    The most beautiful place in China?

    Spent a perfect 4 days in Guilin and Yangshuo viewing the incredible karst mountains, taking things slowly and relaxing in nature and beautiful scenery. There are so scenic spots along the Li and Yulong rivers. We preferred the less crowded spots. Recommend staying in Guilin for 1 night and Yangshuo for 2 or 3. There are electric cars and bikes to rent all over, but we used e-hailing which was very reasonably priced. 📸 Some of the places pictured: Fuli Bridge, Yangshuo; Sun and Moon Towers, Guilin; Elephant Rock, Guilin; Xianggong Mountain (20 yuan viewpoint). 💰Average Price per Person: There was no entry charge for any of these places we visited, apart from Xianggong Mountain (¥60). 💞Reasons to Recommend: perfect place to relax be immersed in nature, easy and cheap to get around, excellent place to take photos. #traveldiaries #100waysoftravel #closetonature #chinatrip #china

    Sisters planning to visit Guilin in May and June, please make sure to check out the strategy I've organized

    1️⃣ The weather in Guilin is now very comfortable! 22℃ during the day, up to 31℃, time to say goodbye to thick clothes! There's a slight temperature difference in the morning and evening, just bring a thin jacket and that's enough🧥. 2️⃣ When taking a bamboo raft on the Yulong River, if you encounter a raft worker with a bad temper, don't be polite😡, directly find the person in charge of the scenic area to switch to a better one! Asking for tips upfront? 🙅No way! 3️⃣ The Li River cruise🛥️ is not in Yangshuo, but in Lingchuan County of Guilin city. The pier is 20 kilometers away from the city center, a 35-minute drive. To cruise the Li River, you need to get to Guilin city first, then head to the pier the next morning. There are only two boats at 9:30 am and 10:00 am, one-way only. 4️⃣ Want to check in at the 20 yuan RMB background? Recommend taking the Li River cruise, the scenery is absolutely beautiful😍, and there are fewer people! Or go to the 'Wangwang Delicious Fish Restaurant' under Xingping Ancient Town, which is the viewing platform, but there might be more people there👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. 5️⃣ Going to Elephant Trunk Hill, don't buy tickets for Zizhou Park, that's to see the back of Elephant Trunk Hill. Elephant Trunk Hill itself is free, just navigate directly there. Note: You can enter and exit through Gate 1, but Gates 2-3 are entry only🚪. 6️⃣ The scenic spots in Guilin are quite scattered, but each has its own characteristics🎨. For example, in Guilin city, there are Elephant Trunk Hill, Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas; in Yangshuo, there's Yulong River, Xianggong Mountain; in Longsheng, there are the Longji Terraces; in Lingchuan, there's the Li River pier; in Lipu, there's Silver Cave. Plan your transportation in advance🗺️. 7️⃣ Guilin has no subway🚇, buses, coaches, and taxis are the main means of transportation. It's not very convenient with large luggage, remember to travel light! 8️⃣ Guilin rice noodles are really delicious! But don't go to Yangshuo to eat them, they are expensive and not authentic. Eat in Guilin city, 5 yuan for two liang, remember to find a shop with a clear price tag🍜. 9️⃣ There are many touts on the streets of Yangshuo, don't easily trust strangers, be careful not to get scammed👀. 1️⃣0️⃣ Don't understand transportation or on a budget in Yangshuo? Rent an electric scooter!🛵 You can go to most scenic areas, the average rental price is 25/day, remember to bargain!💰

    Guilin Rooftop Views!

    Getting there: Fast train or an airplane directly to the airport. Guilin is a picturesque city in Guangxi, China. From many of the hotel rooftops and balconies you can get really stunning views of the karst mountains and architecture. The two pagodas area is really nice to fly a drone. Or you can see the view from the park or the nearby hotel Lijiang Waterfall Hotel. #guilin

    Evening with the twins...

