I always wanted to record my experience of every trip, but I became lazy as soon as the trip ended, and this time I finally decided to try to write it down.
I learned from the text that "Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world", but I never had the opportunity to go to Guilin. Because foreign countries were greatly affected by the epidemic this year, I had to change to a domestic tour. Thinking about this place that I wanted to visit, I decided to set up this year's girlfriends tour in Guilin.
From departure to return, the overall journey time is 8 days, Longji-Yangshuo-Guilin.
The itinerary is as follows:
DAY 1: Depart from Beijing to Guilin, rent a car at Guilin Airport and drive directly to Longji. Stay on the dragon's spine
DAY 2: Play on Longji Terrace. Stay on the dragon's spine
DAY 3: Depart from Longji Terrace and drive to Longsheng Hot Spring. Stay at Longsheng Hot Spring Hotel
DAY 4: Depart from Longsheng Hot Spring and drive to Yangshuo. Stayed at Yangshuo Amman Star House Hotel
DAY 5: Visit Xingping Ancient Town. Stayed at Yangshuo Amman Star House Hotel
DAY 6: Playing in Shili Gallery in the morning and driving to Guilin in the afternoon. Stayed at Guilin Zizhou Hotel
DAY 7: Strolling around Zizhou Park and touring the East and West Alleys
DAY 8: In the morning, the hotel was in a daze to feed the fish, and in the afternoon, Guilin flew back to Beijing
Since it was a Saturday, I chose a noon flight so that I could sleep comfortably in the morning and wake up naturally. After eating breakfast properly, I left for the airport.
My best friend brought her child with her this time. The girl was small and unpredictable, and she became the focus of our trip this time. My best friend knows that I have no interest in children, so I haven't had much contact with Xiao Wa before. This time is also a challenge for me.
I first met a chick at the airport and was holding a small pink Frozen box. It was beautiful ~~
The small amusement park at the airport turns out that the little girl also likes it very much and has a wonderful time ~~
It took off at 12:25 noon and arrived at Guilin Liangjiang Airport at 15:40 p.m.. The flight was on time. (Air China CA1471)
After picking up my luggage, I quickly contacted our car rental company and Tongye rented a car. The driver of the car rental company made an appointment with us to meet under the flagpole in the airport parking lot. After about 6-8 minutes, the driver drove over and picked us up first. Go to the car rental company to go through relevant procedures.
The car rental is very close to the airport, about a 5-minute drive away. When I arrived at the car rental agency, I quickly went through the relevant procedures and also applied for an additional factoring service, so that there is no psychological burden to drive and you can drive properly. By the way, Tongye Car Rental gave us a free upgrade of the car. The original rental was Buick Excelle, but we upgraded it to Chevrolet Corriz for free. The small white car has a lot of space and the trunk space is also very large. Two 26 luggage boxes +1 boarding box, which is not crowded at all and there is still a lot of space.
It was almost five o'clock after completing the formalities, and the sky was still bright. We started the holiday travel mode happily! Everything is ready to set off for our first stop, Longji Terrace!
This time I went to Jinkeng Hongyao Terrace and stayed in a B & B run by the Red Yao people, Longsheng Aloft Hotel (reservation price of Longsheng Aloft Hotel, contact phone number, location address [Ctrip Hotel](ctrip.com)
Take the G65 Baotou Expressway, enter National Highway 321 of Longsheng Interchange, and turn to Rural Road 552. The navigation shows that it will take more than 2 hours to arrive, and it is estimated that it will arrive around 7:30.
