Instead of idle weekends, it is better to go to Guilin for a two-day and one-night weekend trip. Every time you come to Guangxi, it is a different season, so the weather also breeds a different flavor of Guangxi. This time, the main trip is Guilin. It turns out that there are also many travel destinations worth checking in the urban area of Guilin.

Guihu Lake is empty and there is a touch of green to welcome you

I arrived at Liuma Mountain on Guihu Lake at noon, but it was not yet time to check in at B & B, so I went to the small mountain forest next to me for a walk. After spring, the trees turned from tender green to dark green. It was summer, and this forest was also very green.

A statue of an anti-Japanese soldier was found on the path. The statue of this hero was inlaid on the stone wall, only half of his body exposed, holding a long spear statue guarding the mountains and forests. This is the ruins of the anti-Japanese bunker and fortifications at Liumashan. It was part of the Western Front Position of the Guilin Defense War in 1944. It was a combat bunker built and used by the officers and soldiers guarding the city at that time.

This mountain forest is very lonely. Walking up the stone ladder, passing through the mountain path, and crossing the forest, I found that the masonry stones under my feet are covered with moss marks, mottled by the flowing years. The fallen leaves are covered with rain and dew, making the historical story here seem even more heavy. Only this clear green leaf is fluttering with strong vitality.

Strolling along the Lake of Gui Lake, the lake is littered with waves, and only a few pedestrians pass by. I found three small boats docked in the lake. The small boats were different from those I usually see. There seemed to be people living on the boats. I wonder if there are still people living poetically in the middle of the lake today?

Yu Lanshan Mansion, what the heart moves

No. 27 Liumashan is the Yinxiang Lanshan Mansion. It has its own quiet garden in the city center. It is surrounded by green plants and is very comfortable. It is a long and good time to enjoy it. When I first arrived, I saw staff caring for the exterior walls. Lanshan Mansion was still in the trial opening stage, so everything in front of me was very new and bright.

There is a large terrace on the second floor of Lanshan Mansion. It is a lush scenery as far as you can see, but I didn't want to leave when I came here. I felt the coolness of the breeze on the terrace, but it couldn't blow it away at the moment. The sound laziness.

The decoration style of Lanshan Mansion is very special. It adopts a typical Republic of China corridor style arcade design. The mint green color of the exterior wall is integrated with the surrounding environment. My friend said that my green skirt also matches the B & B very well.

There are many hotels in Yangshuo, Guilin, but I would also recommend coming here to experience local B & Bs. Each B & B has a different view. Walking into different rooms will get different surprises. On the Internet celebrity terrace, you can still enjoy checking in and taking photos. Every trip to Guangxi, there are beautiful memories filled with B & Bs.

At this time, the world is rich in greenery, and in the state of traveling, you can actually do nothing. You can spend a beautiful and leisurely afternoon with a cup of coffee and juice with your best friend here.

There was also a swing chair on the terrace. Looking up along the swing chair, I realized that the tree was extremely tall.

I stayed in Lanshan Mansion during this weekend trip. This room gave me the feeling of velvet and a light pink girly feeling. The space in the room was very spacious, and the wall lamp on the wall seemed particularly warm when it was turned on. Sleeping in this room with a pink girl's heart, I always felt like I would have a sweet dream.

Outside the bay window are green plants. One or two wisps are sometimes still and sometimes swaying with the breeze. I sat by the sill and felt the slight drizzle in the afternoon. Such a day is the beautiful May day.

In this storage basket, the B & B has carefully prepared many small items: mosquito repellent, sewing boxes, hair dryers, etc. to meet guests 'home needs during travel.

The items in the bathroom were neatly placed, but at first I couldn't find the toiletries. It turned out that the toiletries were all hidden in this mysterious box. After opening it, I found a lady's bag and washing tools.

What surprised me was the slightly next to the bed. I had the impression that I had never seen a slightly in most hotels and B & Bs where I lived. Guests who have high requirements for sound quality should be very happy to see this.

The large red refrigerator can be said to be the finishing touch of the room. It has a British style. There are also chocolates and other snacks on the refrigerator, which is truly full of sweetness.

Feel the customs of old Shanghai in No. 9 Garden

Yinxiang No. 9 Courtyard is located at No. 9 Linjiang Road. The mottled traces on the outer wall are very consistent with the meaning of a long time. A flavor of old times comes from the face. Jiuhao Bianyuan collects the customs of old Shanghai from the era of national unification. The retro petty bourgeoisie atmosphere can be found everywhere here. The corridor and boudoir both reveal a delicate charm. There is a passage of time and it is left in Jiuhao Bianyuan on Linjiang Road.

[Tags] Old Shanghai, retro, nostalgia

Sometimes, with the song "Shanghai Beach", I often think of old Shanghai. Although I have no connection with that era, this song has left an impression on me. Old Shanghai, once a magnificent Shanghai, will not leave a lonely place at night, the glamorous life in the song and dance hall, and the rickshaws shuttling through the alleys, as if there are old people, recalling the past is like a dream.

