Guanyang Xinjie Jiangkou Village, with its small bridges and flowing water, exudes the charm of Jiangnan. The confluence of three rivers (Guanyang River, Mashan River, and Anleyuan River) brings prosperity, attracting merchants from ancient times. Nowadays, as you stroll through this fishbone-layout ancient village, you may not see the bustling scenes of the past or hear the sounds of chickens and dogs, but the simplicity, tranquility, and comfort of the water town compel you to capture and record it with your camera, wandering through this beautiful time of peace. 📍Attraction Address: Southwest of Xinjie Town, Guanyang County, Guilin City, Guangxi 🚗Transportation: Take bus No. 1/2/3 from Guanyang Bus Terminal to Xinjie Station (about 14 stops, 25 minutes), then walk about 1.9 kilometers or take a taxi. ✅Tour Sequence: Visitor Center—Small Stone Bridge—Tang Jingsong's Former Residence—Opera Stage—Hanlin Old Street—Longmen Ancient Bridge—Half Street—Zhuangyuan Bridge—Visitor Center 👍Must-Visit Spots Tang Jingsong's Former Residence: The lintel bears the words "Han Yuan," the birthplace of Tang Jingsong, a famous minister of the Qing Dynasty who resisted the French and Japanese. Built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it is the only well-preserved celebrity residence in Guanyang County. Inside, there are historical materials about the Tang brothers, "one family, three jinshi, three brothers in the Hanlin Academy." The steps are quite high, and there is an ancient well (Zhuangyuan Well) beside it. There are many photo spots here. Opera Stage: Next to Tang Jingsong's Former Residence, it was the place where Tang Jingsong (also the founder of Gui Opera) and his family used to watch Gui Opera. Now, Gui Opera is performed here every year on February 7th. Using the entire stage as a background, performing a few opera moves on the stage, it also has a great atmosphere for photos. Hanlin Old Street: Also the street name where Tang Jingsong's Former Residence is located, formerly known as "Jiangkou Ancient Market." An ancient street that started in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and flourished in the Republic of China, about 1 kilometer long. In those days, shops lined the street, goods were abundant, and trade was frequent. Now there is no commerce, but the street is very clean, the bluestone road is winding and charming, and there are few people, making it a great spot for photos. Longmen Ancient Bridge: A single-arch stone bridge built in the Yuan Dynasty, located at the confluence of Guanyang River and Anleyuan River. It is said that during the flood season, the waters of the two rivers surge, and the fish in Anleyuan River leap into Guanyang River, forming the rare sight of "fish leaping over the dragon gate," hence the name. The ancient bridge is not long, but there are many photo spots. It is recommended to include the green trees and reflections by the bridge, as well as the ancient buildings on the opposite side, in the frame for a picturesque scene. Half Street: Opposite Longmen Ancient Bridge, named because only one side of the street has houses. After crossing the bridge, it is recommended to take photos of the old houses and the ancient tree at the corner. Zhuangyuan Bridge: Built in 1890 by Tang Jingsong, the locals named it "Zhuangyuan Bridge." The bridge was destroyed by floods and was rebuilt in 2015 as a single-arch granite stone bridge, over 20 meters long. After crossing Zhuangyuan Bridge, don't forget to take photos of the ancient trees, old houses, and reflections by the river on the opposite side, creating an instant water town atmosphere. 🎟️Ticket Information: Free 💗Other Tips: It is recommended to tour for 1.5-2 hours, strolling and savoring the details.

Guangxi Guilin Guanyang, a small secret place I didn't want to squeeze in the crowds during the National Day holiday, so I came here to play for a few days. I found a small secret place with an ancient ferry, an ancient artillery platform, and the Buyue Cave. It was amazing. This is Guangxi Guilin Guanyang, which is only 2 minutes away from Wenshi Expressway. Navigate to Yueling Ancient Houses, a traditional Chinese ancient village, and a beautiful place to enjoy the autumn. There is also a raft opening ceremony during the National Day holiday. Come to the ancient ferry to take a boat, take a photo casually, as if you have walked into an oil painting. You deserve it.

Address: Guanyang County, Guilin City. It takes about 2 hours to drive from Guilin. 💸 Ticket price: 90 yuan. 🌟 Exploration experience: Among the many Guilin caves, this one left the deepest impression on me. The currently developed tourist route in the cave is 4 kilometers long, but some parts have yet to be developed. According to the tour guide, this cave may be connected to Qianjiadong in Hunan. The scientific expedition team tried to explore its depths for several days but ultimately failed to reach the end. 🚶‍♂️ Hiking and boat ride: The tour route includes a 1.5-kilometer walking section and a 2.5-kilometer boat ride section. The pedestrian area is colorful, with light and shadow interweaving, which is beautiful. The boat ride is even more thrilling. Take a small boat, with the boatman rowing slowly with a bamboo pole. Sometimes you need to lower your head to avoid stalactites, and sometimes everyone works together to push the boat forward in narrow places. It all adds up to an extraordinary adventure experience. 🏞️ Guanyang Scenery: Guanyang not only has this charming cave, but also has beautiful landscapes. It is a good place worth visiting.

Dongjing Village, Guilin, ancient dwellings on the national highway Today, I went from Guilin to Jiangyong and found an ancient village on the way. I had not planned to go into the village, but since it was right next to the national highway and there were parking spaces on the side of the road, I would have felt bad if I didn't stop and take a look, so when I went in, I was pleasantly surprised. Dongjing Village, formerly known as Guiyue Village, is located in Dongjing Yao Ethnic Township, Guanyang County, Guilin City. It was once prosperous because it is located on the Hunan-Guangxi Ancient Road. The houses are arranged along both sides of the ancient road and surrounded by a stream. The ancient village combines the characteristics of Hui-style architecture and Yao ethnic minority houses in northern Guangxi. The ancient dwellings are well preserved and there are few tourists. The ginkgo trees are bright yellow these days, adding a bit of bright color. (2023/11/30) Ginkgo trees are turning yellow. Where to go for a weekend trip?
