Due to the heavy fog, it was almost impossible to see anything.
The scenic area was very clean. The routes were well-organized, and there was no need to backtrack.
The only downside was the large number of groups. One person was in line at the front, and 20 people behind them said they were from the same group and wanted to cut in. The staff didn't stop them, which was unfair to the other tourists who had queued diligently.
The scenery is still very good, but it is basically all about looking at the scenery. The fun of climbing is a little lacking. It is a bit too modern. The whole process is like walking on flat ground. It is not memorable at all. The scenery is absolutely first-class

Wulingyuan is a true masterpiece of nature! Over 3,000 quartz sandstone peaks, each in a unique form, resemble a magnified bonsai or a miniature fairyland. It is also a World Heritage Site and a UNESCO World Geopark. With comprehensive facilities and attentive service, you can immerse yourself in the charm of these magnificent peaks and beautiful waters. This truly is a must-visit paradise on earth.
The ride wasn't long, not the 5km one way trip they say. The train ride was nice, with beautiful views along the Ten Mile Gallery, and there were commentaries on board. However, it would have been better to take the one way trip and then walk back.

Hongyunjinding is worth a visit, it is very refreshing, the scenery should be very good when the sun is shining, so the weather is very important. As for Fanjing Mountain itself, the scenery is very beautiful and worth a visit
You can scan the QR code to buy tickets, which is quite convenient. The cable car ride is quite long. It was raining that day and the fog was too thick to see clearly. I couldn't even see the Red Cloud Golden Summit. Climbing the mountain is very tiring.

Visiting Qianhu Miao Village on a rainy day is a unique experience. It's worthy of being the largest Miao village in China, with mist shrouding the mountains, like a fairyland. There aren't many people in the off-season, and the shuttle bus ride is very smooth. The rain only made the trip a little inconvenient, but it didn't dampen the interest of the visit.
The Miao village is large, with sightseeing bus stops included in your ticket. Numerous restaurants serve authentic local specialties. The most enjoyable part is strolling through the village, where the winding staircases reveal the stilt houses of the Miao people. As night falls, watching the lights gradually light up, it feels like entering a fairytale world.

The surprise of this trip started with staying at this hotel! 🫶This stay was an absolute blast! From getting off the bus to checking out, the front desk lady was incredibly attentive. Check-in took just a minute, and she even helped carry our luggage to our room. The room was incredibly clean, and the bedding felt soft, like sinking into a cloud. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, so the hot water came quickly and the pressure was consistent, so I didn't experience fluctuating temperatures while showering. The dining area was also very comfortable, with good lighting and spacious tables and chairs, so it didn't feel crowded. The staff promptly cleared away empty plates, and the tables were always clean. The service was also very friendly, even proactively asking if we needed coffee. ☕
The scenery was breathtaking, and our room had a direct view of Fubo Mountain and the Li River. My friend even asked if I was staying inside the park. It was so refreshing. Free fruit, lemonade, and snacks were available all day on the first floor. Such thoughtful attention to detail. I would recommend this hotel to my friends and would definitely stay here with my kids next time. I'd definitely choose this place. I hope it continues to do better. It would be perfect if the rooftop outdoor swimming pool was bigger, hahahaha, thank you for giving me a wonderful first day of traveling in Guilin☺️
This trip was a joyful and enjoyable one. Every scenic spot from Guilin to Yangshuo was breathtakingly beautiful, with mountains and rivers interspersed with lush greenery. It was truly stunning. Our driver, Master Min, was incredibly calm and skilled, courteous, and courteous. He provided detailed explanations along the way and provided excellent service. Thank you so much, Master Min, for your hard work! I'd also like to thank all the customer service and supervisors at Ctrip for their hard work. Thank you so much! 😎

