Xingping is a hidden gem with unique local experiences.

📅 Back in 2017, Xingping was a small town where electronic payments were not yet popular, and only cash was accepted in the shops along the streets. Now, the town is thriving. Walking along the ancient town's cobblestone streets, you can still see traces of the old streets and alleys in the wooden doors, flower windows, flying eaves, and steep cliffs. 🏞 This place is like a flowing landscape painting, and the Hilton Garden Inn Tengsheng is a paradise in the painting. 🏨🌿 · As the top international luxury brand in the ancient town, it is backed by green mountains⛰ and the Li River🐎. It is a large area worth spending half a day to experience. The colorful activities of intangible cultural heritage handicrafts and ethnic travel photography in the hotel add to the cultural heritage. · The infinity pool in the public area is cleverly divided into several functional areas, allowing you to enjoy the tranquility in the rippling water with the reflection of the green mountains; the introduction of high-end camping brands makes you want to forget your worries and lie down at any time, watching movies in the mountains with the sound of insects and starlight; when you climb to the observation deck on the third floor, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the 20-yuan RMB background. · 🛋 The room design incorporates modern aesthetics, with soft and comfortable bedding, exquisite hardware and bathroom facilities, and professional hand-brewed coffee equipment on the balcony. · 🍽 Don't miss the hotel's gourmet feast! Breakfast ranges from Guilin rice noodles and Gongcheng oil tea to Western flavors, satisfying the taste buds of different diners. 🍜🍴 · Xingping is not just a transit station, it is worth your time to stop and experience it.