    Located just south of the city centre, this nondescript scenic spot is an oasis in an otherwise busy city. Surrounded by urban development, the lake, trees and bridges offer a nice contrast, especially in the evening, where you may even see bats flying overhead! Walking around the lake, there are various different angles to take photos and videos of the two star-attractions here, the twin pagodas sitting on the edge of the lake. They sit majestically in the water and their reflections tricking you into thinking there's 4! Get here just by walking from the hotel or also by bus or taxi. Parking space is limited, so be aware! There are various places to buy snacks and souvenirs here also. A great place to visit! #2023travelwish #mytripvlog #tripblazers

    Watching the sun fade over pagodas

    Getting There - easy to access by foot or taxi if far away Attractions - Sun and moon pagodas, lake, elephant hill and more Hotels - atour or a fair few others in area Food & Restaurants - Indian restaurant close by Shopping - shopping mall and book store just a stones throw from the lake either day time or night time visiting the sun and moon pagodas is a different experience so I recommend doing both, watch the sun set and then watch them be lit up with lights. watch bats fly around over the lake and take a stroll, definitely not a sight to miss! #2023travelwish #mytripvlog #tripblazers

    Guilin by Night

    Guilin is magical at night. The lights dance on surface of the water in different colors. The smells and noises create an ambience of noisy city life and romantic calm. Take a walk along the river or ride a bike. You can even pay a local to ride you around in a tuk-tuk. There are many food and drink options along the river. Take a cab from your hotel or type in “sun and moon pagoda” into Maps and take a late night stroll. The streets are busy with runners and dog-walkers and ladies doing dance routines to beautiful Chinese music. This is a great place for friends, couples, and families. It is also very easy to do it solo. There are plenty of quaint little boutique hotels along the Li river. #guilin #solotravel #travelchina #guangxi

    Pagodas Moon Sun

    Guilin - These Pagodas are located in the center of Guilin. You need to pay 35¥ to visit them. You can climb them and will find a nice view from the top. There is an underwater tunnel pass between both pagodas. The Sun pagoda, the taller, has an elevator 😃 so you don't need to use the stairs up and down. This is an excellent place for pictures. I went on a weekday at about 5:30 pm, and there were few people. Next to the pagodas and lake, there is a hotel. On the sixth floor, there is a Coffee place or restaurant called Yi Cafe. From there, you have a lovely view of the pagodas on one side and the Elephant Trunk Hill park. The restaurant served western food. It is worth the visit! #guilin

    Sun and Moon Pagoda + Moon Hill 🌙

    The Sun and Moon pagoda and Moon hill can be visited in one day. The twin pagodas were not originally built in this place but in 2001 they were reconstructed in Guilin. This pagodas must be seen during the day and night. it is totally worthy to visit this place as the sun pagoda is the tallest bronce pagoda in the world!. The moon hill is a rare gift from nature, you can literally see a whole just passing below the summit of the mountain (hence the name). This hiking can be done slowly in less than 2 hours. #travellater #sunandmoonpagoda #guilin #china #moonhill

    Guilin ,the side of china you don't expect :)

    I ended up staying in a lovely hostel for a couple of days next to the Guilin railway station and what a surprise ; after seeing Beijing, Shanghai and shenzen this is the place I was looking for: a beautiful city between the mountains, a really calm place and really characteristic with a lot of places to visit and amazing food. I did the Diecai Hill and the views from there were just amazing!also the moon and sun Pagoda are great specially at night!

    Recommended Guilin city tour.

    👍️Recommended because: Guilin is said to have the best scenery in the world. Many tourists only use Guilin as a transfer station, heading straight to the Li River or Yangshuo after getting off the plane. However, Guilin was the capital of Guangxi for a long time. The city has many parks, beautiful scenery, and a long history and culture. It is worth spending 1–2 days visiting. 📅Travel guide: Sun and Moon Twin Towers Cultural Park, Elephant Trunk Hill Park, Jingjiang Princes' City (Solitary Beauty Peak), Seven Star Cave, Diecai Hill, Li Zongren's Residence, Zhengyang Pedestrian Street 🍜Food guide: Guilin's chain restaurants have guaranteed quality, including Chongshan Rice Noodles, Chunji Roast Goose, and Guilin Congee City. 🏨Accommodation guide: We recommend hotels along Zhongshan Road, which have complete dining facilities and convenient transportation. 💗Other tips: Guilin is not a big city, and the attractions are not far from each other. Taxis and buses are very convenient.

