As we all know, Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world, and everyone who comes to Guilin will be attracted by its beautiful mountains and rivers. Here, water surrounds Guilin City around mountains. The city in the green mountains and clear waters is full of agile beauty.

In the past, when I came to Guilin, I would go to Yangshuo more often, but after a long time, I found that I had neglected the beautiful scenery around me. Guilin not only has mountains and rivers, but also can unlock many different ways to play!

If you come to Guilin, you must do these eight things: go to the Four Lakes for a boat to make tea, visit Mulong Lake, go to Guihua Commune to experience the New Year customs, pray in the Wangcheng Scenic Area, go to the foot of Diecai Mountain to watch the exhibition, go to Lingchuan Play gliding, and finally go to Quanzhou Tianhu for skiing. It will definitely be worthwhile.

1: Boating tea on the four lakes

Guilin's "Two Rivers and Four Lakes" refer to the Li River, Taohua River, Mulong Lake, Gui Lake, Rong Lake and Shanhu Lake. Its ring-city water system has a total length of 7.33 kilometers and is an important part of Guilin's beautiful mountains and rivers.

The best way to visit the two rivers and four lakes is to take a cruise ship, coupled with the current hottest pot of tea, and slowly appreciate the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. It is a dual enjoyment for both body and heart.

Boarding a boat from Riyue Bay Wharf and sitting on a cruise ship with a strong New Year flavor, the atmosphere of celebrating the New Year will be immediately created. The snacks on each table are rich in fruits, and there are also small red paper fans that you can take photos.

In addition to these, there are also snacks limited for the Year of the Rabbit. As the cruise ship slowly sets off, the green mountains on both sides of the Taiwan Strait enter the picture. Wearing an ancient costume to rafting on the lake seems to have spanned the thickness of time and been able to communicate with the ancients. How lucky to live in Guilin.

Over an hour's journey, you will pass through famous Chinese and foreign bridges of various shapes and elegant pagodas and pavilions. They decorate the ancient famous city with mountains and rivers. While tasting tea and chatting, you can also truly feel the style of Guilin's mountains and rivers that are the best in the world.

2: Take a stroll around Mulong Lake

Mulong Lake was built on the support of the old city wall, Dongmen City, and was rebuilt with reference to many Song Dynasty buildings such as the Qingming Festival Shanghe Map. It has an ancient style. Cruise boats from the two rivers and four lakes will pass by here, but it is difficult to feel its beauty at a quick glance. You might as well walk in and enjoy it.

It is said that Mulong Lake did not exist before. This lake was artificially built for the water system around the two rivers and four lakes. The water of the Li River flows into Guilin City from here. Although it is the smallest of the two rivers and four lakes, the scenery is not inferior.

The Mulong Tower in the lake is based on the Longhua Tower of the Song Dynasty in Shanghai. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the tower is more unique and beautiful. Walking around the lake, you will have different scenery no matter which angle you view it.

Climbing the 800-year-old ancient Song City Wall and quietly looking at the Mulong Lake flowing spring after spring at the foot of the Song City Wall, she is like a graceful and affectionate woman, making people lovable.

Mulong Lake is very suitable for wearing ancient costumes to take photos. In the afternoon when there are not many tourists, stop and go, and in an inadvertent corner, there is always a surprise and touching encounter.

3: Experience the characteristic New Year customs

Osmanthus flowers bloom in golden autumn and have a short flowering period. But in Guilin, there is such a place related to osmanthus, where you can see everything related to osmanthus at any time. It is osmanthus Commune.

In the Osmanthus Cultural Experience Hall, an audio-visual feast is presented in all aspects through vision, hearing and smell, telling the story of osmanthus in Guilin and showing the scene of osmanthus blooming in the city of Guilin.

In the Compendium of Materia Medica and many ancient medical books, the efficacy of osmanthus flowers is recorded. Osmanthus flowers can be used as medicine and osmanthus flowers can be used as food. In Guihua Commune, Guihua is made into skin care products such as Guihua essential oil and is quite popular.

Osmanthus scented osmanthus smells fragrant all over the world, and the osmanthus ceremony expresses deep feelings. Various gift boxes such as osmanthus wine, osmanthus tea, osmanthus cakes are good gifts and can also be bought here.

