The free Viewpoint above Xingping just on the edge of a Li river river bend. You can see a lot of Karst peaks of the surrounding area. Good way to escape the massive chinese tourist crowds.

Photography Tips

Keep in mind that converting to black and white might be the best option when it is hazy.
A wide angle panoramic of the Li River bend might be possible (bushes can obstruct the view).
Be there for dawn of you want the amazing mist for which the area is famous.

During the rainy season all the dust is washed out of the atmosphere which can give you clear view. I was there in december during the dry period. The haze in my image can give you an idea of how it is likely to be like in winter. Also during the rainy season the River will have much more water. I would suggest going during the end of the rainy season. Less rain, full riverbed, clear view.

Great photo and location! Do you have an idea what time of the year is the best to take photos of the Karst peaks?