Driving on the highway was smooth and there were no vehicles. The little kid was sitting in the back row to eat and drink. I was driving (and I was driving all the way), and my best friend sat in the front row to help me watch the road, happily discussing what to eat at the hotel tonight. The good times didn't last long. After driving on the highway for more than 40 minutes, I got off the highway. After getting off the highway, it was mostly mountain roads. At this time, the sky gradually turned dark. On both sides of the mountain road, there were black mountains or mountain streams. The light and line of sight were not very good, and there were basically no cars in the front and back. However, the cars coming from the opposite side basically had high beams, which was very eye-catching. Fortunately, I had many mountain roads and had driving experience at night, so I didn't panic. Calm down and safe driving. (I sincerely recommend that those who have no experience of driving mountain roads at night should not drive to the Longji Terrace at night. You can rest in Guilin for a night first)
The little child began to get restless after dark. First of all, he proposed to miss his father and have a video phone call with him. After talking for about an hour, he finally hung up, but he proposed not to sit in the back row alone, saying that he was afraid of being in the front row with his mother and Aunt Meng. He actually did what he said, turned on the safety belt, and climbed directly to the front row, which made me, the driver, still nervous. After all, it was dark and mountain roads, so I didn't dare to park casually.
Aloft's landlady was still very enthusiastic. She called to inquire and also asked what she would like to eat when she arrived at the hotel that evening.
After nearly 2 hours of mountain travel, we finally arrived at the hotel safely. The landlady and the boss rarely came to the parking lot enthusiastically to meet us, because there was still a short mountain road to the hotel. The boss came with a pole and picked up our two 26-inch boxes directly. The landlady helped the little girl hold her beloved Frozen pink box. The group went up the mountain to the hotel and saw the hotel's specialties of the day when they reached the hotel door. I couldn't wait to discuss it quickly. It was really the only good food that was the last word!
The hotel has four floors, the first floor is a restaurant, and the second-fourth floors are accommodation. There are 4 rooms on each floor, making a total of 12 rooms. The landlady upgraded us to a room with a viewing balcony on the top floor for free, which was very considerate.
When we arrived at the hotel, there were two groups of uncles and aunts from Shanghai. One group was playing mahjong and the other group was chatting happily. We were surprised to see us coming in and sighed that there must be a very good driver who arrived so late. Haha, I feel happy, thank you for the praise...
Without going to the room first, I quickly began to order. My best friend was longing for fried field snails, my favorite bullfrog, and another green vegetable. It was beautiful and the little baby ate very happily ~~
After having a full meal and drink, I carry my luggage upstairs (this is the only bad thing, there is no elevator, so I can only climb the stairs). It is too late and I don't go to the balcony to watch the scenery. There is a twin room for each person (of course, the baby sleeps with her mother), rest!
The next day, I quickly got up at dawn and went to the balcony to take a look at the scenery. The scenery of the terraces surrounded by fog was like a fairyland. I was worried that it would be foggy all day ~~
When you arrive in Guangxi, you must eat rice noodles. Good rice noodles for breakfast, and children drink porridge + eggs
After breakfast, we set out. Yaozhai is all built on the mountains. Our B & B hotel is built halfway up the mountain. The road to the scenic spots is a mountain path. The big cock on the roadside leads the whole family to walk and peck for food. Everyone talked and walked along the way. The three-year-old child is great. He waddles by himself all the way. He never shouted tired or asked for a hug. This must be praised!
I met a B & B on the roadside. The signs made in the small courtyard were very interesting ~~
At this time, the Longji Terrace had already finished harvesting rice. It lacked the beauty of water when it was irrigated in early spring, and the dazzling gold in early autumn. However, it did have a bit of idleness and laziness, which represented satisfaction after the harvest and expectations for the coming year.
Walking along the way, I ran into a 90-year-old Red Yao ancestor. He was in high spirits. After chatting with the ancestor for a while, the ancestor praised the little boy for being great! (Considering our respect for our ancestors, we did not ask for photos)
On the way back to the hotel, I saw a Western-style shop. The owner was a handsome guy from Anhui. He arrived here in April this year and started running a B & B. It mainly targets foreigners 'backpackers, mainly Western-style simple meals, and also plays movies at night. As a person who is used to having a cup of coffee every day, I had to sit down and drink a cup of coffee when I met this store. The little kid asked for French fries and chicken nuggets, so we decided to have lunch in this small store. But when it comes to lunch, for a picky person like me, it can't be a simple Western meal. The handsome guy immediately said that he could provide Chinese food and asked the local aunt to prepare it and deliver it, so he ordered steamed fish, fried vegetables, French fries, fried chicken nuggets, perfect! Of course, we can't miss coffee and baby's pearl milk tea!
