Beautiful Li River

Yangdi Village is located on the west bank of Li River, about 46 km (48.6 miles) from Guilin. Behind the village lies a hill consisting two peaks, which look like two hoofs (yang ti in Chinese pinyin) of a sheep hanging upside down-hence the name Yangdi Village which is alike in sound with yangti.

There is also a beautiful story about the village. Legend has it that a daughter of the Jade Emperor (leader of all gods in Chinese legends) came to Yangdi Village to look for her pet goat. The pretty fairy girl was deeply attracted by the melodious flute played by a young man standing in the moonlight and so she never returned to heaven. Her goat turned into part of the landscape with two of its hoofs being seen in the shape of two peaks.

The elegant mountains, winding water, delicate beach, striking waterfall, dense green bamboos and dotted villages form a beautiful landscape painting. You will feel that you are in the Xanadu. The eye-catching scenery around here includes the waterfall in Shuilian (water curtain) Cave, Yangjiao (ram's horn) Hill, Moonlight Island Holiday Resort, Carp Wall, Bride Hill and Mandarin Duck Beach.

Yangdi Village is an ideal place to enjoy the misty rain of Li River. The village in the rain seems to be a wonderland, quiet, peaceful and mysterious.

During the low-flow period in winter, Yangdi Village becomes the starting point of the Li River Cruise. You may be surprised how excited and noisy visitors become in the perfect harmony of the river with the peaceful land.
