1. In Qixing Park, before 6: 00 in the morning, local people are free to go in and out for morning exercises. After this time, the local people will get two yuan tickets, and the pass card is 1 yuan/time. Introduction: Never hang a camera on your back, so the doorman can see at a glance that you are traveling. You'd better learn a few words of Guilin dialect. The guard felt suspicious and asked questions, saying that he was from which school in Guilin and forgot to bring his papers. There is also a dangerous way to climb into the park from the back hill. To say that 30 tickets for this park are actually worthwhile, most of the scenic spots are classic, but why not adopt this method?
2. Two Rivers and Four Lakes (0 yuan) This is a water city with a water system around the city comparable to Venice-advertising language. The advertisement of this scenic spot is not exaggerated, but it is actually quite good. The mistake is that many team members were cheated into taking a night cruise by boat, and the water cost exceeded 100 yuan. In fact, all parts of this scenic spot are connected with the urban area, and there are no gate walls or tickets for sale. It is a super-large scenic spot that is completely free.
3. Jingjiang Wang Fu (0 yuan) "Jingjiang Wang Fu" is located in the center of Guilin and has the reputation of "a city within a city". The unique peak of the "king of mountains" in Guilin stands in the city, and the poem "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" written by the poet Wang of the Song Dynasty is engraved in the city. The original site of Guangxi Normal University, so the side door next to it is for students to enter and leave, and it is also free to enter. The doorman won't check the tickets. The point is that you don't dress like a tourist. The scenic spot has accumulated many humanistic landscapes in Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China, and it is the most concentrated place of Confucianism and Taoism culture in Guilin. The whole city has concentrated the history and culture of Guilin for hundreds of years, and its cultural background is very profound. There is a natural cave at the foot of Duxiufeng, which stands in the center of the city. The cave was named Taiping Rock because of the discovery of Taiping Bao Tong. It used to be the place where the kings of Jingjiang worshipped immortals, and the Taoist culture in the cave was well preserved. Among them, the 60-Jia statue of Mo Yan stone carving is the only Mo Yan stone carving found in mainland China so far.
4. Swimming in Lijiang River to see Elephant Trunk Mountain. If you don't touch the Lijiang River in summer, you won't believe that China really has unpolluted water. Yuanzhou near jiefang bridge is a free swimming pool. The swimming safety zone designated by the government only costs 1~2 yuan to store clothes. Pizhou is opposite Elephant Trunk Mountain, so you can see Elephant Trunk Mountain for free, because the entrance of Elephant Trunk Park is covered with bamboo, so it is difficult for you to take pictures. Considering that Elephant Trunk Mountain is the city emblem of Guilin and it is very famous, you don't want to spend 33 yuan to buy tickets, so a few people went in on a private bamboo raft! This will give full play to your bargaining talent, and it is normal to cut to 5- 10 yuan. Entering the park and buying a ticket have the same effect. Coming out of the gate aboveboard is Shanshan Lake, which is two rivers and four lakes.
5. Guilin is the first in the country with three exemptions. Except that the park is free for the immortal Guilin people in the morning and evening, some buses and all toilets in Guilin are free. Do you know the toilet revolution in Guilin? It has been launched for several years! They are all 4-and 5-star public toilets, which can dry their hands and sense automatically, without charge! People in big cities won't believe it! There are also free buses in Guilin, which start at No.5, like No.50-59, and most of them are connected in series with scenic spots. The bus in Guilin carries people for free, the smoking factory does not exist, the five-star public toilets are all broken, short skirts are worn outside the pants, the bird's nest on the tree is full of vegetables, flowers bloom all the year round, and English is good. The old lady is called a dog by her friends, landscape calligraphy and painting are easy to take, and there are ethnic villages in the city. Watermelon frost sells them at home and abroad, caves can compete with fairyland, pigs run outdoors in the suburbs, rice noodles are delicious and cheap, long beans are used as belts, and there is an extra piece behind the shoes. Before introducing the scenic spots with lower fees, we still solemnly introduce the most authentic and cost-effective delicious snacks to arouse your appetite.
6. Guilin rice noodles100g with beef jerky10g (2.50 yuan) Guilin rice noodles have different tastes due to different bittern: soup powder, marinated vegetable powder, beef brisket powder, hot and sour powder, horse meat rice noodles, etc. The authentic way to eat is to mix well and eat dry first, and then drink bone soup slowly after eating. The whole taste of rice noodles is integrated into your heart. Can you believe that there is a city that has rice noodles for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and you can't even eat rice noodles at night? That is the famous Guilin rice noodles. It's very cheap, but I'm most afraid that my donkey friends will indulge in it and will mix it when they get back. At present, well-known local rice noodle shops in Guilin include Shengli Rice Noodle (Wayao), Century Rice Noodle (Jiefang West Road, opposite Smile Hall), Youyixuan (Lequn Road), Fu Lin Rice Noodle (Zhongshan North Road), Qiu Ling Rice Noodle (East Ring Road) and Chongshan Rice Noodle (Zhengyang Pedestrian Street is near the square).
7. Central Square and Zhengyang Pedestrian Street The Zhengyang Pedestrian Street in Guilin starts from the mountain lake in the south, reaches Jiefang East Road and Zhengyangmen in the Ming Dynasty in the north, borders the world-famous Lijiang River in the east and the central square in the west, with a total length of 666 meters (which coincides with the slogan of "Sixty-six Great Shun" in China). The pavement is a simple and quaint green slate. On this street, there are both antique buildings in China that express traditional origins such as Zhengyang, and folk buildings in northern Guangxi with Guilin landscape relief. There are buildings in South Asia, Japan and South Korea, as well as European classical architecture; There is both the emotional appeal of Yangshuo West Street and the excitement of Wangfujing in Beijing. It has a strong commercial atmosphere and traditional cultural atmosphere; It has both national style and modern charm, combining Chinese and western, and integrating ancient and modern; Known as "the first street in western China". Main attractions: The south entrance of Zhengyang Pedestrian Street is placed with the cultural relic "Qushui Flowing", and eight osmanthus trees are planted next to it, symbolizing "Bagui". Shopping is convenient, which concentrates all the eating, drinking and having fun in Guilin. The Great Falls Hotel is the world's largest man-made waterfall "Nine Days Galaxy", which was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2002. The upper part of the waterfall is 72 meters wide and the lower part is 75 meters wide. Water flows from the 45-meter-high roof to the 5.6-meter-high pool on the second floor of the hotel along the 83-degree arc glass curtain wall, and then falls into the ground pool, with an hourly flow of 2560 cubic meters. The waterfall has seven kinds of fancy styles, such as Guilin osmanthus, waves and curtain waves, and there is a waterscape sightseeing platform below the waterfall for tourists to watch. The "Nine Days Galaxy" waterfall echoes the music fountain in the downtown square of Guilin, becoming a landmark man-made landscape in Guilin and a world-class tourist and leisure attraction in downtown Guilin. Every day, Chinese and foreign tourists and citizens come to watch the tour in an endless stream. At night (8: 00 p.m.), under the illumination and background of light, the waterfall is like pearls scattered, crystal clear and surrounded by water mist, just like a fairyland. The whole waterfall reappears the intoxicating artistic conception of Li Bai's famous sentence "Flying down three thousands of feet, suspecting that the Milky Way has set for nine days". Because these scenic spots are open-air, there are no tickets like the two rivers and four lakes, and they are all free attractions. However, if you are traveling by yourself, you'd better find a tour guide to accompany you. The tour introduced by someone is still quite comfortable.