(Sigh! Every time I eat it, I think I haven't taken pictures!)
In the afternoon, we drove to Jinkeng Cableway and took the cableway for a panoramic view
When it was dark, we returned to the hotel. As soon as we got in the car, we received a call from the landlady asking us what we wanted to eat for the evening so that we could prepare them in advance. We immediately decided to eat a chicken. The landlady said that if we ate chicken, we would have one chicken and two, half stew soup, half bamboo chicken, and another bamboo rice. Warm hot soup and hot rice, and a sense of satisfaction came from us!
In the face of delicious food, the Longji Terrace came to a successful conclusion! But I have to talk about our little baby, which gave us a little episode. Because we were playing relatively HIGH, we refused to eat and drink all the way. As a result, on the way back, we faced the winding mountain road and vomited! Facing vomit, we really have a headache! I really want to thank the landlady here for providing us with a washing machine so that we could wash our clothes and shoes. After dinner, we still carried a bucket and a large brush and rag to brush the car cushion and wipe out the car seat., ensuring that we can drive happily the next day!
On the third day, I got up early in the morning and went downstairs to have breakfast leisurely. Today, I switched to glutinous rice egg soup + chopped green onion cake; my best friend switched to white porridge + chopped green onion cake; and baby white porridge + boiled egg. After breakfast, go upstairs on the balcony facing the terraced scenery, soak in black tea, and leisurely drink tea and chat!
At noon, we packed our luggage and were ready to set off. The little girl politely said goodbye to the boss's family. She found that the boss's sister was not there. She asked if she had gone to school. The distance from school was still very far. We had to drive a motorcycle to send it there. I couldn't help but sigh that it was not easy for the children in the mountains to go to school. The boss helped us carry our luggage to the parking lot, everything was ready, and we set off for Longsheng Hot Spring.
On the way from the Longji Terrace Terrace to the outside of the mountain, I saw many carts selling fruit. I, a foodie, of course, had to get off the car and have a look. They all sell golden passion fruits. We originally planned to buy them and bring them back to Beijing. The boss warmly asked me to try them. The taste is really good, sweet and sour, but considering that there were still several days to travel later, we couldn't carry the fruit every day, so we bought something that was enough to eat on the road. We thought that when we arrived in Guilin, we would definitely sell them. Who would have thought that we would never see anyone selling passion fruits again, including supermarkets and fruit shops in Guilin, saying it was out of season!!!
On the way to Longsheng Hot Spring, we chose a roadside restaurant for lunch. Unexpectedly, this humble restaurant gave us a surprise. The restaurant was not built along the river. The owner of the restaurant was also a chef. There were no customers when we went there. We sat by the river. The owner came over and asked if we wanted fish or chicken. Thinking about the chicken we had just eaten the night before, we had fish at noon. We had a pot of stewed fish + tofu + green vegetables, and we also ordered a chopped onion scrambled egg for the little child. These eggs were really made from free-range chickens, and the fried eggs were golden and golden; the fish soup was stewed in white and delicious, so we enjoyed eating it; Looking at the scenery by the river, eating delicious food, and calling me Meiyi!
