One person sees the scenery, and two people see life.

If marriage represents the beginning of a new chapter in life, then I think the first paragraph of the new chapter should be reserved for the honeymoon trip. Actively "responded" to the country's three-day legal marriage leave. After comparing the advantages and disadvantages of various routes, my husband and I finally reached a consensus that the honeymoon destination: Guilin, Guangxi.

Yangshuo Mountains and Waters are the best of Guilin

First stop: Yangshuo

Hotel: Yangshuo Four Seasons Yunqi Resort Hotel

Transportation: High-speed rail: Shenzhen → Yangshuo: 2 hours and 42 minutes fare 214.5 (second-class seat)

The high-speed train takes more than 2 hours, and you can arrive in just a few minutes after eating instant noodles and taking a nap. As soon as I left the station, I saw the housekeeper "Tea Tea" holding high the welcome sign. This is the hotel's unique housekeeper service. The housekeeper will book all schedules with the guests in advance, such as transportation, meals, travel items, personal taboos, etc. This completely releases our brains for my husband and I, who are lazy about making strategies. Because of such a caring service, the strangeness of traveling from other places dissipated instantly.

The high-speed train is also a fifty-minute drive from the hotel. Along the way, there are lush green mountains and excellent scenery. Finally, the car followed the signs of the Yulong River Scenic Area, and then passed the gate of the "Qianggu Qing Scenic Area" and turned a corner to the hotel. Sure enough, the review said that the hotel is 8 minutes 'walk from Qiangu Qing, which is not a exaggeration at all.

The first impression of the hotel is that it is an Hui-style building with white walls and gray tiles. The floor is not high. There are only five or six floors in total. When you look up, you will see the glass on the balconies of each room, facing the Yulong River and the mountains.

The main entrance of the hotel lobby is two double-open screen doors. After being merged, the hollow middle part just happens to see the portrait of Liu Sanjie in the distance. The hotel lobby is decorated in a new Chinese style. The decoration and furnishings are all wooden and dotted with various small works of art everywhere. In particular, lotus and lotus seed buds handicrafts are personally picked by the hotel from the lotus pond at the door, processed with iron wire and dried in the sun, but the effect is perfect with the decoration style.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the store, and we were so hungry that we couldn't wait to eat. So I didn't think much about it and chose to enjoy the first meal at the hotel. Trying proved that this was a very wise choice.

This meal completely changed our traditional impression that Guangxi only had three rice noodles.

After dinner, we plan to go for a walk on the West Street. I made an appointment with the housekeeper half an hour in advance, and she would help us contact a free shuttle bus. Strolling along the Qingshiban Street on West Street, the lively bar street, a dazzling array of goods, a literary cafe, drinking bowls of wine, and hanging wishing signs, this is what we imagine a honeymoon trip should look like.

When I returned to the hotel in the evening, I saw the goodnight dessert delivered and the goodnight card saying "I wish to rub all the beauty into my dreams". I quietly tasted the sweetness and fell asleep with a sweet dream.

With the scheduled morning call ring, we woke up from a familiar dream and opened the curtains. Wow! I couldn't help but marvel. The sun just rose slowly from the mountains facing the room, and the sky turned from yellow to warm and became stronger. The light of the morning sun suddenly sprinkled on my husband and I, giving each other a warm hug, and a beautiful day began!

When you come to Guilin, how can you miss Guilin rice noodles? The hotel has two options for breakfast in Chinese and Western styles, one set for each person. I chose Chinese food, sir, Western food.

After breakfast, under the leadership of the housekeeper "Cha Cha", we rented the hotel battery car and started an early morning tour of the Yulong River. This time we finally saw the beautiful scenery of the Shili Gallery and the mountains, coupled with the fog that had not dissipated in the morning, it was like a fairyland. No wonder people said,"Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world, and Yangshuo's mountains and rivers are the best in Guilin." The peaks reflect the floating mountains, and there is no water or mountains." The riverside is also full of life. The aunts carry clothes to the riverside to wash, and the grandfathers also carry fishing rods and enjoy their lives quietly. Tourists will not disturb them too much.

