preface

Guilin's mountains and rivers dominate the world, and Yangshuo's mountains and rivers dominate Guilin. Guilin has always been a place my mother wanted to go. It was during the summer vacation between my mother and I. We set out from Shandong and Jilin and met in Guilin, Guangxi, to start our 3.5-day tour.

? DAY1 Guilin: Jingjiang Palace-Elephant Trunk Mountain-Two Rivers and Four Lakes
? DAY2 Yangshuo: Gudong Waterfall-Xingping Ancient Town-Lijiang River-Impression of Third Sister Liu-West Street
? DAY3 Yangshuo: Xianggong Mountain-Yulong River-Jiuxian-Fuli Bridge
? DAY4 Longji Terrace

DAY1

?? It was already noon when the plane landed. For me who was in the south for the first time, the weather was not very hot, but in order to avoid the direct sun at noon, I went directly to the hotel to take a nap. The B & B hotel chosen by the hotel was relatively literary and artistic, just on Zhongshan South Road. Zhongshan Road and Jiefang Road are the two most prosperous streets in Guilin. You can stay nearby for the first day, making it convenient to visit various attractions. In addition, Guilin is located between Yangshuo and Longji Terrace. Whether you go to Yangshuo or Longji, you have to book your travel methods one day in advance, so it is better to visit Guilin on the first day.

My first impression of Guilin is that the people here are very enthusiastic. Airport buses or taxi drivers are willing to tell you what's fun, but just ignore those roadside ticket sales and work. If they are unreliable, they may also rip off customers.

Jingjiang wangfu

This is where "Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world" comes from. The Duxiu Peak in Jingjiang Palace is located on the central axis of Guilin. This is also an AAAAA scenic spot, so its status can be imagined, but its viewing and cost performance are a little worse. Locals say it is a place where I don't regret it but go even more

Personally, I think it is very similar to the Forbidden City in Shenyang and the Zhanshan Temple in Qingdao. Young people probably don't like it very much

elephant trunk Hill

The Jingjiang Palace + Elephant Trunk Mountain package ticket is 118 yuan, which seems to be cheaper than buying it separately. It can also be used for other attractions.
Elephant Trunk Mountain is a landmark building in Guilin. Xiangshan Park is not very big and the mountains are not very high. Guilin must check in.

I still like this kind of mountain that can be climbed in 20 minutes. The weather is also good, and I can have a concave shape on the observation deck.

two Rivers and four lakes

The two rivers and four lakes are suitable for night tours. You can walk or take a cruise ship. The cruise ship costs about 190 yuan in 90 minutes. You need to book tickets from a travel agency in advance. There are travel agencies large and small on both sides of the local roads in Guilin, or you can book online. The prices are all the same. We are walking. It's not bad to experience the local leisure and entertainment after tea. You can also board the Sun and Moon Tower (Tickets are required, and there are almost no attractions in Guilin that do not charge tickets.) Standing at a high place to take a look at the scenery, but a G.O. recommended that I go to Yi Coffee near the two rivers and four lakes. A cup of coffee at around 30 yuan can overlook the two rivers and four lakes. Night view of the four lakes and Elephant Trunk Mountain, but we didn't go due to time reasons.

Taking pictures???
Value for money by boat?? (I don't think it's much different from other parks)
Walking Tour Recommended Index???? (Anyway, it doesn't cost money, so it's good to digest food after a meal)

DAY2

I got up early in the morning and drove directly to Yangshuo (if you travel freely, you can sign up for a local tour or charter a car). First, I tasted Guilin specialty rice noodles. The locals said they all like to eat this stewed rice noodle.

I'm quite used to this taste. Cour beans are my favorite. I took a photo and added three spoonfuls?

It's so great to come to Gudong Waterfall in summer. Climbing waterfalls and walking waterways are good choices for both children and adults. However, as a foot who has never been through wind and rain, under the washing of water waves and straw sandals, a few crystal clear water spirits emerged.

In addition to climbing the waterfall, there are also ladders (free), sliding ropes (charged), roller coasters (charged), etc. The sliding ropes can change the angle of the mountain in 2 minutes. If you are interested, you can experience it, but the time is too short and the cost performance is not high. Climbing the waterfall, you can either get a strong raincoat, or you can just soak it through like me. It doesn't work to spend money once. You can buy your shoes from him, which costs 5 yuan a pair.

