Two Rivers and Four Lakes

avatar
136***77
It was a very good night tour of the two rivers and four lakes, especially the part where we crossed 13 bridges and the part where the perch caught fish. It was very impressive. I have to come again in the future, preferably in summer.

Elephant Hill Scenic Area

The park is smaller than you might expect, the rock is fun to look at, but there isn't much more. if you continue walking along the river you can find interesting buildings and an ancient town part, which I would recommend.

Solitary Beauty Peak Prince City Scenic Area

看世间繁华不染指
I recommend all the places with explanations. The tour of the entire palace takes nearly 2 hours. Friends who want to visit can refer to it. However, we did not climb the mountain (Duxiu Peak). Those who are interested in climbing the mountain should plan more time.

Longji Terraces

ctn***99
It was a very good trip and experience. It was raining and foggy when we arrived at Longji Rice Terraces. Fortunately, we climbed up the Nine Dragons and Five Tigers and walked to the Seven Stars Moon Viewing Mountain. We saw the rice terraces in the rain and fog, and saw a different Longji Rice Terraces. It was very good. My family was very happy. It was a very worthwhile place.

Li River Scenic Area

Tanhua
Such a beautiful place, with a few amazing off the road very easy hiking spots. The mountains are beautiful, and you can walk to the water and walk along the river for ages. There's also a small ancient city just next to the river. And of course the iconic 20 rmb picture spot!

Li River Cruise

eric_pjlee
In the whole trip to Guilin, only the Li River cruise was worthy of praise. The boat was very clean and each person had a seat according to their number. The scenery on both sides of the Li River was also beautiful. The three-star boat was actually great, and you didn't have to spend more than 100 yuan to buy those unpalatable buffets.
