As a representative of mountains and rivers, Guilin is certainly a good place to travel. Because there are relatives in Guilin and several college classmates in Guangxi, they go to Guilin for eating, drinking and having fun almost every year. They are very familiar with Guilin, and if they walk more, they will always step into a hole. Of course, as Guilin, which has been planted with grass in Chinese textbooks since childhood, there are many surprises in addition to pits.

Let's first talk about the "pits" of Guilin's visit.

Jingjiang Palace is the most popular attraction in Guilin. It is connected to Guangxi Normal University and is also a 5A attraction. Tickets are extremely expensive, 120 yuan. Both are 5A, but the Forbidden City is only 60 yuan. It's fine if the price is expensive, but the core is really not good. Many buildings are newly built. What about the promised residence of the fallen and down-and-down prince of the Ming Dynasty? Just like this? There was no aura of an ancient mansion at all. The second is that the commercial atmosphere is too strong. Everyone makes money just to make money. They completely ignore the "original intention" of this attraction and stroll around it, spend the money, but their mood becomes worse.

There are quite a few temples in Guilin. Everyone now knows that temples in many places have become a business. The same is true in Guilin. They ask for money for everything. Ask for incense and worship Buddha and ask for money. Touch all turtles and ask for money for thousands of years. In short, there are many projects that require money. Many times it is difficult to show up and refuse to pay. Teach everyone a way to pretend to be a Christian, which can help you avoid many pitfalls like this kind of religious temple.

Elephant Trunk Mountain is a scenic spot that people love and hate. What they love is that it is the city emblem of Guilin. Generally, when you come to Guilin, you must go and observe it. Moreover, the shape is so unique that it is the location of many shots of the 86 edition of Journey to the West. What I hate is that the entrance ticket to this place is also alarmingly expensive, 70 yuan, because the entire scenic area is very small and the price is very low. It takes a few minutes to climb to the top of the mountain. There is a Puxian Tower there, which is similar to the pagoda attribute of "The King covers the earth and the tiger, and the pagoda trembles the river demon". Other than that, there is nothing to watch, it is mainly for taking photos! Take pictures!

Many people go back to Shili Gallery in Yangshuo. I suggest renting a bicycle and wandering along the Yulong River. The experience is much better than going to places such as Da Banyan Tree, Moon Mountain, and Butterfly Valley, because these attractions are really a fighter jet in garbage. There is also a paradise over there, a scenic spot transformed from a village. I really don't recommend going.

After saying "pit", of course, I also want to talk about Guilin's surprises.

You must swim the Lijiang River, otherwise how can you live up to the advertisements in the Chinese textbooks? The most essential section of bamboo raft rafting is the section from Yangdi to Jiuma Huashan and Jiuma Huashan to Xingping. The 20-yuan background picture is on that section. I think it is worth giving a tip to the raft workers. This is also a "hidden rule". The most important thing is that he will explain the scenery along the way to you, talk and laugh, and your mood will be good. They will also stop for you to take photos. In short, it is quite cost-effective.

The Yulong River has always been a place I like very much. It is shaped like a small family with clear water and has several small slopes. It is very cool to drift. The scenery along the coast is idyllic. The sky is high and the clouds are painted, and the sky is in charge of the waves. The whole person has become Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Guilin's karst caves are also very famous. Qixing Rock, Crown Rock and Reed Flute Rock are all worth visiting. If you can only choose one, it is recommended to go to Reed Flute Rock. Especially in summer now, the cave caves are warm in winter and cool in summer, making it very comfortable. Reed Flute Rock is also the filming location of the Crystal Palace of the East China Sea Dragon Palace in the 86th edition of "Journey to the West"(I feel that Guilin has become a special edition of Journey to the West).

Traveling the two rivers and four lakes at night is quite beautiful at night, especially when couples travel by boat. Then go to Guilin's famous historical and cultural streets, East and West Alley. This street is antique and a bit like an ancient market in a TV series. Buy some specialties, handicrafts and so on.

It is worth mentioning that there are many inns in East and West Alley that feel very like "inns" and have the meaning of Jianghu. Guilin Qingsanshe Inn, where I stayed twice, is also there. It is an inn with a very healing effect. The artistic conception of "leaning against the window to listen to the wind and rain, and looking at the Jianghu Road" is ready to be seen. The decoration in the store is both ancient and beautiful, and the breeze is clear. I make a pot of tea alone, watching the smoke swirling and the fragrance of tea, my thoughts are long, and many troubles disappear. I would like to recommend Guilin Qingsanshe Inn to everyone here.

Overall, Guilin is still a city worth visiting. By avoiding those pits, our traveling mood will be more pleasant and playing will be more enjoyable!
