Summer vacation was not part of my plans, but at the end of the summer vacation, my son said,"Mommy, it seems that we have not traveled this summer vacation, so we temporarily decided on Guilin as the destination. It can be said that it was a trip that I wanted to go at will. Why choose Guilin?" There are four reasons: first, of course, because Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world; second, because the 20-yuan scenery photo is the Li River and I want to take my son to see it; third, because I went to Guilin seven years ago and didn't swim the Longji Terrace; fourth, I was lazy, I had been to Guilin, and I really didn't have time to slowly make a trip to a strange place, so I chose to revisit the old place.

The destination was decided, so I checked the locations of the three places I wanted to go on the map, and immediately booked a round-trip high-speed rail ticket from Guangzhou-Guilin North Railway Station (because Guilin North is closer to the Lijiang River Scenic Area), rented a car, and booked a hotel.

Hotel:

Book by Ctrip and change one room every night, as follows:

Longji terraces, stay in B & B,Longsheng Xiyu Boutique Homestay, RMB293 per night, the Tatami family room has a viewing balcony, and the beds are big enough, one is 1.5 meters and the other is 1.8 meters. Because on the mountain (it seems to be Tiantou Village), the accommodation environment is really average. However, the local chicken bamboo rice cooked by the landlord is always delicious, and the price is conscience. It is very close to the observation deck and within a walking distance of about 100 meters. The landlord's off-road vehicle is responsible for free transportation from the parking lot to the B & B. Because the mountain road is very steep, ordinary cars cannot be driven up, so they can only take the landlord's pickup truck. As soon as I got to the parking lot, it started to rain, so the photos taken were like this.

Guilin City,Guilin Jiumi Sujiang Hotel, right on the bank of the Li River, opposite Fubo Mountain. Xiaogui is also a Tatami family room. It costs RMB568 per night. However, the hygiene is very clean, the environment is excellent, and it has the air of a literary youth. It has two 1.8-meter-long beds and a very comfortable mattress. It is the most comfortable one of the three hotels. Breakfast is also abundant.

As soon as you come out of the hotel, you will be on the edge of the Li River and opposite Fubo Mountain
The landlord's cat is called Jiang Xiaomi. The two babies love it very much. After coming back, they still can't forget about Jiang Xiaomi.
Said he must take a photo with Jiang Xiaomi, but he was drunk, haha
This is two breakfasts. The room rate includes 3 breakfasts. One additional serving is only RMB15. There are Guilin rice noodles, mung bean paste, and coarse grains eggs.

Yangshuo, stay directly at a B & B in the middle of Yangshuo West Street.Sihai Hotel, as soon as you exit the door, you will find Yangshuo West Street, which is very convenient, RMB412. I struggled with this hotel for a long time because there is no parking lot on West Street, and cars can only be parked in a nearby paid parking lot, which means dragging luggage and running away, but the hotel environment is very nice.

A small courtyard that takes tranquility in the bustle
Schedule:

DAY 1After the high-speed train arrives at Guilin North Railway Station, pick up the train directly, and then go to Zhengyang Road Pedestrian Street for lunch. The journey is about 10 kilometers. It is around 1 noon and it is very hot.

I originally ordered a Buick Angora, but it was not cleaned when I picked up the car. In order not to spend time waiting, I replaced it with Baowo, a new car.
On Zhengyang Road Pedestrian Street, if you don't see anyone, you can tell that the heat is so hot that it explodes...
My son helped me take the photo, but the original picture has not been photoshopped

Based on memory, I found the place where I went to eat Guilin rice noodles seven years ago. The place should be the same place. The store is no longer the original store, but Guilin rice noodles still taste in my memory, which is always praised!

A must-buy natural drink to cool off the heat every day, Thai coconut green for RMB20 each

After lunch, I walked around the Lijiang River Scenic Area, with the Two Rivers and Four Lakes and the Elephant Trunk Mountain Scenic Area next to it. Because it was too hot, I visited the Two Rivers and Four Lakes, and the Elephant Trunk Mountain directly skipped it.

Because the weather was too hot, I decided to drive to the Longji Terrace and insert my itinerary here. Since the Longji Terrace and Yangshuo are south and north, and Guilin North Railway Station is in between, I decided to go to the Longji Terrace first and then return to Guilin City, and finally play Yangshuo.

It takes a 2-hour drive to the Longji Terrace, because there are dozens of kilometers of mountain roads, which are very slow, but the highway from Guilin is smooth. Listening to Wang Feng's song, the sky is so blue and the mood is so good. It feels special.

Ticket sales point, buy self-driving tickets, one ticket per person

The dinner was cooked by the landlord. I have to mention the bamboo chicken and bamboo rice. The chicken was so delicious that no matter how delicious I ate bamboo rice on the later trip, I felt that it was not as delicious as here. The landlord also gave the rice wine brewed by himself. It was sweet and very delicious. A meal for four people costs just over 200 yuan. The price is super conscience. The Guilin rice noodles cooked by the breakfast landlord are also very delicious.

DAY 2:

The observation deck is very close to B & B. The next morning, sleep until you wake up naturally, have breakfast, and then go to the observation deck to view the terraces.

In fact, the best seasons to view terraces are from April to May when they are filled with water and not transplanted, and in the golden autumn of October. 4-5 The moon looks like a natural scroll made of mirrors, and the golden autumn of October brings the joy of a golden harvest.