Arrive at Longsheng Hot Spring Resort Hotel in the afternoon and get a hot spring ticket when you check in at the hotel, allowing you to soak in the hot spring as many times as you can. The hot spring is built outdoors and next to the mountains. There are nearly 10 hot spring pools at the foot of the mountain, all of which are differentiated according to different water temperatures. There is also a children's pool and a heated swimming pool. There are also several hot spring pools on the mountain. They are hot spring pools with certain medicinal bath functions. Because there were extra charges, we didn't go up. There were not many people when we went. The hot spring water was quite clean. We soaked in the hot spring quietly, and we were exhausted. This is the mode of leisure while traveling ~~
On the fourth day, after breakfast, I planned to go to Yangshuo. The little girl was happy to soak in the hot spring yesterday and would continue to soak in the hot spring early in the morning. It is probably because the children are more interested in playing with the water. As a driver, I considered driving all the way, so I rested in my room!
On the way from Longsheng Hot Spring Mountain at high speed, we saw several cable bridges built on the river along the way, so we decided to stop and walk on the cable bridges. These rope bridges all lead to various stockades. Most of these stockades are Zhuang people and several of them are Han people. They are all clearly divided.
Arriving in Yangshuo in the afternoon, Yangshuo gave me the feeling of a lazy, quiet and leisurely city, suitable for being in a daze here. If I come here next time, it would be best to stay for a few more days and do nothing. Just watch the scenery in the yard, drink tea, and take a ride on an electric bike when I have leisure time.
Our stay in Yangshuo this time was Amman Star House Hotel (Book price of Yangshuo Star House Hotel, contact phone number, location address [Ctrip Hotel](ctrip.com). The hotel is not big and has four floors in total. The first floor is the lobby and restaurant. There are 6 rooms on the second and third floors. There are two balcony rooms on the fourth floor, where you can watch the stars. What I like most is that the hotel has a small courtyard. Sitting in the courtyard at night, listening to the chirping of insects, chatting, and drinking a small bottle of wine makes it very relaxing.
After arriving at the hotel for a rest, we first went to the front desk of the hotel to inquire. The Yulong River rafting was something we were thinking about. The young lady at the front desk said that we would probably not allow us to ride with the baby, so we had to go to the ferry to ask; then we would book tickets for the performance of "Impression of Third Sister Liu" the next night. We set off again to inspect the bamboo raft rafting ferry. After asking, we learned that 3-year-old children were not allowed to ride. This event was no longer available, which was a pity. Not long after I walked out of the Yulong River Ferry, I saw a sign for Fuli Bridge. Anyway, I was strolling, so I drove there to have a look. At the same time, Fuli Bridge also has a ferry. I hope I can try my luck and maybe I can ride a bamboo raft. Drifting
When I arrived at Fuli Bridge, I found that this is a beautiful hidden scenery. Fuli Bridge has a single-arch bluestone structure. The bridge deck, railings and steps are all made of square stones. It was built during the Yongle Period of the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. The bridge is 30 meters long, 5 meters wide and 10 meters high. It is one of the three major ancient bridges in Yangshuo. There is an ancient tree at each bridge. Looking from a distance, the bridge arch meets the reflection, resembling a full moon. Standing at the bridge head to view the four wild areas, surrounded by green mountains, and green waters surrounding the village, it is a southern scenery.
After visiting Fuli Bridge, we drove to Yangshuo West Street. West Street is a lively pedestrian street with all kinds of food and drink. There are many shops making handmade candies. On this street, we eat and drink, eat and drink, rice noodles, roast kebabs, and half a dozen raw oysters. The little baby can also follow us to eat indiscriminately. No wonder we call it fat girl ~~
On the fifth day, I woke up naturally. The breakfast provided by the hotel was also very good for one person, including a rice noodle, a boiled egg, a white potato, a small steamed bun, a piece of corn, a bowl of porridge, and a plate of side dishes. I was full.
