along the stone road, and you will walk along the river until you reach Jiu Ma Huashan. The scenery of this section of the road is very good. There is only one stone road ahead. There are no troubles of fork in the road, and there are basically no other tourists.

Oranges, which I saw only when I passed through Quanjiazhou, are for people who wear them backwards. The only thing that bothers me is the oil press used for those fake bamboo rafts on the Lijiang River, which smells terrible.

At that time, I was thinking, these villagers on the riverside are no longer in the scenic spot, and it is forbidden to ferry tourists. They didn't bring more benefits because of traveling, but they suffered from the noise of countless diesel engines every day. I wonder if the government has given subsidies.

Not far ahead, you will reach Jiuma Painting Mountain.

Jiuhuashan

Jiuhua Mountain is a famous scenic spot of Lijiang River. It is said that nine horses can be seen on the mountain wall. As a designer, I say it's too van Gogh.

Jiuhua Mountain Scenic Area needs to be seen from Lengshui Village on the other side. There are many inns and farmhouses in Lengshui Village.

Farm accommodation; Farm?Stay；Agritainment?

Here, you can walk along the road to Lengshui Ferry. But it is recommended to walk along the shore. The scenery on the shore is good. After visiting Jiuma Painting Mountain, there is a wading stone road on the right to go back and build roads. Not far from Lengshui Ferry.

Need to cross the river 15 yuan. Yes, you heard me right. Two dollars became 15 yuan. It's important to ride a battery car across the river 15 yuan (people and cars, going back and forth between 60 yuan and Guilin Tourism Bureau, don't you feel pain? )

Crossing the river is a developed area, and the number of tourists will soar. Most of them use sightseeing bus or fake bamboo rafts to punch cards here in Xingping Ancient Town, 5 kilometers away from Xingping Town.

Keep walking along the river path. This section of scenery is called the essence of Lijiang River. You can see Xianggong Mountain on the other side not far away.

PS: Actually, Xianggong Mountain is a hill. Tickets to 60 yuan. Personally, I think the maximum value is 15 yuan. In Xingping ancient town, you can visit 100 yuan (including 60 tickets), or rent a battery car, take a ferry from Xingping ancient town to the other side, and then take a folk path.

Xianggong Mountain perspective

Go to the end of the road and look back. The reflection of the 20-person Yellow Waterfall in the RMB background is here. When we arrived in Xingping, it was almost sunset.

Then go to the side of the road and move on. There are large and small scenic spots in this section of the road. 20 yuan promotes scenic spots in the background, but the real scenic spots need to be collected in 30 yuan. In fact, the imaging effect is similar, so there is no need to spend this money.

I took it.

Dingshan Laozhai Mountain

So much for hiking on the Lijiang River. You can write privately if you have any questions. I hope it works for you.

Matters needing attention

Remember to wear trousers in case you meet a snake.

The last panorama of Guilin.

The complete hiking route of Lijiang River starts from Daxu Ancient Town, crosses the lawn, and then crosses half the distance to reach Di Yang Pier. After a night's rest in Di Yang, the next day I set out from Di Yang, crossed the icy sea and finally arrived at Xingping Ancient Town. The whole journey is 54 kilometers. I have to cross the river several times on the way, but the cost of crossing the river is only two yuan.