4-5 The terraced fields in the month are like this (photos found on the Internet). They are so beautiful that they can rest in the house?!!

The terraced fields in the golden autumn of October are like this below. The atmosphere of harvest is strong and the joy arises spontaneously!!!

The terraced fields I saw in August were patches of green below, representing infinite vitality and hope, and permeating into the soul!

Finally, I saw the Longji Terrace. The gifts of nature and the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people formed this magnificent terraced field. This trip was completely shocking! Moreover, I didn't encounter any tour group on this trip, so I could quietly experience the beauty of the trip!

For the next trip, I will go back to the Lijiang Scenic Area and return to the Lijiang Scenic Area at 1 noon. I will check in for lunch at the Internet celebrity shop Chunji Roast Goose. It tastes good!

Continue to eat and drink at Zhengyang Road Pedestrian Street for dinner. After eating a rib in Wuhan, my baby can't forget about a rib

The baby eats it down, but the cousin eats it slowly, haha

After shopping for a round of snacks, continue to check in to the Internet celebrity shop Xiaonanguo Beer Sword Bone Fish! It tastes good, but as a person from Shunde, the world's gourmet capital, the way this fish is cooked can only be regarded as average, because Shunde people's pursuit of fish eating can already be regarded as a superb state, haha!!

DAY 3:

The mission of this trip is to visit the Xingping section of the Lijiang River, where the scenery photos were taken for RMB 20. After checking the Ctrip strategy, I strongly recommend traveling on a bamboo raft. Four people will have a bamboo raft, and tickets below 1.3 meters will be free. Among the four of us, one person below 1.3 meters will be free. If you don't want to compete with others on a bamboo raft, you can make up the 25RMB difference. To visit the Lijiang River section with bamboo rafts to see the scenery for 20 yuan, some people suggested going from Yangdi to Jiuma, and some suggested going from Xingping to Jiuma. However, it seems that there is no turning back from Yangdi to Jiuma, so we finally chose Xingping-Jiuma-Xingping. For the round trip, we have to get on the bamboo raft before 10:30.

At 8 o'clock, I drove more than 100 kilometers from the Lijiang Scenic Area to Xingping. I went to the ticket office at 10:05. I asked the staff and found that there were no parking lots in the scenic area. They were all private parking lots. There was a person at the ticket office who said he could take us there. It was a 5-minute drive (because the path was very slow) and charged 20RMB to park by the way. I followed immediately. I really took it to the parking spot closest to the dock and then walked more than 100 meters to the dock. I arrived at the bamboo raft at 10:25. In fact, very few people visited the Lijiang River that day.

This mission is completed!!! I finally saw the location where the scenery photos were taken for RMB 20!

Come on, it's time to let you use your imagination

Camel crossing the river

took the lead

Can you count 9 horses below the famous Nine-Horse Painting Mountain?

Two old cousins, just taking a photo. Do you need to be so intimate?^_^

After swimming the Lijiang River, I checked in to the nearby Xingping Ancient Town. At the end of August, there were few tourists in the ancient town and it was very comfortable to stroll around. I had lunch while I was there

Next stop: Yangshuo Yinziyan, it takes about an hour from Xingping Ancient Town. I wanted to go to Shili Gallery to see the big banyan tree first, but the road was being built at the time, so I couldn't get in by driving, so I gave up decisively and then turned to Yinziyan. Yinziyan is a typical karst landform. The entire karst cave runs through twelve peaks and gathers stalactites from different geological ages. I saw it 7 years ago and found it very spectacular, so I must bring two treasures to experience the karst landform. There is also a saying: "Traveling through Yinziyan, you will never be short of money all your life." Pictures taken with fruit mobile phones can only have this effect. Because there is no professional camera, the scene feels much more shocking!

Yangshuo West Street

There are not many tourists on Yangshuo West Street at night. Walking on the street gives you a special feeling

Mirror maze, two old cousins want to play when they see it

Of course, the protagonist Guilin rice noodles are indispensable for dinner. I feel that I haven't had a good dinner since I came to Guilin, haha

I was tired from shopping at night and now I am immune to bars. Instead of going to the bar, I might as well go back to the hotel to make Kung Fu tea.

In the courtyard with deep vegetation, make tea with dew and pick flower hairpin heads to live up to the passing years!! It's about our mood at the moment! Two babies were playing with the landlord's cat. My husband and I were sighing about Kung Fu tea and enjoying the tranquility of the years at this moment!

DAY 4

Walking around Yangshuo West Street during the day, the crowd subsided, making it less noisy and more tranquil

Come to M-Ji on Yitian West Street and have breakfast

After lunch, drive to Guilin North High-speed Railway Station to return the car, fill up the gas and go to the parking lot to return the car keys and relevant information directly, and you don't even need to inspect the car. If there is enough time, you can directly ask the staff to check and then leave to avoid any unpleasantness in the future.

This trip covered more than 500 kilometers in 4 days, and it all depends on it, haha! The transportation fare is simply too cheap. @^@

At this point, the trip to Guilin ended.

Some people say that the most romantic thing is to accompany you to see all the scenery photos on the RMB. I can't agree more! Haha! Baby, I have accompanied you to see scenery photos for 100 yuan, 1 yuan, and 20 yuan. Which one do you want to go to next? Body and soul, at least one of them must be on the road, hehe!
