Fuli town is an ancient town near Yangshuo. It has a history of more than 1000 years. This town is surrounded on three sides by mountain and one side by the Li River.

Fuli is the dock of the Li River. In ancient times, there were no highroads and railroads, so the Li River is the only way to communicate the Yangtze River and the Pearl River. Due to the convenient transportation, more and more people settled here.