    Guilin Two Rivers and Four Lakes Scenic Area - Sun and Moon Twin Towers.

    After climbing Elephant Trunk Hill, I walked along Binjiang Road on the left bank of Taohua River, heading to Solitary Beauty Peak. Binjiang Road stretches from Taohua River to Li River. The sidewalk is very wide and paved with wooden floors. The road is lined with ancient trees and many small vendors selling local specialties, especially osmanthus cakes, which are the most eye-catching. Not far away, I suddenly saw many tourists gathering on the opposite side of the road. I opened the map and found that it was Ronghu Lake. The Two Rivers and Four Lakes in Guilin are must-see attractions. The four lakes include Ronghu Lake, Shanhu Lake, Guihu Lake, and Mulong Lake. These four lakes are connected and linked to the Li River. I came to the opposite side of the road, where Shanhu Lake is located. Zhiyin Wharf is built on the lakeside. Standing on the viewing platform, I could see the Sun and Moon Twin Towers on the opposite bank. The Sun and Moon Twin Towers are the landmark buildings of the Two Rivers and Four Lakes Scenic Area, and they cast beautiful reflections in the water. I walked along the lakeside clockwise to admire the two magnificent pagodas up close. When I arrived at the entrance of the Twin Towers Scenic Area, I found the gate closed for maintenance, which was a pity. The Sun and Moon Twin Towers were rebuilt on the basis of the Tang Dynasty pagodas. The Sun Tower is 41 meters high, with 9 floors, and is decorated with 350 tons of pure copper. The Moon Tower is 35 meters high, with 7 floors, and is a glazed pagoda. Both towers are built in the water and connected by an 18-meter-long corridor underwater. They are also known as the Lover's Tower and the Love Tower. I continued walking along the lakeside of Shanhu Lake and came to the junction of Shanhu Lake and Ronghu Lake. The lake surface became narrow, and Zhongshan Middle Road crossed here. Since I was going to Solitary Beauty Peak, I gave up Ronghu Lake and walked back along Shanhu North Road. When I was about to return to Binjiang Road, I found a Zhengyang Pedestrian Street connected to Dongxi Lane, which was the entrance to Solitary Beauty Peak. The pedestrian street is long, but they are all similar. The most impressive one is a shop selling osmanthus cakes, called "Liyuan". The founder, Wang Chengshi, resigned and returned to his hometown in the second year of the Qing Xianfeng period (1852). As a descendant of the top scholar family, he was determined to let more people taste the desserts of the top scholar family. Now this delicacy has been passed down for more than 170 years.

    Guilin 2-day tour.

    Guilin 2-day tour|||Guilin's scenery is the best in the world, and Yangshuo's scenery is the best in Guilin. Guilin and Yangshuo are karst landscapes, with beautiful mountains, clear waters, and unique caves and rocks. They are known as the "best scenery in the world." The most representative features are the mountains, water, and caves. The karst landscape of southern China, represented by "Guilin's scenery," has been listed as a World Natural Heritage Site by UNESCO. This time, I spent two days in Guilin and was amazed by the wonders of nature. The pace of life in Guilin is very slow, and the cost of living is low. The beauty of nature cleanses the soul, making you feel relaxed and less anxious. I stayed near the Two Rivers and Four Lakes Elephant Trunk Hill Scenic Area. Here is my itinerary: Day 1: In the morning, I went to Reed Flute Cave to see the karst cave. Although I had seen several karst caves before, the scenery this time was still quite amazing. It was a 10-minute taxi ride from the hotel, costing CNY 10. In the evening, I took a cruise on the Two Rivers and Four Lakes, enjoying the Sun and Moon Twin Towers, the scenery along the river, various bridges on the river, Elephant Trunk Hill, and experiencing the principle of the ship passing through the lock. It was a 10-minute taxi ride from the hotel, costing CNY 10. The cruise lasted about 90 minutes and cost CNY 200. Day 2: I took a high-speed train to Yangshuo in the morning. The high-speed train from Guilin to Yangshuo passed through a tunnel and suddenly opened up, revealing many towering and steep hills. The clouds were on the mountains, and the mountains were in the clouds, like a landscape painting. After arriving in Yangshuo, I took a taxi to Xingping Ancient Town, rented an electric bike in the town, and went to the CNY 20 banknote photo spot. I rode along the river, feeling very comfortable, enjoying the breeze and the scenery along the way. Then I took a bamboo raft on the Li River, enjoying the karst landscape and feeling calm and relaxed. That's my 2-day Guilin travel guide. The last picture is Guilin's famous rice noodles, which are smooth and delicious. Overall, Guilin's beautiful scenery lives up to its reputation and is worth a visit.

