Xingping Ancient Town is located at the northeast part of Yangshuo County, Guilin city, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. With water in the front and hills at the back, the town boasts beautiful landscapes. The pink walls, black tiles, and stone-paved lanes form a beautiful painting along the Lijiang River. There are many historical relics and sites in this little town which are found concentrated in an ancient street and in the fishing village in the town. With a history of nearly 500 years, the fishing village has 48 well-preserved traditional residences which typically represent the architectural style of northern Guangxi during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911). They have horse head walls, flying eaves, painted rafters and windows with carved patterns. [China.org.cn]
