< Star Travels amp;amp;gt; A visit to Guilin on the 6th, Yangshuo, a cup of green tea to admire the mountains and rivers
opening
I can't escape the temptation of "Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world". I have been wanting to go for the past two years. I just have some annual leave left. Should I go and have a look?
Colleagues said that
Guilin? Move somewhere else.
My best friend said,
Guilin? Is it necessary to stay for so many days?
Small partners in tourist groups are more direct,
Guilin? Bad review!
…
The earliest well-known tourist city to rise,
Are we in this situation now?
Let's go once. Don't think about it in the future. It just happened that my mother had traveled to many places in the country, but she had not been to Guilin yet. So she decided on the itinerary. Three people, young people, will spend six days. It was also the first time that a combination of me, my children, and my mother traveled. We:
Watch the sunset together.
Doing handicrafts together.
Climbing together.
Draw stones together.
Stroll through the mountains and rivers together.
The itinerary consists of six days and five nights, and is arranged in Guilin and Yangshuo respectively:
DAY1 Sunset on Diecai Mountain in Shanghai-Guilin
DAY2 Xiaoyao Building, Dongxi Lane, Duxiu Peak, Jingjiang Palace
DAY3 Reed Flute Rock Seven Star Park
DAY4 Guilin-Yangshuo Shiwai Taoyuan Jiuma Painting Mountain Xianggong Mountain Yellow Cloth Reflection Wulong Longquan Sunset
DAY5 Shili Gallery Yulong River Bamboo Raft Gongnong Bridge West Street
DAY6 Yangshuo-Guilin-Shanghai
Among them, for the second and fourth days of the itinerary, for the first time, I booked a one-day trip from Sanfang travel agencies online. This type of "group tours" that have emerged in the past two years focuses on small groups, no shopping, and no catching up to attractions. Friends around me have also recommended it.
This time, I participated in the ancient Guilin Jingjiang Palace route and the Guilin-Yangshuo Lijiang route respectively. It really subverted the traditional impression of tour groups in the past. The itinerary was reasonable and professional, and it was worth visiting. It will be described in detail in the later schedule.
The time is very good for round-trip from China Eastern Airlines.
30000 miles/adult redemption.
The hotel in Guilin chose Guilin Shangri-La for three nights.
The hotel is located on the bank of the Li River in downtown Guilin. The location is good. The hotel is very suitable for parent-child families. The family rooms are fully equipped. The small animal feeding, playground and swimming pool in the back garden are all worth experiencing. The ethnic performance at night is an eye-opener for children. The family room includes about 800 breakfast per night.
Yangshuo stayed at Yuyuanjing House for two nights.
The B & B is located in the Shili Gallery Scenic Area. It has a good environment near mountains and rivers. The transportation is not very convenient, but the hotel gives a car once a day, which is very considerate. Stay in the most basic mountain room for more than 300 per night in the off-season.
The plane left at 9 o'clock in the morning and left at 6 o'clock. After going through the security check at the airport, they sat down for breakfast. The children were hungry and sad.
If I don't serve the food, I'll cry from hunger.
It's time to serve! Let's eat.
Longteng's breakfast was exchanged with vegetarian noodles and fried eggs with bread. The three of us ate enough.
The children who had eaten enough to drink immediately became in a bright mood.
Play hide-and-seek for a while, rest, and get ready to board the plane.
See if the plane is here.
Boarding the plane.
Mom took a photo of her back and couldn't help but sigh... When did this child grow so tall?
I applied for a flight passport from China Eastern Airlines for the children. This is the first time I have used it. I can store the boarding pass for each trip, and I can also ask the captain/crew chief to sign it as a souvenir.
The three-hour flight was fast and did not include meals. Mineral water and cookies were distributed halfway. Looking at the rolling mountains outside the window, we were about to arrive at our destination.
The airport was not big, so I quickly picked up my luggage and went to the parking lot to meet with the pick-up master.
It takes about an hour and a half to drive from the airport to the hotel. It was already past 1 o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived. After checking in quickly, I quickly came to Xianggong for lunch. You can order or choose from the Cantonese morning tea buffet.
When ordering, most of the local dishes are local. After taking a quick look, most of them are spicy. I thought that children can't eat them, so I'll just go ahead with the Cantonese morning tea buffet. The price is 158 per person, 118 per person, and children under 1.2 meters are free.
The self-service order is not large, so you can eat more varieties, and they all taste very good.
Children's dining chairs and tableware.
I don't know if it was the reason why the afternoon market was coming to an end, but the service was not very adequate. There was no change of bone plates or removal of empty plates during the whole meal. I even forgot to give the guests a discount when paying the bill.
Go to your room after dinner.
A wall in the lobby lists various activities of the hotel, including Lefong Guoxiang-small trains, zoos, Tai Chi, amusement parks, etc.
This food stall in the lobby is very interesting and serves authentic Guilin snacks.
The price is reasonable.
Map of the surroundings of the hotel.
The huge mascot in front of the elevator hall--the cormorant, take a photo.
I booked a family room in Guixiang on this trip and it felt great!
We were all very surprised when we opened the door. There were children's tents, small sofas, trojans, etc. in the corner of the room. The children were so excited that they wanted to take off.
I couldn't wait to lie in and give it a try. The one-and-a-half-meter wide tent was more than enough to sleep two people.
Children's sofa and small wooden horses.
The children were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.
There is also a second small tent for playing in the room.
A thoughtful welcome gift.
The hotel offers bamboo pole dance and folk dance performances in the lobby or back garden every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, which is very worth seeing.
There is Tai Chi teaching on the pool stage every morning.
The bathroom is also very distinctive.
Kids tub.
Children's spare parts and faucet extenders.
Children's slippers.
The family room has no river view. You look at the entrance of the hotel and you can see the mountains in the distance.
