1. The overall scenery is invincible, there is nothing to pick. The main thing is not to go there in summer. You need to go to the top of the cruise ship to see all the good-looking scenery, and you will be sunburned in minutes, haha; 2. If financial conditions permit, it is strongly recommended to choose a four-star cruise ship. There are fewer people and the facilities are a level higher than those of the three-star cruise ship. The most important thing is that no one will compete with you for the position to take pictures of the scenery. When you are taking pictures on the top platform of the three-star cruise ship, there are only a few people on the top of the passing four-star cruise ship, which is very comfortable!
I highly recommend this three-star cruise. The overall service was excellent. Our reservation was rescheduled, and Ctrip quickly contacted us to arrange a hotel pickup. Our tour guide, Li, explained the local specialties of Yangshuo and Guilin, giving us a deeper understanding of the city. The scenery on the cruise was breathtaking, even from the cabin, even in the rain.

This one performance offset all the previous complaints about the heat, the crowds, and the difficulty in getting a taxi. The performance was great and well worth the ticket price. There are many more performances in the park where you can take photos and check in.
The overall performance was very creative, the singing and dancing were very professional, and the stage design was very novel and impressive. I also learned a lot about Guilin through this performance. There are many other small performances in the scenic area, which are very interactive.

Even though the cable car goes up and down, it's still a bit tiring to walk all the way around. There are quite a few stairs to go up and down. Inside the scenic area, a bottle of Scream costs 10 yuan. An old popsicle costs 5 yuan. It's still a bit pricey.
The scenic area is well designed, and you can walk around it without having to go back. You can take the cable car, walk on the suspension bridge, and there is also a glass plank road. After the top is closed, you can enjoy the karst landform scenery. It is not very physically demanding and a very friendly itinerary.

It was a great experience. I wanted to ride it again. It took about 50 minutes. There were staff explaining the scenery along the way. It was very comfortable. The waves on the river were very big and there were many cruise ships. I got my feet wet from time to time. It was very exciting. The bamboo raft was also very fast!
来阳朔不坐漓江竹筏，就像去北京没登长城，总归是种遗憾。这次阳朔之行，我终于如愿以偿。 我选的是兴坪段，从朝板山码头出发。刚到码头，看到那一艘艘整齐排列的竹筏，心情瞬间雀跃起来。 竹筏缓缓前行，漓江两岸的景色如同一幅徐徐展开的山水画卷。山峰形态各异，有的像骆驼静卧，有的似仙女下凡。行至黄布倒影处，澄澈江水倒映着两岸青山，山水一色，简直美到失语，20元人民币背景图实景比照片震撼太多！九马画山也充满趣味，我和同筏伙伴开启找马大赛，一边听船夫绘声绘色讲解，一边在那怪石嶙峋中辨认，乐趣十足。 竹筏师傅经验老到，驾驶平稳，还会找准时机停下，方便我们拍照。一路微风拂面，江水清澈，偶尔能看到小鱼穿梭。唯一不足就是票价小贵，140元一人，包含15元门票和125元竹筏漂流费用，不过能沉浸式感受“人在画中游”的美妙意境，也算值回票价。

It's much better than the Elephant Trunk Hill Scenic Area. The view is very wide. The distant view of the prairie and the mountains is very photogenic. Stop and take pictures along the way. When the weather is good, the photos are very clear. It's comfortable to walk in the rain. If you like to stop and go and explore freely, don't learn to drive. If you have good physical strength, you can take the scenic shuttle bus or rent a car yourself. It's very hot, drink more water. Drink ice water
Generally speaking, it is quite fun. People from both inside and outside the scenic area will feel a little uncomfortable when visiting in July and August. The weather is humid and hot. The scenery is still very beautiful, with green grass and large areas of grass like carpets. It is very picturesque, but there will be more mosquitoes.

Diecai Mountain, a beautiful mountain peak in Guilin, Guangxi, China, is famous for its colorful rock formations. Tourists can enjoy the charming natural scenery and feel the magic of nature.
Arriving here near noon, it felt a bit quiet and mysterious. As we climbed to the top, we could see the scenery of the Li River. The mountains in the distance were spectacular, and it was a place worth visiting.

You will take a bus to go up Maoer Mountain. People who are prone to motion sickness should not sit in the last row, otherwise they will vomit easily. The scenery along the way is quite good. Our five-year-old child can also climb up. It takes about forty minutes to climb the mountain. There are three people in our family who climb, 40, 70 and 5 years old. As a Guilin native, I have never been to Maoer Mountain because many people say it is dangerous. In fact, it is not dangerous at all. I went there at the end of July. The top of the mountain was not cold at all. There was no need to wear long sleeves. The mountain is actually shaded by trees. Only the top of the mountain needs sun protection. The rest of the mountain is quite cool.
The water was very clear. The section where we went rafting around 3 or 4 in the afternoon was shaded, so the water was cool and comfortable. After the rafting, we could go up to the glass bridge to paddleboard, also out of the sun. Wear protective gear and follow the instructor's instructions. Safety officers were present throughout the section, making it a very pleasant experience. This is a great place to bring children, as the rafting speed is very slow and they have a lot of fun.

It's worth going, fun and exciting, but not dangerous. No one fell into the water and got hurt, and I didn't see anyone else fall into the water. The whole process took about an hour. Remember to buy a scoop for each person to use for paddling, otherwise you can only use your hands. You have to pay to store your bag, the small one is 20, the medium one is 40, and the large one is 60 or 80, I don't remember. You have to scan the code to pay for the hair dryer before you can use it. The bath water is quite hot, and the ginger tea is delicious.
I think this is the most fun and exciting rafting in China. The distance is long, the time is long, the slope is steep, and the water is a bit cold. However, there are ginger tea and hot showers after getting off the boat, which made me feel better immediately. I have played it twice. It is not bad. I suggest that you play more sessions. It is best to go on the last night in Yangshuo when you stay in Xingping Ancient Town. This way, it is close to Yangshuo Railway Station.

There weren't many people, and the entrance time was fast. The dolphin show was wonderful, the mermaid show was also good, and the combined ticket was very convenient. After watching the underwater world, I went directly to Happy World. Surprisingly, there was no need to queue for the Ferris wheel here. Unfortunately, it was a traffic jam when I didn't drive on
It is worth recommending that the Water World is generally better to go in after 4 or 5 o'clock. The sun is too strong during the day, so I didn't go to the Sea World and Tribe World, but the Water World is more popular with children. The ticket price is not expensive, and there are many fun things inside.

Qixingyan Park is quite large. There is a natural karst cave inside, which is amazing. The camel red clouds are very spectacular. The goldfish in the pond swim around leisurely. There are also many monkeys in the scenic area, which are very interesting. You can interact with them. It is not far from the city.
Seven Star Park is located in the downtown area of Guilin, on the east bank of the Li River, with the Xiaodong River running through it. The park covers an area of about 600 acres and is named after the seven peaks in the park, which look like the Big Dipper falling to the ground. It is the largest comprehensive park in the downtown area of Guilin, with the most tourists and the longest history.
