Let's talk about it that air tickets to Guilin in winter are cheap, and the cost of accommodation and meals is relatively low. Is this not better than going to the island and crowded with people? Of course, we still have to see if we are interested when traveling. Next, I will tell you all the fun things about Guilin in winter.

Guihua Commune

"Guilin, Guilin, where osmanthus trees grow into forests; osmanthus osmanthus and osmanthus, the fragrance spreads to thousands of households." When you come to Guilin in winter, you first recommend to experience the local culture. The osmanthus Commune in the urban area is a good place. The scenic spot consists of four parts: Osmanthus Culture Experience Hall, Osmanthus Culture Theme Park, Theme Hotel under the Osmanthus Tree, and Multi-functional Classroom of the Study and Practice Base.

The Osmanthus Culture Experience Hall is the core part of the scenic area, where you can learn a lot about osmanthus. What is relatively rare is that there is a osmanthus seed unearthed from the Zengpiyan site in Guilin in the experience hall. After testing by relevant departments, it has a history of 10,000 years and is the oldest osmanthus seed existing in the world.

The experience hall has always been there, but in winter because of the Spring Festival. In the scenic area, you can also experience folk customs such as handmade paper-cutting and osmanthus cake making. Moreover, many scenes in the scenic area are local "Internet celebrity check-in spots", and the photos are very good! Overall, it is a venue worth visiting.

Wangcheng prayed for blessings

Guilin Duxiu Peak Royal City Scenic Area is the most worthwhile historical and cultural scenic spot in the city, and the unique "blessing culture" of the Royal City is also very appropriate to the theme of the Spring Festival. Therefore, when traveling to Guilin in winter, you must learn about the blessings of Wangcheng!

Let's first talk about the historical background of Jingjiang Palace in the scenic area. The owner of this place was originally Zhu Shouqian, the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty (the nephew of Zhu Yuanzhang); in the Qing Dynasty, it was Guangxi Gongyuan, from which four top scholars emerged; in modern times, it was the Guangxi Provincial Government and Guangxi Normal University Campus... It has been through more than 600 years since then. Behind the palace is Duxiu Peak, which is really more beautiful as its name! Throughout the dynasties, literati and literati left cliff stone carvings here. Among them, Wang Zhenggong's original work of "Guilin's Mountains and Waters Are the Best in the World" in the Southern Song Dynasty 800 years ago comes from this. Walking through the entire Jingjiang Royal City is like reading a brief history of Guilin.

Why is the scenic spot unique to a "blessing culture"? To be precise, it should be "Fushou Culture", which is also the core of our auspicious culture. Due to the numerous cliff stone carvings with the characters "Fu" and "Shou" on the mountain of Duxiu Peak, it has been highly respected for thousands of years. Nowadays, the scenic spot also has tourist experience projects secretly developed by the Royal Palace. During the New Year, you can create a "blessing" letter by yourself and take it home. Whether it is given to others or kept for yourself, it is very beautiful.

thousand miles of rivers and mountains

There is a mountain called Diecai in the urban area of Guilin. Tourists may not want to climb Diecai Mountain in winter, but it doesn't matter! There is now a digital art exhibition "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains 3.0" in the Diecai Mountain Scenic Area. Watching it indoors is warm and dreamy.

This exhibition hall integrates the "Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers" collected in the Forbidden City with digital technology, and uses new and national-trend art forms such as digital projection, virtual imaging, and interactive capture to present an amazing oriental aesthetic conception. Being in it is like entering a fairy tale world, and you are part of the picture of mountains and rivers. The novelty is extremely high!

Cooking tea around the stove in two rivers and four lakes

When visiting the urban area of Guilin, cruise ships in the Two Rivers and Four Lakes Scenic Area are super classic routes. But this year's winter, especially during the Spring Festival, there are new tricks! That is, you can experience a recently over-hot pot cooking tea on a cruise ship (no charcoal fire, high safety factor).

The cruise routes for the two rivers and four lakes are: Riyue Bay Wharf-Shan Lake-Rong Lake-Gui Lake-Mulong Lake-Riyue Bay Wharf. The whole route is very distinctive: elegant pagodas and pavilions decorate the ancient famous mountains and rivers, and Riyue Bay and Mulong Lake, where cruise ships pass, are beyond the reach. Poetically enjoy desserts and green tea on the cruise ship, taste the city of Guilin placed in the mountains and rivers, and truly feel the style of Guilin's mountains and rivers that dominate the world.