After a tiring journey, I was excited to play for a while. The child was low on battery and fell asleep when he fell asleep by the tent.
I woke up and ate some fruit. It was almost four o'clock. I thought the weather was good today and planned to go to Diecai Mountain to watch the sunset.
Diecai Mountain is one of the attractions that is relatively close to the hotel. It takes more than ten kilometers to take a taxi to the east gate, and Shangmingyue Peak is the closest.
11-12 January is the off-season for tourism in Guilin. Most scenic spots can enjoy half-price discounts when purchasing tickets on-site. It is very impressive. The half-price of Diecai Mountain is 12.5 yuan/person.
It was already off-season, and the sky was getting late, so there were not many tourists.
Add colors.
Climbing the mountain.
Pass through a wind tunnel.
The stone carvings were touched until they shone brightly.
There is basically no scenery halfway up Mingyue Peak, so you must reach the top.
Climb and look far into the distance, see the scenery of Mingyue Peak.
Li River in the dry season.
There are many tourists on the top of the mountain waiting for the sunset. Fortunately, there are two or three viewing platforms, which are also very large, and they are not afraid of not being able to take photos.
Everyone waited quietly together, as if time had slowed down.
Compared with the sunrise, I prefer the scenery of sunset. I watched the sun's light become softer and softer and the edges become clearer, dyeing the clouds a warm orange. Unlike the sunrise, I waited hard, but what I couldn't open my eyes.
There is a pavilion on the top of the mountain for tourists to rest, and there is also a canteen selling food and drink next to it. The uncle in the canteen is not in such a good mood to watch the sunset. When we came up, we had already closed the door early and left.
The children are here to entertain themselves and have fun.
Children said,
The sun has gone to America.
After the sun completely set, the sky suddenly darkened, and we hurriedly took advantage of the last afterglow to go down the mountain.
There is a slide down the mountain that leads directly to the foot of the mountain. It looks quite friction and won't be fast. A pair of gloves will be given to protect your hands. The sign says 25 yuan/time. In fact, the uncle who is in charge after watching the sunset at this point also wants to go home. It's worth a try to take the initiative to say that it's 10 yuan per person. The children said they were afraid and refused to skate, so we didn't try and returned the same way.
It was getting late after I came out. There were some snack bars near the exit. I found a random restaurant to eat a bowl of rice noodles and went back.
When I came back, I found that the hotel had a bonfire outdoors and was performing, so I quickly went to have a look.
This was the first time the child saw it, and it was very novel and watched it attentively for a long time.
The actors dressed in national costumes sang and danced, which was so lively.
I need to take a photo before going upstairs.
After taking a shower, you should also dance while wearing the hotel children's bathrobe. As long as you are happy.
The first day of the trip is over, good night.
SAT Hiking Jingjiang Palace to experience Guilin's past and present lifeGuilin City is not big. According to the old saying: "There is a bridge between the east and west (Jiefang Bridge), and one street between the north and south (Zhongshan Road)" is everything. This trip to Guilin not only to see the mountains and water, but also to set aside a whole day. In time, I booked a one-day tour of "Ancient Rhythm Guilin", focusing on Jingjiang Palace, and hiking around to see the past and present of Guilin City.
The itinerary was to pick up at the hotel at 9:30, so we got up early and had breakfast. Breakfast is located in the Li Coffee All-Day Restaurant on the first floor. Children's tableware and dining chairs are delivered voluntarily, and the service is in place.
For breakfast, I have to mention freshly made Guilin rice noodles. You can choose soup or mix them. The mix will be more authentic. The hotel's homemade old brine and pot side (fried pork belly) will be added. Although you need to queue up, the aunt's actions are very skillful and it will be her turn soon.
You can add hot sauce and oil, sour beans, dried radishes, peanuts, etc., as well as tomato scrambled egg topping.
The new day started with this bowl of rice noodles. After eating it for five consecutive days, I still couldn't forget it after returning to Shanghai.
Another specialty food is Camellia oleifera, which is ground into powder and then boiled. The bitter and spicy food is mixed with some unspeakable flavors... Although it is served with fried rice and fruits, I still can't get used to it.
Freshly made pancakes, fruits and fried dough sticks.
Bean pudding.
There are also many varieties of porridge and vegetables.
In the past, I liked to eat buffet breakfast with milk soaked in wheat rolls and butter on bread. In the past two years, I still liked Chinese noodles and cakes. My stomach was satisfied and comfortable.
There is still time after dinner. Go to the back garden of the hotel. There is a large lawn to play with.
Children dancing while walking.
Outdoor playground.
There is also a door here that you can directly swipe your room card in and out. You can cross the road and you will find the Lijiang River, which is very convenient.
The hotel's mini zoo offers a daily small animal feeding experience. 50 yuan/time, you can feed all animals, timetable:
We don't have enough time today. We told the children to come and feed them tomorrow. Let's say hello first today.
Ostrich.
Black swan and duck.
Domestic chickens, pheasants and rabbits.
Peacock baby.
Practice opening the screen ing.
koi.
The hotel's garden greening coverage is in place.
There are two outdoor swimming pools in size. It is late autumn and is not suitable for swimming. Only one with water is left as a landscape.
The renovation of the exterior wall of the hotel will not affect occupancy.
It's almost time. GO Xiaowu appeared on time and set off!
Jingjiang Palace is located at No. 1 Wangcheng Road, Xiufeng District, Guilin City. The next attractions are concentrated near the Palace and measured with footsteps.
This one-day tour starts from the main entrance of Jingjiang Wangfu, along the central axis to visit the Chengyun Hall and the Bedrooms to Duxiu Peak, and overlooking the top. After going down the mountain, you will pass through Gongyuan and have a lunch break on Fengbei Road; after dinner, you will stroll along Heping Lane to the East and West Alley to experience woodblock printing, visit the Zhuangyuan Gallery, climb Xiaoyao Tower to enjoy the scenery around, and go to Yi Coffee to look at Xiangshan. The journey ends and is very fulfilling.
