Xianggong Mountain is situated on the west bank of the Lijiang River, nestled between Huangbu Shoal and Nine-Horse Mural Hill. Climbing the mountain offers a panoramic view of the Lijiang River meandering through numerous peaks.

Ethnic tribes and minorities from northern Guangxi showcase their traditional customs and culture here.