Butler "Tea Tea" introduced that in recent years, Yangshuo has introduced many entertainment projects, such as helicopters, hot air balloons, outdoor expansion training camps, rainbow slides, etc., which can provide entertainment projects for more young tourists.

According to online reviews, this hotel often holds various interactions for guests to experience. Sure enough, as soon as we got back from our bike ride, yoga class started. The sun is getting warm at noon. Under the leadership of a yoga teacher, various stretching movements can open the chest, which can absorb more fresh air and ventilate the stomach.

Knowing that we were on our honeymoon, the housekeeper "Tea Tea" specially helped us pay attention to the location of flower arranging classes. The flower arranging class was held in the hotel tea bar. The teacher was a little girl at the front desk. She smiled shyly and sweetly, and she started the class in a soft and gentle voice. We told the teacher that the work we hoped to produce was a sweet flower basket. She would advise us on how to choose materials and cut them, but we left us to complete all the work ourselves. After seeing the finished product I made myself, I joked to my husband, unfortunately, the wedding was over, otherwise it would have been more meaningful to use this as a bouquet.

Guests can choose to take away the finished floral works or place them in public areas of the hotel.

After having fun early in the morning, my stomach was already protesting softly. After the previous dinner and breakfast were conquered by the craftsmanship of the hotel's chefs, we did not hesitate to enjoy this lunch at the hotel and booked the newly launched "Yunqi Special dustpan Meal", a gourmet set meal dressed with Guangxi specialty dustpan. In the middle is the lotus leaf eight-treasure chicken. Even if the lotus leaf is tightly wrapped, it cannot hide the aroma inside. The waiter used scissors to cut open the lotus leaf and cut open the chicken breast. The "good ingredients" of the chicken belly were finally revealed. The "Grain Rich Rice" steamed with eight local raw materials such as red dates, taro, chestnuts, and peanuts, and glutinous rice was spread out in front of us, and the saliva couldn't help but overflow.

All the ingredients are taken from the local area. For example, the lotus leaves of lotus leaf chicken are picked from the lotus pond in front of the hotel. The chickens used are local chickens carefully raised by local farmers, so they are not stale or greasy.

Papaya and guava are sour, which is a representative of Guangxi's characteristic "sour wild". Chop the fruits of papaya and guava and mix them with salt and pepper, which is very appetizing and soothing.

Pork ribs with sweet-scented osmanthus sauce, pick fresh osmanthus, add sugar and honey, boil them to make juice, and add the ribs and stir-fry them until the ribs completely absorb the essence of the sauce and are wrapped in a thick yellow sauce.

Mugwort leaf cake, glutinous rice cake, snacks with local characteristics, mugwort leaf cake, etc. are all picked on the mountains near the hotel.

The osmanthus wine brewed in late autumn is just ready to be boiled. The strong flavor of 21 degrees is accompanied by the rich osmanthus aroma. The wine is slightly yellow and green, the wine is fresh and mellow, and is sweet and clean. It makes people move at one taste, laugh at the second taste, and admire it at the third taste. osmanthus wine is also a famous local Tibetan wine in Guilin.

After eating and drinking, the two of us finally had time to stroll around the hotel. There are not many rooms in the hotel, so there are relatively few guests staying in the hotel. It may also be that everyone is out to visit attractions during the day. So the atrium, swimming pool and other areas we visited were all very quiet and had a good experience.

The hotel faces the mountains, so many rooms have balcony bathtub lights facing the endless mountain view. Take a bath in the bathtub, and you don't have to worry about privacy issues without closing the curtains. Any photo taken from the bathtub is an Internet celebrity photo, and you can have a concave shape at your disposal.

The open-air atrium on the first floor is a flooded pool, and various tiled steps are stacked to allow guests to walk on the pool. If at night, every step is lit up with lights, it is a bit like Thailand's water city sky lanterns.

You can make an appointment to enjoy afternoon tea in the atrium of the hotel. In the empty space, there is no direct sun, and friends can enjoy delicious food and chat.

There is a completely transparent boat on the swimming pool. Unfortunately, the weather is very cold now and there is no way to go into the water.