Entering from the entrance you will reach the Chengyun Hall. The history of Jingjiang Palace is more than 30 years older than that of the Forbidden City. It was originally the Wangfu Palace of Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Zhu Shouqian. Sun Yat-sen and his wife lived there during the war. Now, part of it is a tourist attraction and part of it is Guangxi Normal University. Campus.
There are three treasures in this photo. Guess what they are?
The Chengyun Hall is entered in batches. The ticket here includes unified explanations and video appreciation, so you can learn more about science.
Chinese narration with English subtitles.
Nuo noodles.
Nuo is a primitive religious ritual that wears a mask to exorcise ghosts and eliminate diseases. It originated from ancient witchcraft and is a mysterious and ancient primitive ritual.
The children said this was a face change.
The royal palace honors.
After the indoor tour, after leaving the Chengyun Hall, you can see another distinctive place in the palace.
The couple trees-locust trees and banyan trees grow in tight arms. If you don't look carefully, they are like a tree. I don't know whether the people who planted them did it intentionally or unintentionally.
Fuquan Well was worshipped by candidates from the Qing Dynasty Gongyuan as a god and must drink auspicious water before taking the exam.
The entire scenic area is lined with trees, and the ones that grow are more lush than the ones outside. It is indeed a treasure land of feng shui.
GO Xiaowu is very eloquent. She talks about the history of Wangcheng and Guilin like a lot of treasures. My mother and I are stunned when we hear it. This three-and-a-half-year-old child has no concept at all. Fortunately, she has her fun. The entire scenic area and the entire day's itinerary have some fun to watch and have fun. Looking at her smiling face, you know that you don't feel bored at all.
Keep moving forward, Guoxue Hall.
Children dancing.
I like this one very much. The children pretended to take pictures of us, and Xiao Wu took pictures of us from behind.
Xiao Wu enthusiastically photographed our backs, and the child ran away.
Further ahead is Duxiu Peak.
Monument to Dr. Sun Yat-sen: Sun Yat-sen will never die.
Although Duxiu Peak is not the highest point of Guilin City, its unique location and shape is set as the "backer" of the palace.
The inscription reads:
"Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world, and the jade and the blue are very valuable."
It comes from Wang Zhenggong, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Although the road to Duxiu Peak is not long, it is very steep and requires some effort.
Climb to the top and overlook the panoramic view of Guilin City and Wangfu. It is very spectacular. It is worthy of being the "First Peak in Guilin".
The first peak in Guilin.
It was almost 12 o'clock after coming down from Duxiu Peak, and the children were hungry. We didn't go to Gongyuan and went straight to lunch. There were many dining options nearby. We came to eat Chunji Roast Goose, a very famous chain Cantonese restaurant in Guilin.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Roast goose
Must-order the signature dish. The skin is crispy and the meat is tender, and there is a lot of juice.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟芋头扣肉
Lipu taro with Guangxi characteristics is a perfect combination with fat thick-cut pork belly. When bitten together, it does not have the fat feeling of pork at all. It just suffices to eat too much.
I want to see the snail.
Spicy and delicious, the meat of the river snail is firm and full.
They are eager to fry them.
I gave this to Samsung because I could eat obvious large grains of ginger and didn't like it.
Stir fry seasonal vegetables.
Open-plan kitchen, tea and fruit are self-service, which is a good restaurant.
GO doesn't eat with us. After dinner, we meet up and slowly stroll back to the front door of the palace, heading towards the east and west alleys.
Xiao Wu is taking photos of us again. This gate is very photogenic.
I feel that every city has such a street. Sanfang and Qixiang in Fuzhou and Guanqian Street in Suzhou. They have gone through hundreds of years of ups and downs and have been renovated in different times, retaining some traces of history, but more of them are the characteristics of the present era: a variety of trendy shops.
Take a walk and see. One of the afternoon's schedule is woodblock rubbings, which is here in this thick expo.
The semi-open area here is the engraving workshop, where the patterns of engraving are selected, color matching, and rubbings are all here.
There is a small patio in the middle, and on the right is a cultural and creative supplies store.
Various engraving styles are simple and complex, and some are superimposed with multiple colors. The patterns include traditional zodiac signs, Guilin mountains and rivers, even silver notes, and the piglet Page, which children like.
The dyes used for rubbings are all made of these natural materials.
Let's start, we picked a red unicorn pattern first.
It is not difficult to operate, just apply dye evenly on the raised engraving plate, then cover it with rice paper, take it off and print the pattern.
If you apply too much, you will find a mass of color blocks with indistinguishable patterns. If you have too few pictures, the color will not be full. Under the guidance of the staff, it will be okay to try a few more pictures after the printing is wasted.
Start printing.
This step must be done in one go, and don't hesitate, otherwise it won't be clear when printed.
Open it and have a look ~~
The children looked very satisfied.
I'll give it a try.
Get~ We also printed a dog and two-color Guilin landscape, and now we take it home and hang it on the wall to record memories.
After printing, go to the cultural and creative supplies store to have a look.
There are notebooks with rubbings as covers.
This is also a result of rubbings, which takes a lot of effort.
There are also some small fans of special colors.
From the engraving and painting, we continue to walk along the east and west alleys towards the Li River. After passing through the Zhuangyuan Corridor, we will reach Xiaoyao Tower. Xiaoyao Tower was built in the Tang Dynasty and was once the highest viewing building along the Li River. It was destroyed during the Anti-Japanese War and is now in accordance with the original condition. Newly built and free to visit.
The landscape lights are turned on at night, which is also very beautiful.
