Day1: Guangzhou-Guilin

There are many bullet trains from Guangzhou to Guilin, so Guilin Station is preferred because it is in the urban area, Guilin is next to the north and Guilin is farther away from the west. Stay near the central square, which is close to the scenic spots.

It was already noon when I arrived in Guilin to check in. After lunch in Dongxi Lane, I took the bus directly to Elephant Trunk Mountain (actually, you can walk there directly, Gate 3 is relatively close to Dongxi Lane.) It is recommended to buy tickets online in advance (but you need to buy one hour before you can enter the park. I bought 51 online, but I bought 55 on site) The gate is Gate 1. Xiangshan Mountain is actually very small. You can go down the mountain by climbing to the top of the mountain and reaching the observation deck. I took photos in the park and stopped walking and finished shopping for more than 2 hours. To be honest, I just wanted to see the elephant nose in the promotional photo. Nothing else, but the ticket price is decent. At least it is a 5A scenic spot.

I had dinner on Temple Street in the evening. Dongxi Lane is newly opened, similar to a comprehensive shopping mall. Zhengyang Pedestrian Street is a small shop selling everything. Temple Street is full of snacks, and the prices are relatively friendly to the people. There is also Shangshui Food Street, which is a one-stop service and is all next to each other so you can shop together.

After eating, go to the two rivers and four lakes to digest food. Go to the end of Zhengyang Pedestrian Street and you can see the appearance of the Sun and Moon Twin Towers.

Delicacies: Guilin rice noodles, Chunji roast goose, Xiaonanguo, tea maker (local beverage shop in Guilin, similar to Xi tea), osmanthus cake from Jin Shunchang

Day2 Longji Terrace

It is recommended to sign up for a one-day trip to Longji Terrace. I chose an 8-person business tour with a single ticket, and the price was quite affordable, 225. Because it was too far to get to the Longji Terrace, we traveled back and forth for almost 6 hours. Later, on the way to Yangshuo, I heard a man say that he would first take a bus from Guilin to Longji-Longsheng, 30 yuan. Then take a bus to Longji Terrace in Longsheng, 20 yuan. The entrance ticket for the scenic spot is 80, plus 55 for a one-way cable car. This price is actually similar to that of a group.

Of course, there are also bus groups, which are cheaper. But all groups will first go to Huangluo Yaozhai, which is Changfa Village. Mainly watching performances, 80 yuan. We didn't even read it. The stockade is really not interesting. It is all for selling things, so we didn't stay in the stockade for a long time. There are several Longji terraces. We went to Jinkeng Dazhai. The cable car went up to the Golden Buddha Top and walked down. The scenery was really spectacular.

There is a direct bus from Guilin South Bus Station to Yangshuo, which takes an hour and has many flights. I booked the ticket in advance on Ctrip, 27, which is very convenient. It would be nice to have the hotel located near West Street. There are a lot of hotels on Yangshuo West Street. I chose Home Inn, and booking in advance is not expensive. There is a bus to Xijie when you get off the bus at Yangshuo Bus Station. If there are many people, you can call Didi. It costs nine or ten yuan to get to Xijie. It's actually very close. After arriving at the hotel, I packed up and went to the Shili Gallery for a ride. There are many car rentals near West Street, including bicycles and battery cars. The mountain bike I rented is 20 a day, but it is actually quite cheap. Just navigate to Moon Mountain on your mobile phone (the end of Shili Gallery). It takes a little more than 2 hours to ride back and forth and take photos. I didn't enter the scenic spot. Just keep riding along the road. There are cycling paths along the road, which are well built. You will pass by on the way: Jiuli Huahai, Butterfly Spring, Big Banyan Tree, Moon Mountain (there are a few others I don't remember), small attractions all buy tickets individually, and the scenery along the way is really beautiful. If you are not in a hurry, you can choose your favorite attractions to visit.

I went rafting on the Li River in the afternoon. I chose the one-way Yangdi-Jiuma Section, the fare is 95

The Lijiang River rafting stops boarding at 4:30 p.m., and a crew of four people can make up the number of people there, or a fee of 30 per person to make up the space. There is a bus to Yangdi at Yangshuo Bus Station. The fare is 15 and the journey takes more than an hour. You will get off at Yangdi Wharf. The scenery of Lijiang River rafting is very beautiful. It is a PC tube engine bamboo raft. The main purpose is to enjoy the beautiful scenery. You can see Jiuma Painting Mountain for about 50 minutes. After getting off the boat, you can take a free battery car to Xingping Ancient Town. The yellow cloth on the back of the 20 yuan is reflected in Xingping Ancient Town. You can see it when you get off the battery car and walk forward. There is a bus to Yangshuo at Xingping Bus Station. Pay attention to the signs and you can reach the bus station. It is very close. The bus back to Yangshuo is at the latest 18:30 p.m., or you can ask the master in advance to confirm the latest time. The ticket price is 10 yuan.

Visit West Street at night. West Street is divided into many blocks. If you want to go to the bar and enter the bar on the map, choose a bar name and follow it, you will find a bar on the street. There are also shopping malls and many snacks.

Cuisine: Master Shifu Beer Fish, Ice Spring Soymilk

Day4 Yulong River rafting at sunrise on Xianggong Mountain (Jinlong Bridge-Jiuxian County)

If you register online for a group that leaves at 4:30 a.m. to watch the sunrise on Xianggong Mountain, you can be sent back to the hotel after 8 o'clock. There are quite a few people watching the sunrise in the morning, so it would be even better if they could get a front seat.

Yulong River rafting is really a strong push. Many people think that after going to the Li River rafting, they will not go to the Yulong River. The experience of the two is different. Moreover, there are several sections of Yulong River rafting, so Jinlong Bridge-Jiuxian section is recommended. The scenery along the way is very beautiful, and there are many drops. When the bamboo raft floats down, water will splash on the valve, making the experience very high. Artificial bamboo rafts, two people on one valve, really feel like people are floating on the water. The one I reported online was a package pick up and drop off, similar to a small group bar. There were several departures. I chose the one at 9 a.m.. I had energy when I came back after watching the sunrise. This time was just right.

When rafting, the master asked for some tips, which was 50 yuan per fee, but in the end I gave an extra 10 yuan because the master was really hard. Moreover, after we agreed to tip, the master rowed extremely slowly and even asked me to paddle a bamboo raft to explain it to us. When taking pictures, the master also splashed water to increase the photo effect, and would also swipe to a suitable place for taking pictures. Everyone was happy after I gave the tip, and the master worked really hard. I don't think it's a big deal to give tens of yuan. After normal rowing for 1 and a half hours, we rowed for about 1 hour and 40 minutes, because the master was so powerful.

Yulong River rafting advice online reporting group: 1. Basically take the village road on the way, so it is inconvenient to go by yourself. 2 It is said that the ticket price for on-site tickets is 340, but the price for my online registration package is only 147.

Because I bought a bus to the airport at 4 p.m., I didn't arrange an itinerary in the afternoon. It takes 3 hours to calculate back and forth from the Yulong River. After the summer vacation, there are not many people left. It is said that when there are many people, they go in the morning and can only start in the afternoon.

The last words: Guilin is really beautiful, and transportation and everything are very convenient. Come when you think of it, and don't regret it when you come. If you want to buy a bullet train to Yangshuo, Yangshuo Station is in Xingping.