The Year of the Rabbit is here, and you can also experience making osmanthus cakes for yourself here. Rub osmanthus and dough into a ball, and then put it into molds of different shapes to make cakes with the word "blessing" or "cherry blossoms" printed on it!

Finally, I wrote the word blessing and cut a paper-cut in the shape of a rabbit, and the strong flavor of the New Year will come out. Bring the fragrance of osmanthus and the booming New Year's greetings, and everything will be smooth in the Year of the Rabbit.

4: Praying for blessings in Wangcheng Scenic Area

Duxiu Peak·Wangcheng Scenic Area is centered on Duxiu Peak and is the birthplace of the entire Guilin city. It covers the three major historical and cultural systems of Guilin and is a typical representative of Guilin's history and culture.

Jingjiang Mansion is located at the foot of Duxiu Peak. A total of 14 Jingjiang Kings from 11th generations lived here. It lasted for 280 years. It is the longest and most completely preserved Ming Dynasty vassal Mansion among Ming Dynasty vassal kings.

The entire palace covers an area of 18.7 hectares. It has a carriage gate, a carriage hall, and a bedroom.

Later, it was occupied by Kong Youde, King of Dingnan of the Qing Dynasty, and became the Wangfu of Dingnan. After Li Dingguo, a peasant army, captured Guilin, Kong Youde set fire to himself, turning most of the royal city, which had existed for more than 250 years, into scorched soil.

When you come here, you can also experience the national intangible cultural heritage-Wangfu Secret Extension. It is a color rubbing technology different from traditional rubbing. It has profound cultural heritage. Its production process is complex, and it is extremely particular in terms of materials and color matching.

Duxiu Peak is one of the symbols of Guilin City. It is known as the "Pillar in the Southern Sky" and is known as the first peak in Guilin in history. The mountain peak rises abruptly, like a knife cutting axe. It is surrounded by mountains. The lonely peak stands proudly, like the respect of an emperor.

Cliff stone carvings are dotted on the peak walls, among which the ancient famous saying "Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world" comes from this. On a fine day, coming here to enjoy the beautiful scenery and looking back at history will definitely make people feel filled with emotion...

5: Watching the exhibition under Diecai Mountain

When you come to Diecai Mountain, don't miss the original painting of "Diecai Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains 3.0" is now stored in the Palace Museum. It is the only work handed down by the Northern Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng and the longest scroll handed down in the Song Dynasty.

The dynamic digital scroll and a series of interactive modules of "Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers Map 3.0" created by Phoenix Digital Technology demonstrate that the "Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers Map" is feasible, accessible, and achievable through various digital technology presentation methods such as digital multimedia and interactive experience., and inhabitable aesthetic conception.

The colors and levels presented in "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains 3.0" echo the "stacked colors" of Diecai Mountain. The "Jiangshan" of the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains can also be associated with the "Jiangshan Living Room" of the famous scenic spot in Diecai Mountain.

It uses the core technology of real-time layered rendering and the dynamic digital scroll of a time-transformation system to present the detailed pen and ink of the original "Thousand Miles of Mountains and Rivers" in high-definition according to the four major themes of "Walking, Traveling, Looking, and Living".

Let the characters and mountains and rivers in the original painting "move", allowing the audience to three-dimensionally feel the beauty and grandeur of the mountains and rivers of China, and the changing stars and things.

The interaction between art works and people also interweaves traditional cultural elements with contemporary art design. In this process, it is a sensory feast of oriental artistic conception and aesthetics.

The permanent Qianli Jiangshan Digital Art Exhibition has injected more cultural connotations into the Diecai Mountain Scenic Area and unlocked another way to visit the Diecai Mountain. It is an innovation and attempt.

Six: Go to Lingchuan to play gliding

Can Guilin also play paragliding? That's right, in Dabu Village, not far from the ancient town of Dawu in Lingchuan County, there is a wing-wing aviation flight camp. The wind direction here is stable and the field of view is wide, making it a paradise for gliding enthusiasts.

In sunny weather, you only need to run for a short distance to soar into the sky and enjoy the magnificent mountains and rivers of Guilin. It was afternoon when we arrived, the wind was good, and the coach was taking off from the top of the mountain with his guests.