The child fell asleep, and my mother accompanied her downstairs. I climbed the Xiaoyao Building alone to have a look and looked at the city scenery and Jiefang Bridge.
There are no high-rise buildings in the urban area of Guilin, and you can see the rolling mountains looming in the distance.
After coming down, we sat downstairs together and rested for a while, chatting with GO Xiaowu.
He asked me if I was a stay-at-home mom,
I said no, I work in a bank.
He said, Oh! Bank!
Do you have to do it all day long ~~ Do you want to do ETC?
…
…
Is this the social image of our banking employees now?
Heart-piercing.
The child woke up, bought her a string of rock sugar strawberries and walked back,
Children with OCD insist on not wanting that layer of glutinous rice paper! What's wrong with glutinous rice paper? It won't stop you from eating it! No, no, no,
Pa, the whole piece fell to the ground and began to cry.
I had no choice, so I bought another one and laughed immediately.
...
Return to the Jingjiang Palace Entrance Parking Lot and drive to the last trip of the day.
The last trip is Memory Coffee located on the 6th floor of the Venus Royal Hotel, No. 11 Binjiang Road. This restaurant has a very good view and you can enjoy the scenery of the Sun and Moon Twin Towers and Elephant Trunk Mountain up close.
The meal is mainly Western food, with average taste, but mainly the scenery is excellent.
The restaurant is divided into two floors, each with indoor and outdoor. We arrived after four o'clock and there were not many guests.
You can enjoy the Twin Towers of Sun and Moon on the lower floor.
You can enjoy the Xiangshan Mountain from the terrace on the upper floor, providing a very close and unobstructed view.
Xiao Wu ordered a fruit salad for us and explained the delicious food around us, so that ended today's service.
We also ordered a cake, blew in the wind on the terrace, had afternoon tea, and looked at the scenery. The only drawback was that we would encounter smokers in the open air.
The sky turned dark after eating, so we left. Let's save room for local food for dinner.
After coming down, we passed by the vicinity of Riyue Twin Towers Park and went to Binjiang Road for dinner.
The Xinguoji Camellia oleifera recommended by Xiao Wu is available on Binjiang Road. It is already at the meal time. Business is good. When we arrived, there was still the last table in the store. We were lucky.
This should be a restaurant frequented by locals. A pot of self-service oil tea was served. I asked the waiter how to eat it, and the waiter pointed to the adjacent table in surprise:
Oh, look at how people eat it.
Boil and serve in a bowl, add fried rice, fruits and peanuts.
That's it,
Take a taste.
The following is a set of pictures to express the taste of this Camellia oleifera.
It's bitter and astringent... Is it still a little spicy? I can't tell what it tastes like. Anyway, the three of us are unable to accept it. Come, come, let's eat vegetables.
Stewed pork feet.
The stewed taste is very strong. The pork knuckle is not very crispy. It has a chewy and strong taste and is very delicious.
It's probably called stir-fried Lijiang small fish and shrimp. The spicy version. The small river shrimp can be eaten with its shells and is crisp. The fish meat seems to have been marinated, like dried fish. It tastes very delicious in the mouth.
Eat rice noodles every day, change to the wider fried rice noodles and try them.
Sour and spicy shredded potatoes, spicy version.
Boat cake. You can just order this piece. It is very friendly to our small group. It is crispy on the outside and soft and glutinous on the inside. It is a good snack.
Back at the hotel, we walked out through the door of the hotel garden and looked outside. We crossed the road and came to the Li River. If we walked forward, we could see Diecai Mountain. There was actually some smog in Guilin at night. I remember that the pm2.5 was close to 90. There were also large construction sites near the hotel. I could obviously smell the smell of dust while walking on this road. Let's go back.
The child stopped me. It turned out that her height was just enough to see spiders weaving webs between the railings, and the light outside the railings just helped us see the whole process of weaving webs very clearly. We squatted down and watched for a while.
Loop by loop, the knitting was fast and well, and it was completed in a short while. It was amazing.
Good night.
There is plenty of time today. After breakfast, I went to the mini zoo to feed the animals. There are many varieties of small animals, including ostrich, peacocks, black swans, wild pheasants, bunnies, goldfish, chickens and ducks. The living environment is very clean.
The animals seemed to be used to having dinner when strangers appeared at this time, and they all came over very proactively.
The feeding fee in the mini zoo is 50 yuan per time. It is open in the morning and afternoon. The keepers will serve a small box of vegetables such as apple cabbage and radish, as well as a bag of fish food.
The breeder will help together throughout the process, guiding the children, and will always tell some small animals 'habits and interesting stories during the feeding process:
For example, the black swan couple will fight for food, the big cock is very humble, and the little peacock is not yet one year old and loves to practice turning on the screen...
The children listened with gusto. After feeding a basket, the children had not enjoyed it yet. The breeder happily added another basket for us.
I greeted the little animals one by one and said goodbye. My schedule for this morning was to go to Reed Flute Rock.
Encounter Macaques in Sun Reed Flute Rock Seven Star ParkI checked the strategies before coming. The more famous karst cave attractions in Guilin mainly include Yinzi Rock, Reed Flute Rock and Qixing Rock.
Among them, Yinziyan is the most beautiful and peculiar. It is a typical karst landform, but it is not close to Guilin and Yangshuo. It is a long drive, so we have no arrangements;
Reed Flute Rock ranks second, and its location is regarded as a tourist attraction far away in the city. The hotel takes more than 20 yuan by taxi. It is the location of the East China Sea Dragon Palace in the 86 edition of "Journey to the West". It has also received many domestic and foreign leaders. The ticket says: 100 presidents and more than a thousand political figures.
Qixing Rock is located in Qixing Park. We bought big tickets to see the cave and also bought small tickets. We didn't go in, as we will talk about later.
The hotel takes about half an hour to reach Reed Flute Rock.
