Recommended attractions around Guilin 🏞️ There are too many attractions and too little time, so you must go to the highlights!

Yangshuo has the most beautiful mountains and rivers, the Dragon Ridge Terraces are extremely spectacular, but its land is one south and one north, it takes more than an hour to drive from Guilin, both sides need to be well planned📝 [Hejiang River Cruise] From Guilin to Yangshuo, time to take a cruise, it is recommended to book tickets with a local travel agency, four-star cruise is more luxurious and comfortable, usually travel agency chartered car to Zhujiang Pier or other pier, then take 3 hours boat along the river to Yangshuo, morning departure chartered boat lunch. [Bamboo Raft on the Yulong River] Shui Erdi Pier is easier to get to + shorter time, suitable for a simple experience of bamboo rafting, you can call a car from Yangshuo city, go to the ticket office to buy tickets, then go to the entrance to get a ticket, to the ticket can queue up to board the boat. Each bamboo raft can only carry 2 people, the total weight (including body items) cannot exceed 160kg, if overweight must be separated into another boat, before boarding the boat to have 2 passengers weigh together. There are life jackets on the boat to wear throughout. The boatman will open the sun to block the sun, but if it's too sunny, it's better to bring your own hat. The water bottom route is very flat and not too exciting, but the bamboo raft is always permeable, so expect a little wet feet, and the river occasionally has some downhills, when sliding down to lift your feet, the boatman will remind when. [Dragon's Ridge Terraces] The Dragon Ridge Rice Terraces are divided into several districts. The average tourist usually goes to the Dazhai Rice Terraces in Jin Hang, because it is the only one that can be reached directly by a cable car. In principle, you can hike up the mountain, but hit the guy-level hiking route, unless you are physically able to walk the mountain, especially in summer is not recommended, because even riding the cable car up the mountain is hot to crazy, really will heat stroke. The round-trip ticket for the cable car is RMB 100 per person. Remember to pack your ticket for the return trip after buying it. The cable car goes directly to the Golden Buddha Peak Observation Deck. It may not be the most beautiful observation deck in terms of view angle, but it is definitely the easiest to get to. [Long-hair Village, Wong Lo-Yau Village] Because the Dragon Ridge Rice Terraces mountain road is far away and not easy to get to, it is best to go to Guilin for the first time with a group/group. The tour itinerary will mostly include the Long Hair Village. You can freely purchase tickets for the Long Hair Village performance. Tickets are 80 yuan per person, which turned out to be quite good. It doesn't hurt to add "Come to Come". Even if you don't watch the show, the long hair village itself is quite beautiful, with streams and wooden buildings, just taking pictures is great, and there is a museum where you can enjoy air conditioning. If the travel agency has a package, there is no need to deliberately skip it. 【Guilin Accommodation】 This time I chose Guilin Shangri-La, with a river view room, very beautiful and comfortable, looking at the photos thought the decoration seems a little old-fashioned, actually go to actually quite beautiful, every morning to see the river, early enough if the sky is just light, gradient color looks fantastic (river view room is not east will not see the sunrise) [Ticket Booking Tips] ✅ Many booking tickets require real name registration, even cruise ships, bamboo rafts must, so return home permit / travel documents to follow at all times ✅ The quality of the tour varies, and it can be a hell-level lie. It is recommended to choose a reputable local travel agency to register for the tour 【Traffic Tips】 ✅ Guilin public transportation is not as accessible as other big cities, and the distance between attractions is not short, basically must call car ✅ Use the Hong Kong phone number of the Google Maps app to call the car (use WeChat account to register the Google account), after placing the order, use the payment app to prepay the fare, the basic process is almost the same as taking Uber ✅ After boarding the car, you must tell the driver that the last 4 words of your registered phone number confirmed before you can drive. If you have any questions, you can contact the driver using the message in the Google app ✅ Note that the boarding location is sometimes inaccurate, it is best to confirm the location before ordering, and Guilin city weekend / holiday / peak season night may be serious traffic jams

Longji Rice Terraces

#chinatravel Alright so Long Ji Rice Terrace was straight up magical. I wasn't even planning to hike much but once I saw those endless layers of green just wrapping around the mountains I couldn’t stop walking. It feels like something out of a fantasy movie. Everywhere you look it’s just like wow how is this even real. I went early in the morning and the clouds were still hugging the hills so it looked super dreamy. The villages around there are tiny and cozy and the locals are chill. Some even invite you in for tea or food which was awesome. And shoutout to the grandma who let me try homemade rice wine. That stuff hits. The trails aren’t hard but bring comfy shoes because you’ll definitely wanna wander off and explore random little paths. If you're into nature or just want to see something totally different from city life this place is a must. Pics don't do it justice. Just go.