I remember the last time I played gliding was in Nepal, and Guilin's unique landscape will definitely unlock a different experience. This camp has two take-off points, one more than 200 meters and the other more than 400 meters high.

The coaches took tourists off from the top of the mountain more than 200 meters and landed in ten minutes. Seeing that the sun was about to set, the altitude of more than 200 meters was not suitable, so we decided to take us to the takeoff point of more than 400 meters.

After about 20 minutes 'drive, we arrived at the top of the mountain. At this time, the sun was setting in the west and the afterglow was full of the sky. Before taking off, his companion was a little nervous. The coach put on gliding equipment and protective gear and told him to run and fly out when the wind came.

The whole gliding takes about twenty minutes. Starting from the top of the mountain and flying in the direction of the sun, the feeling of flying freely is really wonderful! Appreciating the mountains and rivers of Guilin from a different angle on the paraglider is very similar to splashing ink landscape paintings.

I always remember the last sentence of the movie "Waiting for the Wind": If you want to fly, it is not enough to have the courage to rush forward. We have to stop, think about nothing, let ourselves empty, and just wait quietly for the wind to come! Isn't this something we must learn in a flashy world? Don't worry, calm down, and what you want will definitely come.

7: Camping in the wild

Traveling doesn't have to go far away through mountains and rivers. Taking three friends and driving camping is also a good choice. Then you might as well come to the Canggu Wild, where you can get close to nature and enjoy the fun of wild luxury camping.

Working on weekdays is so tiring, you can come here on weekends to experience a different life. The Canggu Wild is not far from the urban area of Guilin, but it gathers many interesting things, interesting souls, and unique Guilin mountains and rivers. It is also a good choice for taking photos and checking in.

In order to better bring camping culture and outdoor life experience to modern urban people, the camp is equipped with a canopy tent area, a player building area, a team building activity area, an outdoor movie bonfire, a water sports dock and a style camping area. All types of players can experience rich forms of professional and exquisite camping in the Canggu Wild.

With mountains and rivers as the background, this will be the best place to "escape the city and relax your soul". There is no need to cross-country mountain climbing here. There is another perspective of Guilin mountains and rivers that you have not seen before.

You don't have to do a lot of preparation for camping. It is truly a place to stay with your bags and also provides set meals. You can barbecue yourself, chat with friends, drink alcohol, and rest after getting drunk.

In the final analysis, camping is actually an attitude that allows you to stay away from the hustle and troubles of modern cities, live comfortably, and return to nature to enjoy true happiness.

8: Quanzhou Tianhu skiing

You don't have to travel far if you want to ski. Guilin also has great ski resorts! Quanzhou Tianhu Ski Resort is located in Guilin Tianhu Eco-tourism Resort. It is surrounded by mountains, rivers, lakes and dense forests. It not only has beautiful scenery, but also can truly be an elf on the snow and enjoy the joy of skiing in winter!

The most convenient way to ski in Quanzhou is to drive yourself. It takes about three hours from downtown Guilin, and the car can be parked directly in the parking lot at the entrance of the ski resort. It is recommended to go in the morning and go down the mountain before dark in the afternoon. There is plenty of time to play for a day.

Because I am not a professional player and didn't bring anything to ski with me, the first thing we did when we arrived was to go to the lobby to rent ski clothes and ski gear. The ski resort is equipped with a lot of brand new skiing equipment, from clothes to gloves, goggles, etc.

Snowshoes are divided into single boards and double boards. The service staff are also very professional. When receiving the shoes, they will ask for detailed sizes, and then they will give you a larger size for easy putting on and taking off.

Tianhu Ski Resort is Guilin's first alpine outdoor ski resort and can be said to be the southernmost outdoor ski resort in China. For skiers, this is a treasure place where you can ski without going to the Northeast; for the skiing "Xiaobai" in the south, there are also professional ski instructors here who teach you how to ski hands-on to meet all our needs.

Looking at the bustling crowd on the ski resort, whether they are children or young people, they shuttle through the ski resort, doing various movements. The skiers pedal their skis and rush to the bottom of the slope like flying. The snow mist stirred up by their bodies in the spinning fly, which is exciting. This is the most correct way to open it in winter!