This is a scenic spot with good scenery but deep routines, alas.
After buying the tickets, someone came forward to sell the small train to Dongkou. I said we could take it when we came out and returned. The person told me seriously that there would be no more trains when we came out! One way!
I really believe it. If you walk too much with your children and cause trouble later, then take the train. It's 35 per person, and the children are free.
I bought a reed flute and played it all the way.
The full ride drives very slowly, maybe ten minutes?
There is not much scenery outside the window, and it is not difficult to walk down the road...
The key is that when we reach the entrance, we find that there is a return trip?
It's just that it wasn't the person at the foot of the mountain who was collecting the money.
The routine is deep.
The scenic spot lines up to enter the venue, and each group of tourists is assigned a guide to explain. The whole journey is about an hour, and is led by the tour guide. There is no signal inside.
The unique landforms formed over millions of years are present in front of us, and I can't help but sigh at the extraordinary craftsmanship of nature.
The young lady in the scenic area will talk about how this one looks like a pig and that one looks like a cactus... The child will also talk about her own thoughts from time to time and give full play to her imagination.
From this perspective, it is very suitable for parent-child travel. See what your children can imagine!
The cave is very cool, and it will be more comfortable to play in summer.
There are a total of three charging places in the cave, two charging for photo taking points, and one charging for viewing the 1500-year-old turtle.
Below is the first photo charging point, the location of the East China Sea Dragon Palace in the 86 edition of "Journey to the West". The routine is to announce that a 2-inch photo keychain will be given, which can be queued in turn to take photos, and a person traveling with a phone click on his mobile phone.
This is the second photo charging point, with the same routine. However, this photographer has a bad temper and starts to curse when he takes pictures with his own camera for a while.
There are two videos to watch next.
There is no turning back throughout the journey, and the lights are not always on. The lights are turned off after the team leaves, so remember to follow the tour guide.
It seems that there is a charge of ten yuan for passing by to see the turtle?
Didn't go in.
The export has already printed the photos just now in an assembly line, with thirty to forty plastic packages, sixty to seventy crystal frames, and a small key ring given away.
It's been an old routine for many years.
It's not over yet. The souvenir shop at the export has designed a labyrinth-like long passage. It is also taking great pains for tourists to miss out on what they want. It was not easy to get outdoors after winding around, but I didn't expect there to be a row of shops...
The routine is deep.
The first house has freshly squeezed sugarcane juice and pomegranate juice. Have two cups and sit down to quench your thirst.
Chairman Jiang's inscription:
Guilin's mountains and rivers are the best in the world.
Walking to the exit, someone first came over and asked if they wanted to take a bamboo raft to the exit. It turned out that there were still bamboo rafts so few steps away... he refused.
Then, several black car drivers who were soliciting customers came over, held a plastic-coated price list, stopped us in front of us, and began to introduce the one-day trip to Yangshuo blablabla...
I asked: Guilin Shangri-La, do you want to go?
Continue introducing Yangshuo one-day blabla…
Guilin Shangri-La, want to go?
Continue introducing Yangshuo one-day blabla…
I am going to Guilin Shangri-La! Are you going?!
Finally heard me speak,
He said he wouldn't go.
Keep moving forward,
Finally I saw the taxi,
Knock on the window,
Excuse me, are you going to Guilin Shangri-La?
The master said to go.
I was worried and asked again:
That, you type the meter?
The master said to print the meter.
Get in the car.
I don't want to find anywhere else to find food, so I can just go back to the small restaurant opposite the hotel to eat.
After ordering a few dishes, I told the waiter not to use spicy food, and agreed readily.
The first fried beef with lotus root tip made me laugh and cry. There was no chili, but this lotus root tip tasted pickled pepper...
The taste is quite good and goes well with the meal.
stir-fry radish leaves.
Pulled Lipu taro is ready-made and reheated. The taste is average. It is a pity that such a good taro is so good.
Steamed pork ribs with glutinous rice.
After eating and going back to his room to rest, it was also time for the children to take a nap.
After some hesitation, I decided to go to Seven Star Park. It is said that I can see many monkeys. Facts have proved that there are really many monkeys! Worth a visit.
Seven Star Park is a comprehensive park. The entrance fee is 55 yuan/person. The zoo and Qixingyan inside collect separate tickets. If you are just going to see monkeys like us, it is recommended to enter the nearest way from the Southwest Gate, which is about the location of Houqu. You can ask the locals.
Tickets to the park are free for Guilin citizens, and it also seems to be a good place to take a walk after dinner.
Seeing the small marshmallow shop at the foot of the mountain means that you have arrived at the entrance of Monkey Mountain.
This is the first time that the children have had marshmallows, and they are very happy.
Hold the cotton candy and go find the monkey!
Mom, look!
Monkey!
…
Growing up,
Anyway, I have never seen so many wild monkeys so close.
My mom said,
She's never seen it either.
Describing it all over the mountains and plains,
No exaggeration at all.
With the steps as the boundary, tourists feed the prepared food, oranges and bananas. The monkeys carefully keep a distance, eat and hold, and observe humans.
I didn't prepare anything. I grabbed the small oranges and bananas from the hotel before going out, and they quickly used them up. I took out some biscuits and red dates. They didn't seem to like them very much.
Fortunately, there are so many tourists watching the monkeys together.
Otherwise, I'm really scared.
It's getting late, so I left Monkey Mountain and slowly walked out of the North Gate.
There are some snack bars near the north gate, so I randomly found one and ordered some small dishes.
Hurry up and finish eating and go back to the hotel to watch the evening performance.
SUN Playing in Guixiang-Evening Folk PerformanceThe evening performance will be divided into two sessions, first with a bamboo pole dance. Today's weather is good, so it will be arranged outdoors.
