I know Guilin from a primary school textbook, and there is also an old song "I want to go to Guilin, I want to go to Guilin, but when I have money, I don't have time..." Originally, I only wanted to return after spending 3 days in Yangshuo. When I was doing the guide, I found that the Longji terraces were quite beautiful, so I went to Longji for another 2 days, a total of 6 days and 5 nights. Don't go out on National Day, leave for Guilin one week before the short holiday!

How to play Dragon's Back?

The main purpose of going to Longji is to see the terraces. Choosing a hotel is also very important, which directly determines the scope of activities you go to the terraces (especially for people like me who travel alone, don't know how to drive, and find it too expensive to rent a car). I chose Near No. 2 Landscape Field, I arrived at Longji Inn at night. Usually local food includes fried wild vegetables, fried dried fish, bamboo rice, etc. The next day I didn't check in many attractions, but slowed down and spent the whole day soaking in the nearby No. 2 Thousand Layer Terrace to feel the wind of the terraces.

How to play Yangshuo?

Yangshuo scenic spots are quite scattered, and it takes more than a week to visit all the scenic spots. This time I chose the Yulong River Scenic Area. The most amazing thing is the Yulong River. I ride along the river (a little farther on foot, cycling is recommended) Beautiful!!! Every step is between mountains and rivers, and every step you are surrounded by small hills of primitive nature. It will be more convenient to travel and play by riding a bicycle or electric donkey, so drive yourself from a long distance. I travel alone. I live in Yangshuo Jiuxian County. I ride a bicycle to the Yulong River and Shili Gallery every day. Or I take a bus from Jiuxian County to the Fuli Bridge (more than 600 years old stone bridge) Jinlong Bridge for sightseeing. I ride a bamboo raft from Jinlong Bridge Wharf and drift for about 90 minutes. I admire the pure mountains and rivers all the way to the Jiuxian Wharf. Regarding delicious food, Yangshuo's rice noodles are not very delicious, but small stir-fried dishes and beer fish are delicious! You can also drink a bottle of Liquan Beer, which is clear and sweet!

order

I have been to more than 20 countries. I remember Chen Danqing said when watching "Part","Going abroad is to see clearly the culture of one's country." It is time to have a good tour of the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. I planned to abandon the big cities and start from the soft and leisurely small town. I wanted to go to Xitang, Tongli, Hongcun, and Nanxun... Take your time. The first stop was Yangshuo, Guilin.

Arrive at Longji Homestay

I took an afternoon flight from Shanghai to Guilin. It was still raining in Pudong when I left.

When booking the ticket, I purchased a pick-up plane and went directly to Longji 2 hours after landing. The plane was still taxiing, and you could see the rolling hills outside the plane window.

Look at the words, the dragon's back, how domineering! Generally, everyone will go first to Yangshuo and then to Longji. It's nothing special and just want to see the terraces quickly. It took about an hour to drive from the airport to the ticket office of Longji Scenic Area.

Admission to the scenic spot is 80 yuan/person. Because the car is rented, the master will need 80 yuan to enter the scenic spot, and the car will need 40 yuan to enter the scenic spot, so the total is 200 yuan. It feels like being cheated. It is really not cost-effective to charter a car alone to Longji. It is more convenient to charter a car with three or five friends or sign up for a small group tour for a few days.

It took another hour to drive from the ticket office to the Longji Cableway Parking Lot. Unfortunately, the landlord didn't pick me up and called me to find a carpool in the parking lot. It was already very tired and it was dark. I pulled a box and found a carpool to enter the village. I chatted with a young brother and told him that he would rent a car to enter the village for 100 yuan/person, and the carpool was 30 yuan/person. A chill hit my heart. I said I would like to visit the country's great rivers and mountains. Why did I feel like there were pits everywhere and there were unknown expenses everywhere? I was a little jumpy at that time. The picture below records my helplessness while waiting for carpooling on the way.

Finally, after waiting in the dark for more than an hour, I finally got into the car with a young couple, and each entered the village at 30:30! Planes, cars, and pickup trucks traveled all the way from asphalt roads to dirt roads to finally reach the inn. The first thing to do was to provide food and clothing. Speaking of which, Longji is much colder than Yangshuo! The September sky and night are shaking!!!

