Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world. While my mothers are still young, I will take them for more walks. In the past, I didn't use Ctrip much, but this time Ctrip issued a diamond card for the medical doctor. He will really become his loyal fan from now on. Booking air tickets and hotels saves a lot of money compared to other websites. We successfully met in Guilin at 3 p.m. and checked into Venus Royal Hotel Xiangshan Park Branch. The free medical room sent by Ctrip is really great. Very clean and upgraded room type with a mountain view!
After arriving at the hotel, I took a short rest and walked to Xiangbei Mountain Park.
Walking slowly in the park, taking more photos of the two mothers, I was happy. In the evening, I found a random Guilin rice noodle shop and ate two bowls of Guilin rice noodles. As night fell, I walked to the Sun and Moon Twin Towers. The ticket was a little expensive, so I walked in the park. It was very quiet and the night view was beautiful.
The next day, we will take a cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo (you can book a package online in advance for the hotel to receive Guilin Mopanshan Wharf plus a ferry ticket). The boat journey is 3.5 hours. Yangshuo is downstream, so the boat is a one-way trip. Fortunately, I had taken the initiative in advance. Otherwise, I would have wanted to drive all the way from Guilin to Beihai. I had rented the car, so I didn't feel it later.Yes, so I returned the rented car and relied on public transportation for all my trips. Later, I discovered that Guilin Beihai was really not suitable for self-driving tours, and Guilin Yangshuo basically used no parking lot.
Arriving at Yangshuo Wharf after twelve noon, you can basically deliver it to the hotel for 10-15 yuan. As soon as he got on the bus, the driver said he had an impression that Sanjie Liu's ticket could be bought cheaply. After thinking about it, it should be reliable and buy it at 150 yuan. The hotel has upgraded the room type to a balcony room with a great view.
Afternoon tea delivered by the hotel.
Across the overpass is West Street.
The impression of Third Sister Liu is really worth seeing. Photos or videos cannot restore their visual shock. After watching them, I still admire Director Zhang Yimou.
On the third day, we chartered a car to Shuielow and took a bamboo raft. The driver was waiting for us downstream. A bamboo raft can seat two people, 160 yuan, about 40 minutes. The scenery on both sides is too beautiful, so you must take a bamboo raft when you come to Guilin. When the bamboo raft docked, the bamboo raft workers asked for a tip. It was not easy to paddle the bamboo raft in the sun, so they expressed their feelings.
The Jinshuiyan Cave recommended by the taxi driver after riding the bamboo raft was not part of the plan, so it was quite interesting to enter.
Later, the driver said that he would take us to eat some special chicken, but he was not interested in it and found that the driver's attitude immediately deteriorated. While taking photos at the Shili Gallery and Gongnong Bridge in the back, they also sent WeChat to urge us to get on the bus quickly.
Moon Mountain
Shili gallery
After visiting the Shili Gallery Scenic Area, drive about half an hour to Yangshuo Station.
Yangshuo takes the bullet train to Beihai. There is no direct train, so you change at Binyang.
Take a tourist photo.
It took five hours to arrive in Beihai. The owner of the B & B was from Sichuan and was very enthusiastic. He picked us up at the train station to the hotel.
After we slept and woke up, the hotel owner drove us to the dock. We booked a package ticket for Weizhou Island round-trip Beihai + Weizhou Island chartered one-day tour + Chinese food online in advance. 568 per person, medical care and over 60 years old are exempted, so the three spent 1294.
The wind and waves were very rough that day, and many people on the boat became seasick. They wanted to get up and go to the bathroom halfway, but the boat swayed so badly that they gave up. After more than an hour of bumpy travel, we finally arrived at Weizhou Island. Weizhou Island is hotter than the Beihai Sea and has a very hot sea breeze. When I landed on the island, because the medical staff had preferential tickets, the customer service did not make it clear when booking the ticket the day before. In addition, the ticket seller at the Weizhou Island Ticket Office himself did not know how to operate, which delayed me and several other medical staff. It took more than an hour to successfully land on the island.
The Catholic Church on Weizhou Island, which lasted for more than 150 years, was built by the French.
The driver of the chartered car said that no one wanted the jackfruit growing savagely on the island, and it was basically impossible to export it due to inconvenient transportation.
This is the best and most cost-effective group meal I have ever had. There are five dishes for three people. The key is that every dish tastes great.
The boss also introduced the cat-eye snail that is only produced in Weizhou Island this season, which gave him a lot of insight.
The colorful beach was too hot to go down, so I took photos on it, and got its name because it reflected colorful light under the sunlight. But people who went down to see it said it was not as good as it looked up.
