Huangyao Ancient Town, with a history of more than 1000 years, is situated in the northeast of Zhaoping, Guangxi, by the lower reaches of Li River and 200km from Guilin. It has long been known as a mini-Guilin for its typical developments of Karst topography, covering an area of 3.6 square kilometers.

 

The town is most famous for its mountains with caves, pavilions, temples, ancestor halls, old trees and tablets. Almost every corner of the town presents a typically Chinese scene and presents a marvelous photo opportunity. Huangyao was built in 927 BC and was a flourishing and wealthy town then.