Speaking of old Shanghai, there must be Shanghai girls wearing cheongsam, and fashionable women wearing gorgeous cheongsam. They are graceful and enchanting, enjoying the beauty of vanity in Bailemen. Shanghai girls exude a charming atmosphere, with a variety of customs and the intelligence and exquisiteness of urban women. The charm they exude is integrated with the memories of that era.

There is a poetic tatami teahouse in the house. The elegant style of the No. 9 Garden is more reflected in the details. The bright red plum blossoms render the plain white cup body. When viewing it close, you feel that there is a poetic feeling spreading in the house.

The old good years are gone, but you can feel the beautiful artistic conception of the green mountains and clouds in the seclusion, looming, and the fold is written about you and me.

There is a stained glass on the corridor. When sunlight passes through the colorful glass, it will reflect a brilliant light. There are still many old photos hanging on this corridor, and walking step by step is like walking through the waste of time.

The walls in this room are full of flowers, and there is a retro wooden wardrobe in the room. If I light a candle light and bloom warmly, I will feel that I have stayed in an ancient style inn and secretly enjoy every guest room in No. 9 Garden. The styles of the rooms are different, and the specific room types can be checked online.

There is a sun terrace hidden on the third floor. The unique glass seats on the dining table and the long table seem to be in a restaurant in a fairy tale. The simple white candles on the table embellished a beautiful beauty. Looking out the window here at the mountains and rivers of Guilin is really a pleasant enjoyment.

As soon as the beautiful little sister appeared, she immediately became the focus of everyone's camera.

Taste Guilin, come to the shepherd boy to ride a scalper

The East and West Alley in Guilin is the only historical street left over from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are ancient and ancient commercial districts here, and the Shepherd Boy's Restaurant is hidden in the East and West Alley. Looking at the shepherd boy here, you can see the alley and the building connected together. The flower umbrella in the middle of the building adds a touch of charm to the place, which reminds people of the song Su Muzha, where people are listening high in the building and watching pedestrians rush by., arousing nostalgic memories. I like the feeling of having dinner in the courtyard in the evening. The shepherd boy has private seats both indoors and outside. Dining outdoors is accompanied by tiles and green plants. Inside, there are warm candles and light and shadow. When I enter the shepherd boy, the scenery outside the window is fading.

The name of a shepherd boy riding an ox is very interesting and evokes the few remaining lines of poetry in my memory: Children came back early from school, busy taking advantage of the east wind to release paper ducks, and asking where the restaurant was? The shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village from afar.

When it comes to Guilin rural cuisine, it is inseparable from this steamed pork with pumpkin powder. The steamed pork with pumpkin powder originates from Hunan cuisine. The soft and sweet pumpkin combined with the tender and fat pork belly makes a successful dish melt in the mouth.

Most outsiders don't know where Lipu is. After listening to the staff's introduction, I learned that Lipu is also affiliated to Guilin City in Guangxi. So what is the difference between it and the taro pork we usually eat? The soul of this Lipu taro pork actually lies in the taro. The best thing among the taro is Lipu taro. Due to Lipu's superior environment with beautiful mountains and clear waters, the taste is different from other places. The taste is smooth, fragrant and soft. Excellent label. When the staff served the food, they told us that they had to eat the pork and taro together to make it fat but not greasy and leave the aroma of taro in the mouth.

Gongcheng Camellia oleifera is the most special dish on the table. To be precise, this tea is not for drinking but for eating. The unified method of making Camellia oleifera is to use old leaf black tea as the main ingredient, fry it with oil until it is slightly burnt and fragrant, add salt and water to boil, and most of it is boiled with ginger. The taste is strong and astringent, with astringent and spicy. Camellia oleifera is similar to Lei tea in Chaoshan area. It is that fried crispy fruits and fried rice are added to the tea soup. Gongcheng Camellia oleifera has richer ingredients, and stir-fried beans, chopped green onion, coriander and other seasonings are also added to reduce the astringency of Camellia oleifera while bursting with the fresh aroma of Camellia oleifera.

When I first tasted the vinegar blood duck, I thought it was a little strange, but the tip of my tongue gradually fell in love with this special taste. Vinegar blood duck is a local specialty in Guilin. It uses local farmhouse duck as raw material, kills the duck to retain blood, and injects sour vinegar into our own sour jar. With tender ginger or bitter gourd as ingredients, the duck meat is fried until fragrant, and then simmered over slow fire. Pour in the vinegar blood before taking out the pan. This delicacy can only be tasted in Guilin, because only the ducks from Sanjiangkou in Quanzhou in Guilin and the vinegar from the old jar can be made.

When I served this dish, I thought it was a plate of tofu that added icing on the cake. It turned out that this was a local Longsheng Fern Cake brew in Guilin. I had heard of Longsheng Terrace, but I had never seen this Fern Cake brew. The Fern Cake originated from more than 1,000 altitudes. Deep mountains and forests contain the essence of the earth.

