Things to do in Yunan

It was really a great day! We went for the afternoon and were tired but it was so worth it. As foreigners travelling to china, it really is easy to get to places like this attraction. Jumped in a didi to get there, used Alipay , used Alipay to scan and pay for snacks there. All fairly simple. One thing I'll say is that even if you don't normally like zoos or aquariums, this is a lot bigger than you'd expect. More space than one would think there would be for the animals. We didn't watch the animal shows, that wasn't our cup of tea, but we enjoyed viewing a 5D show towards the end of the day, and saw two parades. China doesn't do things by halves. Ladies just keep in mind you will unlikely find a western style toilet. We only spotted squattys.

For families with children, it's definitely worth a visit! Visiting the entire park in one day would be very rushed and tiring, leaving your knees sore. For a better experience, I recommend two days and one night. The park has a wide variety of animals, and the cable car and miniature train are quite unique; children had a great time. The staff are very friendly, patiently answering questions and engaging in friendly interactions. If I had to complain, firstly, the food prices inside the park are relatively high (although the Chinese food was okay); secondly, the smell was too pungent when the miniature train passed the bird area (I wonder how this can be improved); and thirdly, the prices in the interactive areas are also quite expensive (for example, feeding the giraffes costs 36 yuan for a single branch!!!). Overall, I highly recommend it for families with children!

Truly an international extravaganza. Acrobats, performers, animals were fantastic.diverse performers and interesting segments made the whole experience enjoyable. Splurge for the closer seats.

The incense is very popular. This is the first time I have seen such a large incense coil. I like the smell of incense in the temple! Ringing the bell and beating the drum are free. The staff at the ticket gate will help keep the luggage. It is very suitable to bring parents around. ...

When visiting Guilin, a must-see is Elephant Trunk Hill, the city's iconic landmark. It truly lives up to its reputation as the face of Guilin's landscape; only by seeing it in person can one truly appreciate the wonders of nature. The entire mountain sits on the banks of the Li River, resembling a giant elephant bowing to drink from the water. The Water Moon Cave cuts through the mountain, its reflection shimmering in the water, creating the famous Elephant Trunk Hill and Water Moon spectacle—a flowing ink painting. The scenic area is clean and comfortable, with walking paths built along the Li River, shaded by lush trees, making for a delightful stroll. You can climb the mountain for panoramic views of Guilin, or find classic vantage points along the riverbank to capture stunning, atmospheric photos. Boat trips are also available, offering a different and breathtaking perspective of Elephant Trunk Hill from the river. The scenic area is conveniently located in the city center, with excellent transportation and comprehensive facilities. Every step reveals a new vista, allowing you to truly experience the unparalleled beauty of Guilin's landscape. Don't miss it when traveling to Guilin; it's definitely worth a visit.

The overall scenery is average, and admission is free for locals. Entering from the north gate reveals the newly built Dragon Mother Temple. It's recommended to enter from the southwest gate to see the old temple, which is more popular with worshippers. The path to the Dragon Mother statue is entirely up to steps, which might be a bit strenuous for those with mobility issues; if you walk quickly, you can complete the tour in about an hour.

Definitely a must see and would recommend the bubble tram ❤️

Grea cruise, even though the weather wasn’t the best the scenery was incredible. And the tea served on board was a great addition. The staff went out of their way to point out attractions to tourists.

The Jingjiang Prince's Palace in Guilin, Guangxi, was once the royal city of Zhu Shouqian, the Prince of Jingjiang. Climbing to the top of Duxiu Peak, known as the "Pillar of the South," one can overlook the entire city of Guilin. Below the peak are numerous cliff carvings, including the original inscription "Guilin's scenery is the best under heaven."

Seeing the world through a walk in the park has never been more exciting!
