Stunning Sunset Spots! The Ultimate Guide to Watching Sunsets in Guilin

Hey everyone! 👋 Today, I'm bringing you a visual feast—the ultimate guide to watching breathtaking sunsets in Guilin! If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in the warm glow of the setting sun with your loved one or best friend, then be sure to save this guide! 🌟 📍Stop 1: Li River·Bamboo Raft Drifting For the most authentic Guilin sunset experience, a bamboo raft drift on the Li River is a must! 🚣‍♀️ Choose a clear evening and hop on a raft, drifting leisurely on the shimmering water. As the raft glides along, the verdant hills on both sides resemble dark eyebrows, the river flows gently, and as the sun begins to sink behind the distant mountains, the entire world is bathed in a golden glow. In that moment, time seems to stand still, leaving only you and the boundless beauty.📸 📍Stop 2: Yangshuo West Street·Rooftop Cafe If you prefer a more urban sunset viewing spot, the rooftop cafes on Yangshuo West Street are definitely the perfect choice! 🎉 Find a window seat, order a signature coffee ☕, and as dusk settles in, the entire West Street begins to light up with warm lights, complementing the sunset glow in the distance—a perfect photo opportunity! Remember to bring your camera to capture this unique romantic moment.📷 📍Stop 3: Xianggong Mountain·Panoramic Views For a bird's-eye view of Guilin's sunset, Xianggong Mountain is definitely worth a visit! 🧗‍♀️ Although it requires a bit of a climb, once you reach the top, your eyes will be met with a breathtaking panorama. The Li River winds like a jade ribbon, and the setting sun paints the sky in brilliant orange and red hues. Every second is a stunning spectacle. Remember to set off early, as the best spots on the summit are first-come, first-served!🏞 📍Stop 4: Longji Rice Terraces·Golden Ocean If you prefer a more tranquil and serene experience, the sunset at the Longji Rice Terraces will surely captivate you. 🌾 The cascading terraces shimmer with a golden glow under the setting sun, as if the earth is draped in a magnificent tapestry. Walk along the ridges, listen to the occasional cowbells in the distance, and feel the tranquility and harmony of nature, cleansing your soul like never before.🧘‍♀️ 💡Tips: Remember to check the sunset time for the day and plan your itinerary accordingly. Don't forget sun protection, even in the evening, the Guilin sun can still be quite strong! Bring a bottle of water and some snacks to take care of yourself while enjoying your leisure time. Respect local culture and the environment, and do not litter in scenic areas. Alright, that's all for today's Guilin sunset viewing guide! I hope you can, like me, capture your own sunset memories in these stunning locations. Don't forget to tell me about your experience!💌

#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.
