The scenery is unbeatable, and it's worth the trip. But the exit of this scenic spot is too hard to find. In order to attract commercial traffic, the direction is deliberately wrong. There are almost no exit signs. I took a lot of detours, even in the hot weather.
As the largest transnational waterfall in Asia, Detian Transnational Waterfall Scenic Area spans China and Vietnam, and has the following comprehensive comments:
Core highlights
Transnational wonders: The waterfall is more than 200 meters wide and has a vertical drop of 70 meters. In the rainy season, the water is as majestic as a galloping horse, and in the dry season, it presents a quiet and beautiful cascading water12.
Seasonal scenery: In summer and autumn, the water volume is abundant (best from June to October), and rainbows are often seen in the mist; in spring and winter, the water is clear and the surrounding area is lush and green14.
Special experience:
Bamboo raft roaming (30 yuan/person) can feel the shock of the waterfall up close15;
Climbing high and looking over (glass plank road, flying magic carpet, etc.) to overlook the panoramic view of the China-Vietnam border17;
The Sino-Vietnamese style street can taste Vietnamese coffee, durian cakes and other exotic delicacies16.

There are a lot of people, and the sightseeing bus takes a long time to get to each stop, going around and around. Other than that, everything else is good. Although it is the hottest attraction in Guizhou, it is also windy. It will not be sunny after 4 pm. There are many places for children to play in the water.
Libo Xiaoqikong is worth visiting again. The scenery is beautiful. The key is that the service quality of the scenic spot is too good. The sightseeing bus connection is very good, the toilet is clean, and the service station has rich items. The staff has a good attitude. It is worthy of being a 5A scenic spot. Thumbs up

It's so big that you can't walk around it all. You need to take a sightseeing bus. The park has all kinds of vegetation and is shaded by trees. It's a good place for leisure running. Many people run here. Next time you are on a business trip and choose to run nearby, come in and run.
The price/performance ratio is good, the scenic area is quite large, it's nice to walk back and forth, and the view from the higher pavilion is very good, it's worth the climb. You can see swans on the ground

This place not only has a good cultural heritage, but also has beautiful scenery. It is very suitable to come here to play. While understanding the cultural heritage, you can also feel the beautiful scenery around you.
Boat tour: You can choose a day tour or a night tour. A day tour of One River and Four Lakes allows you to enjoy the picturesque natural scenery of mountains and rivers, and many famous mountains appear one after another along the way; a night tour of Two Rivers and Four Lakes allows you to experience the night view of the Guilin water system under the light, and watch exquisite performances such as osprey fishing.
• Hiking tour: Suitable for tourists who have plenty of time and like to explore freely. You can stroll along the lakeshore, enjoy the scenery along the way, and feel the urban atmosphere of Guilin, but it is more time-consuming and laborious.
• Cycling tour: Cycling routes such as Yiwu Road-Baoji Bridge-Tiefo Road-Diecai Road-Binjiang Road can enjoy some scenery of Guihu Lake and Lijiang River, which is more flexible and convenient.

Quick check-in route: Enter from Gate 3, walk 150 meters along the alley to the first viewing platform to take photos, then exit from Gate 2, and it will take about 20 minutes to complete.
• In-depth tour route: Enter from Gate 1, first see Xiangshan, follow the signs to the entrance of the back hiking trail, visit Xiangshan Shuiyue Cave on the way, then go up the mountain from the back hiking trail, reach the top to see Puxian Pagoda in about 15 minutes, then go down the mountain from the front hiking trail, cross the bridge to the first viewing platform on the opposite bank to take photos, and you can exit from Gate 2. The whole journey takes about 1 hour or more.
Nice attraction, free reservation, need to determine the entrance and exit in advance, for example, enter through Gate 3 and exit through Gate 2. There are many good restaurants nearby, such as Chunji Roast Goose, which is highly recommended. You can eat there. There are many people, so you need to prepare a seat.

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!
Jingjiang Prince's Palace is located in downtown Guilin. It is more convenient to get there if you live in the city. The scenic area is not big and there is a tour guide. We followed the tour for the first half and then toured on our own. The palace has Lingnan characteristics and is surrounded by mountains and water with good feng shui.