Longji Jinkeng Thousand Layer Terrace

It was very dark last night and I couldn't see anything. I thought I was in a damn place. But when I woke up the next day, the beautiful scenery of the terraced fields still shocked me. I forgot the unhappiness of wasting a lot of time looking for a car to enter the village yesterday. Since I have arrived in Longji, I still have to put myself in a good mood and devote myself to traveling with a good mood of 120,000 yuan. After breakfast, I sat in the rocking chair on the balcony of the inn for a while, admired the terraces in front of me, and got up with my camera and went hiking.

The inn I stayed in is in Longji Tiantou Village, Jinkeng Terrace Scenic Area, very close to the No. 2 Observation Deck. Follow the road signs in the scenic area and you will be there in a short time.

Climbing up the rugged path, you will suddenly feel enlightened when you reach the terraced road. The entire vast terraced fields have a panoramic view. The weather is a little foggy in the early morning, but it still does not affect the appearance.

When visiting terraces, just follow the sightseeing trail and enjoy it directly along the road. Don't enter terraces with the "No Entry" sign without authorization. On the slopes of some terraces, you must pay attention to safety when visiting!

Coming to a smaller observation deck is also a good place to take photos with Yaozhai not far away.

It will be a little cold in the morning and evening in September, but the temperature is just right when the weather is bright during the day, and it will not be too hot when walking on the terraces.

The wind and the sun are beautiful, the green mountains are magnificent, and I feel in a good mood. When there are few people, I feel that the entire terraced fields are mine.

The terraces photographed with 200 pictures are an artistic creation of nature.

On the way to visit the terraces on foot, you can always see the scenic guide map to clarify your location. Generally, many people will call a guide to take them. You need to take a car to reach far places. I live nearby, so I visited the nearby No. 2 Scenic Terrace.

This photo records the mountain roads you have to walk on some sections of the road when visiting the terraces.

It is another village with dark willows and bright flowers. After crossing the mountain road, we arrive at another thousand-layer terraced fields. This is where Observation Deck No. 2 is located.

The top of the observation deck is a suspended building, and there are several floors of platforms for tourists to rest and view. Standing on each floor feels different.

You can go down to the terraces to visit, or you can climb to the highest observation deck and overlook the magnificent terraces from a commanding position.

I stopped for a while on the low-level viewing platform, and then climbed to the highest-level platform. The breeze on the high-level viewing pendant was pleasant.

Place the camera on the cylindrical fence and take a selfie every 5 seconds, with a little out of focus.

After leaving the observation deck, I asked an aunt next to me in the downhill corridor to take a photo for me. She said,"I can't use this camera." I said,"It's okay, just point the camera at me and press hard here. If you see me traveling alone, please take a picture for me." The aunt took the camera and took this picture for me.

The Longji Terrace is much quieter than I expected, and tourists are a good place to get close to nature in twos and threes.

In the face of the beautiful scenery, pay attention to safety!

No matter how the movie viewing changes on the way back, the terraced fields and the countryside are still so beautiful!

The terraces that grow like art are magnificent and green one after another. It was so beautiful that I couldn't bear to let it go, so I asked the young lady I met to take a photo for me, set the composition up, and told her that I would walk along the terraced fields. When I walked, I had trouble pressing the shutter hard. The picture showed that the adults were small, emphasizing that the terraced fields were very beautiful, and the young lady asked me to take the same photo for her.

Taking photos, being in a daze, and blowing in the wind, I wandered in the terraces all morning. Now I slowly return to the inn to have lunch and rest. In the afternoon, I had to gather all my strength to set up a tripod to find a place with fewer people to take a portrait of myself in a terraced sunset environment.

Watch a sunset belonging to terraces

I returned to the inn for lunch, drank a cup of coffee, and rested for a while at the inn. At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I changed into a white sunscreen suit specially prepared for the terraces and an idyllic embroidered grass basket, and carried a tripod and set out to find a shooting location. Not far away this time, there was no one on the terraces near the inn, and the light was very strong now. I put down the bag I was holding, unfolded the tripod, controlled the shutter with my mobile phone, and started taking a selfie! Please enjoy my pretentious performance!

I bought this bamboo basket embroidery bag for a year, and finally brought it out of the mountain!

The white suit was bought at tb, the straw basket was freepeple, and the cover straw hat was bought at Dmall, Boracay.

