It's more convenient to sit at Guilin Railway Station on Zhongshan South Road in Xiangshan District.
Guilin is one of the earliest tourist cities in China. There are three classic scenic spots and two caves in the urban area, namely Elephant Trunk Mountain, Fubo Mountain, Diecai Mountain, reed flute cave and Qixingyan. The distribution of other tourist attractions is centered in Guilin and radiates to the surrounding counties such as Yangshuo, Longsheng and Xing 'an. The transportation to these county attractions in the urban area is very convenient. The shuttle bus to Yangshuo and Longsheng takes about 15 minutes to go to Xing 'an. There are also many accommodations and restaurants in urban areas and scenic spots, which are very suitable for self-help tours. But self-help tours should do their homework in advance.
it will be cheaper to buy tickets for all kinds of accommodation, catering and scenic spots online, such as Ctrip, qunar, xinxin, glutinous rice, meituan and wowotuan. I suggest you buy hotel accommodation and even catering online, but it will be troublesome and time-consuming to collect tickets for group purchase, so you should think it over in advance. If you are traveling by yourself, it is recommended to live in Xiangshan District, where there are bus terminals, South Railway Station, namely guilin railway station and Qintan bus stations, and it is also close to Liangjiang Airport. Take a bus to Yangshuo, Qintan Bus Terminal to Longsheng, and Guibei Bus Terminal to Xing 'an Lemandi. There are buses No.1, No.99 and No.1 from Xiangshan District to Guibei Bus Terminal and North Railway Station, and bus No.22b to West Railway Station, which is more convenient. Reminder: The most affordable dining in Xiangshan District is in Kale Food Plaza on the fourth floor of Lianda Square near Xiangjiang Hotel. There are many varieties of colors and are cheap. The dining in Red Street and Xicheng Road is also more practical. Don't go to the area of South Ring Road, that is, the section from Xiangshan Park, crossing Wenchang Bridge to Nanmen Bridge, that is, the traffic lights of Wenchang Bridge to Zhongshan Hotel along the street. The so-called specialty restaurants and local products shops along the road are all specialized in extorting foreign guests.
pay attention: when you are away from home, don't expose your money for safety. In Yangshuo, there are bad guys robbing riding guests. There are thieves on buses, bus stations, railway stations, pedestrian streets and even streets in Guilin, both men and women, and the bus stations and railway stations with many foreign guests are the most. Don't buy things or stay in shops near railway stations and bus stations, where there are many thieves, shopkeepers and clerks are also very dark, and most of them will bully foreign guests, and the most despicable thing is to play the trick of missing money. Also, don't expect to have an affair in Guilin. There are many clients in Guilin. They will take the initiative to talk to you and ask you to go to the movies, sing, have coffee and drink, just to kill you. The drivers of tricycles soliciting customers in hotels in Guilin are basically entrusted. Take a taxi to prevent illegal cars. Even if it is a regular taxi, don't believe all the drivers' words. Don't rule out the possibility that he is also entrusted. Never go to KTV, bars, travel agencies, restaurants and so on recommended by him. If you encounter blackmailing by bullies, the best policy is to find a way to get away by yourself. If you can't get away, call 11. Don't be surprised if the police don't call the police. The above ugly phenomena have been repeatedly banned by the relevant government departments, and only they can protect themselves.
About the Lijiang River. There are two ways: one is to travel by Lijiang River, and the lowest ticket is 19 yuan-21 yuan, including Chinese food, which is divided into off-season and peak season tickets. At 9: -9: 3 in the morning, I boarded the boat from Mopanshan Wharf, went down the river, traveled for about 4-5 hours, and arrived at Yangshuo County at about 2: 3 in the afternoon. This is operated by Guilin Tourism Co., Ltd., which is very formal.
The other is to take a bamboo raft and swim the Lijiang River with an electric motor. The fare is about 12-15 yuan, and most of them go ashore for shopping and lunch at their own expense. Generally, you can swim across the river by bamboo raft from Di Yang, or from Guanyan to Xingping, and then go to Yangshuo by bus. Remember: if you travel freely by bamboo raft in Di Yang, you must never take the bamboo raft that follows you to sell bamboo raft tickets. You should go to the ticket office of Lijiang Scenic Area in Di Yang to buy tickets and swim across the river by bamboo raft to avoid being slaughtered.
suggestion: it is best to travel the Lijiang river by boat during the tourist season of may day and November. Because, taking a bamboo raft to swim the river is to appreciate the clean and leisurely beauty of the Lijiang River and the beauty of its reflection, but there are many tourists and ships in the peak season, and where the ships pass closely, they simply can't appreciate the reflection and feel clean and leisurely. If you visit the Lijiang River on rainy days in winter, it is also recommended to swim by boat. It is too cold to take a bamboo raft.
For the specific tour, you can go to the "Lijiang Tour" on the official website of Lijiang Scenic Area in Guilin, China.
