#discoverchina Day 1: Yulin City Walk Highlights Morning: 8:00 AM: Arrive by high-speed train, head straight to Old Chen's Original Soup Snail Rice Noodles for a bowl with duck feet and fried egg. 9:30 AM: Visit Aken Handcrafted to DIY Yulin’s special sour treats. I recommend the combination of mango, pineapple, and chili powder. 🌶️ Afternoon: 2:00 PM: Rent a multi-person bike at Yulin Garden Expo Park (50 RMB/hour) and cycle around the lake. Don’t miss the giant "Welcome to Yulin" floral installation. 🌸 4:00 PM: Try the classic taste of Zhang Fei Cassava Soup (3 RMB/bowl). Adding taro balls makes it even better! Evening: 7:00 PM: Visit Yuntian Palace and capture the “Golden Jade Fortune” night view (best photo spot on the People’s East Road Bridge). 8:00 PM: Head to Shizi Street Night Market for Chen Ji fried dough sticks with iced soy milk. Then, take a stroll around Jiuzhong Lane for some lantern wall photos in traditional Chinese outfits. 📸 Day 2: Mountains, Waterfalls, and Food Delights 🌳🌊🍲 Morning: 7:00 AM: Start your day with Duhowei for a traditional breakfast of raw rice noodles and fried dough sticks. Try the hidden local dipping sauce (soy sauce!) for a unique twist. Mountain Adventure: 9:00 AM: Take a 1.5-hour drive to Dadong Mountain National Forest Park and head straight to Lotus Waterfall. Enjoy the scenic Jiupu Valley hike (bring stream-crossing shoes!) and a picnic on the mountain meadow. 🏞️ Afternoon: 2:00 PM: Capture the stunning curves on the way down the mountain for a highway photo op. 🚗 4:00 PM: Stop by Tan Ji Snail Rice Noodles, and try it with Chinese sausage and tofu skin. Nearby, the elderly lady’s locust flower powder is a hidden dessert gem! 🍨 #naturalwonders #travel