Use your mobile phone to control the shutter. Why can't you see your mobile phone in the photo? It's very simple. The phone controls the timing for 5 seconds, presses the shutter and puts the phone in the straw basket.

This picture can vividly show using a mobile phone to control a selfie!

If you want to make photos into magazines, you don't practice enough, so you try your best.

After taking pictures of the hills on this side, turn the tripod around, and the 180-degree back is a round of terraces nearby.

The setting sun is slanting, and the light and shadow are faint, which stirs the heartstrings.

After the shooting of the sunset terraces, my performance for today is over. I go back to the inn and have a belly hug! Oh, I'm done talking about it. The breakfast at the inn is Guilin rice noodles, but the rice noodles are not amazing at all (maybe this is because this house is not good at making them). The powder is soaked and will break when you sip your tongue. It is not a Q bomb at all. It is not comparable to Yunnan Xiaoguo rice noodles. The special bamboo rice was ordered because of its characteristics, but it was not delicious and had a strange taste. However, it is worth mentioning that the small stir-fried vegetables in Guilin are quite delicious. I fried some wild vegetables, and the freshness is delicious!

I will take a bus to Yangshuo tomorrow. The ticket was bought by the innkeeper at 70 yuan each. The departure times are 9 a.m., 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. I bought the 9 a.m. bus. I sat on the bus for a full four hours, and I started to get motion sickness after half an hour. I was extremely uncomfortable. There were a group of northeastern older sisters who were also traveling in the car. The older sister sitting next to me saw how uncomfortable I was. I asked her,"Do you have any plastic bags? I feel carsick and can't control it for fear of vomiting?" The older sister was very helpful and spoke a strong Northeastern dialect,"Girl, I need it from the driver." She stood up and asked for two red plastic bags for me, which were originally just carrying. But the moment I saw the red plastic bag, I suddenly couldn't control myself. I immediately took the plastic bag in my hand and said loudly,"I'm going to throw up, I'm sorry for everyone today." Then...

After vomiting, my consciousness became clear immediately, and the feeling of rolling and uncomfortable immediately disappeared. It was good to vomit! The next step was an unwakeable nap, sleeping all the way to Yangshuo.

200-year-old Yangshuo Official Residence

After 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the bus had arrived at the Yangshuo parking lot. I was still sleeping and was awakened by the turmoil after getting off the bus. Speaking of which, I slept too well. I called the inn with my luggage. They sent someone to pick it up at a charge of 50 yuan. After the conversation, I waited on the roadside.

After a while, the driver picked me up. This time I lived in Jiuxian County, which was farther away from Yangshuo County, but also closer to nature. Living in Yangshuo Jiuxian Official Residence Inn, the old county was the former center of Yangshuo, and now the expanded center has become Yangshuo Town. The original old county has always been preserved and is actually a small village. The official residence is the former county magistrate of the small village of Jiuxian County. Later, it was distributed to local residents by room before being used as a B & B.

The house has a history of more than 200 years and is built of bricks and wood. According to the driver who sent me here, people couldn't afford this kind of house before. The landlord's house, haha...

This house is worthless now, but the land is valuable, and there is also 200 years of historical and cultural value that cannot be evaluated with money.

It was almost past 2 o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at Yangshuo's official residence. I lived on the second floor of the side courtyard. I washed up briefly and went downstairs to visit the house. The bamboo tiger recliner gives people a very simple domineering look.

The main courtyard and the side courtyard are separated by this round arched door.

The small patio of the side courtyard was photographed from the second floor of the side courtyard. It is a very comfortable small place.

A pot of fake flowers and incense. It's okay to eat in the yard during the day and at night, so you have to hold a smoke stove and place it around you. During this trip to Yangshuo, most of them were active between the mountains and rivers. Many of them were bitten by mosquitoes from top to bottom. Some mosquitoes were poisonous, and their skin became swollen like a steamed bun after biting. They had to bring anti-mosquito spray to Yangshuo.

After walking around the courtyard for a while, the time shifted to three o'clock in the afternoon. I originally wanted to say that I would rest at the inn and go out to play tomorrow, but now I am full of energy when I see the beautiful scenery. The uncomfortable feeling of motion sickness and vomiting in the morning has disappeared without a trace. The little sister who received me at the inn said that there was still time anyway. You could go to the Yulong River Trail to play. I asked if I could get there alone by riding a bicycle? I can't be too far away for fear that I won't be able to ride back. The little sister said that it's no problem at all. At this time, I rode from our old county to Xiatang Village and returned. The time is about the same. She also gave me a map and route map very kindly, and also gave me a lost destination navigation. If you said you couldn't find it, just follow the navigation. I thought that the light was right now when I went cycling. It wouldn't be too hot and maybe I could see the sunset, so I borrowed the free bicycle provided by the inn to ride.

