But the staff on the boat kept saying that the small photos don’t cost money. I sent them to everyone. I went to take them. I only knew that I had to spend 35 yuan to buy a big photo. I sent a small photo. The photos were printed out. I only bought it. I found that Guilin is like this in many places. The staff only emphasized that the small photos are sent at the beginning, and they are bound to the big photos without mentioning that the small photos are bound, and finally they will let you spend money to buy the big photos."Guilin.Downtown/Elephant Trunk Hill/Two Rivers And Four Lakes814m from downtownHighlights: The Two Rivers and Four Lakes Scenic Area includes the Li River, Taohua River, Shan Lake, Rong Lake, Gui Lake, and Mulong Lake in the downtown area of Guilin.
