General presentation
Hezhou et Huangyao
Old town, karst mountains and Yao villages occupy the northeast of Guangxi near Hunan and Guangdong.
To understand what Hezhou and Huangyao are, you must look at the Old Town of Huangyao, Mount Gupo and Village of Xiushui. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, heritage, mountain reliefs and the countryside and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Vieille ville de Huangyao
Stone alleys, temples and houses Ming and Qing border a stream under the karst pitons. Collections and remains take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; a visit made helps to understand their regional historical context.
Place indismissible
Mont Gupo
Forests, waterfalls and tea plantations cover a massif north of Hezhou. Distances, weather and access conditions must be checked prior to departure; water, adapted footwear and hourly margin remain useful outside cities.
Village
Village de Xiushui
Ancient houses and ancestral halls illustrate the countryside of the north-east of Guangxi. An early-day visit allows you to better observe local usages and the details of the place, while avoiding some of the groups and traffic.
