If you choose to take a tourist boat from Guilin to Yangshuo, you need to book a ticket one day in advance. You can ask the hotel where you stayed the first day to make a reservation for you, and the fare will be unified (it seems to be 280 yuan/person), and the time will be about 4 hours. D3 rafting in Yulong River, watching "Impression of Sister Liu" at night, staying in Yangshuo, the whole drifting route of Yulong River: Fuli Bridge = = Jinlong Bridge-Qifengshan-Tianzuozhai-Yulong Bridge-Shilong Mountain Villa-Baxianyan-Double Lion Competition-Lovers Mountain (Chuanyan)-Guiyi Ancient City (Old County)-Xiangui Bridge. Raft rafting: It is recommended that those who are in a hurry but don't give up the charm of the Lijiang River choose this tour, ① upstream Fuli Bridge (Jinlong Bridge)-Old County, ② Chaoyang Wharf-Gongnong Bridge. Fuli Bridge is one of the oldest stone bridges in use in Guangxi, and it is the most round single-arch stone bridge. There used to be an old tree at both ends of the bridge, but unfortunately one was blown off by the wind in 2005, and now only one is left. Drifting from Fuli Bridge, each raft has two rafters, limited to two people, passing through nearly 30 dams along the way, and the journey takes about 6 hours, with an hour's rest in the old county to eat farmhouse lunch (the price is similar to that of restaurants in Yangshuo county, but there are more people to eat and the serving speed is slower). The ticket price of the whole rafting is 240 yuan/Raft, and the booking price of Chenfeng Inn is 170 yuan/Raft. We found Chen Jian 13877375697, who belongs to Yulonghe Fuli Bridge Raft Rafting Co., Ltd., and gave us the price of 150 yuan/Raft. If the rafting starts from Yulong Bridge, it will be/. Yulong River has the reputation of "Little Lijiang River". Compared with Lijiang River, Yulong River is more soothing and elegant, more like a picture scroll, and makes people want to melt into it. Personally, I think the scenery in the upper reaches of Yulong River (from Fuli Bridge to the old county) is the most beautiful and quiet, and there are few bamboo rafts on the river. After passing the old county, bamboo rafts on the river began to increase, and most of them were tourists of tour groups, which broke the tranquility of Yulong River. Therefore, personally, even if it is a half-way drift, it is best to choose Fuli Bridge (or Jinlong Bridge)-the section of the old county, instead of going to Chaoyang Wharf. From Yangshuo, you can take the Jinbao shuttle bus (20 minutes/trip, 3.5 yuan/person) to Baisha yu long Village (get off at Jinlong Bridge), and it takes about 25 minutes to get there (the shuttle bus from Yangshuo to Jinbao has two lines, and the northern line takes Baisha to Jinbao, and only the shuttle bus on this line can get there). The Raft Union will wait for you at Jinlong Bridge, and then take you to Fuli Bridge by motorcycle to start drifting. Of course, you can also choose bicycles as a means of transportation (all hotels in Yangshuo rent bicycles, such as ordinary cars in 5 yuan/day, mountain bikes in 8 yuan/day, and ordinary cars are fine). If you follow the bus route, you can get there in about 70 minutes by bike, but if you want to experience the real rural scenery and have enough energy, then take the country road. On that day, my husband and I rode two bicycles separately (the country road is rugged, so don't rent a tandem bicycle for romance), and it took nearly two hours to reach Jinlong Bridge from Yangshuo along the Yulong River, which is equivalent to riding half the distance along the hiking route. Although it is hard, land and water are not delayed, and the fun is only realized by yourself. When you start drifting, you can put your bike on the bamboo raft or stay at Jinlong Bridge. A truck carrying bamboo rafts will take your bike to Gongnong Bridge. When you finish drifting, your bike will be waiting for you on the shore. I heard that the big banyan tree and the Moon Mountain scenic spots are not interesting (the back of the Moon Mountain can be seen when drifting, which is enough), so there is no waste of money. Originally, I planned to go to Shuiyan to take a mud bath, but considering that I had to wear a swimsuit when I went in, and the water and mud in April were still chilly, I had to give it up. Friends who went in summer might as well try it. I heard it was very good. However, Shuiyan scenic spot is not officially developed by the government, and there are no safety measures in it, so it is not very suitable for the elderly and children. The booking ticket for Chenfeng Inn is 40 yuan/person, or you can make a counter-offer yourself. Since the whole day was spent drifting (in fact, it was half a day, and we got on the bamboo raft at 1 1 o'clock), we asked the rafters to slow down and enjoy the fairyland in Traveling in a pictorial world, and