Xingping Ancient Town
CN 广西壮族自治区 桂林市, WG8G+JH9阳朔县兴坪 China, 541906
Riverside fishing town of Ming and Qing lanes, cormorant fishermen, and the karst view on China's twenty-yuan note.
This guide to Xingping Ancient Town traces why locals call it the president's fishing village, following Bill Clinton's 1998 stop here and Sun Yat-sen's passage decades earlier through the same riverside lanes. It follows the town back some seventeen hundred years to its founding as a county seat, and to the old cormorant-fishing method still practiced on the Li River. Best heard by the waterfront, watching for a bamboo raft drifting past with a bird on its bow.
