| Finally found a quiet place to photograph Elephant Trunk Hill. Baozi, I really struck gold on this trip to Guilin! This time, I stayed at the Guilin Jingxiang Hotel, and the experience was amazing~ I arrived in Guilin at 12pm, and after checking in and entering the room, I found a handwritten map of the city's attractions. This detail really touched my heart! The hotel's location is superb, with the No. 2 gate of Elephant Trunk Hill Scenic Area right outside. But remember to enter from Gate 3 and exit from Gate 2~ When I went, it wasn't even May 1st yet, and there were already a lot of people in the scenic area, so I decisively went back to the hotel first. 🌟Hotel Highlights: 🏞️The large terrace outside the restaurant on the 7th floor is simply the perfect spot to admire Elephant Trunk Hill! Surrounded by green hills and clear waters, you can also feel the atmosphere of everyday life. 📚Jingxiang Pavilion on the 6th floor is a public reading area, with a 180° floor-to-ceiling window facing Elephant Trunk Hill. The windows are super sealed, isolating the noise from the scenic area. It's so pleasant to quietly enjoy the scenery, read leisurely, and have coffee and snacks~ 🛁There is a bathtub in the room. After a day of traveling, a soak will instantly eliminate fatigue, and you can sleep better at night. 🍽️The breakfast buffet in the morning has a wide variety of options. You can start your day off right by eating delicious food while looking at Elephant Trunk Hill. 🎈Nearby Travel Guide: 🌞Afternoon: You can go to Elephant Trunk Hill to experience the wonders of nature, and then visit Jingjiang Prince City to explore the traces of history. 🌇Evening: Move to East-West Alley and Zhengyang Pedestrian Street to experience the charm of the ancient streets and take care of dinner. 🌙Night: After the Sun and Moon Twin Towers light up, the golden and silver night scenes are super beautiful. It's enough to admire them from below, no need to spend money to buy tickets to go up~ Compared to going to Yangshuo to see the mountains and rivers, a city walk in Guilin is also great! The various urban attractions are very close to each other and can be connected by walking. The weather here is changeable. It was sunny in the morning, but it rained in the afternoon. Fortunately, the hotel front desk had umbrellas ready. Remember to bring an umbrella when you travel~ Baozi, you must try this hotel when you come to Guilin. I believe you will fall in love with it too!

During my recent trip to Guilin, I chose to stay at Guilin Jingxiang Hotel (Elephant Trunk Hill Scenic Area, Two Rivers and Four Lakes Branch). My experience was so amazing that I couldn't resist sharing it with everyone. As soon as I arrived, I could feel the hotel's prime location. It's situated in the heart of the city on Binjiang Road, right on the banks of the Li River, and just a stone's throw away from Guilin's iconic Elephant Trunk Hill. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful during check-in, warmly introducing me to the hotel's facilities and nearby attractions. I booked a Li River panoramic view room, and the view was absolutely stunning. As soon as I opened the curtains, the beauty of Elephant Trunk Hill and the Li River filled the room. It truly felt like I had a "window to Elephant Trunk Hill and a door to the Li River." The room's decor was a blend of understated luxury and oriental style, preserving elements of local traditional residences while incorporating a modern touch, creating a charming ambiance. The facilities were also brand new. The Kingkoil mattress from the Sweet Dreams series, combined with 80-count high-density cotton fabrics, made sleeping at night feel like floating on clouds. The mini-bar was stocked with local specialties such as osmanthus cake and monk fruit drinks, showing great attention to detail. Be sure to visit the "Alice Restaurant" on the seventh floor! The 270° unobstructed terrace is like an "aerial viewing platform of the city emblem." Dining here while savoring exquisite Western cuisine and local specialties made with seasonal ingredients selected by the chef, all while enjoying a panoramic view of Elephant Trunk Hill, is simply delightful. I also tried their Elephant Trunk Hill afternoon tea. The desserts were shaped like Elephant Trunk Hill, and the coffee art featured Li River ripples. It was both beautiful and delicious, providing a double treat for the taste buds and the eyes. The hotel's amenities are also comprehensive, including a gym, KTV, and a chess and card room. If you're traveling with children, the family rooms have children's toiletries, cartoon bedding, and elephant-themed toys and picture books that kids will surely love. Moreover, the hotel's service is impeccable, from 24-hour room service to a cup of warm or cool welcome tea, to handwritten notes from the room butler. Every detail makes you feel especially warm and cared for. My stay at Guilin Jingxiang Hotel made my trip to Guilin even more perfect. Whether it's the location, environment, service, or dining, everything was impeccable. If you're planning a trip to Guilin, I highly recommend this hotel!

After so many trips with my kids, This is the first time I've brought them to Guilin, which we learned about in Chinese language textbooks We truly experienced the famous "Guilin's scenery is the best under heaven" - We checked in at Jingxiang Hotel next to Elephant Trunk Hill scenic area Located in the center of the Two Rivers and Four Lakes scenic area The hotel is just across the road from Elephant Trunk Hill Just a three-minute walk to the Sun and Moon Pagodas And a five-minute walk to Zhengyang Food Street It's super convenient when traveling with kids Plus, you can see the famous Elephant Trunk Hill right from your room window Truly experiencing Guilin's poetic and picturesque landscape • Our family of two adults and two children checked in to a family room with two beds The space is very spacious You can lazily relax on the balcony lounge chair, sipping tea and enjoying the view Incredibly comfortable The kids especially loved the child-friendly elements in the room They couldn't put down the cute pillows and little elephant toys • The viewing platform on the seventh-floor terrace is the best spot for photos Every casual shot looks amazing You can also experience the most beautiful angle of Elephant Trunk Hill The breakfast at the restaurant is also great Rich ingredients, especially the rice noodles, which are authentically prepared Even better than what I've bought outside I ate two servings every morning - so delicious! The window seats offer even better views!

