West Street Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Yangshuo | 3 Days 2 Nights Travel Itinerary, The Ultimate Pitfall-Avoidance Guide
| 3 Days 2 Nights Travel Itinerary, The Ultimate Pitfall-Avoidance Guide. Traveling with kids and dogs in Yangshuo, where every step is a scene, and it's picturesque like a scroll‼️ Although mom had a little fall while cycling, luckily we didn't fall into any traps, no queuing, no traffic jams, and we had a happy 3 days and 2 nights. Here comes the travel guide
Day 1: The most beautiful Yulong River cycling
●Route: Depart from the hotel👉Ten-Mile Gallery👉Gongnong Bridge👉Yulong River Trail (navigation)👉Yulong River Dam👉Yangshuo check-in point at the end of West Street. Enjoy delicious food on West Street in the evening.
●No entrance fee for the whole journey, few people and beautiful scenery‼️
●Tips: West Street is similar to most ancient town streets in the country, heavily commercialized, and not worth strolling around. Better to take more photos by the water
Day 2: Xianggong Mountain👉Xingping Wharf👉20 Yuan Background Spot👉Xingping Ancient Town
●Xianggong Mountain: Take a boat from the wharf of Xingping Ancient Town to the opposite shore, the boat fare is 10 Yuan/person, it is recommended not to skimp. After landing, take a chartered car to Xianggong Mountain, 150 Yuan/person, including the entrance ticket of 60 Yuan, which can take you directly to the entrance. The viewing platform of Xianggong Mountain offers the most beautiful scenery of Yangshuo, which is definitely worth a visit
●20 Yuan Background Spot: I have a detailed introduction in my previous note, everyone be careful not to be fooled to other places.
●Xingping Ancient Town: Personally, I think it lacks distinctive features, you can choose whether to go according to your preferences, not far from the 20 Yuan Background Spot.
●Note: Parking and electric vehicles are charged‼️
Day 3: Fuli Bridge
●The scenery here is beautiful, and if you have enough time, you must go. It is also the starting point of the bamboo rafting wharf.
●Tip: Because we had to hit the road, we played for a while on the third morning and then left. You can arrange bamboo rafting on the third day‼️
【Precautions】
●Yulong River bamboo rafting: Be sure to book in advance, tickets are released promptly at 8 pm every night, and we missed out because we missed it.
●Renting electric motorcycles: It is recommended to rent from the hotel or homestay where you are staying, 30 Yuan/day, ride back directly after use, convenient and affordable.
●Norovirus: I heard that this virus has been quite serious recently, so we didn't eat any raw or cold food. The taste of beer fish is mediocre, but there is a beef rice noodle that is really delicious, economical, and the kids also liked it a lot, we ate there for two consecutive meals.

7 Things You Must Know Before Going to Guilin, Knowing These is Enough Before Visiting the Best Landscape in the World!
Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, what are the things you must know when visiting Guilin. I, who have been to Guilin N times, want to share with you a few things you must know before traveling to Guilin.
-
1️⃣When traveling to Guilin, the general destinations are concentrated in two areas, one is in Guilin city, and the other is Yangshuo. It is recommended to spend 1-2 days in the city and 1-2 days in Yangshuo.
2️⃣The main attractions in Guilin city are Elephant Trunk Hill, Wangcheng, Dongxi Lane, Two Rivers and Four Lakes, and Zhengyang Road Pedestrian Street. These places are all close to each other, so it is most convenient to stay nearby.
3️⃣You must book in advance for the night tour of Two Rivers and Four Lakes, otherwise you may not be able to buy boat tickets on the day.
4️⃣Chongshan's Guilin rice noodles are delicious. You should eat them dry first and then add soup. This is the authentic way to eat them.
5️⃣You can choose train, car, charter, or cruise ship from Guilin to Yangshuo. If time permits, it is recommended to choose a cruise ship. It takes 3-4h to reach Yangshuo, and you can see the Guilin landscape along the way, such as the background of the 20 yuan RMB.
6️⃣You can also take a bamboo raft to tour the Guilin landscape in Yangshuo. In winter, if you choose to take a bamboo raft, you may get wet and cold, so consider carefully. You don't need to arrange too much time for the bamboo raft, just experience it for a while.
7️⃣The bustling area of Yangshuo is West Street, you can stay nearby. Beer fish is a local specialty, and you can also experience the Guangxi performance of Impression Liu Sanjie.

Yulong River Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Strolling in the painting
'The reflection of the peaks makes the mountains float on the water, without water and mountains, it's not captivating.' This truly depicts Guilin thoroughly. People embedded in this landscape will see many naturally formed scenes. During the day, there are green mountains and clear waves, at dusk, it's golden and purple, and at night, there are layers of shadows. The creation of ink painting between mountains and rivers is probably conveying this.
When boating, when looking at the river, what will people think of? They will think of 'Only the breeze on the river, and the bright moon between the mountains, the ears hear it and it becomes sound, the eyes meet it and it becomes color. There is no prohibition to take it, and it is inexhaustible to use it. This is the inexhaustible treasure of the creator, and it is what I and you are comfortable with.'