8. Tour Yangshuo by bike (take a bus from Guilin Bus Station 10 yuan) You can get in touch with the most fascinating scenery in the world, which is the most attractive way of self-help tour in Yangshuo, Guilin. Double car 10 yuan, bicycle 5 yuan. The classic route is from Yangshuo County → Totem Ancient Road → Julongtan → butterfly spring → Darongshu Park → Moon Mountain Park → Longmen Water Cave. The big banyan tree and butterfly spring can take photos outside without going in. Moon Mountain can see the moon from the new moon to the full moon from the opposite moon road, which is also free; Of course, the water rock is worth seeing. Personally, I think Longmen Shuiyan is more thrilling. I cut the ticket for 120 to 40 yuan, which was quite fun, and there was a mud bath. Let's go to the West Street nightclub at night. I'll feel like a petty bourgeoisie in a few years. I will avoid anything expensive. This section ends.
9. Dawei Ancient Town (take a bus from Guilin Sanlidian Grand Disc to Dawei 3~5 yuan) is another free scenic spot. So far, you seem to have spent nothing except the fare to and from 30 yuan. Recommend a thousand-year-old town-Dawei. It is suggested to go to Xiong Village near Dawei to preserve the ancient buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties! There are several small islands opposite the pier, which specialize in farmhouse tourism and are affordable. A cabin for one night is only 10 yuan/person. Eat authentic Lijiang fish and vegetables; You can also row bamboo rafts and sing karaoke, and the barbecue venue is free. As for picking strawberries, oranges and grapefruit in the field, it is ok to eat them before weighing. The local people are very simple.
10. Lingqu (about 8 ~ 10 yuan by car from Guilin to Xing 'an) Lingqu was built in the thirty-third year of Qin Shihuang, and it is an ancient canal across the Xiangjiang River system and the Pearl River system. It is located in Xing 'an, the center of the corridor, and is called "the three major water conservancy projects of Qin" together with Zheng Guoqu in Shaanxi and Dujiangyan in Sichuan. Mr. Guo Moruo called it: "Responding to the North and South of the Great Wall is a wonder of the world." There are many scenic spots and historical sites on both sides of Lingqu, such as Champion Bridge, Doumen, Sixian Temple, Feilaishi World War II, Flower Mouth, Large and Small Balance, Drainage Balance and Qin Cultural Square. There is also the memorial hall of the American Flying Tigers in World War II in the scenic spot, which is a good place to learn about the historical facts that Chinese and American people jointly fought against Japanese militarism during World War II. Guide: As the friend above said, calling a tricycle to pull you in after leaving the station can also save money on tickets. Just pay the fare. As for your question, the scenic spot is connected with the village, and the locals certainly have this privilege!
1 1. Gudong Forest Waterfall (in Dawei): 15 yuan/Ren (student price) As a natural scenic spot, it consists of Qian Jing scenic spot, ecological square, calcified waterfalls, jungle shuttle and forest sermon, including Lingshui Waterfall, Bitan Lake, strange vines and red maple. The scenic spot is a cascade waterfall formed by underground springs. The waterfall is180m higher than the water level of Lijiang River, and it can still gush out. It is the only cascade waterfall formed by underground springs in China. This is a waterfall, which has changed the scenery because of the deposition of calcium active China. Gudong Waterfall has 17 scenic spots: Butterfly Lake, Eye of Gudong, Ecological Square, Natural Guanyin, Longting Lake, Forest Bath, butterfly spring and LAM Raymond Gallery. That big forest is the green lung of Lijiang River. The freshness of spring, the green of summer, the dyeing of autumn and the simplicity of winter are all picturesque. The most rare 3,000 mu pure red maple forest is colorful, romantic and charming. Introduction: I am an environmentalist, and I also appreciate this scenic spot, because there is an environmental square inside. We can go in 15 yuan, but it seems that foreign guests want 60 yuan, which is a bit expensive. But in summer, the main ways to play are climbing waterfalls and taking a hydrophilic trip. It is romantic to see thousands of acres of red maple in autumn and winter. Note: it's basically no problem to enjoy the local student price when you meet the active donkey friends in our school, but it's hard to say during the Golden Week. Because the scenic spot should also consider his reception ability. Elephant Seven Star Park received more than 654.38+million person-times last year 1 1 month, of which the single-day reception 1 person-time exceeded 20,000. Other scenic spots are basically saturated, so it may be a wise choice to avoid the peak season.
12. Xing 'an Water Street (0 yuan) Besides the Lingqu mentioned above, Xing 'an also has a free scenic spot worth visiting. Water Street consists of five parts: Qin and Han architectural culture, ancient bridge culture, ancient sculpture culture, Lingqu historical culture and Lingnan folk culture.