Not long after riding out from the official residence, you passed a small countryside surrounded by small hills.

Continuing to ride, I encountered a small wild rock climbing base on the way. I stopped and stepped on the ground. I was still sitting on the bicycle and took out my camera to take photos. The rock climbing boy warmly greeted "Come rock climbing!" I was afraid, it was too wild, so I thanked him and continued riding.

Passing through the village, I continued to ride along the route given to me by the little lady at the inn. I immediately stopped after seeing the "Yulong River Trail" and turned a corner to the trail. Coming to the trail means that you have officially entered the scenic beauty area. Everything you see with your eyes is different, more refined, more natural and more beautiful. The picture below shows what it looked like before entering the trail. The bicycle is a little old and my bag is a little eyesore, but if you look at the scenery not far ahead, it is first-class. Put away the camera and continue to ride forward.

Looking at the eyes of the cattle opposite him, he seemed to have noticed me and was sizing me up curiously. The golden sunset shines on the arms and face of the hard-working brother!

Flowers are planted on both sides of the trail, which is so eye-catching!

[A small interlude]

Riding from the brick trail to the asphalt trail, where there was more space, I decided to stop and fly a drone. What was embarrassing was that when the plane took off, the control surface of the mobile phone showed no memory card, and the photo button was also negative. At this moment, I really wanted to die. I brought such a heavy drone, but I didn't bring a card!!! Sitting on the ground and reflecting for a while, suddenly there was a little brother swimming by on a bicycle, holding a camera and taking pictures. After a while, he rode back again. I thought he must also be traveling because he had been taking pictures. If he was taking pictures, he might have a memory card, and it might be feasible to borrow it and return it to him after taking pictures. So I took the initiative to greet him and asked him if he had a small memory card and wanted to borrow it. What was relaxing was that he was very generous. I immediately took off my backpack and flipped through the memory card to me.

The plane took off smoothly, and I could only shoot for 28 minutes at most. After flying for 20 minutes, my mobile phone page displayed a low battery alarm, and the shooting was similar. After landing the plane, I saved all the shooting materials and immediately contacted the kind-hearted person who had just added WeChat to lend me a memory card. He happened to be nearby and said he would come by bicycle to pick it up. It was a perfect day. The drone didn't take many photos, and the only few were not satisfied, so I didn't send photos. I recorded some videos and put them on the vlog of my trip to Guilin. If you follow me, I can see the entire video recording. The videos will be posted in sections on Ctrip Travel Photos, and the full version will be posted at @madamelee.

While waiting for the little brother to come over to pick up the memory card, he took a few random photos of himself. The village was similar, but the hill was indeed beautiful, as if he could reach out and grab it.

The sun on the other side of the mountain had completely set, and countless small insects flew in the evening air from nowhere, turning back before dark.

When I arrived at the official residence inn in the evening, I didn't go to other houses for dinner. Many guests from other houses came here to eat. After all, it was the county magistrate's room and ordered a beer fish. Oh my God!!! It's so delicious!!! There are many brewed vegetables in Guilin. Looking at the menu, they all include tofu maiden, beef brewed, eggplant brewed, etc. This plate of beer fish is also similar to brewed. The thickening is very good, the fish is smooth and tender, and the shredded peppers and onions are stir-fried so that people can clap their hands. It is a magic weapon for cooking. Unfortunately, eating two-thirds of the food is really overwhelming. It is a shame to waste. The alarm bell rings. It is difficult for one person to order, but it is just right for two people to eat it.

After eating beer fish, he teased the arrogant cat Mimi in the yard to relieve digestion, and then went upstairs to sleep.

Cycling is the best way to travel from Yulong River to Shili Gallery

Today, I dedicated the whole day to bicycles. At the end of the journey, my calves are tough. The most beautiful thing about the Yulong River Scenic Area is to ride along the trail. Coming out of the Official Residence Inn, today we follow yesterday's route, but it is farther than yesterday. Riding along the Yulong River to the Shili Gallery, more than ten kilometers away, at the end of the ride, I almost went crazy, feeling that my legs were not my own hahahaha...