    Guangxi travel guide.

    Days 5-8 of the Guangxi self-driving travel diary are not a guide. They can only be described as some personal feelings. When traveling as a couple, the pictures are all straight out of the camera. They are sorted by date. Date reference is attached. Days 1-4 are listed above. one article Day 5 (October 1, 2024): Transfer to Guilin City. The temperature dropped suddenly, it was terribly cold After parking and eating, someone suddenly appeared and asked for 10 yuan for parking. I was really shocked, but in the end we didn't pay. When I went to Elephant Trunk Hill, there was no parking space in the scenic area, so I found a nearby parking lot. They were told at the door that they would have to pay a parking fee of 20 yuan. I saw Elephant Trunk Hill, the Sun and Moon Twin Towers, and then went to East and West Alley (personally, there was nothing special about it). , there are also many food stalls in Shenzhen) Day 6 (October 2, 2024): After lunch, we went to the Longji Rice Terraces. We found a route that was not congested and easy to drive. We arrived at the B&B comfortably, but it was a bit cold. We took some photos and then went back to the B&B for dinner. , the prices are indeed a bit high, but understandable Day 7 (October 3, 2024): It’s good to live in the scenic area. You can reach the No. 2 Observation Deck in a few minutes. I went to watch the sunrise in the morning. The Longji Rice Terraces looked particularly beautiful in the sun. After watching the sunrise, we went down the mountain and transferred to Liuzhou. I was worried that parking would be as difficult as Guilin, so I found a shopping mall to park my car (it was free), and then took a taxi to the Five Star Pedestrian Street to eat. There are so many things to do in Liuzhou. I have eaten, I wish I had more stomachs Day 8 (October 4, 2024): Eat and drink, packed a lot of delicious food and went back to Shenzhen. There was a traffic jam, so I took the expressway, the national highway, and then the expressway. After driving for about 10 hours, I returned to Shenzhen and the trip ended. I felt quite tired after going out for so many days in a row. After I came back, I lay down for a few days and didn’t want to go out at all.

Elephant Trunk Hill not only has the Elephant Trunk Hill check-in point, but the peaks inside the scenic area are also worth visiting. There is also a bamboo raft check-in point inside the scenic area (requires a fee). If you have the chance to travel to Guilin, don't miss this beautiful mountain. 🎈🎈Chuanshan Park: The scenery is unique. Due to its geographical location, the mountains are formed by the connection of stones, with soil washed away, forming a mountain made of stones.

    The Sun and Moon Pagodas in Guilin's Fir Lake are recommended for check-ins day and night

