CHINA - NATURE

Zhuobi Peaks

Zhuobi Peak is located by the side of the Lijiang River in the southeast of Yangshuo Town. Rounded at the base and pointed at the top, the hill resembles an inverted writing brush. Its beautiful reflection seems dissolved in the green bamboo-flanked river. This is one of the best spots in Yangshuo to photograph sunrise.