It is excellent to take photos of the two rivers and four lakes, whether on a cruise ship or in the scenic area after the event. Especially the scenery of Mulong Lake is really good, because there are towers, bridges, and some antique buildings, which is very suitable for young ladies to take photos with cheongsam or Hanfu.

Guihai Qinglan

In addition to making tea around the stove, camping barbecues have also been a tourist hotspot in the past two years. So when coming to Guilin, I have recommended going to the two rivers and four lakes to make tea around the stove on a cruise ship, and then I recommend everyone to come to Guihai Qinglan to experience camping and barbecues. Mountains and rivers here depend on each other and are picturesque. There is also a particularly large grassland, which is excellent for viewing and taking photos.

It is recommended to come here in the evening. Maybe you don't want to live in a tent in Guilin in winter, but you will definitely like the Guihai and Qinglan in the evening. Under the slightly ambiguous moonlight, light up your own sky, and then the barbecue plate creaks. It is best to have a barbecue dinner for yourself, your friends, or your lover. The barbecue is really fragrant and the atmosphere is really good.

Many people in Danxia in Guilin may be like me before. They only know that Guilin's mountains and rivers are typical karst landforms, but they didn't expect that there are scenic spots with Danxia landforms. In Ziyuan County under the jurisdiction of Guilin City, there is a Danxia Scenic Area that is very worth checking in. Guilin Danxia Scenic Area is divided into two parts: Gumuchong and Bajiao Village, and the experience is very different.

In Gumuchong Scenic Area, outdoor sports here are recommended. Younger tourists or the less daring can go on forest expeditions; but the most worth playing is the Ferrada. The flying rada in Gumuchong is about 520 meters long and takes about 1.5 hours. To be honest, this project is quite a test of physical strength and courage. Climb in the New Year, and the new year will surely rise steadily.

Tourists who want to play Ferrada must do what they can, follow the instructions of the scenic area coach, and wear protective measures. The Feilada experience in the scenic area is 180 yuan/person.

The Bajiao Village section on the other side is a good place to climb mountains and watch the scenery. It was once rated as one of the "Seven Most Beautiful Danxia in China" by China National Geographic magazine, with its main peak at an altitude of 818 meters. Before climbing, you will pass through a bamboo forest, which is also a good place to take photos.

The climbing intensity of Bajiao Village is not too great, and the route is very reasonable and there is no turning back. The core landscape of the Dragon Ridge Ladder is very shocking whether you are in it or aerial photography. It is also the most tiring part of the mountain climbing. Overall, it is scary but not dangerous. Even small tourists can walk down it. The scenery on this road is really good.

Longsheng hot spring

Guilin is really a city rich in tourism resources, including several counties within its jurisdiction. I just talked about the Danxia Scenic Area in Ziyuan County, and now let's talk about Longsheng County. Longsheng County is still relatively famous because it has the world-renowned Longji Terrace.

In addition to Longji terraces, Longsheng County also has Longsheng Ailing Hot Spring, which is dubbed the "No. 1 Spring in South China". The hot spring is located in a forest area 32 kilometers away from Longsheng County, where Jackie Chan's film "Escape from the Jedi" was once filmed. Driving all the way through the mountain road here, you will find that there are lush mountains and lush forests along the way, which is full of mystery.

Hot spring water flows out of rock formations 1200 meters underground and contains more than a dozen trace elements beneficial to the human body such as lithium, strontium, iron, zinc, and copper. It meets the national indicators for mineral water and drinking water and can be drunk directly. The 27 different styles of soup ponds have good privacy. Wouldn't it be beautiful to soak in the soup to preserve health and enjoy the luxuries of the forest?

Tickets for Longsheng Hot Spring are 100 yuan/person. If you book a hotel, you can waive the hot spring ticket. There are also a number of farmhouse B & Bs and local restaurants in the surrounding area that can provide accommodation. It is still recommended to book a hotel in the hot spring center, so that it is close to the Tangchi, walk less in winter to avoid catching a cold, and the hotel's parking lot, restaurants and other infrastructure are also better.