What impressed us most was that there were no exquisite small art.

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the hotel lobby began to become lively again. It turned out that it was "afternoon tea time" again. Free afternoon teas include handmade songhua halls, cookies and other snacks, coffee and tea, etc., as well as "tea making" that allows guests to experience on-site. Camellia oleifera is a classic local snack in Guilin, specially used to receive valuable guests.

Prepare a bowl of tea specially made for Camellia oleifera, soak it in two rounds of warm water, filter out the water, put it into the stone bowl for making Camellia oleifera, then add ginger, garlic, onion, and peanuts, and then start to "make Camellia oleifera" with a wooden stick. In fact, I just use a stick to crush the materials in the bowl. It looks very simple. I experienced it, and I was so tired after knocking it a few times. I felt sorry for the hotel boy. In addition to having to use force, I also had to face the bowl. The spicy smell of garlic and ginger. Beat the camellia oleifera for ten minutes. Pour the mashed camellia oleifera into an iron pot, add water into the pan to cook, and turn on a strong heat at the bottom. The process of cooking camellia oleifera must continue to use a wooden hammer to beat it constantly to ensure that the tea leaves blend better with other ingredients, so that the camellia oleifera water will be more fragrant, and the fragrance will be emitted during this process. Finally, filter the boiled Camellia oleifera material through a wooden sieve, and add salt, onions, fried rice, and fried soybeans to the Camellia oleifera water. Stir-fried peanuts and other ingredients, and a bowl of authentic Guilin characteristic Camellia oleifera is ready.

There is a local saying in Guilin: "One cup of bitter, two cups of bitter (dialect, meaning astringent) three cups or four cups of good Camellia oleifera." Sure enough, the first round of Camellia oleifera was really bitter to drink. It wasn't until the third round that I felt that the tea was getting weaker and weaker, and the taste returned to its sweetness, so I completely fell in love with this special snack. It is said that drinking Camellia oleifera has the effects of dispelling cold and dampness, refreshing, and filling the stomach, so my husband and I drank three bowls in a row.

I went to seclusion in the clouds and hid in the countryside. The short stay for one day was short and long. The short time was because I felt that time passed too quickly, and the long time was because I felt that I had left many memories. After afternoon tea, we booked a hotel car to go to our next destination. Even before we were leaving, my husband and I brought some of the hotel's handmade Shaqima as a gift, hoping to pass on this sweet memory to relatives and friends.

? Is Guilin the best mountains and rivers in the world?

Transportation: Book a hotel vehicle to Guilin City, which takes an hour and a half

Hotel: Guilin Lijiang Boyin Hotel

It was already 4:30 in the afternoon when I arrived at the hotel, and I could catch the sunset when I reached my room. The balcony of the room we booked is directly opposite the Sun and Moon Twin Towers on the Li River. The yellowed horizon, the lover snuggled, the world is too beautiful.

The hotel faces the two rivers and four lakes and backs the prosperous Guilin City. As the name of their hotel shows, they are parked-temporarily parked; hidden-hidden in Guilin City. This unique location allows the hotel to have reliable beautiful scenery in front of it and touch the bustling city in the back. It is a 10-minute drive from Guilin South Railway Station, 20 minutes from Guilin North Railway Station, and 40 minutes from the airport.

During check-in, in addition to the front desk staff, there is also a special tourism department to help hotel guests plan the entire Guilin tour itinerary. The Ministry of Tourism has arranged the entire journey from attractions, catering, transportation, etc., and is equipped with vehicle pickups and guides throughout the journey.

Following the previous experience of Yangshuo, we still chose to enjoy our first meal in Guilin in the hotel restaurant. Malay spicy coconut juice hot pot, with the red bottom of the pot, each full plate of meat dishes and ingredients. There are prawns, chicken, fish slices, clams, squid, meatballs and various fresh mushroom and vegetable ingredients. After this bite of hot pot, the fatigue of riding dissipated. Have a glass of Liquan beer. The ancient saying that "food is the most important thing for the people" summed up too well.

