preface

Everyone says that Guilin is beautiful. From ancient times to the present, Guilin's mountains and rivers have influenced many heroes and warmed many women in water towns. The famous writer Chen Miao once used "The boat is on the blue waves, and the people are swimming in paintings" to describe the beautiful scenery of Guilin in his article "Guilin's Mountains and Waters Are the Best in the World".

In my opinion, the beauty of Guilin is reflected in its scenery and its warm lifestyle, just like the people of Guangxi who are immersed in the warmth of Guilin's mountains and rivers. I like Guilin after the rain. There is a ray of sunshine in the slightly humid air, which makes the mountains greener and the water brighter.

preliminary preparation

Traveling to Guilin was a very sudden decision. Just because I browsed the scenery of Guilin on the Internet one day and browsed the food of Guilin more, I was deeply attracted by them and resolutely went there. So I booked the high-speed train that night and planned to take a short three-day and two-night trip. There should always be more such motivation in life.

Preliminary preparations: Panasonic GF9 camera, thick clothes (Guangxi is colder than Guangzhou, it is recommended that friends who go in winter can read the weather forecast and prepare suitable clothes), charger (charging treasure), student ID card

attractions recommended

Xiangshan Guilin

As a landmark landscape in Guilin, Xiangshan is a must-miss check-in attraction for tourists. Moreover, there is also a very interesting legend in Xiangshan: It is said that the Jade Emperor had an elephant on his horse. One day, the Jade Emperor took it down to the earth. When he was about to go back, the elephant missed the beautiful scenery of Guilin and refused to go back, so he went to the Li River to drink water. The Jade Emperor was very angry and pulled out the sword at his waist and stabbed it at the elephant. The elephant turned into a rocky mountain, namely Elephant Trunk Mountain, and the hilt of the sword became the Puxian Pagoda on the Xiangshan Mountain. Therefore, it is also named Elephant Trunk Mountain or Xiangshan. From a distance, Xiangshan is green and lush, like a patron saint, protecting the safety of the people of Guilin. Tourists visit it and feel deeply healed.

Double Moon Tower;

Guilin's Sun and Moon Twin Towers are also attracting attention. The Rita is currently the tallest copper tower in the world. The copper tower is located in the center of the beautiful fir lake. It is China's first all-copper pagoda. It is 42 meters high and has a total of 9 floors. It is cast with 600 tons of copper. There is a 10-meter-long tunnel at the bottom of the lake connected to another 7-storey pagoda. The twin towers form an interesting contrast, making it a unique place for the two rivers and four lakes. I prefer to watch the Twin Towers of Sun and Moon at night than browsing the Twin Towers of Sun and Moon during the day. The two towers, one gold and one silver, look dazzling against the darkness. The light reflects on the lake water, leaking out unique light. I love Guilin at this time.

Guilin West Street

If the attractions above are quiet, then the West Street is moving. Everywhere is the life of Guilin people, and the bustling streets are full of fireworks. You can see it everywhere, including small vendors shouting and hawking, shops wearing characteristic ethnic costumes, as well as various scattered shops and snacks. In addition to tourists, there are also local students, uncles and aunts. Even if you walk a little further, you can also meet aunties dancing in the square beside the park. This kind of closed-to-earth life really surprised me.

hotel recommendations

Venus Royal Hotel No. 1：

In addition to meeting these warm scenery and people when coming to Guilin, the luckiest thing is to stay at this hotel. I chose this hotel because of its good reviews, its proximity to attractions, and the right price, so I booked it. Unexpectedly, this hotel gave me a big surprise.

Comfort, cleanliness and peace of mind are my first impression of him. When I entered the room, I found a different place. Fully automatic curtains are opposite Guilin's famous scenic spot, the Sun and Moon Twin Towers. When you lie in bed, you can view Guilin's scenery 360° without dead corners.

Through the small balcony of the room, you can also see the scenery of Xiangshan Mountain and the Shuangyue Tower. You deserve such a room with mountain and water views.

The first floor of the hotel is also equipped with Japanese ingredients for Chrysanthemum and Sakura. The business package only costs 35-55, which is very cost-effective! The portion is something that a girl can't finish. Girls or boys who eat a lot can challenge them ~

In addition to daily food, the hotel also provides afternoon tea and Western food, which can be enjoyed by guests on the top floor. There are a variety of foods for everyone to choose from.

As a heavy lover of chocolate, I chose chocolate products without hesitation, and it did not disappoint me. The rich cocoa flavor and the silky texture make me want to drink a few more cups.

The food in the restaurant at night is equally popular with me. Not only are there many varieties, but also have diverse flavors. I personally prefer their pizza and lobster.

Lobster tastes very delicious and is suitable for dating gentlemen and ladies from petty bourgeoisie ~ Think about how sweet it is to hold your lover, watch the beautiful scenery of Guilin, and eat exquisite food.

Venus Royal Hotel No. 2:

In line with the principle of experiencing different hotels in Guilin, I asked the front desk staff about different styles of hotels nearby, and he recommended the second store of Venus Royal Hotel. The first store features viewing towers, and the second store features viewing mountains. In this way, I can enjoy all the beautiful scenery of Guilin while lying in bed.

And today, you can also experience their tea cultivation culture and visit the mountain house. So I also hurried over.

If the style of the first store is exquisite and comfortable, then the feeling that the second store gives me is a combination of intelligence and ancient style, and the surrounding area reveals a sense of technology.

The 1.8×2-meter bed is very comfortable, with light switches and sockets within easy reach. The lights also come with different modes, which is very considerate.

After putting down my luggage for a short time at the hotel, I booked a time with the staff to experience tea repair and then returned to the hotel room to rest. Happy time passed quickly, and it was soon time to experience tea repair. I was a little excited about experiencing it for the first time.

Experiencing tea training is a wonderful thing. She can teach you to relax again from the inside out. In that hour, all you do is taste tea seriously, focus on the present things, and chat with the tea master.

Not only can you increase your understanding of tea culture, but you can also get rid of your distractions and enjoy your own hour.

The tea repair room is adjacent to the "Jianshanshe" B & B, which is a tea culture B & B established in conjunction with Zen tea culture. I also had the honor to visit this legendary B & B

Antiquities were my first reaction when I saw a B & B, but when I opened the door, I found a different place. The retro style front hall, paired with a bathtub facing the entire Xiangshan Mountain, seems as if Xiangshan Mountain is welcoming you. It is equipped with a smart toilet and a 24-hour housekeeper. I think it truly combines ancient style and modernity.

There are beautiful scenery and intelligent beauty inside the house, and there is a fairyland on earth outside the house. You can feel the rise from the beginning of the day to the sunset

After visiting the B & B, the sky was getting dark, and the hotel environment still did not disappoint me.

The fading afterglow shines on the dining table, and you can enjoy the unique landscape in the restaurant. Walking on the terrace, you can feel the breeze blowing over. At dusk, you can watch the sunset of the sun, slowly shrouded in darkness, and the beauty of night falling.

The food still amazes me. The steak is tender and juicy when bitten, and paired with a slightly spicy black pepper sauce to give your taste buds a different feeling

In addition to steak, saury is also one of the very special foods I have eaten in that hotel. Saury is paired with avocado, which tastes fresh and not greasy.

afterwords

In the blink of an eye, the three-day trip ended. Although the weather was a little humid and foggy in the past two days, it could not stop my love for Guilin. Travel is about healing people, and as you travel more and more paths, you experience more and more. Live with your heart. There are many beautiful scenery and interesting souls in the world.
