With a history stretching back to 265 AD, before Yangshuo developed Xingping was the largest town on that section of the Li River. Its one kilometer-long stone paved main street was lined with older brick buildings and halls featuring horsehead walls, flying eaves, painted rafters and windows with carved patterns.

As I started cycling, even within the village rural scenes encroached. Rice was spread out to dry along the street up from the river. For hours I meandered through some of the finest agricultural countryside I could imagine. With a panoramic backdrop of stunning karst topography I cycled, stopping every five minutes to capture countless images from that moment in time.