Not long after riding out of the inn, you will reach an old bridge with red chains. Standing on the bridge, you can enjoy the different landscape pictures before and after. The weather is so good that many bamboo rafts are drifting by. Set up a tripod to take a few pictures of myself and wear green silk pants to echo the green green mountains.

Leave the small bridge and continue to ride on the trail. The flowers in the sun are more beautiful. The mountains in the distance are so magical. I feel that you can get close to it soon, but when you ride over, there are mountains farther away, it seems that you will never reach the foot of the mountain.

After riding all the way, walking all the way, taking pictures all the way, and watching all the way, I finally rode into the Shili Gallery Scenic Area. It was tiring but the beautiful scenery was really worth it. One tip: You must visit the Yulong River Scenic Area along the trail. The trail is not paved on a line to the end. Some sections will ride directly into the village and onto the road. Remember to find a trail along the river to play.

Small mountains are piled up one after another, and a tripod is set up to record a few pictures.

Time passed by, and if we continued to ride forward, the journey back became even longer. Today, we had a deep and real experience of nature. At 3 p.m., I drank a large fresh coconut at a roadside beverage shop. After drinking it, I should ride back to the inn. The route is still along the trail scenic area and we will go back in the sunset!!!

When I encountered a large river covered with "chocolate" mountains, the moon in the mirror was so beautiful. I had already put away the tripod, but I was shocked by the beautiful scenery. I set up the tripod and took a few environmental portraits.

Riding to the small windmill means that your visit to the Yulong River has been interrupted, and the number of people has increased significantly in the scenic area.

If you were lazy, you would take a photo of the introduction of the waterwheel, so you wouldn't have to write it.

There will be many cold drink vendors on the trails along the road. After buying a green feeling that I haven't eaten for 800 years, the taste will immediately be brought back to my student days.

On the way back, smoke curled from the kitchen and the sunset had set. I won't tell you that I have been riding for 6 hours so far today, and I have never pedaled on a spinning bike in the gym for more than an hour. Today, I was pedaling outdoors for 6 hours at night. It's easy to sleep.

This is the end of my journey today, and my stomach is also singing an empty city plan. Put away the camera and follow the trail back to the inn for dinner!!!

A long reflection under the 600-year-old stone bridge

On a new day, I am about to leave the old county and go to the Alila Sugar House Hotel. The hotel check-in time is 3 p.m., and there is still a whole morning. In the morning, I plan to visit the 600-year-old Fuli Bridge, and then ride from the Jinlong Bridge Pier. Take a bamboo raft and drift all the way to the old county Pier. In the morning, I had a down-to-earth Chinese breakfast at the official residence compound. After eating enough, I asked the inn lady to call a car to take me directly to Fuli Bridge. After that, I went rafting. The driver drove to the Jiuxian Pier to pick me up and back to the inn. The whole transfer fee was 50 yuan.

It takes about 20 minutes to drive from the official residence to Fuli Bridge. There were not many tourists to Fuli Bridge. It used to be a dock, but now the dock has been removed to protect the bridge. However, it can also be seen that it was busy before. Many tables were built along the river, there were also some artificial pergolas, and there was also a parking lot with poor infrastructure on the road. I asked the driver to wait for me for a while, then ran to see the old bridge myself, and walked over it.

The Fuli Bridge is as long as it is. The entire bridge is built of rectangular stones. It can be said to be an extremely ancient stone bridge. The sides of the bridge are covered with moss, some of which have dried and turned black. The sense of history can be felt when you approach it.

Take a close-up view. As shown in the picture, the bridge has no fences and no protective measures. Pay attention to safety when crossing the bridge.

When you come to the bridge covered by a big tree in the shade, you feel completely different. The trickle of water, green and clear, and you are immediately refreshed.

Walking up this old bridge and looking down is actually quite nervous, because there are no safety measures, but the scenery behind you is unparalleled when standing high. Guilin has the best mountains and rivers in the world. It deserves this title.

The scenery taken while standing on the bridge.

There is an old man tinkering with his handmade stall under the bridge.

After leaving Fuli Bridge, get on the bus and continue to go to Jinlong Bridge Wharf to take a bamboo raft. Fuli Bridge is very close to Jinlong Bridge Wharf, and it takes only a 5-minute drive.

