Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world. Guilin's moving mountains and waters always have reasons to attract me here.
From Guangzhou to Guilin, the high-speed rail only takes half a day. It is very convenient to get from a bustling downtown city to a city with beautiful mountains and rivers.
Taking the high-speed rail from Guangzhou to Guilin is actually a quite good experience. From Huaiji to Guilin, the scenery along the high-speed rail is also very beautiful.

From Guangzhou to Guilin, you can take the high-speed train in the morning and arrive at noon. When you arrive in Guilin, you can have a bowl of delicious Guilin rice noodles to fill your stomach and enjoy the delicious food. It is a simple choice.
(Guilin rice noodles are not expensive, generally ranging from 4 yuan to 10 yuan depending on the portion. Add the seasoning yourself)

For the afternoon itinerary, I chose Seven Star Park.
In Guilin, you can also see beautiful mountains and rivers in the urban area. Seven Star Park is such a place.

Seven Star Park in the urban area of Guilin covers a huge area. Many Guilin citizens come here on weekends to relax among the mountains and rivers here, or bring their children to play on the grass here. It is a beautiful feeling of tranquility and leisure.

When you enter Seven Star Park, you will first cross the Flower Bridge. Huaqiao is also a well-known place in Qixing Park. The bridge is quite old. The wooden deconstructed bridge has a roof. Even on rainy days, you don't need an umbrella to walk on the bridge.

On the bridge corridor, you can see the gurgling water at your feet. The rivers in Guilin are all beautiful, with a kind of warmth and warmth like a small family. There is no surging river water, only a kind of quiet beauty.

The ginkgo trees on both sides of the river have turned yellow, and together with the beautiful gurgling water, they form a unique landscape picture of Guilin.

Go straight ahead in Seven Star Park and you will have beautiful scenery along the way.

A small waterfall appeared on the roadside. The low waterfall had a clear little warmth. Watching the flowing water fly down, watching the clear water splash with water droplets, standing next to the waterfall, there were occasionally naughty little water droplets splashing on your face with a little coolness, which was very interesting.

There are many wild monkeys near the waterfall. If it is time for meal, these cute monkeys will also run to tourists to ask for food. Their spiritual and cute appearance is also very likable.

After passing through the waterfall, you will reach Camel Peak. Guilin's karst landform has created many unique mountains, of which Camel Peak is one.

When viewed from a distance, the main body of Camel Peak looks like a camel lying on the ground. The magical nature carves the mountain to life. There is a clear artificial lake in front of Camel Peak. If the weather is good, Camel Peak is reflected on the lake and water, and the water and sky are in one color., the lake water has become a mirror, giving a beautiful feeling of a mirror of the sky.

Go all the way to the north gate of Qixing Park, where there is a small temple. The temple was built in the Tang Dynasty. It has experienced war, fire, and was rebuilt. It is still in full bloom today.

Across the front hall, there is a large banyan tree in front of the Daxiong Hall, which has become a place for local people to make wishes. The branches and air roots are tied with red ribbons that say pray for peace and happiness. It is also a different kind of beautiful scenery.

It was already night after leaving Seven Star Park. After dinner, come to the dock and take a cruise ship to visit the charming night view of Guilin's two rivers and four lakes.

Guilin has a rich water system. In addition to the Li River, the Taohua River is equally beautiful. Guilin's "Two Rivers and Four Lakes" refer to the Li River, Taohua River, Mulong Lake (including Tiefotang), Gui Lake, Rong Lake and Shan Lake. Its ring-city water system has a total length of 7.33 kilometers and a water surface area of 385,900 square meters. The project was first formed during the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). At that time, boats crisscrossed on Rong Lake, Shan Lake and Gui Lake, and it flourished at night. The lighting on both sides of the river gave the Shan Lake a different view.

During a night tour of the two rivers and four lakes, the first thing that attracted our attention was these two towers.

The Twin Towers of the Sun and Moon are known as the world's largest copper tower. They are divided into a sun tower and a moon tower, taking the meaning of "the sun and the moon shine together" in Guilin's landscape. The sun tower is 41 meters high and has nine floors. It is decorated with pure copper and is resplendent. It is the tallest copper tower in China. The moon tower is 35 meters high, solemn and elegant, and is decorated with glass. The two towers are connected by an 18-meter-long underwater channel.