After breakfast, we drove to Xingping Ancient Town and went to see the scenery at RMB 20-Yuanbao Mountain in Xingping
It takes more than an hour to drive from Yangshuo to Xingping Ancient Town. There are many speed-limited sections along the way, and the car can't drive fast. This is also good. We can look at the scenery along the way and pass by a fruit market. Because we were eager to buy more golden passion fruits, we immediately stopped to visit the market. As a result, all the owners of the paving roads were out of season, and now it was the season to sell oranges. Every stall was facing oranges. We bought some. I also bought two dragon fruits for the little child. My best friend said that I had never eaten snow lotus fruits. We bought a few more snow lotus fruits and had the boss peel the skin and couldn't wait to eat them. Not long after walking far after walking out of the market, we found that there were carts selling sugar cane on the roadside. We immediately stopped to buy sugar cane, peeled the skin, cut it into sections, carried it into the car and drove. Anyway, it was for us to eat food along the way. It's just to eat, it's so great!
When we arrived in Xingping Ancient Town, we just happened to catch the event of Guanyin's Birthday that day. Several main intersections entering the ancient town were under martial law, so we had to wait in the car. After 30 minutes, the active crowd entered the ancient town one after another, and the intersections began to pass. Good, the car entered the ancient town. The ancient town is basically almost complete now. Part of its original style has been preserved. There are still a few aborigines. Most of them have been converted into shops and contracted to foreign business people. When we visited the ancient town, we saw a door for rent, so we walked in and found that the local houses were quite interesting. The door was not big, but the inner hall was very deep. There was also a small courtyard in the middle, which divided the deep courtyard into inner and outer entrances. The outer part was basically rented out. Some of the inner courtyard are inhabited by indigenous people.
The activities of Guanyin's Birthday that day were very lively
There is an ancient stage in the ancient town. Although it is no longer in use, it still tells the world of its lively, noisy and glorious past, as well as its vicissitudes and history.
The Xingping section of the Lijiang River is also a ferry. There are large cruise ships that can be taken to tour the Lijiang River, and there are also some small boats that residents ferry. We chose to take the small ferry boat and go to Longbei Village opposite.
A boat, an owl and a cormorant constitute a harmonious scenery. The inherited name of this village is called Longbei Village, because this river is like a dragon occupying and guarding the water and soil on this side. This village is just in the location of Longbei, so it is called Longbei Village. However, according to the elderly in the village, it has changed its name. The village is filled with some left-behind elderly people and children. Basically, all the adult labor force has gone out to work, and the most of them have gone to Shenzhen. There is a place in this village where you can wade through the water to the observation deck to view Xingping Yuanbao Mountain.
Playing around, eating and drinking, we have already toured the ancient town. We have to rush back to Yangshuo to watch the show in the evening and drive back to Yangshuo. We still have to eat our lunch seriously. We immediately checked our mobile phone and found a big banyan tree restaurant not far from Yangshuo with good reviews. I am really convinced. This restaurant is too hidden and hidden in the mountains. It is not easy to find it by driving around. The reviews said that the scenery is good, but I personally think the scenery is okay, but facing the mountains, rivers and rivers of Yangshuo, I'm probably a little visually tired. However, the food in this restaurant is still delicious. Finally, we can eat the famous beer fish that we have been talking about, and the fried field snail that our best friend loves. It is worth it!
It was almost 5 o'clock after dinner. For the performance at 7:30 p.m., we rushed to Guilin Qianggu Scenic Area. If we arrived early, we could visit the scenic area and take our children to the playground to play, and then go to the performance.
I have seen the performance of Sanya's Eternal Love in Hainan before, and I feel quite good. The application of lights, light and water constitutes the overall performance scene. This time, I chose to watch Guilin's eternal experience. The performance was generally very good. From the history formed in ancient times, the gathering of Zhuang, Yao, Dong, Miao, Yi and other ethnic groups, as well as the songs and dances that have been passed down, to its development and the story of Sister Liu, which everyone is familiar with, we have traveled from ancient times to today.