    Fir Lake, located in the center of Guilin city in Guangxi, is named for the fir trees growing by the lake. It is an open pedestrian leisure park in the city of Guilin. Fir Lake is part of the Two Rivers and Four Lakes scenic area in Guilin, and the most famous are the Sun and Moon Pagodas towering on Fir Lake Island. The Sun and Moon Pagodas are situated in the beautiful Fir Lake in Guilin city; the Sun Pagoda is a copper pagoda located in the center of the lake, 41 meters high with 9 levels, and the Moon Pagoda is a glazed pagoda, 35 meters high with 7 levels. The Sun and Moon Pagodas are famous in China, serving as cultural landmarks of Guilin city, and are the most renowned tourist attractions in the Two Rivers and Four Lakes water system around the city; among them, the Sun Pagoda has won three world records. The Sun and Moon Pagodas are located on an island connected by a bridge, with an admission fee of 35 yuan per person, allowing visitors to climb the pagodas and enjoy the landscape of Guilin. You can also walk through the underwater tunnel and admire the silver carp, common carp, and spotted fish above and on both sides. During the day, the Sun and Moon Pagodas are unremarkable, but at night, they are brilliantly lit. Therefore, Fir Lake is the most popular park in Guilin at night. *The lighting of the Sun and Moon Pagodas lasts until 23:00, and the best photography spot is from the Zhiyin Stage Pier by the lake to the Waterfall Hotel area. It is generally believed that the angle where the Sun and Moon Pagodas lean together best captures the charm of the pagodas. *On a full moon night, you can also move to the viewing platform opposite the Waterfall Hotel across the lake to enjoy the scene of the Sun and Moon Pagodas and the full moon in the same frame. *The Fir Lake and Banyan Lake water system are connected by a bridge hole, and when a cruise ship passes through, it creates surging waves, making it another great photography spot. Compared to the night, Fir Lake is relatively leisurely during the day, with green trees by the lake providing shade, and it is also a nice place to walk around. The main entrance to Fir Lake (south bank) has the former residence of Li Zongren, where you can learn about the life of the leader of the Guangxi army. The former residence of Li Zongren cannot be reached from the lake; you must enter through the main gate on the side of the main road, with no admission fee or reservation required. The former residence of Li Zongren is one of the two best-preserved celebrity former residences in Guilin city, later known as Guilin's 'Presidential Palace,' featuring a combination of Chinese and Western villa-style architecture. Tips: 1. Fir Lake is not large; it takes about 30 minutes to walk around. 2. Fir Lake is very close to Elephant Trunk Hill Park; coming out of Gate 2 of Elephant Trunk Hill and walking 200 meters across the road will take you to the lakeside of Fir Lake, so you can combine day and night tours together.

    Just returned from a trip to Guilin. It's perfect for taking kids to escape the summer heat.

    For children, their impression of Guilin might still be limited to the descriptions in their textbooks. However, Guilin, which is considered the epitome of China's picturesque landscapes, cannot be fully appreciated through mere words in a textbook. One must visit in person to gain a profound understanding. . Day 1: Guilin - Check-in at the hotel Arrived in Guilin, checked into the hotel. Since we arrived early, we visited the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas. Everyone says they look better at night, but we went during the day and took a boat ride, which was also beautiful! Had authentic beer fish for dinner by the Li River. · Day 2: Karst Cave Exploration - Valley Stream Trekking You can take the kids to try cave exploration, which is quite challenging. The typical karst landscape with various shapes of stalactites is quite fascinating. In the afternoon, we ventured deep into the forest valley, led by professional outdoor coaches for stream trekking and rock climbing. It was both fun and challenging. In the evening, we visited the 20 Yuan scenic spot on the Li River. · Day 3: Yulong River - Ten-Mile Gallery - Longji Rice Terraces After breakfast, we took a bamboo raft tour on the Yulong River, enjoying the poetic countryside cottages. Then we rode vintage motorcycles through the Ten-Mile Gallery. After lunch, we headed to the Longji Rice Terraces for an immersive experience of the Zhuang ethnic lifestyle, dressed in beautiful traditional costumes for photos. In the afternoon, we relaxed and had afternoon tea in a stilted house garden. So comfortable! Dinner was a true northern Zhuang-style meal around a fire pit, and it tasted pretty good. · Day 4: Longji Rice Terraces - Mountain Experience After breakfast, we took a cable car to the No. 3 viewing platform - Jinfo Peak, overlooking the Longji Rice Terraces from above. It's amazing how ordinary rice fields on the slopes can be so breathtaking and full of artistic conception! In the afternoon, we experienced rural life in the mountains, catching chickens and collecting eggs in the bamboo forest. The kids had a blast running around. In the evening, we made bamboo tube rice and pounded glutinous rice cakes. · Day 5: Guilin - Elephant Trunk Hill After breakfast, we returned to Guilin. At the Osmanthus Culture Museum, we learned to make osmanthus cakes, which we could take home. Then we visited Elephant Trunk Hill, which is considered the emblem of Guilin City. You can't visit Guilin without checking it out. It's free, not very large, and you can tour it quickly. They even have creative ice creams now. Return from Guilin. . Notes: The people soliciting passengers near the airport and train stations are all illegal taxis. Don't take them. There are airport buses at the airport, bus stops at the station entrances, and you can also book rides online or have a tour group pick you up. Guilin mainly offers mountain and water activities, so it's recommended to wear comfortable flat shoes or sneakers. Don't trust the free photo services at various scenic spots. You'll find out everything costs money after the photos are taken, and the pictures are unedited. . Must-try foods: Guilin rice noodles, snail duck feet, steamed pork with lotus leaves, beer fish, osmanthus cake, Lipu taro pork, Quanzhou vinegar blood duck

