I have always wanted to see the golden terraces

I have always remembered the warm times of the past

I have always had money, no time, no leisure, and no money

All along, I always said and said,"I want to go to Guilin"

......

Finally, in the autumn of 2019, I was able to set my itinerary and drive by myself on the golden dragon spine, the quiet yellow yao, and the beautiful Yangshuo landscape...

D1 sets off for Longji

Sitting at a familiar airport, waiting to fly to a new place. Before the body moves, the heart has flown...

Arrive at Guilin Airport at noon and go directly to**** Car rentalIt was convenient and quick to pick up the car. After half an hour, we were already speeding on the highway to the Longji Terrace.

In about 2 hours, you will arrive at the gate of Longji Terrace Scenic Area and enter the scenic area after purchasing your ticket. There is still about an hour's drive from the gate of the scenic area to the Dazhai parking lot. The whole rural road is narrow and the road conditions are poor. Beginners and female drivers should enter carefully!:) Fortunately, there are almost no fork roads. Along the road, you will pass the fork road of Ping 'an Village (which seems to be the only fork road), Changfa Village and several small villages. Changfa Village is relatively lively, with many buses and temporary traffic jams.

Dazhai Parking Lot is right in front of the cable car station. There are managers and security guards here. The bus stop is also here. The order is very good. At the upper end of the cable car is Observation Deck No. 3. It is cloudy and rainy today, and it is Sunday. There are many people taking the cable car, so I changed my plan and went directly to the hotel.

We booked in advance for Longji Dazhai Tiantou VillageLongji No. 1 Sightseeing HotelAfter contacting the hotel by phone, the boss personally drove to pick us up. There is still more than 20 minutes 'drive from Dazhai Parking Lot to Tiantouzhai. The slopes are steep and the road conditions are extremely poor. It is difficult for ordinary private cars to get on it. Self-driving is not recommended.

Finally arrived at the hotel, and the Longji twelve hour mode was activated...

Twelve hours on the dragon's spine. During the harvest season, the mountains are golden and breathtaking. The picture is easy, but I don't have a SLR. It's a pity: )

The hotel we stayed in should have the best location and facilities in the area. Outside the balcony is the Seven Stars Moon Chasing. The uphill slope on the right side of the door is the No. 1 Observation Deck, and the uphill slope on the left side is the No. 2 Observation Deck., both of which are about 15 minutes walking time. We will settle the meal at the hotel. The local area is originally a small village and there are not many choices. The hotel's hygiene conditions are better. I couldn't eat the local chicken pot, and the bamboo tube chicken tasted very good.

Around October 22 this year, Longji Dazhai was harvested. Fortunately, we always pay attention to the news of the Longji Terrace and can see the truth before opening the sickle.

D2 From Longji to Huangyao

At noon, check out after lunch. The boss personally drove us to Dazhai Parking Lot. The owner of the hotel is a young couple. The boss is very polite and the young man is very diligent. I wish them a prosperous business.

We took a tour of the No. 3 observation deck on the cable car. Today is Monday, there are not many people, and the cable car queue only takes about 10 minutes. There is also light rain on the mountain from time to time.

After the cable car returned down the mountain, it was already past 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Running all the way to the ancient town of Huangyao. Guangxi's expressway has not many cars, good road conditions, and good scenery on both sides, so I don't feel tired.

Arriving in Huangyao Ancient Town, it was already evening, almost 7 o'clock. You need to purchase tickets before entering the township.

we bookedJiugushan Hotel, opposite Qianxing Square in the ancient town, which is very convenient. The hotel should be the best in the area and convenient for dining. The hotel restaurant has its own signature "Huangyao Taste".

Although Qianxing Square has barbecue stalls at night, we still dare not entrust our delicate intestines to those stall owners and eat in the hotel.

After dinner, enter the night of Huang Yao.

Huangyao at night is quiet and less noisy than other ancient towns. Isn't it better?

D3 From Huangyao to Yangshuo

Huang Yao looked like this. It was quiet without any noise. It was also the same during the day, so quiet that people's hearts could naturally calm down.

Huang Yao, quietly, there, seemed to be quietly telling the past...

The ancient town is implementing a interception and sewage discharge project. While the river is draining, there is no green water, but if it comes back next time, the water will be clearer.

The ancient town is not very big, and we are already on our way to Yangshuo after 10 a.m.

It only takes about 2 hours by car from Huangyao to Yangshuo, which is not very far. When we arrived in Yangshuo, we checked in firstDays Inn Fute (Yangshuo West Street Branch), the hotel is in a good location with parking at the door. I purchased tickets for the Yulong River bamboo raft in the afternoon and the essence section of the Li River the next morning at the front desk of the hotel. The fares are relatively reasonable. The Yulong River bamboo raft rafting is 160 yuan/person, and the Li River bamboo raft is 120 yuan/person. The bus will pick up and drop off from the hotel.

Yulong River in the afternoon

After returning to the hotel, take a nap.

In the evening, go to the top floor of the hotel and overlook Yangshuo, with a panoramic view of the distant mountains and close to the water town.

Hungry, go out to find food. Turn left when you go out of the hotel, and it's less than 10 minutes 'walk to West Street.

