Of course, it is convenient to get off at Guilin Railway Station on Zhongshan South Road, Xiangshan District. Guilin people call this station South Station, and it is called Guilin Station on train tickets and bus plates.

Guilin is one of the earliest tourist cities in China. There are three classic scenic spots in the city: Elephant Trunk Mountain, Fubo Mountain, Diecai Mountain, Reed Flute Cave, and Qixing Cave. Now there is a tour of Two Rivers and Four Lakes.

The distribution of other tourist attractions is centered in Guilin City, radiating to surrounding counties such as Yangshuo, Longsheng, and Xing'an. The transportation from the urban area to these county attractions is very convenient. The shuttle bus to Yangshuo and Longsheng takes about 15 minutes.

The shuttle bus to Xing'an takes about 30 minutes.

There are also many accommodations and restaurants in the city and various scenic spots, making it suitable for self-guided tours.

But self-guided tours require you to do your homework in advance.

All kinds of accommodation, meals, and attraction tickets will be cheaper if you buy them online through Ctrip.com, Qunar.com, Xinxin.com, Nuomi.com, Meituan.com, Wowotuan.com, etc. It is recommended that you group buy hotel accommodation and even meals online.

However, it will be troublesome and time-consuming to pick up the tickets purchased in a group, so you need to think about it in advance.

If you are traveling independently and want the convenience of taking a bus, it is recommended to stay in Xiangshan District. Xiangshan District has a bus terminal, South Railway Station (Guilin Station), Qintan Bus Terminal, and is also close to Liangjiang Airport.

When going to Yangshuo, you have to take a bus at the bus terminal; when going to Longsheng, you have to take a bus at Qintan Bus Terminal; when going to Xing'an Lemandi, you have to take a bus at Guibei Bus Terminal.

There are buses No. 1, 99 and 100 from Xiangshan District to Guibei Bus Terminal and North Railway Station, and bus No. 22 to West Railway Station, which is more convenient.

Reminder: The most affordable dining in Xiangshan District is in the Carle Food Court on the fourth floor of Lianda Plaza near Xiangjiang Hotel. It has many varieties and is cheap. The dining on Hong Street and Xicheng Road are also relatively solid. Don’t go to the South Ring Road area.

, that is, the section from Xiangshan Park, across Wenchang Bridge to Nanmen Bridge, that is, from the Wenchang Bridge traffic light to the Zhongshan Hotel along the street, there are so-called specialty restaurants and souvenir shops one after another along the road, all of which specialize in extorting money from other places.

For tourists, locals will never go.

If you want to go shopping and go to the night market, it is recommended to stay in the area from Guilin Department Store to the Central Square and Smile Hall.

Note: For safety reasons, do not expose your money when you are out.

In Yangshuo, some bad guys robbed cyclists.

There are thieves on Guilin's buses, bus stations, bus stations, train stations, pedestrian streets, and even on the streets, both men and women. The most common ones are at bus stations and train stations with many foreign customers.

Do not buy or stay in shops near train stations and bus stations. There are many thieves there, and shopkeepers and clerks are also very shady. Most of them will bully out-of-towners. The most despicable thing is to play the trick of missing corners on bills.

In addition, don’t buy expensive things in various scenic spots.

Also, don’t expect to have an affair in Guilin. There are many escorts in Guilin. They will take the initiative to strike up a conversation with you and invite you to watch movies, sing, drink coffee, drink, etc., just to kill you.

The tricycle drivers soliciting customers in hotels in Guilin are basically all scammers. When taking a taxi, beware of unlicensed taxis. Even if it is a regular taxi, don’t trust the driver’s words at all. We do not rule out the possibility that he is also a scammer. Don’t go to the one he recommends.

KTV, bars, travel agencies, N-day tours, restaurants, etc.

If you encounter blackmail by bullies and black forces, the best thing to do is to find a way to escape on your own. If you really can't escape, call 110 to call the police. If the police don't come out, there's nothing you can do.

The above-mentioned ugly phenomena have been repeatedly banned by relevant government parties, and we have to protect ourselves.

About traveling on the Li River.

There are two ways: one is to take the Li River tourist ship, the ticket is 210 yuan per person, get on the boat from Zhujiang Pier at 9:00-9:30 in the morning, and go down the river. The journey takes about 4-5 hours, about

Arrive at Yangshuo Longtoushan Pier at 2:30 in the afternoon, with a water distance of 83 kilometers. This is operated by Guilin Tourism Co., Ltd. and is very formal.

Another option is to take a bamboo raft ride on the Li River with an electric motor. The journey is from Yangdi to Xingping, an 18-kilometer water journey.

Buy tickets at the ticket office of the Lijiang Scenic Area in Yangdi Township and take a bamboo raft tour. The retail price is 216 yuan per bamboo raft for 4 people. Tickets are sold based on the bamboo raft, and the price is the same for less than 4 people.

Under normal circumstances, as soon as you arrive at Yangdi Pier, someone will sell you a bamboo raft tour. They sell it on a per-person basis, usually 150 yuan per person.

Please note: Yangdi itself is open all day long, but the rafting time is generally: 7:00-10:30, 12:00-17:00. This is because the ship has to pass by, 10:30-12:

00 is the time when the bamboo raft is closed.

The bamboo raft tickets sold at the ticket office are for taking a bamboo raft to swim the Li River from Yangdi to Xingping.

After landing in Xingping, we took a bus to Yangshuo.

If you make a strong counteroffer and the bamboo raft worker becomes annoyed, he may only take you to see the reflection area of ??the yellow cloth, which is the background of 20 yuan, and then dump you.

For the specific tour of the Li River, you can go to the "Li River Guide" on the "Official Website of the Li River Scenic Area in Guilin, China". You can also buy ferry tickets for the Li River on this website.