it was already past 5 o'clock when we arrived at the Gongnong Bridge and landed. I took my bike and rode back to Yangshuo in about half an hour. In the evening, I watched "Impression of Third Sister Liu". I booked a ticket at Chenfeng Inn, area C, 130 yuan/person, which is cheaper than the face price (it seems to be 188/ person), and there is a car delivery service. "Impression of Third Sister Liu" is performed twice a night, the first at around 7:40 and the second at around 9:00, which lasts about an hour. When the show is over, there is a battery car outside to the intersection of Xijie and 2 yuan, but there are few cars, so it is recommended that friends who go by themselves come out when the show is about to end. Of course, there will be other cars, but the cost will be higher. If there are many people going, you can charter a car, and the cost is almost the same. Although the ticket price is high, it is still worth seeing, which is a different visual experience. Of course, the tour of Yulong River can also be carried out alternately by rafting and hiking, or by cycling along country roads. The route is: Yangshuo-Jima-Chaoyang Village-Xiatang Village-Xinglong Village-Old County-Xiangui Bridge-yu long Village (Yulong Bridge)-Jinlong Bridge-Fuli Bridge-Baisha-Yangshuo. It takes about 3-4 hours to ride and 5 hours to walk. It is suggested to choose a section for rafting. D4 Guandazhai Terrace, Suyangshuo Longji Terrace includes two parts, one is Ping 'an Zhuang Terrace, namely Ping 'an Village, and the other is Jinkeng Hongyao Terrace, namely Dazhai. Ping 'an Village is an old scenic spot, while Dazhai Village is a new scenic spot. In fact, their fares are the same: 50 yuan/person. Personally, I think Dazhai is more interesting, with fewer people going, but the terraces are closer, bigger and more spectacular. The conditions in Ping 'an Village are better, and the mountains don't have to climb too high, so Dazhai is different and needs some physical strength. You can only go to one terrace in a day. There are three scenic spots in Dazhai: 1, which is relatively high and can be seen at sunrise or sunset; No.2 scenic spot, relatively close, suitable for watching the sunrise; No.3 scenic spot ("Mao Gai"), the farthest, highest and most spectacular scenic spot, many photos are of this place. It is recommended to visit observation deck No.3 and 1, and the last bus must leave at 4: 30 pm in the scenic spot. It takes about 1 hour from the scenic spot to Longsheng county, about 2 hours from Longsheng to Guilin, and about 1 hour from Guilin to Yangshuo. If you want to see all three scenic spots or watch the sunset or sunrise, you have to stay in the stockade for one night. I heard that Panorama Building is not bad, 0773-7585688, although it is a little high (at the top of Dazhai), but because it is the No.1 scenic spot, you can watch the sunrise in your room when you get up the next day, and the route is reasonable. On the way up the mountain, you pass No.2, live at 1, and pass No.3 when you go down the mountain. PS: Longji Terrace has three entrances, each of which can be reached by a car from Guilin. The first entrance: peace village 1, Guilin take the express train (fare 15 yuan, time: 8: 00; 9： 10； 1 1：00； 12：00； 13： 10； 14：00； 15： 10 ； 16： 10； l7： 10； 18: 20)130 minutes to Longsheng county, and then transfer to Longsheng-Ping 'an parking lot (Longji) shuttle bus (fare: 6.5 yuan, time: 7: 30; 9：00； 1 1：00； 13：00； 15：00； 17: 00) to peace village parking lot (about 60 minutes), and then walk for 20 minutes to Ping 'an Village. When you return, you can take the bus to Longsheng in Ping 'an parking lot (time: 7: 20; 8：50； 13：00； 15：00； 16: 30) 2. Guilin takes the local train (fare 1 1 yuan, time 6:10-17: 00, every 20 minutes) to Heping Township (Longji intersection, 2 hours and 30 minutes) 3. If you miss the bus to Longji, peace village, you can take the bus from Longsheng to Shuanghekou at Longji intersection, sit in Huangluo, and then walk 1 hour to peace village. The second entrance: Longji Village 1. Walk from the vicinity of the seven-star moon-watching scenic spot in Ping 'an Village for about 40 minutes. The terraced fields are spectacular. If you don't go to Dazhai, you can choose to go to this stockade. 2. Climb the terraced fields from the highway, or walk for a few minutes in the direction of Longsheng County at Longji intersection. There is a path under repair. You can walk along this path to Longji Village, which takes about 3 hours, but you can save tickets for 30 yuan. It is worthwhile to walk more! The third entrance: Dazhai 1, Guilin-Longsheng Express, just like the one to peace village, transfer to Longsheng-Dahushan-Dazhai at Longsheng Bus Station (fare: 6.5 yuan, 8 yuan, time: 7: 00-1 7: 00, every 20 minutes, running/KLOC-0. 