Fragrant fried Lijiang shrimp is a must-order dish in Guilin. The swimming shrimp is not large in size, but the meat of the swimming shrimp bred by the Lijiang River water is firm and crisp. You can feel it as a fat shrimp in your mouth.

The breeze blows the green of Diecai Mountain into Mulong Lake

Mulong Lake Scenic Area is located in the urban area of Guilin. It starts from the Li River in the east, ends at Zhongshan North Road in the west, is surrounded by Diecai Mountain in the south, and is adjacent to Dongzhen Road in the north. It is the most important part of Guilin's two rivers and four lakes ring-city water system. If you want to enjoy the scenery of Guilin's mountains and rivers and courtyards together, you can't go wrong to come to Mulong Lake. After the drizzle of this day, there is a little hazy fog, and there is a beautiful artistic conception of misty rain and clouds.

In addition to the aura of lakes and rivers, Mulong Lake Scenic Area also combines literati history and culture. Not far from the entrance, there is Li Jishen's former residence. This is the place where Li Jishen, chairman of the Guangxi Military Government during the revolutionary era, once lived.

Stop in the middle of the bridge and look at the painting pavilion. The breeze gently blows the water and flowers turn, and the Diecai Mountains are dyed with a layer of green. When you enter the Jianghu, you are passionate like a wooden lake.

It was a bit sultry in May. We walked along the lake. Fortunately, some shade of trees covered the heat. The beautiful memories of the journey are not frozen by the beautiful scenery, but by the talking and laughing of a group of friends.

There are many tree-lined trails in the park, which are very eye-catching whether taking scenery or portraits.

On the stage of the scenic area, beautiful sisters and brothers will also perform local folk dances and sing folk songs. Their gorgeous costumes immediately fill the color of the stage. They dance gently and their smiles reveal a charming look. Their performances are wonderful, and what is more worthwhile behind the songs and dances is to explore the stories of those outstanding people, soil, and historical figures in this area.

Hidden in the garden, Guilin's old store Gouweiwang

Gouweiwang is an old local restaurant that has been operating for 35 years in Guilin City. When I come here, I feel that Gouweiwang's store is very atmospheric. In response to the beautiful scenery of Guilin's mountains and rivers, Gouweiwang's architectural style imitating the Tang Dynasty garden is also pleasing to the eye. Before entering the door, I have been attracted by the green shade and colorful purples at the door. For 35 years since it opened its store, its gold medal dishes have been continuously updated and improved. Over the years, it has captured the hearts of many Guilin people and tourists. When you come to Guilin, you must come to Gouweiwang to experience the authentic Guilin taste buds. This Gouweiwang banquet on the Lijiang River has a unique atmosphere and elegant environment that makes people feel happy. According to ordinary consumption, the average person for Gouweiwang is around 60 yuan. Free parking service and dining in a garden-style landscape are definitely enough. Attractive.

[Per capita consumption] 60 yuan

It is said that Gouweiwang's chef team includes chefs from Guangdong, and the Guangdong morning tea in the morning market is also very popular. It was lunch time when I arrived at Gouwei Wang. There were no empty seats on the first floor. Everyone was at a table. Busy waiters kept walking around, which showed the popularity of Gouwei Wang.

There is a jubilant corridor on the second floor. This corridor leads to private rooms. Here, you can feel the style of Gouweiwang's decoration. The entire courtyard seems to be wrapped in green mountains and clear waters, and you can see new green everywhere. The scene is so pleasant.

After entering the private room, I was attracted by the two vivid rockery on the table. When I took a closer look, there was a fisherman's rowing boat in the middle of the rockery. The staff said that this was more in line with Guilin's landscape that is the best in the world and gave guests a beautiful dining environment.

There are not only rockery and fishermen on the dining table, but also a burst of fairy fog. It is said that the beauty of Guilin's mountains and rivers can best be experienced in the cloudy and misty weather.

Lijiang River flavor twist snail, this name is not only interesting, but the dishes are also cute.

Eating crispy donkey meat cold is worth a try. Donkey meat has the effect of replenishing qi and blood and nourishing internal organs. This cold donkey meat is not cold salad, but has an original taste, giving diners a sense of freshness.

The name of Pingle Wujiu Guilin dish is so vivid. The so-called fermented dish is a special eating method in Guilin. It is to add various seasonings to the meat filling, then fill them into the shells made of different vegetables, or steam or stew it to make different brewed dishes. The brewing method will make the food more plump, juicy and flavorful, making it very suitable for serving with rice.

Stone pot Lijiang Yellow Bone Fish. When this stone pot fish is served, the whole table has a spicy taste. Accompanied by the aroma of pepper, the aroma of soy sauce is also emitted. You can feel the flavor of the fish. The yellow-bone fish is very smooth and tender after being stewed in a stone pot. This dish is a bit similar to the taste of pickled cabbage fish, but it is more special than pickled cabbage fish. This is the first time I have tasted it, and friends are worth a try.

The osmanthus cakes bred by Guilin's mountains and rivers are exquisite, smooth and tender, and the sweetness is what I like. I won't feel tired even if I eat a few more pieces.