This Guilin landmark is perfect for photo opportunities. Feel free to take your own photos. If you require paid photography within the scenic area, be sure to inquire in advance about the price and whether the original digital film is included. Also, inquire about the fees for bamboo rafts, cormorants, and clothing. There are also bamboo raft cruises, but the experience is average. If you're planning to go on the Yulong River raft, you can skip this option entirely.
When I went to Guilin, I did some research and found that the attractions in the city are relatively concentrated, so I booked a hotel near Vientiane City. It's quite close to the Elephant Trunk Hill scenic area, where you can visit Elephant Trunk Hill, the Sun and Moon Pagodas, East and West Alleys, Jingjiang Palace, and more. Elephant Trunk Hill Park is free, but reservations are required. Since it was summer vacation, there were a lot of people, but I was still pleasantly surprised to see the Elephant Trunk Hill I'd seen in textbooks. It felt like I was there. You can hire a photographer to take photos with you; the price is quite reasonable at 30 yuan. Of course, a photo opportunity is a must when visiting Guilin.

Tour guide No. 3 was very enthusiastic. Although the explanation was similar, his personal style was better. There was some shopping and sales during the whole process, but not much. It was well integrated with the scene. Overall, it was worth it! (Want a cooler day!)
The first attraction in Guilin during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the ticket price is 100 yuan with the guided tour. The guide is also very serious. In addition to the guided tour, there are many interactive experience parts, which makes you spend your money happily. This is a very different experience. I wrote the word "Fu", experienced the exam, and saw the origin of the saying "Guilin landscape is the best under heaven". I really recommend it.

The Longji Rice Terraces are beautiful, and the villages offer a wide range of accommodation and dining options, though prices are incredibly high, with a cup of coffee costing between 25 and 35 yuan. The mountain roads leading to the various viewing platforms are quite demanding, and the parking lot is a bit messy, expensive, and the service is mediocre, costing just over 40 yuan a day.
The 80-yuan ticket offers unlimited access to the core terraced fields, including Jinkeng and Ping'an, and is valid for three days. Students and seniors receive discounts, and online ticket purchases allow entry by scanning a QR code. However, be aware of secondary purchases within the scenic area, such as cable cars and sightseeing buses.

It was okay. I thought we'd be picked up at the hotel, but we were told to walk to a nearby meeting point. We ended up walking there, which was a bit disappointing. Then, the tour guide was selling local specialties along the way, and I couldn't resist buying any. He also wanted us to upgrade our cabin for a little extra money per person, but the scenery was pretty much the same. Once we left the port, we could go up to the second-floor deck to enjoy the view without any restrictions. Personally, I felt the upgrade wasn't worth much. We arrived at Yangshuo Longtoushan Port around 1:30 p.m. We had to eat lunch on the boat, so it would be best if we could bring our own. The boxed lunch on board was 30 yuan, and the snacks were outrageously expensive.
I'm from Guilin and was meeting up with old friends to take them on a Li River cruise. I originally wanted to buy tickets on the official website, but they didn't distinguish between upper and lower cabins, requiring separate tickets for transportation to the pier. After careful consideration and comparison, I chose Ctrip. After comparing the service details, I chose boat number 4 (the boat numbers represent different agencies; after booking, I learned that number 4 was for the Youth Travel Agency). I chose boat number 4 because it offers a free refund the day before departure and doesn't require me to pick up the tickets myself. The experience was excellent. Our guide, Xiao Pan, was friendly and attentive at the pier. The bus picked us up right outside the hotel, and the local specialty sales along the way were pleasant. My friend was delighted to find gifts for her family. After arriving at the pier, Xiao Pan helped me pick up the tickets, saving me the trouble of heading straight to the pier. The three-star boat was quite comfortable. As for the Li River scenery, it's undeniable—definitely worth a visit!

A cruise on the Li River in Guilin is worth a visit. Enjoy the scenery along the Li River from a cruise ship. The gentle breeze between the mountains and rivers, the bright sunshine, the fleet of cruise ships, and the bamboo rafts under the sun umbrellas form a beautiful and moving picture on the Li River... Guilin's landscape is the best in the world.
excellent cruise. they have snacks whose quality could be improved.
