Remember to book your tickets at least 3 days in advance! It is especially recommended to go through the VIP channel, 100 yuan per person, and it is required for people over 1.2 meters. No need to queue, as long as it is a ticket for the day, there is no time limit! This means that even if you buy a time in the afternoon of the day, as long as you choose VIP, you can enter at any time in the morning!
Before going: Why is it so expensive, 278 per person. After going down the mountain: Why is it only 278😂, the scenery is amazing. It rained the night before, and I took Line A to the mountain early the next morning. It was more than 8 o'clock in the morning, and the queue time was not long. It was foggy as soon as I got up the mountain. It felt so beautiful.

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.
1. **Beautiful natural wonders**
- **Red Cloud Golden Summit**: 2,336 meters above sea level, the top of the mountain is divided into two parts, connected by a stone bridge. When surrounded by clouds and mist, it looks like a "sky city".
- **Mushroom Stone**: An iconic landscape, a mushroom-shaped boulder has stood for billions of years and is a holy place for photography.
- **Sea of clouds and Buddha's light**: When the sky clears after rain, you can often see the sea of clouds rolling, and if you are lucky, you can also see the wonder of "Buddha's light".
2. **Buddhist cultural heritage**
- As the dojo of Maitreya Bodhisattva, there are ancient temples such as **Cheng'en Temple** and **Shakya Hall** on the mountain, which are very popular.
- Prayer flags and cliff carvings can be seen along the way, and the atmosphere is peaceful.
3. **Primitive ecological experience**
- The forest coverage rate exceeds 95%, and there are rare animals and plants such as Guizhou golden monkeys and Davidia involucrata. The air is fresh and the average temperature in summer is only about 20℃.

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
I saw the beautiful Rainbow Waterfall in Xiaoqikong, Libo. The tour guide Xiao Chen explained it in detail and smoothly, arranged the itinerary reasonably, and recommended a lot of local delicacies to us.

The scenery in the Miao village is really beautiful, very commercial, and the whole village is full of food and drinks. It is troublesome to enter the village, and you need to transfer to 2 different scenic area transportations. It is highly recommended not to carry large luggage. Hotels in the scenic area will be more expensive, but it is still recommended to stay in the scenic area for sightseeing. At 23:00 and 0:00 in the evening, there are still many people watching the night view. The transportation included in the ticket only includes 4 times.
The scenic area is too commercialized, with small shops and restaurants everywhere. There are many girls renting clothes for taking photos, and they can be seen everywhere. The scenic area only needs to go to the second stop, the observation deck. The third stop is a transportation transfer station. There is no scenic spot, so there is no need to go up. To be honest, the scenery of the observation deck is average, and the view is blocked by the homestay under your nose. The mountain and water gate wine costs 29 yuan per person, so those who are worried about being stopped to drink can rest assured.

The Xiangshan Scenic Area is truly a masterpiece of nature. Nature is so magical. The natural landscape of Buddha is breathtaking. The karst landforms on both sides of the Li River are eye-catching. It is a highly recommended tourist attraction.
Free entry, a "giant elephant" is located here, long nose here to drink thousands of years of water. The blue waves are rippling, crescent-like caves, during the boat, you can see the sky and water shadows lingering between the stone seams.

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.

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!

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
What a great experience! The terraces are spectacular. It's a bit of a pity that it rained and I had to take an umbrella to take pictures, but the good thing is that I can see the sea of clouds, like entering a fairyland, very beautiful!

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.

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.
After the purchase, the after-sales service was very fast. The staff immediately contacted to supplement the documents, arrange the sailing date, and pick up the tickets the next day. It was very clear and thoughtful. The dock staff helped to pick up the tickets, and the lounge directly checked the tickets and boarded the ship. The ship was neat and orderly, and the attractions were introduced one by one. The catering was equipped with snacks and special platters, and you could also order dishes. We brought our own food but didn't try it. The weather changed quickly during the voyage. It is recommended to bring your own raincoat, which is also sold on the ship. Overall, it is a comfortable and beautiful travel choice.