On West Street, filling your stomach is not a problem. Beer fish is a must-eat.

In Yangshuo, we mainly eat beer fish. Sister Xie, Third Sister Xie, and Master Shifu. Every family is delicious, especially Third Sister Xie is the best, or at least it suits our appetite.

D4 lingered in Yangshuo

This morning's itinerary is the Lijiang bamboo raft rafting that I bought yesterday. After breakfast, the car comes to pick it up. Arriving at Xingping Ancient Town Pier, change to the battery car at the terminal and board the raft at Jiuma Huashan. This trip is Jiuma Huashan-a background of twenty yuan-Jiuma Huashan. There is an electric car connection between Jiuma Huashan and Xingping Pier. Bamboo rafts are mobile, different from the man-made bamboo rafts in the Yulong River.

The essence of the Li River landscape lies in this journey. Nine horses painted mountains, yellow cloth reflections, 20 yuan background patterns and more mountains and water, see for yourself.

I remember that year, on our honeymoon trip, we took a big boat to cruise the Li River from Guilin Wharf and disembarked in Yangshuo. At that time, we were still ignorant of our years, and the scenery of that year had become fragments in our memory, leaving only a warm feeling intact. I feel even warmer when I revisit the Lijiang River. The mountains and rivers are still young. In the end, we all live deep in each other's hearts. There is no better life than this, right?

Everything is idealistic and sigh with emotion: )

The arrangements for this afternoon are very loose, without the control of a tour guide, and we can move freely and target the Shili Gallery. Renting a battery car at the entrance of the hotel, the room card is free of deposit, 40 yuan for half a day, which is quite fair. Two people in a car, freely go to Shili Gallery...

Looking at the scenery from the Gongnong Bridge, there is still the Yulong River below.

The big banyan tree is a very big area with only one tree. It's quite fierce.

Moon Mountain. Climb until people are about to collapse before reaching the top of the mountain. Up close, it looks like a little elephant trunk mountain, not quite like the moon...

When I was going down the mountain and preparing to leave, I turned around inadvertently and felt the moon. It turned out that standing at the entrance of the mountain gave me the most feeling of the moon. Sweating all over in vain: )

D5 Return to Guilin from Yangshuo

It is cloudy today and there is no sunrise to watch. Check-out after breakfast. Before returning to Guilin, I will take a walk to Xianggong Mountain first, which is on the way in the general direction.

The road into the mountain is not easy to walk. If you come to Xianggong Mountain to watch the sunrise, it is best to join a local tour. It is not recommended to drive yourself. The Gaode map is a magical thing that took us there in about an hour. The entrance to the scenic spot is almost to the top of the mountain, so the climbing distance is not very long, and it takes 5 minutes to reach the top.

Looking at the mountains, the water, the clouds, the boats, and the peaks and forests, I feel like I am in heaven and a fairyland...

The picture is relaxed, but I don't have a SLR. I feel sorry again: )

If you come to Yangshuo, please remember to visit Xianggong Mountain to ensure that it is worthwhile. Haha...

Xianggong Mountain is not big, it is just a three-story viewing platform, with different perspectives at each level. "Pa","Pa"... It didn't take long to have fun. After that, he went down the mountain and set out for Guilin.

They arrived in Guilin City at noon. After discussion, they unanimously decided to go to Elephant Trunk Mountain first.

Elephant Trunk Mountain, a landmark in Guilin, is a must-visit. Although Elephant Trunk Mountain can also be seen outside the wall, I think it is better to buy tickets to enter the scenic spot, and the perspective is more classic. Otherwise, why should I charge for tickets?

Click a card and travel here. Then check in at the hotel.

The hotel in Guilin was bookedHampton Inn XiufengParking is very convenient. The hotel is clean, quiet, typical business hotel. Breakfast only. The neighborhood is not very lively, so if you are looking for food, you still have to drive out.

Dinner is a mustChunji Roast Goose, we arrived at the store before 6 o'clock and were already in line. Business was booming. However, the roast goose is definitely first-class, and the various dishes are also first-class. This is a restaurant that you must check in when you come to Guilin. The price is not expensive, and this trip is not in vain.

D6 Home from Guilin

It is very relaxing and comfortable to sleep until you wake up naturally. The breakfast at this hotel is still reasonable. Check out after breakfast and go to Duxiu Peak Royal City.

When I reached the top of the mountain, I understood why the government refused Xu Xiake to climb to the top of Duxiu Peak. This place can have a panoramic view of Guilin's Laocheng District.

That dragon and phoenix lock is interesting. Many young people are competing to take photos. Lock the lock??:)

After leaving the royal city, it is "dongxixiang", a commercial project that should still be under development. The "alley" model is no stranger, wide and narrow alleys, gonggu alleys... Generally speaking, copies will get out of shape. In the development of commercial real estate, we must carefully find the core of local culture and folk customs.

In the afternoon, I had lunch in East and West Alley, and then returned to the airport to return the car and wait for the airport.

The final destination of every trip must be your home. Whenever I am tired from wandering, my bags are empty, and what I am eager to do is go home.

Guilin, passing by quickly, my heart has returned to its nest...
