Xingping Fishing Village Guangxi

Miraculously untouched during the Sino-Japanese War and the Cultural Revolution, this 400-year-old village has friendly residents and vernacular houses similar to those at Xingping. The 1½-hour hike (one way) takes you through the scenic countryside among farmland, fruit orchards and stunning views; otherwise you can opt for one of the tourist ferries from Xingping (¥60) that stop off here.
