Although it rained in the morning, I was still in high spirits. I was shocked by the magnificence of Tianmen Mountain. The super long aerial cableway, the amazing Tianmen Cave, and the peaks shrouded in clouds and mist, it was really a beautiful place!
Tianmen Mountain has beautiful scenery. The cableway up the mountain is 7480 meters high. The scenery is great. The mountain is 1518.6 meters high. I dare not walk on the glass bridge. The Tianmen Cave is shocking. The rest is basically a good experience. I also saw the living fossil of the plant, the Davidia involucrata, also known as the pigeon flower.

The room is very close to the east gate of Fanjing Mountain, and it takes more than 100 meters to reach the scenic area. It is newly renovated, the room is very clean and spacious, and there is a restaurant on the first floor. The boss and employees are very enthusiastic and patiently explain the tour items. When I ate for the first time, they also gave me a big cup of sweet rice wine. Every time I ate, the boss took the initiative to send dumplings. The price of the restaurant is very affordable, and the meat is large. I will continue to eat and stay here next time.
The scenery is super beautiful, especially the top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, which is better than a fairyland on earth. Unfortunately, there are too many people in the summer, the queue is too long, and there is a lot of rain, so it is difficult to see the full view of Hongyun Jinding.

The scenery of Xiaoqikong in Libo is so beautiful. The different waterfalls and water rocks along the way are amazing and surprising. Among the several 5A scenic spots in Guizhou, I think this is the most worthwhile one to visit.
There are many people in the scenic area, but the shuttle bus is very sufficient! The waiting time is very short, and the glass boat is really worth it! We didn't buy VIP, but after walking down, I felt that VIP is necessary when I can't walk! Warm reminder! ! ! ! ! Each drop-off and pick-up point for the zero-point tour is generally 500 meters away, so be prepared

You will regret not going there, and you will regret it even more if you go there.
You need to walk along a long stone road to get to the ticket gate, then go down a long staircase and take a bus to a place and then transfer to a small battery car.
The scenery is OK, only suitable for taking pictures, but it is very commercialized.
What Lan Zhanfei said is still applicable.
Qianhu Miao Village is not far from Kaili South Station, and the bus takes only 50 minutes to get there. The tour guide on the bus gave us some tips and patiently answered all kinds of questions. The sightseeing bus is a must-take means of transportation when going up and down the mountain, and it is very convenient to connect various attractions.

A night tour of Guilin's two rivers and four lakes is definitely a highlight of city tourism! Take a boat to travel between the lakes and mountains, with the lush peaks on both sides reflected in the water, and the exquisite bridges and bright lights interweaving like a dream. The lock lifting is novel and interesting, and the night view of the twin towers is gorgeous and eye-catching. In one trip, you can appreciate the poetry and essence of Guilin's mountains and rivers, just like walking through a flowing ink painting, which is beautiful and highly recommended!
Guilin Two Rivers and Four Lakes Scenic Area is a landmark attraction in the center of Guilin. It consists of the Li River, Taohua River, Rong Lake, Shan Lake, Gui Lake and Mulong Lake. It is known as the "Venice of China". It combines natural landscapes with cultural landscapes. It is an excellent place to experience the artistic conception of Guilin "thousands of mountains surround the wild, and one water embraces the city".
Highlights
1. Best for night tours: The lights are bright at night, and the Sun and Moon Towers (Golden Tower and Silver Tower) are reflected on the lake, like a fairyland. The cruise ship passes through 19 bridges of different styles, such as the Glass Bridge and the Ancient Banyan Bridge, which are very visually impactful.
2. Water performances: Folk performances such as osprey fishing and ethnic songs and dances add fun. Some cruise ships are equipped with tour guides to explain the historical background in depth.
3. Lock experience: Due to the water level difference, the cruise ship needs to pass through the ship lift or lock, which is similar to the "Mini Three Gorges", novel and interesting.
4. Walking tour: The free lakeside trail is suitable for slow walking. The glass bridge of Rong Lake and the Sun and Moon Twin Towers of Shan Lake are recommended, especially for photography enthusiasts.

The Elephant Trunk Hill is really worthy of its reputation! The shape of the elephant drinking water is amazing, and the texture of the rock is super textured when you look at it up close. The Li River surrounds the mountain, and when you take a bamboo raft past the Elephant Trunk Cave, the mountains and water complement each other like a poem and a painting. The view from the top of the mountain is wide, and you can overlook the scenery of the whole city. It is worth a visit to take photos~
Check in at Elephant Trunk Hill. It is very convenient to make an appointment on Ctrip. The scenic area is crowded, but orderly and not crowded. Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and it is indeed well-deserved. I like the atmosphere here that makes people linger, and I like the scenery here that makes people intoxicated.

You have to enter the Duxiuwangcheng scenic area from the main gate. The ticket includes a tour guide. If you accidentally enter from the back door, you have to wait for the free shuttle bus to take you back to the main gate! The tour guide will take you to explain the various histories of Duxiuwangcheng and Guilin bit by bit. It is very informative. The famous saying "Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world" is engraved on Duxiu Peak. There is also an immersive experience, which is very good. Smart fare! It's a pity that the waiting time for the shuttle bus is a bit long. When the trip is over, the coffee shop will be closed, so you can only take it away!
The attraction is equipped with a tour guide to fully understand every wonderful point of the scenic spot, and know the origin of "Guilin landscape is the best in the world". If the tickets are cheaper, it is more worth playing!