With the aura of Lingqu, its special status and scenic spots, Danqing Water Street has become an eternal water street. Now it is a popular tourist attraction. Walking on the Lingqu, people feel that they are in a dream, as if they are in a picture world, which is beautiful. ...

On the banks of mountains, in beautiful waters and forests, sculptures are deep or light, wise or simple, or circuitous or circuitous. Teresa Teng Music Garden was built here. On April Fool's Day in 2005, 25 yuan also gave us a shopping voucher from 20 yuan, which was quite cost-effective. Now there is no such good opportunity.

17. The best time to visit the Dragon Ridge of Longsheng Terrace is the second half of the year after the lunar calendar 15. At this time, the terraced fields began to release water, and many excellent photographs of Longji were also produced at this time. There are also half a month before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, which is a harvest season and a golden world. Longji also has a great snow scene, but whether and when it snows every year depends on luck. Longji Terrace is just a scenic spot, including Longji Guzhuang Village (Zhuang), peace village (Zhuang), Zhongliuzhai (Yao), Dazhai Village (Yao), Tiantou Village (Yao), Xiaozhai Village (Yao) and other villages. As far as the terraces themselves are concerned, the most spectacular are the Jinkeng terraces in Dazhai and the nearby Xiaozhai terraces. Most of the titles of CCTV 12 and the publicity pictures and film and television works you often see of Longji Terrace come from Jinkeng Terrace. Peace village's seven stars with the moon are also very good, which is usually the Longji terraced fields that people often say. Traditionally, Longji Terrace has three entrances, one is Heping Village, the other is Dazhai Village, and the other is Longji Village (Longji Guzhuang Village). ■ Tickets for 50 yuan include Dazhai and Ping 'an Dragon Ridge. Take the stone road to Ping 'an and Dazhai, which takes about 4 and a half hours. Please refer to the following route description.

Guilin takes the local train (13 yuan, 6: 10- 19:30, 20 minutes per shift) to Heping Township (also Longji intersection, about 2 hours), and then waits for the bus from Longsheng to Longji at the intersection. The bus fare from Heping Road to Longji is 4.5 yuan. I heard that you can also save tickets by hitchhiking, that is, staying at the local driver's house and paying the fare and accommodation. I've never tried it.
