Dear friends, the scenery of Guilin Yangshuo truly grows on your aesthetic sense. Sitting on a bamboo raft drifting on the clear water, with layers of karst peaks on both sides, every snapshot looks like a wallpaper-worthy scene. This is the right way to experience Guilin! Transportation is super convenient. From downtown Guilin, take a bus directly to Yangshuo, which takes just over an hour. Once in Yangshuo, rent a small electric scooter; it’s easy to get to any pier without detours. For accommodation, I recommend staying along the Yulong River or in Xingping Ancient Town. Open your window to green mountains and clear water, and in the morning, you might catch mist swirling around the hills, creating an amazing atmosphere. On the Lijiang River, be sure to explore the essential Yangdi to Xingping section. Slowly float on a bamboo raft as the Nine Horses Painting Hill and Yellow Cloth Reflection come into view one after another. The background of the 20 RMB note is right before your eyes. The water sparkles, and the mountain reflections in the water make you feel like you’ve stepped into a moving ink painting. For the Yulong River, choose the Jinlong Bridge to Jiuxian section with handmade bamboo rafts. The entire trip is manually propelled with no motor noise. There are nine small rapids, with gentle splashes that are super soothing. Ancient bridges and rice fields accompany you along the way. Slow down and feel the gentle charm of the landscape—who wouldn’t be moved? Don’t miss the local delicacies like Yangshuo beer fish, stuffed snails, and authentic Guilin rice noodles. The flavors from street-side shops are even better than those from popular restaurants—fresh, fragrant, and perfect with rice. Do you usually prefer noodles or fish? Important tip to avoid pitfalls! Always book your bamboo raft in advance through Trip.com or the official WeChat account. Don’t trust roadside scalpers or unofficial guides—they often overcharge and offer no guarantees. Bring a waterproof phone pouch, wear non-slip sandals, and apply sunscreen. Don’t stand recklessly when going through rapids for safety and better photos. Save this bamboo raft guide, pick a good day, and head to Yangshuo to throw all your worries into the green mountains and clear waters! If you have any questions about your trip, ask me in the comments~

If you think Yangshuo isn’t beautiful enough... then you definitely haven’t been to Xianggong Mountain! This is the perfect vantage point overlooking the First Bend of the Li River and a visual icon of Guilin’s world-renowned landscape. Core Scenery: The winding Li River in the scene meanders through the karst peak forest in a gentle S-shaped curve. The river surface looks like a jade-green silk ribbon, linking the verdant mountains and pastoral villages on both banks. This is the signature view of Xianggong Mountain. · In the early morning and evening, sunlight slants onto the mountain peaks, bathing the karst forest in a warm golden hue. The river sparkles with shimmering light, creating a rich layering effect. · Different weather conditions offer unique charms: clear days are transparent and expansive, while foggy days resemble ink wash paintings, with clouds swirling among the mountains, full of ethereal beauty. Karst Peak Forest The continuous conical karst peaks stack toward the distance, showing a gradient from deep green to light gray from near to far, creating a sense of depth with varying heights and distances, perfectly echoing the poetic description of mountains like jade hairpins. · The steep rocky cliffs in the foreground contrast with the rounded peaks in the midground, adding tension to the scene. · The distant mountains appear faintly through the mist, evoking a vast realm of mountains beyond mountains. Pastoral Fields and Villages At the foot of the mountains, villages, farmland, and bamboo groves are scattered. White-walled, gray-tiled houses nestle in the greenery, forming a vivid pastoral landscape with the Li River and mountains, showcasing the harmonious lifestyle of Yangshuo people living with nature. The lines of the fields and textures of the bamboo add soft details to the rugged peak forest. Viewing Platform Perspective The viewing platform with railings is a popular photo spot. Standing here, you can take in the full view of the First Bend of the Li River. It’s a classic spot for capturing photos that make you feel like you’re wandering inside a painting. 📸 Photo Tips Summary Lighting: Prefer early morning (1 hour after sunrise) or evening (2 hours before sunset). Soft side light highlights mountain contours and river reflections, avoiding overexposure from harsh midday light. · Viewing Platform: Use the railing as a foreground element to frame people with the landscape, creating a story of climbing high and looking far. · Outfit: Light-colored, simple styles (such as white dresses or linen sets) harmonize with the green mountains and water, enhancing the ethereal and relaxed vibe. 📌 Practical Information Address: Xianggong Mountain Scenic Area, Xingping Town, Yangshuo County, Guilin, Guangxi. Recommended to climb in the early morning for sunrise or in the evening for sunset. · Suggested visit time: Allow 1-2 hours. After reaching the summit, you can shoot from different viewing platforms at various angles. On the way down, you can also experience bamboo rafting on the Li River. · Seasons: Spring and summer are lush and green; autumn and winter bring mist and clouds, each with its own charm.