The seats on the cruise ship are Chinese-style, very high-end, with free snacks, and an oil tea experience activity in the middle of the journey. While enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Li River, you can taste monk fruit tea and go to the top floor to take photos. The four-hour trip was very enjoyable.
The scenery is amazing, but I don't know if it was because I booked too late or what, I couldn't book a meal-included ticket. I can only order a meal (set meal) separately from the boat ticket. The set meal starts at 200 yuan, and there is also a snack set meal (4 special snacks) for 100 yuan. In addition, for some reason, the seats assigned to us were all opposite to the direction of the boat's travel. I was dizzy.

Cruise & raft on Li River

Family, you must visit the Li River when you come to Guilin! This trip is really worth it!
From the moment I stepped on the cruise ship, I was shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of me. The river water is clear and green, like a ribbon winding between the mountains with strange peaks. During the boat, every turn is a brand new landscape painting, and I really experienced the beauty of "people swimming in the painting".
The most impressive thing on the way was the Nine Horses Painting Mountain. The tour guide said that people who can see nine horses are very lucky. My eyes were dazzled and I could only barely find a few horses. It was so interesting. There is also a 20-yuan RMB background shooting location. When I saw it with my own eyes, I couldn't help but take out the banknotes to compare and take pictures, and the sense of accomplishment was full.
The cruise service is also very considerate, the staff is warm and thoughtful, and they will introduce the attractions in detail. The only shortcoming is that there are a lot of tourists on holidays, and you have to seize the opportunity to take pictures. However, this has not affected my love for the Li River at all. It would be a great pity to come to Guilin and not visit the Li River. I strongly recommend it to everyone!
🌿 July Guilin Lijiang Scenic Area Travel Evaluation 🌿 1️⃣ July Lijiang, blue sky and white clouds, clear water and green mountains, picturesque scenery. Take a bamboo raft or cruise to visit the Lijiang River, the karst peaks and green water along the way are dizzying, as if you are in a flowing landscape picture. 2️⃣ activities rich Lijiang Scenic Area provides a wealth of sightseeing activities, including bamboo rafting, cruise ship sightseeing, etc. Bamboo rafting is closer to nature, suitable for families and couples; cruise ship sightseeing can enjoy a broader scenery, suitable for tourists with limited time. 3️⃣ Convenient transportation Guilin Liangjiang International Airport has convenient transportation, and there are direct flights from many cities in China. The city has developed transportation, and you can easily reach the Lijiang Scenic Area by bus or taxi. 4️⃣ Guilin rice noodles are recommended for food in Guilin, and sour beans and crispy skin meat are soul collocations. In addition, beer fish, snail brewing, etc. are also not to be missed, delicious and endless aftertaste. 5️⃣ Practical information - Open hours: Open all day, cruise ships and bamboo rafts are usually operating from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. - Ticket prices: bamboo rafting 150 yuan/person, cruise ship sightseeing 220 yuan/person. - Sun protection measures: The weather is hot in July, it is recommended to apply sunscreen every 3 hours. - Rainproof preparation: more showers in July, carry umbrellas with you. 6️⃣ Accommodation recommendation - Lijiang B&B "Lizhu": 180° river view room, affordable, can hear the sound of running water in the middle of the night. - Urban "City Convenience Hotel": Chain hotel, clean and tidy, only 8 minutes walk to Zhengyang Pedestrian Street. 🌟 In summary, Guilin Lijiang Scenic Area in July, although hot, but picturesque, very suitable for family outings. Whether you take a bamboo raft to visit the Lijiang River or taste specialties in the city, you can feel the unique charm of Guilin.

Because of the water level of the Li River, the performance was changed. But it was my first time watching it, so I didn't know what was different. It started at 8 o'clock and ended around 9:10. I can only say it was okay. I personally think it was not as good as Guilin Eternal Love. Audiences left one after another before it ended. (Bring mosquito repellent spray and fans, it's stuffy and there are many mosquitoes outdoors at night)
"Impression of Liu Sanjie" is a large-scale Guilin landscape live performance. "Impression of Liu Sanjie" is the core project of China Lijiang Landscape Theater. It is the first "landscape live performance" in China and the first work in the Impression series of tour guide Zhang Yimou.

Guilin Eternal Love Scenic Area, located in Yangshuo County, Guilin, is worth your personal experience. The core highlight of the scenic area is the large-scale song and dance drama "Guilin Eternal Love", which uses a three-dimensional stage design that interweaves water, land and air to fully display Guilin's long history and local cultural characteristics in front of the audience. The whole performance is wonderful, allowing the audience to enjoy an audio-visual feast and give everyone a deeper understanding of Guilin.