At the dock, there are singers singing. In the night time, they sing softly, blending with the lights on the boat and the streamers on the lake into a flowing beautiful picture.

Get on a night cruise boat and move forward all the way on the rivers and lakes. The water on the lake is calm, and the cruise ship breaks through the water and breaks into the flowing light. It is also a beautiful scenery.

Of course, after more than an hour of night tour, there are endless beautiful scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. There are also many attractions that cannot be missed, and there are also many beautiful scenery worth remembering.

Along the boat, there are many beautiful scenery not to be missed along the way. You will cross many bridges along the way. During the tour, you will cross a total of 22 bridges. Each bridge is decorated with bright lights. When the cruise ship passes through the bottom of the bridge, you can still see the bottom of the bridge. It is also carved with exquisite patterns, including stories, pictures, and calligraphy. When you cross the bridge, you will look up and take a look. It is also a small surprise that you can't miss.
Bridges such as Yangqiao and Wenchang Bridge each have its own history, and each bridge has its own story. Looking on the boat and listening to stories about these bridges is also a good choice to learn about the history of the city.

The glass bridge has a bright deck. When the lights are added at night, it is as clear and brilliant as crystal. From a distance, the light and transparent glass look like a delicate and dazzling crystal on the Ronghu Lake, which is particularly eye-catching.

In Mulong Lake, the most eye-catching Internet celebrity check-in point is the Mulong Lake ship lift. The Mulong Lake elevator is an important control building that connects the Li River with the four lakes and realizes navigation around the city between the inner lake and the outer river. It's like an elevator on the water, allowing ships to move unimpeded at different heights. Taking the elevator on a boat is also a very interesting thing.

There are many banyan trees in Guilin at the ancient south gate, but perhaps the most famous one is this big banyan tree outside the south gate. From the Song Dynasty to the present, this banyan tree has gone through vicissitudes and is still protecting the city of Guilin. The diameter of the leafy crown of the big banyan tree is 12 meters long. In order to protect its branches,"branches" made of cement are supported under each branch.

In addition to various beautiful scenery, there will be many performances on the lake.

During the tour, you will pass a small stage. When the cruise ship passes by, you can see Yao girls on the stage dancing traditional Yao dances in the music. It is also a very special thing to taste the characteristics of the local ethnic minorities.

The evening singing of fishing boats has always been a very beautiful picture. In the past, on Lake Gui, fishermen would use ospreys to fish and let the ospreys go into the water to catch fish.
Traveling in the two rivers and four lakes at night, you can also see many fishermen holding bamboo rafts and putting ospreys into Gui Lake so that the ospreys can catch fish. The image of the elegant osprey jumping into the water and jumping out of the water, coupled with the dots of stars on the river, makes it warm and romantic.

There are many beautiful mountains in Guilin. If the most famous one is, it may have a place in Elephant Trunk Mountain.

Elephant Trunk Mountain is located in the center of Guilin City, at the intersection of the Li River and Taohua River. It has been washed by the two rivers for hundreds of millions of years, forming the shape of an elephant trunk.

From a distance, Elephant Trunk Mountain is like an elephant lying on the river, drinking water quietly. Elephant Trunk Mountain is covered with many trees, and the lush trees make Elephant Trunk Mountain more exquisite and beautiful.

Walking into Xiangbei Mountain Park, you can actually walk slowly by the river before climbing. The riverside is covered with cobblestones, and the river is clear. Many local people are walking back and forth on the river with bamboo rafts, which is also a different kind of scenery.

There are also beautiful legends about Taohua River. Legend has it that single people can meet their own love and find the happiness they look forward to by washing their hands here.

After walking through the Taohua River, you will reach the foot of Elephant Trunk Mountain. When you arrive at the foot of the mountain, you can smell the strong aroma of wine. Guilin has three treasures: fermented bean curd, chili sauce, and Sanhua wine. The foot of the mountain is the wine cellar for Sanhua wine. You can smell the strong aroma of rice wine at the entrance of the wine cellar. If you come here during the Spring Festival, you will also encounter the days when the wine cellar is opened here and you can taste the delicious Sanhua wine.