I originally booked a return ticket for 10:15 the next day, but I was delayed for more than an hour on the island. I wanted to change the later ticket back to Beihai. I contacted WeChat customer service and said that I wanted to change the ticket. The customer service actually told me that the flight was suspended the next day! The driver who chartered our car said that only the ships from Beihai to Weizhou Island should be suspended, but there were still ships that would take us back to Beihai from Weizhou Island. He called the customer service again, and the customer service who answered the phone said that she had not heard of the suspension of the flight. The two customer service customers had different opinions. Weizhou Island is a beautiful island, but the experience is too bad. Nothing goes smoothly from booking tickets, boarding the island to changing tickets. Fortunately, a staff member in the Alligator Mountain Scenic Area helped me confirm that the sailing was indeed suspended for the next two days, so we urgently changed our reservation for the last boat that day and returned to Beihai. Boat is the only mode of transportation on Weizhou Island. If you are trapped on the island, just treat yourself as an islander growing jackfruit, haha.
Lighthouse in Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area
Crocodile Mountain, which was almost given up because it was too hot, is the core scenic spot of Weizhou Island. The two mothers didn't go up. Walking on the plank road required physical strength. Thank you to the staff member for advising me to go up and have a look. I didn't miss the beautiful scenery and left no regrets. I can also show it to my moms after taking the photos.
There are all kinds of cactus on the island
We came down from Alligator Mountain and told the driver that we were going to catch the last boat back to Beihai. The driver said that we would better check in to take photos so that there would be no regrets. The driver was enthusiastic and an excellent tour guide.
Shiluokou Beach has many corals and shellfish.
Time is ticking, I didn't see the dripping pill screen, but I still have to shoot the rocks at the entrance of the village, haha.
The boat going back was a tourist boat, which was very stable. It may also be due to the wind direction. More than an hour was no different from riding a bullet train. Because the hotel I stayed in in Beihai the day before was particularly good, I chose to stay here at night.
The hotel has breakfast, swimming pool, and swings.
On the fifth day, I slept until I woke up naturally and went to Beihai Old Street with drips. After ten o'clock, there were still few people, peaceful and always liked the old buildings.
After visiting Beihai Old Street, I was just about to call a taxi when a driver came over and said that he also drives Didi and can take us wherever we want to go all day today. He is a little tired in Mandarin, but he is very enthusiastic and humorous. I went to five places in one day, and only charged 65 yuan for transportation. What a conscientious driver.
Lunch at Qiaogang Fengqing Street is said to be more lively at night. Find out about local food stalls.
The taste is not particularly outstanding, but I am satisfied to taste Vietnamese roll powder. The oysters are not too big, 6 for 10 yuan.
I originally planned to go to Yintan after lunch and then go to the seafood market to buy seafood for the hotel to process it at night. However, the driver said it was early and asked us if we wanted to go to the "Vietnam Village"(Dajiangbu). However, it was completely different from what we expected. This is by far the most popular attraction in the country I have ever been to. The conductor said that it was usually 128, but now it was 60 per person. After entering, I found that the inside was too dilapidated, and I couldn't find a suitable location if I wanted to take photos for my two moms. There was a performance that was a little scary. There are not many tourists in the scenic area, and a couple even complained that the scenic spot is too poignant. It is not as good as the free Silver Beach.
In Yintan, the sand is the kind where footprints will not be left even if you step on it.
The last stop is Haixinrong Seafood Market recommended by the B & B owner. It is said that it does not slaughter customers and is worth a pound. Grouper fish is 23 per kilogram, sand worms are 55 per kilogram. At night, I ordered a plate of hotel stir-fried pork. The non-spicy stir-fried pork can be made so delicious.
Sleep until you wake up naturally, take a photo of the hotel, and take the bullet train back to Guilin.
I arrived at Guilin Station at 3 p.m. and booked Lavande Hotel Railway Station Store, which is within walking distance.
I have been wanting to buy fruits from Guilin to go home for the past few days. They are really delicious and inexpensive. I went to the Wulidian Fruit and Vegetable Market with a drip. Unfortunately, they were sold in whole boxes and couldn't buy too much. Finally, a stall bought a very large red heart dragon fruit, 4 of which is only 28. It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at this fruit and vegetable market, so we didn't see the lychee and jackfruit that we wanted to buy most. We said we would only have them in the morning. The peaches sold on carts outside the market were only 2 yuan, and I bought 6 kilograms. Unfortunately, I didn't know that the peaches were not suitable for putting in the refrigerator. When I woke up, the peaches sacrificed a lot, but the taste was very good.
It rained heavily on the way back to the hotel. Sitting in the taxi, we felt so lucky. The weather in the past few days was really amazing.
On this trip with my two mothers, I arranged for one or two scenic spots to check in and take photos for them every day. The hotel ordered breakfast, which was more convenient and ordered takeout at noon or evening. In terms of transportation, some hotels provide pick-up and drop-off services, and other times rely on Didi, so that they can feel more relaxed.
Continue to take them on a trip next time and show them the world.
Companion is love.