Located Opposite Gate 2 of Elephant Trunk Hill Park📍Jingxiang Hotel I hereby declare that the best viewing platform for Elephant Trunk Hill in Guilin is here! Capture the poetic romance of the mountains and the city without squeezing through crowds of tourists. The rooftop terrace directly faces Elephant Trunk Hill, with the outline of the mountain reflected in the Li River. The unobstructed view captures the city emblem in its entirety. Elephant Trunk Hill 🐘 is so close that it seems within reach, and the surrounding scenery is also fully visible. The rooms are also very pleasant 🍃. The floor-to-ceiling windows frame the landscape into a natural painting. "See the green mountains through the window, and embrace the Li River when you look down." The morning mist, the sunset glow, the lights of the night scene… Here, the saying "Guilin's scenery is the best in the world" is embodied. Other tips: You can go out for a walk at night to experience the charm of Guilin at night ✨ (It is a 3–5 min walk from the hotel to the Sun and Moon Twin Towers and Zhengyang Pedestrian Street, and 15 mins to East and West Alley). You can also choose to enjoy the night view at the rooftop bar of the hotel.

The Ai Li Fang Landscape Restaurant of Guilin Jingxiang Hotel won the "2024 China 100 Beautiful Scenery Experience Restaurant" by Ctrip Food Forest and the "2024 Beautiful Scenery Experience Restaurant" by Ctrip Reputation.

Don't know where to stay in Guilin? Today, I recommend a hotel I stayed at, Jingxiang Hotel. The biggest feature of this hotel is the viewing platform on the 7th floor. You can clearly see Elephant Trunk Hill without crowds, sun exposure, or even spending money. A taxi from Guilin North Railway Station to the hotel costs CNY 27.4. Oh, the hotel offers free pick-up service! But you need to book 48 hours in advance. I forgot to call until I left, so I had to pay for a taxi myself. The hotel should ask guests if they need a pick-up service. They are not very proactive. Maybe there are too many tourists in Guilin. I chose the elegant king room, which is 34–40 square meters. It has a 2-meter king bed, welcome fruit on the 4th floor, and a hearty breakfast. This room type doesn't have a direct view of Elephant Trunk Hill, which is blocked by lush trees. It is very close to Xiangshan Scenic Area, Sun and Moon Twin Towers Cultural Park, Li Zongren's Residence, and Dongxi Lane. Overall, it is quite good.

As autumn deepens, I embarked on a terrace journey to the 7th floor of Jingxiang Hotel, the perfect spot to admire the scenic beauty of Elephant Trunk Hill. Standing on the observation deck of the 7th floor of Jingxiang Hotel, the view suddenly opens up. The autumn breeze gently brushes by, bringing a hint of coolness, making the scenery even clearer. Elephant Trunk Hill, the iconic landmark of Guilin, appears even more unique under the autumn backdrop. The contours of the hill soften in the autumn hues, as if nature has delicately outlined it with a brush. The water of the Li River sparkles under the autumn sun, resembling a green ribbon embedded between the mountains. The river reflects the karst peaks on both sides, which stand tall and varied in shape, like a magnificent landscape painting. At this moment, a cruise ship slowly glides through the sparkling water, breaking the tranquility of the surface, yet adding a touch of liveliness and vitality. The tourists on the cruise, perhaps like me, are enchanted by the autumn scenery. The grandeur of the karst landscape is perfectly showcased at this moment. Some peaks stand alone as scenic spots, while others compete in beauty, each one seemingly a miracle bestowed by nature. Looking down, the leaves by the terrace are colorful and vibrant, with green tinged with yellow, and yellow tinged with red, like colors casually splashed on a palette, yet perfectly blended together. This autumn scenery deeply enchants me, making it unforgettable. The terrace on the 7th floor of Jingxiang Hotel not only offers a perfect view of Elephant Trunk Hill but also brings a sense of inner peace and satisfaction on this autumn afternoon.

【Hotel Name】Jingxiang Hotel Address: No. 8 Binjiang Road, Guilin City🏘️ Of course, you can't miss the famous Elephant Trunk Hill when you come to Guilin. I've been thinking about finding a hotel close to the scenic area after landing. I didn't expect to find such a treasure. It's adjacent to Elephant Trunk Hill, just opposite Gate No. 2 of Xiangshan Park. You can see the view of Elephant Trunk Hill as soon as you check in, and the location is also very convenient for getting around. - The hotel's service attitude is really warm and friendly. They offered a welcome gift and afternoon tea, and the facilities are really comprehensive. There's nothing they haven't thought of arranging for you. The overall style of the hotel is simple and luxurious. I was truly surprised when I entered the room. Although I had seen pictures posted by others, I couldn't help but marvel at the natural wonder. You can directly see the face of Elephant Trunk Hill from inside the room (let those who love to queue do so; I'll sit on the bed and watch hhh). The bathroom also shows great attention to detail; the hand towels are even folded into the shape of a little elephant. They've incorporated many local elements. Since the hotel is right next to the Elephant Trunk Hill scenic area, there's also the Jingxiang Pavilion on the 6th floor, specifically for viewing Elephant Trunk Hill. Drinking coffee and admiring the view, I've grown even fonder of this hotel. I really made the right choice. For breakfast, head to the 7th floor to the Airy Terrace Restaurant, where you can enjoy a 270-degree view of Elephant Trunk Hill. - The overall decoration style of the hotel is really suitable for friends who love to take photos. Most importantly, on the hotel's 7th-floor viewing platform, you can have breakfast while overlooking the entire scenic area. It's truly a treat. This is the warmest hotel I've stayed at in Guilin.