Bamboo raft rafting and swimming in the Xiaoli River

When we arrived at Jinlongqiao Wharf, there were not many people at this time. There were only two foreigners and I who had to take a boat. A bamboo raft was 255 yuan and lasted about 90 minutes.

The employees who rowed bamboo rafts at the check-in office were all resting. They were also puzzled. They saw so many bamboo rafts drifting on the Yulong River yesterday, and why did they feel like they had to book the venue today?

After checking the tickets, we arrived at the dock. Bamboo rafts supported by small umbrellas floated densely on the shore. No one went out to sea, and almost everyone was resting.

After assigning me a bamboo raft, I began to drift.

Bamboo raft rafting is not to be missed. Taking a small boat will make times better.

This is what I look like when I sit on a bamboo raft. The life jacket is a little rubbed, but I can't take it off, so I can only wear it and shoot it. He chatted with the rowing master behind him every word. The one he remembered most was that he said,"Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world, and Yangshuo's mountains and rivers are the best in Guilin."

Along the way, we drifted on the Yulong River, crossing many bridges of varying heights and sizes.

I will also pass other docks on the way, and the bamboo rafts on the docks are also resting on the shore. There are really few tourists today.

From time to time, I will bump into villagers fishing.

Today, there are only two of our bamboo rafts on the whole river. Two foreigners looked at my bamboo rafts, and I looked at theirs.

I had always been in the lead, but then their bamboo raft passed me.

The bamboo raft is a little old, but it is also very traditional in Chinese style. Although the colorful umbrellas are rubbed a little, it really feels comfortable to float on the river.

It took about 90 minutes for my bamboo raft to finally reach the shore.

After getting off the boat, I met the driver. He was waiting on the dock for me to take me back to the inn. After returning to the inn, I walked around at will. There are also many B & Bs and inns around. Some old houses cannot be visited unless you consume them. You can only quietly stand outside and take a photo. It seems that it is already past 1 o'clock in the afternoon. It is time to go find food.

I stopped at a nearby restaurant with quite a lot of customers. The restaurant was very simple and had a sun shed. Tables and chairs were placed casually under the sun shed, and the countryside and hills could be seen on the side. It was also a low-profile version of the landscape restaurant. Although the weather in Yangshuo was hot in September, I ordered a glass of Liquan Beer and drank it instantly!!! I ordered tofu stuffed with rice, which is fragrant and soft. I love Chinese food!!!

After eating, he returned to the official residence along the surrounding area. These buildings are all brick facades, and one of the walls still retains quotations from the reform and opening up era, taking a photo to record the unforgettable past.

Next, it is time to take your luggage and go to the Arila Sugar House. I only intend to visit the hotel when I go to the Sugar House. The time passes until 3 p.m., and you can check in.

Born for a surprise, Alila Sugar House

From the Jiuxian official residence to Yangshuo Alila, the point-to-point taxi ride costs 80 yuan. The sugar house that I have been looking forward to is finally moving in and unveiling its veil today. The staff enthusiastically helped me carry my luggage and walked into this reception hall with a reform and opening-up style and a mix of modernity. From this hall, you can feel its excellent design. The house is still an old house, but the soft decoration and decoration are quite novel, simple and industrial, and simple and luxurious.

The lobby is filled with many Yangshuo tourist information and promotional advertisements for hotel entertainment projects.

After checking in information, the staff took me to the guest room to have a look. The guest room is the standard room of a general star-rated hotel. It has a spacious balcony, a comfortable queen bed, and a bathtub for taking a bath. The rooms are all the same, so the photos of the rooms will be omitted, and more beautiful buildings outside the sugar house will be added.

Take a selfie in the bathroom, change out of your morning drift clothes, put on a comfortable skirt, put on makeup and go to the bar for a drink.

The overall appearance of the sugar house is still simple and cold.

With the motherland in mind and the world in mind, this was the most powerful copy in my circle of friends that day.

I moved to the bar in one second. Outside the bar is the popular sugar house swimming pool on the Internet. I also wanted to take photos, but there were really too many people. Everyone was having a great time taking photos of the water on the shore. I plan to take photos tomorrow morning. I don't think there will be many people in the morning. Let's take photos first tonight!!