On the sixth day, we slept until we woke up naturally. After a hotel breakfast, we left the hotel to rent an electric car. Although I drove a car without any problems, I had never come across an electric car. My best friend in Beijing rides an electric car. The main driver of running around the streets. Today, she came to take the lead and prepared to ride an electric car with my family and me to tour the Shili Gallery. There is also a small incident in choosing an electric car. Every day when we drive out, we can see a small retro electric car. My best friend likes it very much and hopes that we can rent it and ride it to show off the wind. Unfortunately, the electric car rental office around our hotel didn't have this one. I was a little disappointed. In the end, I chose the little doll's favorite red car and rode the little red car to go shopping!
There are many B & Bs, large and small, along the way, all with their own styles. There are also some small cafes. On the way, all you encounter are tourists riding bicycles or electric bicycles, stopping and walking in twos and threes, making it very leisurely! When we were eating food, we saw a small European package store. I was attracted by the aroma of toast. This kind of store is rare, so I immediately stopped to have coffee and eat European package. The owner is a young lady who came back from studying in Australia and was unable to return to Europe due to the epidemic. Her boyfriend is also a baker and an Australian ABC. The two of them temporarily stayed here to work as a bakery. Youth is capital and they can have time to do what they want to do and enjoy life while doing things!
My best friend's electric bike was riding at the speed of lightning, but she couldn't quite recognize the way. Fortunately, with me as a human navigation guide, she successfully returned to the hotel. After returning the car and taking a short rest, we set off for Guilin, which was also the last stop of our trip.
In Guilin, we stayed at a hotel in a park. Guilin Zizhou Sijing Resort Hotel reserved the price, contact the phone number, location and address [Ctrip Hotel](ctrip.com). There will be a special bus delivered to the gate of the park when entering and leaving the hotel. This time, we caught up with the driver No. 1 and was very enthusiastic and took the initiative to introduce us to the eating places and shopping places around the hotel.
After checking in to the hotel, we took a rest and went shopping in the hotel's dedicated battery ferry.
I went to visit Jingjiang Palace first
Then we went to visit the East and West Alley, a small pedestrian street
Walking around slowly, night fell, we returned to the hotel, my best friend took the little doll to soak in the pool, and I strolled in the park. I heard from the hotel that you could see Elephant Trunk Mountain from the park, so I also wandered around in advance.
The park is rarely quiet at night, and there is no longer the noise of tourists during the day. Wandering around the park and listening to the noise along the river, I followed the sound and came to the riverside of the park. The scenic spot opposite is brightly lit, and Elephant Trunk Mountain appears in front of me under the light
On the seventh day, the most leisurely day, wake up naturally and have breakfast in the hotel. The breakfast room was next to the hotel's own small pond. We sat outdoors, eating breakfast, feeding goldfish, and chatting about leisure
Since you live in a park, I will stop by and visit Zizhou Park. Zizhou Park is located on Zizhou on the east bank of the Li River in the center of Guilin. It faces Xiangshan across the river. It is the oldest park in Guilin. Zi Island was named after a family surnamed Zi lived on the island in the Tang Dynasty. The island is in a strip shape like a boat floating in the water, also known as a floating island, surrounded by Li water.
View Elephant Trunk Mountain from the park during the day ~~
After playing in the park all morning, in the afternoon, I thought about buying some special items to take back to Beijing. I went to the nearby supermarket. I bought a bottle of hot sauce and my best friend bought some food for my parents and eldest daughter. This trip is about to end perfectly.
On the eighth day, after waking up naturally, I packed my bags and returned to Beijing. I chose to land at Beijing Daxing Airport this time. I originally planned to take a taxi after taking my best friend's car to the city. I saw that the landing time was in the evening, and the traffic in Beijing was beyond mention at this time, so I decided to go back by subway the entire journey. Not to mention, it's quite convenient. The airport subway takes 25 minutes to Caoqiao. I changed to Line 10, which will arrive home earlier than my best friend.
This trip was the first experience of traveling with tension and laziness, with a little child. It was boring but more happy!