Xingping Ancient Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
When you come to Yangshuo, you must first visit Xingping Ancient Town, it's really beautiful|||
|||. When you come to Yangshuo, you must first visit Xingping Ancient Town, it's really beautiful|||❤️ Before going to Yangshuo, it is recommended to visit Xingping Ancient Town to tour the Li River. Boating on the green waves, as if you are in a painting, this feeling is too wonderful! I have organized some strategies for bamboo rafting on the Li River and in Yangshuo, 🉑 for reference!
📍Tour route: Xingping Ancient Town→Li River Bamboo Raft→Yulong River Bamboo Raft→Ten-Mile Gallery

❤️This is 🦌 Shang Dou Dou, a person who loves to eat, play, and share! Join me in exploring the fun of food and attractions!
The mountains of Guilin and the sunset you are unbelievably beautiful
This is my third visit to Guilin, and I can only say it's really suitable for those Guangdong tourists who only have a three-day two-night trip. If you don't know where to go, Guilin is a great place to satisfy your travel cravings.
1⃣️ Take the high-speed train directly to Yangshuo Station, then take a Didi or a 5 yuan bus from the nearby station to Xingping County.
2⃣️ Rent a small electric scooter from the hotel's back door; they are everywhere. Be bold and rent one. It's 20-25 for a day, and they generally won't rip you off unless there's serious damage.
3⃣️ Our itinerary today was ⛰️ Laozhai Mountain, in Xingping County of Yangshuo (ask any local shop owner in Xingping Town, they all know). We rode the electric scooter there and back.
❗️ The admission is free, and there's no one guarding it! You just need to be brave! The road along the way is not very good, and there might be some 'immortals'. Just pray for safety, and once you reach the top, you have to climb rocks to get to the panoramic view of the Li River landscape.
❗️ Don't go too late. It's estimated to take an hour and a half to climb up. Make sure to come down before it gets dark. I happened to catch the sunset🌄, and it was a rush to come down. It's safer to hurry and accompany others when descending.
Just came back from Guilin and really want to speak some truth
For those who want to go to Guilin recently, really don't look at the previous guides anymore, the previous guides may be a bit outdated, not very timely, these are what I just sorted out from Guilin in January.

♥️After arriving in Yangshuo
‼️Day 1️⃣:
14:00➡️Moonlight Image Museum
Take a group of travel photos with the landscape, the makeup artist and photographer are very patient. It is recommended to set aside a whole afternoon, you need to make up and style, go to the shooting location, the bamboo raft requires a fee of 10r.
18:00➡️Fire Bull Beer Fish
Right next to the Moonlight Image Museum, you can start eating after changing clothes! Duck feet pot and beer fish are good, passion fruit ribs are really worth a try for those from other places!! The sour and sweet taste is great! The ingredients are good, the environment is great, close to West Street.
21:00➡️Moon Villa Resort Hotel
Each unit has a hot spring, the hotel will pick up from West Street to the hotel, there are late-night desserts after arriving at the hotel, let the aunt clean and disinfect the pool and put water at this time, you can soak in the hot spring and relax after eating dessert and washing. I stayed for two nights at once!
‼️Day 2️⃣:
Sleep until you wake up naturally or enjoy breakfast, go to the hotel public area to daze or take pictures.
12:00➡️Listening to Li's Waterfront Restaurant
The scenery is really great! The outdoor area is like being on the Li River, a visual feast, recommend their cheese baked fries, suggest letting the chef bake for a longer time, the crust will be more crispy!! You can also have afternoon tea after lunch!
18:00➡️Walk along the river to West Street, eat and shop. Go back to the hotel when you are tired.
Day 3️⃣
After breakfast, rest for a while, pack up your luggage and start your return journey. If you have enough time, it is recommended to go cycling in the Ten Mile Gallery.
Guilin Travel~ Who says you can't come to Guilin Yangshuo in winter, without stepping on a mine!
I came to Guilin at the end of January, originally thinking that there was nothing to play in the off-season in winter, but I was not disappointed. But try not to choose to come on rainy days, there will be no experience. It's very comfortable to ride an electric bike around the Ten-Mile Gallery when the weather is good! The scenery of Yulong River is very beautiful! The opening hours are from 8:00 to 17:00. Don't believe the scalpers on the side of the road when you take a bamboo raft, it's a huge pit! The price will be raised very high. Buying on the spot at the water dock is 160 per raft, and only 2 people can sit. Get up early to book the ticket in advance, the bamboo raft ticket is limited. The strawberries planted on the side of the road are not big but very sweet? The night market on Yangshuo West Street is also very lively, with many special snacks in Guilin, a 20 yuan RMB check-in place. It only costs 20 to take a bamboo raft to take pictures in Xingping Ancient Town. The main transportation tool in Guilin Yangshuo is still a small electric bike, which can be rented everywhere on the side of the road for 30-50 a day! Because they are all mountain roads, some places can't be reached by taxi. It won't be very cold when you come in January and February, you can bring a fleece jacket to wear at night. The temperature difference between day and night is large, and it is not cold at all to wear a thicker sweater during the day!
Guilin must-eat food: ·Guilin rice noodles·Snail powder·Beer fish·Bamboo rice·Bamboo chicken. Screw chicken