🌿 Xiaoshi Mountain Residence|I rented three days of spring in the tea fields of southern Shaanxi 🍃 At the moment I opened the window, mountain mist was drifting over the window frame. It turns out "spring harmony and bright scenery" is not an idiom, but the real scene flowing before my eyes—25 rooms, 25 picture frames, capturing all four seasons within the glass windows. The room I stayed in has a viewing terrace; the 70㎡ space is large enough to dance in, and the entire floor-to-ceiling window is like a huge amber, freezing the entire tea mountain in my sight. Lying in bed watching the clouds drift by, sitting on the terrace listening to birdsong. Close the door, and the world is left only with the sound of mountain wind turning pages. 🏊 Swim into the sea of clouds, sleep under the starry sky The infinity pool on the mountaintop is a stroke of genius. The moment my body immersed in the water, I couldn’t tell if I was swimming or the clouds were swimming. In the evening, go to the camping base to claim a spot, wait for the sky to darken, and the light from the starry sky cinema shines on the screen, making even breathing slow down. When brewing tea around the fire, sparks crackle, the aroma of barbecue on the lawn drifts into the night, and amidst the sound of the outdoor movie film rolling, suddenly I feel—time can be this slow. Families with kids can have fun on the ball court, girlfriends can chat in the book bar, couples have private hot springs on the terrace. This place is like a universal puzzle piece, fitting travelers of all kinds. 🌸 Tea Picking Diary|Wear spring on your hand The tea fields around Qingming Festival are a sea of tender green. Change into a white dress, borrow a straw hat, and pinch off the tenderest buds at your fingertips—it turns out "tea picking" is not labor, but a ritual of harvesting spring. The housekeeper said the rhododendron sea here is in full bloom; standing anywhere in the flowers, the camera becomes a Japanese-style movie viewfinder. There are letters from all four seasons: spring tea picking, summer stargazing, autumn tea brewing, winter snow viewing. And I just happened to receive the gentlest one. 📸 My secret photo spots ▫️ In front of the 180° floor-to-ceiling window—framing the tea mountain and myself ▫️ By the mountaintop pool—capturing the loneliness of "swimming toward the mountains and sea" ▫️ Terrace lounge chair—at 6 a.m., the sea of clouds surges, worth setting an alarm for ▫️ Guoxin Study Room—pages and tea smoke, art is the highest-level filter 🍲 Mountain Wild Dining Table|The tongue recognizes hometown first When the native chicken soup was served, the aroma first drew tears. Not sadness, but a kind of emotion struck by food—fresh, so fresh, fresh like the taste on grandma’s stove when I was a child. Even the stir-fried greens carry the sweetness of mountain spring water. The restaurant faces the valley, every bite accompanied by the scenery. ⛰️ Nearby Wandering|Fairyland intensity overload 50 minutes to Hualong Mountain, 50 minutes to Tianshu Gorge, 40 minutes to Yaowang Mountain. It’s recommended to stay 3 days and 2 nights to watch the "fairyland" frame by frame in slow motion. Huanglongtan Park is even closer, just 30 minutes to reach another patch of greenery. 💡 Some honest tips ✅ Big temperature difference between day and night in the mountains, a light jacket is a lifesaver ✅ The starry sky on the terrace must be seen!! The Milky Way is so clear it looks fake 🌌 ✅ 24-hour butler service is available anytime, but the mountain’s tranquility is even more addictive ✅ Pets cannot come along for now 🐶 · -- When leaving, the mist over the tea fields had not yet dispersed. Suddenly I understood why the ancients wanted to "retreat to the mountains and forests"—not to escape, but to find. To find the luxury of seeing mountains when opening the window, to find mornings awakened by birdsong, to find the original taste of food, to find oneself. Before this place becomes a popular check-in spot, come rent a few days of spring. After all, some scenery must be waited for; some springs must be seized. · --