After ordering a cup of the sugar factory master, the first taste was amazing, but the first bite reached its peak. The marginal benefits of the second bite were diminishing, and I felt that it was not so good. Maybe I didn't like drinking cocktails to the beginning. While drinking wine, I watched the beautiful women outside the window taking pictures. It was quite interesting, let alone say. By the way, Arilla's consumption is worth mentioning. The price is too high. The bar charges a 10% service charge and 6% value-added tax. In addition, the SPA services in the hotel are often 1000+, which scares the baby. If you kill a horse, you still have to go to Southeast Asia.

I sat in the bar for nearly 3 hours, drank and ate, and the sun set until the faint lights in the pool came on.

This is the entire view of the bar. It is very large, with many locations but very small occupancy. Although it is a bar and you can also order food, almost all of them are Western-style dishes such as pasta, pizza, and sandwiches. Snacks include French fries, fried chicken legs, etc. Oh, by the way, any glass of wine you order will come with two plates of wine ingredients, fried green beans and fried broad beans.

The sunken bar of the trendy industrial-style 1960 Bar.

After eating and drinking, I should walk back, take a bath and sleep, and come to the pool tomorrow to play.

A day's leisurely tour of Jiumeng Sugar Factory

A good day starts with breakfast. The room includes a buffet breakfast, which is served until 10 a.m. at the latest. The restaurant is also beautiful, with fashionable waste industries and indoor and outdoor areas. The staff received me warmly and asked for my room number. I smiled and said,"I want to sit outside."

I ate too little breakfast itself, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to finish it and waste it. It was in a high-end hotel and everyone was watching, so I only took a little bit, but I asked for two cups of coffee. I've fallen into the whirlpool of coffee all my life.

The outdoor restaurant is right opposite the accommodation area, so you can probably tell which restaurant you are staying in.

Having breakfast facing the hills is comfortable!!!

After eating breakfast, apply your makeup and start the pat mode.

You can set up your "boyfriend" tripod at will in Yulong River, but tripods are not allowed in the sugar house. What should I do? I can only coquettishly ask the employees to take pictures. They all wear black t-shirts. I can rest assured that the employees are all very nice and no one, male or female, will refuse you.

Through hard work and thrift, the brick house remains unchanged, and the long glass windows have been renovated.

The restaurant and gallery were photographed on the balcony of the room.

Finally, we walked to the swimming pool that looked like ruins but was very tough. The swimming pool was definitely the business card of the sugar house. It was not just a sense of design. It directly faced the Li River and the mountains, and the scenery was invincible.

The rectangular swimming pool can capture the dreamy scenery of the Li River on the front, and the back is also super beautiful. You can capture the layered sugar house buildings under the mountain of the big stone.

I still prefer the scenery, where 70 parts image and 30 parts imagination, and people are swimming in the painting.

I was also lucky in the morning. Compared with yesterday's dumplings, there were very few people today. After taking pictures and shopping, I took off my shoes and lay down on the recliner to enjoy the slightly hot but dreamy time.

After lying for 2 hours, my stomach became hungry again. The leisure time from traveling was indeed extravagant. It was time to enjoy delicious food again. How happy! I ordered a plate of very Chinese pasta and changed it to a down-to-earth name "Big Bowl Wide Noodle Dry Mixed Type".

I ordered a glass of Chardonnay, and the wine was better than a cocktail.

Sit on the old table paved with rocks and blend with the old times.

Go back to the reception hall after dinner and check out. A good day is always too short.

I am about to leave the sugar house and sit in the lobby waiting to be sent off. My trip was very complete and I hope to have the next short and pleasant domestic trip.

Goodbye! Sugar shed!

After traveling for four years, my destinations are almost overseas. I am about to return home after every long-distance trip. When I see Pudong PVG at airports around the world, I almost burst into tears. After the plane landed, all I saw were Chinese square characters and I almost burst into tears. I thought that I could finally eat a big bite of malatang when I returned home! The more you go abroad, the more patriotic you are! After reading Western civilization and then looking back at Greater China, I found the parts that I didn't care about before: Chinese, the Book of Songs, mountains and rivers, ethnic groups, courtyard houses, pavilions, tea, porcelain, cheongsam, drama, high-speed rail, Chinese food, takeout, Alipay... It shines so brightly!

I have seen many worlds before, and then I hope to visit the green mountains and clear waters of the motherland. I love Yangshuo, I love Greater China!!!
