Tell me about this trip

I have been to Yangshuo, Guilin many times before, but I have never had a special feeling. During this casual weekend trip, I felt the unique beauty and atmosphere of Yangshuo, Guilin, and it was worth relaxing on the weekend...

Day 1 Guilin

Guilin has come to Guilin too many times, all on business trips for meetings, and also visited many places. This time, family and friends arrived at noon. In the hot summer, it was very relaxing and comfortable to follow this route to go around and eat.

When the car arrived at the east and west alleys of Binjiang Road, we first walked to the entrance of Jingjiang Palace, which is also the side entrance of Guangxi Normal University. You can go in from the school gate with your backpack with confidence. A few of us were wearing the same clothes and taking photos. We were stopped by the security guard. Forget it was more than 100 tickets, but we could just leave a photo at the door. After strolling around the East and West Alley, I ate some iced fruit tea. My friend bought fermented bean curd as big as a table tennis ball. It tasted very good. At noon, I found an time-honored brand directly on the roadside, Wangcheng Vinegar Blood Duck Shop, and ordered a blood duck hot pot. The blood duck was duck blood (not the usual duck blood pieces, but duck blood) and the duck pieces were stewed together, with a little juice. Serve it in a large pot and eat it while making hot pot. You can add duck offal, green vegetables, tofu bamboo, etc. Because my son couldn't eat spicy food, he ordered something without spicy food. After adding duck blood and boiling the paste, the appearance will vary. The taste is not spicy and slightly fishy. The price is cheap, it can be paid for more than 200 yuan for 6 people. If you are visiting Guilin for the first time and eat specialties, I suggest finding some popular local camellia oleifera shops and serving them with Guangxi refreshments (although it is far less exquisite and delicious than Cantonese dim sum, you can try local specialties), which is more unique.

After dinner, we went to the Riyue Twin Towers Cultural Park next to us. We strolled around a small lake and photographed the Twin Towers from various angles. It was still a pretty good view. The shade was shaded all the way, and the summer afternoon was not too hot. This place is free!

Next, I suggested going to Elephant Trunk Mountain Park to climb Elephant Trunk Mountain, but it was rejected by everyone and chose a relaxed cruise ship. Along the riverside, walk directly to the docks of the two rivers and four lakes for a cruise. There are many fishing people along the way by the riverside. While walking, they are all small cat fish ~

After boarding a cruise ship, the wind blew in the river after leaving, proving that this choice was quite wise on a summer afternoon. Traveling, chatting and taking photos all the way with family and friends is just the ease and freedom of a cruise ship. Which two rivers and four lakes? Learn by yourself on Baidu ~

After getting off the cruise ship, they looked up and saw Xiaoyao Building. It was nearly evening. Everyone crossed the road and went straight to Xiaoyao Building. They climbed upstairs to enjoy the river view. With the river breeze blowing, they took some pictures of the eaves of Xiaoyao Building, feeling uncomfortable. When I came downstairs, I turned around and found that the lights were lit. It looked even more beautiful. This place is also a free must-check point, and it is even better after evening.

Back to the East and West Alley to find food. At night, I wanted to eat Guilin's specialty but lighter food, so I compared it repeatedly and chose Guilin rural food with a shepherd boy riding a yellow cow. Very good, recommended! Eat it every day. Beer fish is delicious, delicious and refreshing. The scales are very elastic, and I ate half of those who don't like fish. Meatball nest egg soup, shredded taro and green vegetables, braised pork with plum vegetables... Every dish is excellent, the price is beautiful, and the environment is literary and artistic. Guangdong should also come to open a shop!

At 8 o'clock, I was full of wine and food, so I took a chartered car that was contacted in advance and set off straight to Xianggong Mountain in Yangshuo. It takes about two hours to drive, Buick Business 350.

Xianggong Mountain is in a small village. I checked it directly on Baidu map and booked the Xianggong Mountain Villa next to it. There are many farmhouse B & Bs next to it, with more than 200 yuan per night, all of which are okay. Arriving all the way through the mountains at night, it was dark and couldn't see anything. Go directly to the hotel to rest. The sunrise is past 5 o'clock the next day, and we have to leave at 5:10 at the latest.

The next day, Yangshuo

It was stormy in the middle of the night, and I was very worried that the sunrise would be ruined the next day, so I could only hope. I went to the balcony at around 4 o'clock and looked around. There were still sporadic light rain. The sky was already bright. There were small mountains around me, graceful, like a bonsai. It turned out to be such a beautiful small mountain village...

Immediately energetic, he called everyone up and set out. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the hotel to the foot of the mountain. I come to Xianggong Mountain to see the beautiful scenery of the sunrise. Tourists come out from different B & Bs along the way. The sky is white. It should be good weather after rain. What a character! The mountain is not high, and the ticket to the mountain seems to be 30. I climbed up the mountain for about 20 minutes without stopping. There are already many people standing on several observation platforms. There are many people in the battle, with guns and short guns, and a few drones buzzing above my head. It is worthy of being a popular photography celebrity.

After the rain, the sky is constantly changing. The Li River surrounds the village. It is truly a paradise in everyone's mind.

The rising sun rises east! It's worth it!

With a beautiful scenery, various selfies, poses, and panoramic shots, the level of mobile phone photography has increased significantly.

I went down the mountain with satisfaction, returned to the hotel to eat rice noodles, and continued to set out after resting. I checked on my mobile phone and found that it took about 2 hours to walk to the ancient city of Yangshuo. The beautiful scenery made everyone interested, so they unanimously decided to walk to the ancient city of Yangshuo.

Under the guidance of the villagers and under the Baidu map, follow the mountain path, pass through different villages and different mountain views. This is the mountains and rivers you should have on foot, green eyes, orange fragrance, and unripe grapefruit yellow-skinned fruits. I have the opportunity to come again in autumn and winter and taste the fruits. Take Jiuma Huashan to reach the riverside pier, and take a ferry to the ancient town of Yangshuo opposite.

After lunch in Yangshuo Ancient Town at noon, we will charter a car back to Guilin West Railway Station. In fact, it is closer to book a high-speed train ticket at Yangshuo Station.

summary

Just use the weekend time. The itinerary is easy and rich, the countryside and mountains are pleasant, and the prices are approachable.

The beautiful food is beautiful and unforgettable ~~
