China Yao mountain sunset view lookout

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
This sunset lookout is situated at the summit of Yao Mountain, which with an elevation of 900 meters above the sea level, is considered the highest mountain within the Guilin city center and its suburbs. Once reached there, you can overlook the whole Guilin city from there. It's the best view lookout if you desire to appreciate the fabulous sunset, sunset glow, as well as the Guilin city night scene. So far, this view lookout is run by a private unit. The owner charges 10CNY each person for the entry fee.

Photography Tips

It's a nice spot to take some sunset photos as well as the city's nightfall scene. I recommend bringing the tripod for taking long exposure photographs when it's getting dark.