The cast members will invite all guests to experience it, and the cast members who control the bamboo pole are also very careful to cooperate and are not afraid of getting pinched. hahahaha.
It also provides ethnic costumes that can be worn in concave shapes.
Children especially like it and think they are beautiful.
Halftime, there will be performances later.
Christmas decorations were decorated in the lobby, and the children loved them very much.
Take a group photo here.
A background board has been set up on one side of the lobby, with a reflection of the classic yellow cloth of the Li River. Look forward to it.
It's time to start the excitement!
The performance is composed of several songs and dances with ethnic characteristics, mainly Miao and Dong characteristics. The host will also sing a song, which is very exciting.
The host sang a song.
There is also an interactive session in the second half, inviting guests to go up and dance together. Children like to participate the most.
At the end of the performance, the cast and crew will also take photos with the guests one by one.
It was a very fulfilling night and a great experience. When you stay in Guixiang, you must remember to set aside time to participate in the evening.
MON's "Peach Blossom Land"Today is the second one-day trip I have booked. I can just set off from Guilin to Yangshuo. After breakfast in the morning, I came to the mini zoo to say hello to the little animals and was about to leave Guilin.
Today's GO Huzi is not the same style as yesterday's Xiao Wu. He is very cheerful, has been smiling foolishly, and his driving skills are also very good. Because it is a small group of 2-6 people, a girl from Guangdong came out to travel alone today. She traveled with us for a day and set off after we gathered early in the morning.
The one-day trip mainly includes Shiwai Taoyuan, Jiuma Painting Mountain, Xianggong Mountain, and Huangbu Reflection. They are all attractions near Yangshuo, and finally arrive at Yangshuo Hotel.
The first attraction on the itinerary, the World's Beyond Peach Blossom Garden, is built according to Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden. This masterpiece,"The Story of Peach Blossom Garden", which has been passed down through the ages, has given future generations endless imagination space. Maybe everyone's Peach Blossom Garden is different. Review it:
"... I suddenly met a peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps across the bank. There were no miscellaneous trees. The grass was delicious and the fallen trees were colorful. The fishermen were very surprised and moved forward again, wanting to destroy the forest.
When the forest runs out of water, you will find a mountain. There is a small mouth in the mountain, as if there is light. He abandoned the boat and entered through the mouth. At first, he was extremely narrow, and his talents were able to understand others. After taking ten steps, the light suddenly became clear. The land is flat and vast, and the houses are like, including fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo. Traffic along the paths, chickens and dogs hear each other. Among them, men and women dress like outsiders. Her yellow hair hangs down and I feel happy..."
After entering, we will first take a boat tour of Yanzi Lake. The twenty-seat Wupeng boat is equipped with a small guide. After passing a few such points far along the way, the cast members will perform a short period, and this repeats.
Due to the geographical advantages of excellence, this mountain just happens to have a small mouth in the mountain, allowing cruise ships to pass through it. However, unfortunately, the large area of so-called "four seasons peach blossoms" that I saw after the "suddenly enlightened" completely destroyed my mind. The image of Peach Blossom Spring is like a fairyland.
The little tour guide said,"This is a peach blossom all year round. It only blooms but not bears fruit. Everyone can see through it but not break it!"
The lines are really... Good.
After a boat tour, you can continue to experience the unique customs of the Dong, Zhuang and Miao ethnic minorities along the way.
Tourists can participate in osmanthus wine, xx dance, hydrangea throwing, etc.
The sky was gloomy and the wind was strong, and the little cute was in a good mood.
After experiencing the folk customs, there is an antique building complex near the exit, with some small scenery to walk around.
Push and grind experience.
You can also go upstairs and have a look.
Of course, the main function of such a large building is actually a souvenir store.
dazzling array,
Everything you need.
There is no corresponding map here.
The child didn't know what game he was playing and was very excited.
Returning to the exit, it was getting late and I was ready to have lunch.
The next itinerary is all near Xianggong Mountain, which is relatively concentrated, so it is reasonable to arrange to play together. It is recommended to charter a car or travel with a group. The mountain roads are rugged, and driving by yourself if you are unfamiliar with the road conditions.
Lunch was settled at a farmhouse next to Jiuma Painting Mountain, a small restaurant whose name I couldn't remember.
In Yangshuo's territory, restaurants large and small have beer fish. Come on.
Native chicken.
Lijiang shrimp.
Bamboo rice.
Wild vegetable soup.
As the old rules, GO does not eat at the same table as us. We eat at the same table with our Cantonese girls and ordered more dishes. The taste is good. The price is more than 400 for three big ones and one small ones. The price is okay.
After dinner, we walked to Jiuma Painting Mountain. Jiuma Painting Mountain is actually a mountain growing strangely and looks like nine horses painted.
How many horses can you tell?
The following is a schematic diagram of the nine horses sent to us by Hu Zi.
Hu Zi taught us how to throw water, but I can't learn this skill anyway ~ Another task is to pick up my favorite stones and wait for painting. This child is good at it.
I picked up a lot and couldn't stop the rhythm.
I was so happy to have such a big one.
The next stop is Xianggong Mountain. On the road, you will see plastic films all over the mountains and plains. Hu Zi said that these are kumquats grown by mountain people. They are wrapped to prevent the fruits from falling too early.
Tickets for Xianggong Mountain Gate are 60 yuan/person, and children and 65-year-old people within 1.3 meters are free of charge. The business hours are 8-18 o'clock.
The entrance to the attraction is already halfway up the mountain. After passing the ticket gate, it is simply climbing the mountain. It usually takes about ten minutes to reach the top, and the difficulty is moderate. After reaching the summit, there are three scattered viewing platforms, with the same viewing angle.
Looking out from the top of the mountain, there are rolling peaks in the distance, and the clear water of the Li River meanders. It is worthy of being the "First Bay of the Li River"! This location is also an excellent point to watch the sunrise, but we have to climb the mountain at four o'clock to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the sea of clouds and the sunrise.