    The Guilin night market is just a microcosm of other city night markets

    I had originally planned to go take pictures of the sunset glow at Elephant Trunk Hill🌇 Unexpectedly, it was closed at night So I ended up going to the Twin Towers Park instead From 6 to 7 o'clock The riverside was full of photography enthusiasts setting up their cameras📷 waiting for the sunset The park does not require an admission ticket🎫 The towers are accessible Climbing the Twin Towers costs 35💰 per ticket The Moon Tower does not have an elevator The Sun Tower has an elevator that goes directly to the 6th floor It was renovated in the year 2000 Climbing up to enjoy the view is quite nice!! I recommend coming around sunset, the afterglow is beautiful, and the night view is also stunning👍 Later, I also strolled through Guilin's night market🌠 It felt quite similar to others, really quite ordinary~ But this city still has its own charm For example, it still has newsstands I haven't seen one in Wuhan for many years now🥹

    Guilin's Sun and Moon Twin Towers 😍☀️🇨🇳

    #chinatrip So the sun and moon shine together like this!! The aesthetic appreciation of our ancestors surpassed that of Guilin's Sun and Moon Twin Towers, which are known as the world's number one copper towers. This is one of the most beautiful night view viewing spots for Guilin tourism. The Zhongri Pagoda on the ground has created three world wonders: the world's tallest copper pagoda, the world's tallest underwater elevator tower, and the world's largest copper building. The Sun and Moon Twin Towers are the most famous tourist attraction in the relationship between the two rivers and four lakes surrounding the city. In order to face the Song Dynasty carved Sun and Moon God, Bodhisattva Wei Chi, across the river in the Guihai Stone Stele Forest, and because the Twin Towers stand tall and point directly towards the sun and moon, they are called the Tower and Moon Tower. Both towers are tower style pagodas with beautiful scenery. The Sun and Moon shine together, and the Sun and Moon Twin Towers # are located in the central area of Guilin. Durin

    Wonderful time at Sun and Moon Pagodas 🌟

    Our experience at the Sun and Moon Pagodas in Guilin was nothing short of magical. The Sun Pagoda, adorned with golden hues, radiated warmth and vitality, while the Moon Pagoda, with its silver sheen, exuded a sense of tranquility and serenity. Stepping onto the bridge that led to the pagodas, we were immediately struck by the reflections dancing on the surface of the water. It was as if we had stepped into a painting, where reality and imagination intertwined seamlessly. Each tier of the pagodas was adorned with delicate carvings and ornate decorations, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient artisans. We couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence for the rich cultural heritage embodied in these structures. Inside the pagodas, we found ourselves immersed in a world of history and legend. The Sun Pagoda housed a fascinating exhibition that chronicled the history of Guilin and its significance in Chinese culture. #Travel #China #Guilin 🌟✨
