Finale per scalatori nella quarta tappa del Tour of Guangxi e a trionfare non poteva che essere un signor scalatore. Enric Mas (Deceuninck-QuickStep) riesce a conquistare l'arrivo di Nongla, riuscendo a stroncare la resistenza di Daniel Martinez (EF) negli ultimi 100 metri. Buon terzo posto per Diego Rosa (Team Ineos), che però si è mosso troppo tardi, non riuscendo a rientrare sui due corridori che poi si sono giocati la vittoria. Decimo posto per Davide Villella (Astana).Per Mas arriva ovviamente anche la maglia di leader della generale.

La tradizione va rispettata, così anche oggi la fuga è composta da tre corridori. Si rivede davanti Ryan Mullen (Trek-Segafredo) e con lui ci sono Hamish Schreurs (Israel Cycling Academy) e l'enfant du pays, nonché unico cinese in gara, Meiyin Wang (Bahrain-Merida).

Raggiunti i quattro minuti di vantaggio, il divario comincia pian piano a diminuire, con Bora-hansgrohe, EF Education  First e Astana a condurre l'inseguimento. Con il gruppo ancora compatto, i fuggitivi vengono raggiunti a 17 chilometri dall'arrivo.

Poco prima dell'imbocco della salita va per terra Nicola Conci (Trek-Segafredo), mentre la Deceuninck la prende forte con l'attacco di Remi Cavagna. Il francese viene ripreso a due chilometri dalla vetta, con il gruppo ridotto a 20 unità. A quel punto arriva il forcing prima di Daniel Martinez (EF) e poi di Antwan Tolhoek (Jumbo-Visma), che si portano dietro solamente Mas. Mentre dietro Rosa prova invano a rimontare, Mas piazza due accelerazioni che mandano in difficoltà prima Tolhoek e poi Martinez, andando così a prendersi la tappa.