The wind is very strong on the top of the mountain. Even if you feel the breeze on the ground, don't ignore it. Fortunately, you have a hat to protect you from the sun and the wind, otherwise your hair won't hold down.
A cup of green tea, respect the mountains and rivers.
Hu Zi brought the tea, water and utensils on his back. He even bought oranges at the foot of the mountain for the children to eat.
The weather is strong and the sky is clear.
Hu Zi enthusiastically instructed us to take photos. GO comes standard with Huawei and likes the photos very much.
Next, I went to paint rocks, rest my feet, and have afternoon tea.
The name of this B & B is very interesting. Baoxiong Village is located near the reflection of RMB 20. There are not many supporting facilities in the surrounding area. Including a one-day trip can be regarded as a form of publicity.
The small courtyard is very exquisite.
This is where we draw stones.
The boss brought snacks and osmanthus tea.
The children couldn't wait to start, because it was acrylic paint, and they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to wash it off. The B & B also provided us with anti-dressing clothes.
He looked serious.
However, in the end, all her stones were smeared into a ball of brown.
The boss moved out the treasure of the town store ~~~
Wow! The painting is so wonderful and has a sense of layers.
Well, I also copy one.
After painting, place them on the wall and arrange them neatly for drying.
Have a snack at this time.
I felt that the outdoor light was good, so I used a few cat ears to trick the children into coming out and taking a pat.
See if it's dry?
Children are really real,
I will write all the little thoughts on your face.
For example, the one below,
"My mother insisted that I take photos with the stones she drew."
At the next stop, the reflection of the 20-yuan yellow cloth will only see the newly built Xingping Wharf appearing hard among the mountains and rivers. Of course, this is not the most disturbing thing. The cruise ships coming and going on the Li River are the ones.
Even in the off-season, the density of cruise ships is still very high, and queues pass by in front of them.
This uncle named Huang Sixu claimed to be the fisherman with a background of 20 yuan. He wrote, directed and performed a program called "Fishing Boat Singing Late" here. I foolishly thought that it was really a fisherman who would really fish here at this time, but it turned out that it was not, it was really just a performance.
The first session was to take a photo with himself and his osprey.
The second link is to admire his osprey catching fish, that is, he throws a fish in the box into the river, and the osprey jumps down and brings the fish back.
The third link is the climax, the casting of the net. We have agreed to cast the net three times and ask tourists to prepare for the camera.
Someone asked: Net two fish and come up and have a look?
Answer: There are no fish here anymore...
Well, just shoot and cast the net.
After the performance, the child was still immersed in the fun of moving stones.
If you go deeper, you will find the real 20-yuan background.
Twenty-yuan RMB pattern landscape.
---Recorded by the People's Bank of China
Well... I really didn't mean to make this place so depressed.
The real scene is like this, because the water volume is not large and the weather is average, so it looks slightly ordinary.
Hu Zi sent us a seller's show. It's still very beautiful during the rainy season and good weather.
When did children learn to take photos with rocks? This little pose is posing.
After the tour, I returned to Baoxiongzhuang B & B to pick up the stones we drew. When I looked up and saw this scene, I murmured, Can I see the sunset in the mountains when I return?
Brother Hu Zi drove fast and steadily all the way, and when he arrived at Wulongquan, he was just in time! Got it!
There were already many people on the roadside, so we watched it quietly together. This time, it was different from the sunset on Diecai Mountain. This time, we were also deep among the mountains and peaks.
Go down the mountain little by little.
See you tomorrow, Father Sun.
When we got back to the car, we all praised Hu Zi for his great driving skills. He smiled sheepishly and said,"I'm afraid I won't catch up, so I'll try to hurry up."
After the trip, we headed straight to Yangshuo B & B. While we were watching the sunset, Hu Zi had contacted the B & B I stayed in in advance and asked how to get there. We arrived smoothly all the way and said goodbye to Hu Zi and the Guangdong girl. Goodbye.
Yuyuan Jingshe is located in the Shili Gallery Scenic Area in Yangshuo County, along the Yulong River. There are nearby attractions such as Gongnong Bridge, Butterfly Spring, and Da banyan Tree. It should be noted that foreign vehicles cannot enter the scenic spot before 5 p.m., so you can contact the hotel and send a car to pick it up.
The hotel provides a pick up or drop off from Yangshuo County once a day. Just call the front desk directly and ask for an arrangement. The price charged after exceeding one time is reasonable.
A la carte service is provided for lunch and dinner. The price is reasonable and the taste is good. Beer fish, Lijiang shrimp, and seasonal vegetables can experience Yangshuo specialties without leaving the hotel.
I ordered beer fish again and switched to tomato flavor.
Seasonal vegetables.
The children were hungry and ate very well.
Eat enough → make trouble → be criticized → cry.
Eat your fill and go to your room.
Having a bathtub in the room was a surprise, but the location was a bit unreasonable and there was no cover. It felt a little cold after soaking in it.
Room.
There is also a small tatami spot in the corner of the room.
The children looked around and pretended to be working.
It's time to end today's trip.
TUE Yulong River Drifting Gongnong Bridge West StreetBreakfast at B & B is 20 yuan/person, which is a very affordable price. Although the variety is not as many as that of a big hotel, it is absolutely rich. A bowl of hot Guilin rice noodles is standard every day, as well as porridge, stir-fried vegetables, bread, steamed buns, boiled eggs, soy milk, fruits, etc., start the day off.
Guilin rice noodles are now made.
Continue rice noodles. At first, I wasn't used to eating sour bamboo shoots, which had a smelly taste, but I didn't expect that I would miss it a little after returning to Shanghai.