Xingping Ancient Town

It is said to be an ancient town, but it is actually quite commercial. We came here for afternoon tea after lunch, sat down to draw, and experienced the local leisure afternoon while avoiding the scorching heat.

The essence of the Li River, that is, the background of 20 yuan, is also in Xingping. After afternoon tea, we came here to check in. The Osprey took a group photo for 10 yuan. It's pretty and you can consume it, but you can take the photos yourself, and you will have to pay extra to develop them.
The osprey is really super cute and can be touched. The child next to him has been clamoring for Dad to bring one home.

Play in the water, float water, and watch fishermen fishing. I am very happy. You can go and visit Jiuma Painting Mountain again.

impression Liu sanjie

The real-life landscape performance directed by Zhang Yimou has local characteristics and is quite spectacular, but it is not suitable for children. If you bring children here, you can go to the 5D performance of the Eternal Love.

In fact, it was quite difficult for me to choose from at that time. I wanted to go to both, but because Qiangu Love existed in many cities, and apart from adding local characteristics, everything else was very good. Third Sister Liu could only go at night, and Qiangu Love could do it day and night, so if I had time, I could love Qiangu Love Third Sister Liu during the day and night

Yangshuo West Street

Similar to the commercial street in Nanluogu Lane in Beijing, many Internet celebrity shops and bars can come here for dinner and check in delicious food. I didn't eat much this time. After eating a pure natural farmhouse for a few days, I didn't have much say. Friends who have been there have already been local recommended restaurants: Xiaonanguo, Chunji Roast Goose, and Master Beer Fish (locals eat farmhouse beer fish, but this one is more Internet celebrity and is not cost-effective)
At night, I stayed near Ubud Town, not far from West Street, more than 20 minutes 'walk. It was very quiet. If I lived in West Street, it would be a bit noisy.

I was quite relaxed for the past two days and didn't feel tired from traveling. I have to get up early today

Xianggong Mountain

I got up at 3:40 in the morning. In order to realize my wish to see the sunrise, my mother originally said she would be with me, but she wouldn't be able to get up in the morning? expected

The shuttle + ticket is booked for 90 yuan per person, which is quite cost-effective. The normal ticket is 60 yuan per person. It takes about an hour to drive from Yangshuo Ubud, and it is all on mountain roads without street lights. It is not recommended to drive yourself even if you are on a self-driving tour.

The door opens at 4:30 in the morning, and we arrived at 5:00. The best locations here are already occupied, but the light is late here, the sky starts to gradually light at 5:30, and the sunrise is around 6:10, so it's not too early to come here to take pictures. If you come here to take pictures after the rain, it's a beautiful day. It's shrouded in clouds and clouds, and it's just like a fairyland. I haven't rained in the past few days when I came to Guilin. I just don't like rainy days. It's good

Yulong River

After watching the sunrise on Xianggong Mountain, we had breakfast and arrived at the Yulong River. The Yulong River is suitable for cycling. Electric vehicles? Can't ride on the river, bicycle? It's more convenient. It's very comfortable to sing birds in the water.

If you don't know how to ride a bicycle, you can also choose a full bamboo raft. We ride the upper section and the lower section of the bamboo raft (the lower section is beautiful). It's really comfortable to float on the bamboo raft, and it's not as dry as riding, but what you feel when riding is another scenery and the atmosphere of Hotan Garden

??♀? Cycling route:
Roadside Car Rental--The Path Behind the Ancient Love--Jima Wharf--Shili Gallery
?? Note:
Be sure to protect yourself from sun. I thought it would be okay to wear sun protection clothes with 7 cents sleeves, so I didn't try to protect myself. As a result, my forearms and hands were a little sunburned

This place near Jima Wharf is really beautiful. Can we stop and take photos? River embankments, fields, mountains and rivers, they are really artists of nature

bamboo raft

You must sit on the bamboo raft in the Yulong River. It is hand-cranked here. There is zero pollution and zero noise. Let me sit here all day

TIPS:
There is a tip (20 yuan) for the bamboo raft supporter. He will let you take pictures no matter how you take, and he will also let you paddle slowly. If you don't, that's fine. Everything is dangerous. Just sit on the chair honestly.