2, Guilin slow train to Heping Village, transfer to Dazhai peacefully, as above. Personally, I feel that the traffic to the terraced fields is not very convenient, and I need to transfer a lot of cars on the way, so I joined a tour group through Chenfeng Inn,1/0 yuan/person (including tickets). I started from Yangshuo at 7:30 in the morning and stopped in Guilin on the way. I have booked tourists to get on the bus and arrive at Dazhai at about 12, and at 3:30 in the afternoon. Although we can get off at Guilin halfway, we still chose to stay in Yangshuo. After all, the guest price in Guilin is three times as high as that in Yangshuo. The tour guide will take the tourists to the No.2 scenic spot, and organize a unified meal and watch the Yao long hair performance on the way, but these are all at their own expense. After arriving in Dazhai, we left the tour guide and hired a local Yao woman to lead us. The fee was 10 yuan, and we went to the No.3 scenic spot. It takes about 70 minutes to climb the No.3 viewing platform from Zhaikou, and the terrain is steep. It takes a certain amount of physical strength to go along a narrow bluestone road, which is not suitable for the elderly, children and the infirm. There are few tourists visiting the No.3 scenic spot. We only met two people along the way, but No.3 scenic spot is the highest and most spectacular. Standing on the top of the mountain, you will feel that all the hard work is worth it. I had a rest at the top of the mountain for about an hour, and I came down the mountain in no hurry, just to meet the other people of the tour group who watched the No.2 scenic spot. Most of their time was taken by the tour guide to watch the performance, but the time for really watching the terraces was very small. The best time to visit Longji is that the terraced fields begin to drain water after April 15th of the lunar calendar every year, which lasts for half a month. The terraced fields after transplanting and draining water are very magnificent under the sunshine. There is also half a month after the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. The snow scene in Longji is also great, but the time of snow is uncertain, depending on luck. In addition, the Yao women in the scenic spot will sell you so-called "handicrafts", so be careful. ^_^ D5 The main part of the trip back to Shanghai has ended, so you can have a good sleep. After getting up for dinner, you can take a bus back to Guilin from Yangshuo bus station and visit Elephant Trunk Mountain and Fubo Mountain, which can be regarded as having been to Guilin. You can bring some local products. There are no large supermarkets in Guilin, but small local specialty wholesale departments. Don't forget to shop around and bargain hard. Be careful if you bring Sanhua wine back, because then your luggage will have to be checked. You can buy it after passing the security check at the airport. In the evening, you can wait for the airport bus at the Civil Aviation Building on Shanghai Road to go to the airport, 20 yuan/person, and the latest bus leaves at 8:00 sharp.

About Guilin There are two train passenger stations in Guilin: Guilin North Railway Station (commonly known as North Railway Station and Starting Station) and Guilin South Railway Station (commonly known as guilin railway station or South Railway Station). South Railway Station is the main passenger station at present, and the traffic is very convenient in the urban area (Zhongshan South Road). The North Station is in the north of Guilin. According to the local people, it should be considered a suburb. The traffic is not very convenient. Only 18 and 99 can get to the urban area. If the train stops at North Railway Station and South Railway Station at the same time, you'd better get off at South Railway Station. There are few trains from Guilin, and most of them stop in the middle. Sleepers in the north direction are generally difficult to buy at the window. It is very convenient to go to Liuzhou, Nanning and other cities in the region. There are three bus stations in Guilin: Bus Terminal (Zhongshan South Road, the most important passenger station), Chengnan Bus Station and Beimen Bus Station (Zhongshan North Road, mainly heading for Xing 'an and Lingchuan). All the buses in the area and most of the suburban buses leave from the bus terminal, and it takes about 10 minutes to go north from the South Railway Station (turn left at the station). All the scenic spots in Guilin can be reached by buses, and the buses in Guilin are basically sold without tickets. Get on the bus 1 yuan, and there is no change. The bus to the suburbs is 1.5 yuan, such as No.3, and the air-conditioned car is 2 yuan, such as No.99. Please ask the driver or look at the bus stop sign before boarding. It is possible that only Guilin in China has free buses (trains starting at 8: 00-17: 00 and 5), and the waiting time of free buses is longer