　　The Xiangqiao Scenic Area in Luzhai is located in the northeastern part of central Guangxi, within Luzhai County. It is 28 kilometers from the county seat of Luzhai and 72 kilometers from Liuzhou City. The scenic area, with Xiangqiao Rock as its central attraction, features over ten scenic spots including “Fairyland of Xiangqiao,” “Ancient Banyan at the Old Town,” “Misty Rain over Ximei,” “Golden Roc Spreading Its Wings,” “Bronze Basin Stone Carvings,” “Waterfall and Emerald Layers,” “Xiangshui–Stone Forest,” “Cave of the Green Lion,” “Moon Mountain,” “Qin People’s Cave,” “Peach Blossom Pool,” “Cocoon Cave,” “Summer Resort,” “Labyrinth,” “Nine Dragons Cave,” and “Gate to the South Sky.” The area boasts picturesque landscapes, charming scenery, an elegant environment, and unique views that captivate visitors. Tourism experts have praised it as a wonderful destination that combines the beauty of Guilin’s landscape, the charm of the Li River, the splendor of Jiuzhaigou, the stone forests of Yunnan, and the ruggedness of Huangshan.

　　Xiangqiao is a natural wonder, a masterpiece of nature rarely seen in the world, and many domestic and international tourists have called it “the finest in China,” “a marvel of Lingnan,” and “a true paradise on earth.” Ancient poets once wrote: “Within Xiangqiao Cave dwells the divine; upon arrival, one wonders if this cave holds the heavens. Only the wild explore leisurely atop the bridge, while fishing boats drift along the riverside. The inverted peaches hang eternal, stone paths entwined with vines hang from all sides, woodcutters grow weary climbing the hills, yet return to sleep within the bamboo grove.” Today, poets continue to praise it with lines such as: “Xiangqiao’s fame echoes through ancient and modern times, drawing countless travelers in search of its caves. Nature’s artistry carves these wonders, Xu Xiake must regret missing this chance.” The river that flows through Xiangqiao is an underground river, with the river valley appearing and disappearing, the water sometimes rushing through deep gorges and at other times hidden among towering mountains. The riverside scenery also includes attractions such as “Ancient Banyan,” “Summer Resort,” “Labyrinth,” and “Stone Forest.”

　　Xiangqiao is a massive natural stone bridge lying atop the peaks of the high mountains on both sides of the canyon. The “bridge arch” is 35 meters high, 40 meters wide, and the bridge itself is 10 meters thick, presenting a majestic and spectacular sight. Beneath the “bridge,” the rapids are fierce, with surging waves and thundering sounds echoing through the valley, accompanied by cool breezes. Below the stone bridge, there is also an artificial winding bridge. Walking across it, you feel the splashing waves beneath your feet and the beams above your head as if holding up the sky, offering a delightful experience as if immersed in a painting of nature. To reach Xiangqiao, you must pass through the “Moon Gate,” go through the “Qin People’s Cave,” and follow the winding path along the “Peach Blossom Stream” to arrive at the secluded forest. The entire attraction is a natural wonder, a masterpiece of nature rarely seen in the world, and many domestic and international tourists have called it “the finest in China,” “a marvel of Lingnan,” and “a true paradise on earth.” Ancient poets once wrote: “Within Xiangqiao Cave dwells the divine; upon arrival, one wonders if this cave holds the heavens.