Longji Terraces is very large. If you want to have a deep tour, it will take at least three days. We only visited two viewing platforms in Jinkeng Village in the morning. If you want to have a deep tour of each village, you need one day. Therefore, it is recommended that the scenic spot issue a ticket for a separate village, which is more suitable for tourists like us who are anxious. We can have a quick tour in one day, otherwise we have to pay for three days of tickets and only play for one day. On the way down the mountain, we also saw people eating in the water, and the dining chairs were in the river. It felt very novel. There are also Longji River rafting and other projects here, but we haven't played them yet.
This place is very primitive. You can see long-haired grandmas selling handicrafts, chickens crowing and dogs barking in the village in the morning, and various dragonflies and swallows flying, feeling the breath of nature.
Almost every family in the village runs a homestay with terraced fields. The tourist season is short, only half a year, and it is understandable that they have limited income, so the private parking lot in the scenic area charges ten yuan. Grandma is very enthusiastic to recommend products to attract business. I personally think it is understandable. Traveling means spending money. The two of us spent one thousand a day, including food and play, which is not a rip-off. Anyway, the locals I met were very friendly and enthusiastic, and there was no forced buying or selling.
The terraced fields in July are green. I want to have a chance to come again in May to see the mirror terraced fields, which must be more beautiful! There are too many beautiful landscapes in Guilin, and I can't visit them all. This time, I also felt the ancient wisdom of the villagers in Longji Town. The layers of terraced fields are in order, and the water flows slowly from top to bottom. The environment here is very well protected! There is no garbage everywhere, and the scenery is pleasant. I will definitely come again for an in-depth tour when I have the chance!
The scenery of the scenic area is very beautiful. The fog in the mountains after the rain is fairy-like. I also saw two rainbows. However, the car cannot drive to the hotel, which is quite troublesome. Parking costs money, and the shuttle bus also costs money

Qingyan Ancient Town is worthy of the title of 5A-level scenic spot. From the perspective of historical and cultural accumulation, service level and emotional value provided, it is excellent. It is worth the trip! There are storytelling, rubbing and close-up magic performances in the Sichuan Guild Hall at 4 pm. The children have archery games for martial arts champions. If there are weightlifting and pitching pots, it will really be the content of the martial arts imperial examination. It is very interesting, highly participatory and cheap. The children like it very much.
1. Qingyan Braised Pork Feet
The marinade for making pork feet is made from more than ten kinds of precious Chinese medicines, which are simmered over a slow fire. After it is made, add the local specialty Shuanghua vinegar, and a portion of the original Qingyan pork feet can be put into the mouth. After eating, you will feel that the pig's feet are extremely fragrant and glutinous, fat but not greasy. Qingyan braised pork feet has a long history. According to research, it has a history of more than 100 years and is also known as the champion's feet.
2. Huang's Rose Candy
Qingyan Huang's Rose Candy originated in Jiangxi and was introduced to Qingyan during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. It is a heritage of the Huang family's ancestral craftsmanship. Now the tenth-generation inheritor of the Huang family, Huang Linsheng, has improved the formula. High-quality raw materials such as malt, glutinous rice, and roses are carefully simmered with spring water through thirteen processes. It tastes sweet and has the softness of malt and the fragrance of rose honey. It is the best choice for tourist specialties.
3. Rosa roxburghii glutinous rice wine
Rosa roxburghii is a food that many people like to eat very much, but its use is not limited to eating directly, it can also be used to make wine. The folks in Qingyan Ancient Town all know that the wine brewed with roxburgh is very mellow, with a very unique taste and mouthfeel; it is precisely because of this that the roxburgh glutinous rice wine brewed with roxburgh is called a specialty of Qingyan Ancient Town, and people come to taste it every year. Roxburgh glutinous rice wine not only tastes good, but is also very good for health. It is rich in a variety of hydrogen acids, vitamins and active substances that are beneficial to human health, and has the effects of preventing cancer, anti-cancer and plague, lowering cholesterol, and preventing and treating coronary heart disease.
Fourth, Qingyan Chicken Chili Corner
Since the taste of freshly made and fried chicken chili is not as good as cold food, it has now developed into making chicken chili into a convenient food, mass-produced, and customers can take it whenever they want. It is convenient and fast, and the taste is better than freshly cooked chicken chili.
In addition to the above delicacies, Qingyan also has many other distinctive delicious snacks, such as the ancient town Yangjia salted vegetables, ice bayberry, wooden hammer pastry, Guizhou Niu Mowang, as well as Lao Tusi stuffed cake, Miwangshan orchid cake, Qingyan tofu, tofu fruit, tofu balls, etc., too numerous to mention.
V. Lao Tusi stuffed cake
It is a traditional snack of the Han nationality in Guizhou, and a festival food custom during the Qingming Festival. The history of cake making has been more than 100 years, and there were many franchises in various parts of Guizhou before and after liberation. The early cakes were made into moon cake shapes, with fillings such as ham, washed sand, roses, and white sugar. When eating, put a little lard in a pan and fry on a low fire until both sides are slightly yellow, crispy, sweet and delicious. Nowadays, the varieties of cakes in various parts of Guizhou are complicated and varied with different fillings, and the flavors and shapes are also diverse.
6. Wooden Hammer Crisp
The wooden hammer crisp is made by mixing the boiled syrup and fried dried fruits, placing them on a homemade chopping board, and then quickly having two strong men swing wooden hammers to smash them into thin pancakes with syrup and dried fruit, and then cut them while they are still hot. It tastes crispy and sweet but not greasy. The dried fruits are selected green ingredients such as osmanthus, monk fruit, walnuts, peanuts and sesame.

I spent more than 200 yuan to see the reflection of the yellow cloth worth 20 yuan. I feel that the more than 2,000 yuan I spent on this trip to Guilin has appreciated. Very good. I recommend everyone to choose the March 3 cruise (18th), which is the style of Zhuang Township.
Good service. Very good hardware facilities. The food is also rich and not expensive. The only thing is that the weather was not good that day. Everything else is very good.