Elephant Trunk Mountain is 200 meters above sea level and the distance to climb is not long. Climbing along the stairs, the beautiful scenery of the two rivers in Guilin gradually appears before your eyes. This is the beauty of extending and climbing high into the distance.

When you arrive at the top of the mountain, there is a viewing platform. Different beautiful scenery in Guilin can be seen from different directions of the observation deck. The Urban area of Guilin is actually quite exquisite. It is separated by two rivers and surrounded by mountains. The mountains in the distance and the river water at your feet can be viewed from the observation deck on the top of the mountain.

Looking far into the distance, you can see almost all of Guilin's Urban area here. The black tiled roofs of old buildings are connected into pieces, silent, elegant and solemn among the green mountains.

There is also a Samannah Pagoda on the top of the mountain. Legend has it that it was a magical instrument left behind by Samannah Bodhisattva preaching here. With the protection of Samannah Pagoda, the weather on both sides of the Li River has always been smooth, and Guilin has been peaceful and prosperous. Once upon a time, Hong Xiuquan of the Taiping Rebellion also arranged turrets here. Whether it is the myths, legends or history here, there are many stories worth talking about here.

Over time, Puxian Tower looks a little old, but it is this old age that is the flavor of history. The red bricks are mottled, and each red brick seems to record history and engrave the story. Walking under the Puxian Tower and seeing the scenery of Guilin City are particularly enjoyable under the cool breeze on the top of the mountain.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, there are also child-sending Guanyin and small temples. Even if you are not believers, the exquisite carvings and copper bells in front of the temple are very worth seeing.

In a leisure city like Guilin, it is actually a good choice to stay in a B & B.
The B & B has temperature, and the B & B is warm and beautiful, so I chose to stay in Taoyuan Villa this time to feel the warmth and beauty of the B & B here.

Taoyuan Villa is a whole villa. In the villa, there are guest rooms and a courtyard. It is also a very good choice to sip tea here at night and watch the stars in the sky.

Taoyuan Villa has 4 floors. The first floor is a quite large living room. You can sit here, chat with friends, or watch TV. There is also an exquisite tea room. If you want to taste a cup of green tea, it is also a good choice.

The rooms on each floor of Taoyuan Villa are different. Some rooms are equipped with large balconies where you can sit on the balcony and stare blankly. Others are equipped with starry domes that can be directly opened to see the stars and beauty in the sky.

At night, spending a daze in Taoyuan Villa, tasting tea, and then enjoying a comfortable sleep. Such a night is also a very comfortable enjoyment during a vacation.

For dinner, I chose Zhiwei Shuiyunxuan in Guilin. Zhiwei Group is also a well-known brand in Guilin, so I specially chose to eat here and taste Guilin's cuisine.

In Shuiyunxuan, first taste a cup of green tea, feel the leisure and leisure belonging to Guilin's mountains and rivers, and wait for the delicious food to be served. It is actually a very enjoyable process.

The delicacies in Shuiyun Xuan are quite exquisite. The portions are not large, but they are very exquisite.

Guilin rice noodles, as the most classic delicacy in Guilin, do not disappoint here. The smooth and elastic rice noodles have a strong aroma of rice, the stewed beef is delicious, and the clear soup made from big bones is very delicious.

Fish Soup Rice Noodles The clear water of Lijiang also breeds fresh, sweet and delicious fish. Fish soup is boiled with fish, and the fish is tender and tender. When rice noodles are added, the rice noodles absorb the sweetness of the fish soup and are very delicious.

Eating desserts is always a very happy thing. Desserts often bring out a feeling of happiness. There are many types of desserts here, and each one is very exquisite in shape. Moreover, the sweetness is quite appropriate. It does not feel too sweet or greasy. It is sweet and will not lack a refreshing taste.

In Guilin, whether it is a short walk for two or three days, or spending more time feeling and tasting here, the charm and beauty of this city are worth cherishing. It is also very convenient to experience the charm of a completely different city by three-hour drive from Guangzhou. Even on weekends, when greedy people are interested, it is also a very good thing to come here to taste a bowl of Guilin rice noodles and a glass of Sanhua wine.