Night tours of the two rivers and four lakes are a must-visit. You can reach the boat terminal within a 10-minute walk from the hotel. The boat will be equipped with tour guides to introduce the historical stories of each scenic spot where you visit. There will also be a photography teacher to help tourists Adjust the camera mode and help tourists take photos.

The two rivers are talking about the Li River and the Taohua River, while the four lakes are Rong Lake, Shan Lake, Gui Lake, and Mulong Lake. When looking at the city during the day, I still feel that it is a green city built around the lakes, but at night, all kinds of sightseeing lights are lit up on both sides of the river, from green plants to pavilions and bridges. This way, the colorful night scenery that can be baked makes Guilin's nights colorful.

On the way, we will meet a total of 15 bridges, including Yingbin Bridge, Baoxian Bridge, Xinyi Bridge, Gurong Double Bridge, and Yang Bridge. When crossing the bridges, we will look up at the stone walls of the bridge holes. There are also various graffiti or carvings, calligraphy, etc.~~

When turning from the Li River to Mulong Lake, due to the different water levels, a water gate was specially designed to control them, allowing us to see vividly that the water level of the river could drop, so that passing ships could cross the bridge. From time to time, I encounter a performance team accompanying me and singing, whether it is Chinese music or dancing, which adds a lot of fun to the trip around the lake.

The most beautiful moment must be when the Twin Towers of the Sun and the Moon appear in front of us. One big and one small are like two lighthouses, standing in front of us so brightly. It is so charming.

The next morning, the bathtub was filled with water and I took a leisurely bath, facing the beautiful scenery of the Twin Towers of the Sun and the Moon, just like the poem "You are watching the scenery on the tower, and the people watching the scenery look at you through the window." It is reported that the height of buildings in the two rivers and four lakes area of Guilin City cannot exceed the seventh floor. This is also because the local government wants to protect the scenery of the two rivers and four lakes from being blocked.

Because we booked the high-speed train back to Guangdong in the afternoon, we still enjoy lunch at the hotel nearby, and we can even make reservations for delicious food directly in our room. Since it was Guilin's last meal, it was worth "some blood" properly. We chose the hotel's VIP dinner package.

How VIP are they?

Look at the picture and you will understand

The menu is served one by one

First course: Organic fresh fruit and vegetable salad: Using a unique salad supplier and paired with healthy olive oil, it can achieve an appetizing, peristaltic and digestive effect.

Look at this pot. Don't think it's a teapot. It's actually a hotel-specific honey sauce, sprinkled on top of the salad and used with it.

Cream mushroom bisque with Parma City Cheese Bread Bar

All the mushrooms used are unique to Guilin

This dish has a special way to open it. When the chef serves it, there is also a transparent lid cup on it. When opening it, you need to hold the handle of the cup, slowly pull it up, and keep circling the process. At this time, you will discover that this dish with a lingering fairy aura is the staple of today-fried Angus Premium Beef Tenderloin with Black Truffle, Wild Mushroom and Black Pepper Sauce

Use black fir fungus and black truffle meat fungus, wild fungus and thin mushroom slices, and sit on the bottom with mashed potatoes

Pan-fried Argentinian red shrimp with lemon butter sauce

Use healthy olive oil and fried with red shrimp. It is crispy and tempting.

The last thing I highly recommend is desserts!!!

Boyin's handmade special desserts

A hollow roll made of ice cheese slices with ice cheese circles and a slight acidity of strawberries inside. The bottom of the entire cheese roll is a mountain view of the Li River made with cuttlefish juice. It satisfies people's taste while also satisfying their eyes.

When checking out, we happened to meet the young girl at the front desk ordering aromatherapy. Only then did we realize that the hotel did not make central air conditioning aromatherapy. All the fragrance in the hotel was formed by the hotel staff constantly lighting aromatherapy 24 hours a day. Perhaps this is a small microcosm of the service we feel here. Doing everything hands-on and putting people first is particularly touching.

What one person sees is the scenery, what two people see is life. Perhaps the honeymoon trip is not about how many attractions we checked in this time, but about the little things we felt along the way. Thanks to the honeymoon trip, we drew each other's hearts, and thanks to Guilin, Guangxi, for allowing us to live a short and elegant life in seclusion.