It is all posing, and the inner me is like this:

Inner OS: Sit tight, sister. Leave the rowing matter to my brother??♀?

jiuxian County

I went to Jiuxian County to eat a farmhouse, made my own cake, and visited a famous secret garden that foreigners prefer to go to

Fuli Bridge

Fuli Bridge, the highest and most round single-hole stone bridge in Yangshuo, Yulong Bridge, the largest single-hole stone bridge in Guangxi, and Xiangui Bridge, the first ancient bridge in Guangxi, can be seen if you sit on a bamboo raft. Fortunately, I also saw a rainbow?

I stayed in a B & B at night, close to Guilin North Railway Station. I can take the high-speed train to the Longji Terrace in 10 minutes early tomorrow morning.

DAY4 Longji Terrace

The Longji Terrace is really far away in Longsheng County. It takes 2 hours to drive to the ticket gate, and then it takes 1 hour to get from the ticket gate to the scenic spot. There is a landslide in the middle section, otherwise it would be faster.

Jinkeng Terrace

?? Healthy and heat-relieving osmanthus ice powder

?? Longji Special Bamboo Rice

The Jinkeng Terrace we went to is also the largest terrace. Walking up and down the cable car, taking photos along the way, and eating specialties

TIPS: It is now the passion fruit season. It is 5 yuan, 6 yuan, and 7 yuan per catty. It is very cheap. If you buy more, you can send home

Live near the airport at night, and then sleep for the night before flying home. It's quite convenient to get free shuttle service near the airport

PostScript

This time I am taking my mother to play. My mother likes mountains and rivers and has a lot of fun. My mother usually goes to bed early, never exceeding 10:00. I don't get up early, so except for DAY3, our itinerary is around 9:00 in the morning to 9:30 in the evening. I usually see too much high-rise buildings and too much fast-paced life. It's quite pleasant to come here to quietly enjoy nature and immerse myself in it

Written at the end

? Guilin Yangshuo 3-day attractions: Elephant Trunk Mountain, Two Rivers and Four Lakes, Li River, Yulong River, Shili Gallery, Gudong Waterfall, Impression of Sister Liu or Ancient Qing, West Street, Xianggong Mountain
? You can add another Longji Terrace in 4 days (the golden terraces are the most beautiful from October 1 to October 20)
? You can play it all in 5 days: Elephant Trunk Mountain, Two Rivers and Four Lakes, Li River, Yulong River, Shili Gallery, Gudong Waterfall, Impression of Sister Liu, Ancient Love, West Street, Xianggong Mountain, World Waitaoyuan, Jingjiang Palace, Dongxi Alley, Reed Flute Rock (it is said to be more beautiful than Yinziyan, with fewer people, and cooler caves), Internet celebrity hot air balloons. The best tourist season in Guilin is from April to November. You can choose this time to travel
? If you think it's too tiring to make the above strategies yourself, you can find a boutique group. We played in Guilin ourselves on the first day, and we went to Ctrip for the next three days. With G.O., we have a full-time "driver + nanny + tour guide + photographer". We don't need to worry at all. We will help you carry your luggage when you meet someone who is considerate, parents who think it's impossible to play with their children, girls who think it's not good to take photos with their boyfriends, and girls who think they don't have anyone to take pictures of them, we can all choose. But my mother is impetuous. Don't you like afternoon tea very much, but you only like taking photos in scenic spots? But this G.O. is also very good at it. I took my photos of the scenery, and the portraits were taken by the G.O. Gang. Brother Huang also took a drone to help us take photos and cut the videos until midnight

? Accommodation: It's still relatively cheap here
? Meal: Each meal is 50 yuan per person. In addition to the above recommendations, we also recommend tofu brew. All kinds of brew are specialties here. As a person who doesn't like soy products, I can't stop after tasting it
? Transportation: I feel that the transportation here is not very convenient. Buses do not extend in all directions, and there are no subways. The starting price for a taxi starts at 9 yuan during the day and 11 at night. However, if you don't want to follow a group, you can still charter a car. After all, time out for fun is the most valuable. A chartered car is about 100 yuan a day. If you feel that it is not worthwhile to travel alone, you can also take the bus. The bus is 27 yuan/person. Take it at Guilin South Bus Station

When I wrote travel notes for the first time, it seemed like I wrote more like a guide? After seeing different scenery and meeting all kinds of people, I want to tidy up my mood and devote myself to work and study again?
