Transportation🚗: It is recommended to take the high-speed train directly to Yangshuo, and note that the highlights of Guilin are mostly concentrated in Yangshuo. During the peak season, purchase round-trip tickets at least one week in advance to avoid competing with the 'special forces' of college students. For short-distance travel in between, if you can't get a taxi, you need to bargain with motorcycle taxis and private cars to avoid being overcharged. Accommodation🏠: It is recommended to stay in a riverside hotel on West Street by the Li River, where opening the curtains allows you to be greeted by mountains, with the Li River also within close reach, immersing oneself in nature. If you need to take night scene photos, staying in Xingping is even better. Routes/Check-in Spots💞: After exiting Yangshuo high-speed train station, turn left to the bus station and take a 5 yuan bus to Xingping Ancient Town; search for Wangwang Food Fish Restaurant on Baidu, and go down the steps opposite to experience the Li River landscape that appears on the 20 yuan note during the day. Those who come to Guilin for the first time will definitely be shocked, as if they are in the beautiful scenery from textbooks. After viewing the daytime scenery of the 20 yuan note background, search for Xingping Wharf on Baidu, take a ferry to the opposite wharf, casually find a private motorcycle or sightseeing car, and travel about 10 kilometers up the mountain to reach Xianggong Mountain Scenic Area (entrance ticket 60 yuan). It takes about 15-20 minutes to climb to the viewing platform to appreciate the essence of the Li River and the big bend ❗❗❗This place is a must-visit Return to Xingping from the wharf, go back to the 20 yuan check-in spot (Wangwang Food Fish Restaurant), and take photos of the Li River landscape around 6:20 pm, spending 20 yuan to take a photo with an old man on a bamboo raft, which is very wonderful! If you stay in Xingping, you can come back to take photos of the Li River night scene after 8 pm; if you stay on West Street, you need to get to Xingping bus station before 7 pm and take a 15 yuan bus to Yangshuo County. The next day, starting from West Street, you can rent an electric bike to ride through the Ten-Mile Gallery. Here are two recommended check-in spots—the big bridge at the Comprehensive Wharf and the dam near Jimah Wharf (navigate to Shuangliu Yiduting). If you can get up early (before 8 am), you can also go queue up to take a bamboo raft

The Li River in Guilin, a picturesque gallery for ten miles, is like a poem and a painting. I recently came to the Li River in Guilin, strolled in the ten-mile gallery, appreciated the beauty of the southern landscape, and felt the poetic and romantic feelings. Li River Scenery: Starting from Yangshuo, taking a cruise ship, touring the Li River, the strange peaks and rocks, cliffs, clear and green waves, distant mountains and near water along the way, make me dazzled. Historical Culture: There are also many cultural attractions along the Li River, such as Huangbu Reflection, Yunfeng Gate, Impression Liu Sanjie, these attractions are unique and have a deep historical and cultural heritage. Natural Scenery: On the Li River cruise ship, in addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, you can also see a large number of wild animals and plants. There are rare sika deer, egrets, mandarin ducks, and unique caves, such as Huanggu Mountain Cave, Jiuma Painting Mountain Cave.

Yangshuo is beautiful, but I won't come next time. I went to Guilin for two days and three nights, mainly staying in Yangshuo. Honestly, the landscape of Guilin is indeed beautiful, but I won't go there a second time. Must-visit spots: 1⃣️ Xingping Li River in Guilin (the background of the 20 yuan note), best visited in the evening. Didn't take photos on the bamboo raft, it seems to be 20 yuan for a minute or 10 minutes, too expensive so I didn't do it; took unlimited time photos for 10 yuan near West Street! 2⃣️ On the way, visited Laozhai Mountain, which is near Xingping Ancient Town. The road is really wild, and parts of it are steep and dangerous. We went there after it rained that day, danger level +++ Suggest that those who are not hiking enthusiasts choose Husband Mountain instead, the view from the top is indeed nice, but didn't catch a beautiful sunset. 3⃣️ For bamboo rafting, definitely start from Jimah Dock, fewer people and no waiting. Snagged tickets for 9 am, almost no one was queuing at the scene, and it wasn't very hot either Yangshuo delicacies: Sour stuff, duck feet pot, Guilin rice noodles, and snail noodles, basically had these, didn't try beer fish (really not interested) ❌ Rented an electric scooter to go to the Ten-Mile Gallery, but there were too many people and cars, and it was really extremely hot, got tanned a lot. Outfit: Suggest focusing on comfortable, bright-colored clothing, and do a good job with sun protection The scenery here is so beautiful with clear mountains and waters. Definitely a must-visit!!! Li River Scenic Area

♥️ Guilin's landscape is a general term for Guilin's tourism resources. Guilin's landscape is representative of Chinese landscapes, famous worldwide, a national 5A-level tourist attraction, one of China's top ten scenic spots, and has enjoyed the reputation of 'Guilin's landscape tops those elsewhere' for thousands of years. ♥️ About three hundred million years ago, Guilin was originally a vast ocean. Due to the movement of the earth's crust and the rise of the limestone deposited by the sea to become land, after weathering and erosion, the now colorful and fairy-like karst peaks, the deep and magnificent caves, and the continuous underground rivers were formed. The mountains here rise straight from the ground, in various shapes; the water of the Li River is winding and clear as a mirror; the mountains have many caves with deep and peculiar scenery; the strange rocks in the caves are like the work of gods, dazzling to the eyes, thus forming the 'Four Wonders of Guilin' - 'green mountains, beautiful waters, peculiar caves, and beautiful rocks', and the reputation of 'Guilin's landscape tops those elsewhere' slowly spread by word of mouth. However, it was not until the Qing Dynasty that literati began to quote it in their poetry. For example, Jin Wuxiang mentioned 'Guilin's landscape tops those elsewhere' in his poem 'Touring the Mountains and Rocks of Guilin'. ♥️ When landscapes meet, there is always the Li River. Boating on the green waves, one travels as if in a painting. Climbing to the top of Ruyi Peak, all wishes come true. The sky is blue like misty rain, and I am waiting for you. Seeds of osmanthus for thousands of years, planted on earth when the moon falls. Fragrant throughout the seasons, Guilin's number one weaver. ♥️ Guilin's eternal love is even more delightful than imagined, suitable for all ages to understand. After watching the eternal love show, you can taste the local delicacies and experience the local customs and culture on Yangshuo West Street. In summary, the eternal love show and Ruyi Peak in Yangshuo are two must-visit attractions. These attractions each have their own characteristics and are good ways to experience the natural scenery and cultural atmosphere of Yangshuo. Welcome everyone to check in at Yangshuo! ♥️ Measure the world with your feet, record the scenery with your eyes.