After breakfast, I can finally go to the hotel and have a look outdoors. The hotel is close to the Yulong River and hidden among the green mountains and clear waters. There is a large garden outdoors, outdoor swimming pool, lotus pond, etc. The layout is reasonable and very open.
The outdoor children's play areas include slides, swings, seesaws, sand ponds, etc., which are very suitable for families with parents and children.
There was a roar from the sky from time to time, and a few paragliders flew in. The scenery above must be very good.
I went back to my room to tidy up and planned to visit Gongnong Bridge. The front desk introduced that the hotel was only a quarter of an hour walk and the scenery was nice.
Let's go, let's go out to play!
There are actually bicycles and battery cars at the entrance of the B & B, and seats for taking children. The price is very cheap, costing more than ten to twenty yuan a day. In fact, the battery car is very convenient to visit Yangshuo. Unfortunately, I don't know how to ride it, so I couldn't learn how to cram Buddha before going out, so I chose to set out on foot.
It is said that Yangshuo's mountains and rivers dominate Guilin, and the Yulong River is known as the "Little Li River". It is undoubtedly the essence of Yangshuo. You can enjoy it well by stepping on the Workers 'Bridge.
There are many mother-in-law selling small things on the bridge, but they only think this wreath is special and buy one for the children for three yuan.
I wear it too.
We saw that this was still the end of bamboo raft rafting, which looked good. When we came to Yangshuo, we actually wanted to experience bamboo raft rafting. However, before we came, we saw many strategies saying that bamboo rafts were electric, and we couldn't arrange them in advance. Seeing the most primitive artificial bamboo raft rafting here, we promptly found a black car driver on the roadside and went straight to the starting point.
The Yulong River rafting is divided into many sections, including Jinlong Bridge-Jiuxian, Jiuxian-Xiangui Bridge, Shuiedi-Wanjing, etc. In fact, the scenery of each section is not much different, mainly due to the difference in distance. The longest one is two hours. We took a bamboo raft from Shuiedi to Wanjing (Gongnong Bridge) section, which was about 40 minutes.
The ticket is 160 yuan/raft. Whether adults or children, each bamboo raft is limited to 2 people. People under 1 meter and over 70 years old cannot ride. The ticket office sells tickets according to the number of bamboo rafts. The three of us also need to buy two bamboo raft tickets. We waited at the ticket office for a while and wanted to find someone to fight. Before we could wait, we left directly. I took the children and my mother. Sit on a raft alone.
It is recommended to travel lightly on a bamboo raft. The bamboo raft is not large and there is no place to put anything except for two seats. Protect your valuables and camera. The whole journey takes a long time. Except for midsummer, there are generally no parasols on the raft. Remember to protect yourself from sun protection.
Let's go!
The rafting scenery of the Yulong River is pleasant. Compared with the rafting of the Li River, there are many fewer tourists. More importantly, this is a bamboo raft made of real bamboo. The raft is purely artificial and does not carry electricity. Enjoy the tranquility, as if time is still.
You must wear your life jacket when you get on board and quietly enjoy the scenery along the way. The river is very clear, and you can clearly see the swaying water and grass underneath. There are endless peaks on both sides of the bank. The boatman introduced: Some look like mice, some look like monkeys, and some are like a couple... Watching and listening, it's really the case.
The strange peaks are listed in thousands of shapes.
The boatman will hint at asking for a tip, twenty to thirty yuan, and talk more about the mountains and water on both sides. He will also stop and take photos of you in the best position. He can drive it for 50 minutes. If he doesn't, he will row faster and not stop for 35 minutes to end the battle.
I chose to give.
The boatman recommended stopping at one of the photo spots. In fact, it was still a little difficult to take pictures with children like this. The boat was a little swaying, the baby was a little scared, and I was a little nervous.
There will be several such slopes along the way. During the dry season, the boatman needs to come down and push them to get through.
Back to Gongnong Bridge, return the same way, and settle lunch.
Across the Gongnong Bridge there is a row of restaurants with similar dishes, such as beer fish, braised local chicken, bamboo rice, Guilin rice noodles, etc. Just choose one at random.
Chicken screws.
Stuffed tofu.
Seasonal vegetables.
Bamboo rice.
After dinner, I returned to the B & B, took a nap, and got up full of energy. The children also wanted to go outdoors in the B & B for a while.
Swing.
I am very satisfied with the expression and color of this group of photos, so let's put more photos on.
After hesitation, I decided to come to the West Street to have a look. I am afraid of regretting if I don't come. Although I came, I still regret it.
The entrance KFC bought a cone and was full of joy.
West Street is a small street that sells all kinds of food, drink, and specialty souvenirs.
Walking around, there is no special store I want to walk in and take a closer look.
The children insisted on taking a photo with the peacock.
It's like this at the end. It's very ordinary. Let's go back.
Master Shifu has seen beer fish n times in Yangshuo. Let's eat it here for your last meal.
Beer fish.
Stuffed with meat.
Mushroom stuffed.
Seasonal vegetables.
Cheers! A complete journey!
This meal was the most expensive one on the trip, 480 yuan, which was simply too expensive.
An old man on the roadside was selling kumquats. He bought a package and tried it. The package cost ten yuan a package. It was very sweet and delicious.
I called and asked the hotel to pick it up. Let's go back.
My mother and I packed our bags, and the children had a good time.
It rained heavily all night, the temperature dropped sharply, and even my breathing was cold.
Fortunately, I was preparing to return today. I folded all the clothes I could wear early in the morning. After breakfast, I went to the yard to take pictures of the flowers and plants after the rain.
The check-off at 9:30 is 270 yuan. The five-seat car will be delivered to Guilin Liangjiang Airport, which takes about 1.5 hours. Before leaving, the B & B waiter also stuffed me a box of osmanthus cakes, which were very delicious.
At this point, the trip to Guilin came to a successful conclusion.