than that of ordinary buses, and you should pay attention to your personal finances when you take them, so thieves also take them for free. ◇ The following are free buses: 5 1 Road-starting from the East Ring Bus Yard, passing through the Flower and Bird Market, Arctic Square, Fengbei Road and Central Square to guilin railway station. No.52 —— Depart from the East Ring Yard, pass Sanlidian Square, Long Yin Road and reach Qixing Park. Route 53-Depart from the bus company and go to the Arctic Square via Huancheng West Road. No.54 —— Depart from Guilin South Station, pass through Shanghai Road, Anxin Community, Chuanshan Park, Sanlidian Square and go to High-tech Zone. Route 55 —— Depart from Pingshan via South Ring Road and Jingpingshan Bridge to the vehicle management office. Route 56 —— From Pingshan to Pingshan via Nanxi Park, Shanghai Overpass, Xiangjiang Hotel, Jiangjun Road and Bazhong Road. No.57 —— Depart from Xifeng Road and go through Education College, Children's Palace, Ximen Bridge, Nanmen Bridge, Xiangshan Park, jiefang bridge, Cross Street and Art Museum to Xifeng Road. Route 58 —— From Nanxishan Park, it passes Xiangshan Park, Qixing Park, Folk Customs Park, Fubo Mountain Park, Diecai Mountain Park and Yushan Park to Ludi Park. Most taxi models in Guilin are Jetta and Santana cars, and the starting price is 7 yuan/3km. Guilin is a small city, so it's much more convenient to buy a traffic map of Guilin when you leave the airport or railway station. Food and Accommodation in Yangshuo Yangshuo is a small county town. The main roads are Pantao Road, Diecui Road and West Street, which can be seen almost by bike in 20 minutes. The most famous place in the county is West Street. But personally, I think West Street is the combination of Shanghai's Chenghuang Temple and Xintiandi, so there is no special feeling. However, there are several shops in West Street that are recommended: Traveler: The most famous ones here are "apple crackers" (￥8/ small, ￥ 12/ large) and "potato pie" (￥28/ small, ￥32/ large), both of which are available in large and small portions. No restaurant: The features are "no special breakfast" (RMB 20/serving) and "American breakfast" (RMB 22/serving). American breakfast includes a glass of milk/juice, a bowl of salad, a bowl of mousse, potato cakes, two pieces of lunch meat, two eggs, four pieces of toast and a piece of bacon. Red Star Express PIZZA: This store has a lot of people and a good reputation. Many foreigners follow the map and come here to have an addiction. Mingyuan Coffee: It is said that this is the only coffee shop with the best quality in West Street. Past events in West Street: There are 4 or 5 CD files in West Street, which basically sell European and American pop music. This is a relatively good one with a relatively complete variety. You don't have to buy it, you can tear it down one by one and listen to it, and the owner is fine with it. One 20 yuan and three 50 yuan, no discount. But pay attention to see if the tracks printed on the CD package are consistent with those on the CD. Yangshuo specialty: beer fish: beer fish is actually a way to cook fish, not a fish. Generally, there are carp (18 yuan/kg), hairbone fish (40 yuan/kg) and swordfish (80 yuan/kg) for making beer fish. Generally, a fish weighs two kg. In fact, it is mainly to taste the taste of beer fish. As for the types of fish, there is no need to be demanding. The water in Lijiang River is good, so the fish produced are all fresh and tender. Personally, I have tasted beer fish made of carp and hairy bone fish, and I feel good. Yangshuo is most famous for its "Xie Dajie Beer Fish" on Diecui Road, as well as its "Big Sister" and other signs. Personally, I tried "Sister Xie", "Ping Li" and "Sister Chen" and found that the tastes were similar and the prices were similar. However, if you take the business card of "Sister Chen" stamped with the seal of the inn to eat at Chenfeng Inn, you can get a 20% discount, which is quite attractive. Stir-fried snail: snail is a very big kind, very delicious, not like the black and sticky kind sold in Shanghai Chenghuang Temple at all, and it is worth trying. Stuffed snail: The method of picking out the snail meat, chopping it, mixing it with fresh meat and spices and stuffing it back is not bad, but it feels a little greasy after eating too much. In addition, there are various "brews" such as grapefruit brews and tofu brews. Vegetables: The vegetables in Yangshuo are delicious. After getting used to the greenhouse vegetables in Shanghai, I feel that the vegetables there are particularly fragrant. Midnight snack: Opposite the farmer's market, it opens at around 7: 00 every night. There are more than 10 food stalls, featuring: a stew for several yuan or a big fish head pot. The biggest advantage is that you can get what you want, such as stewed chicken legs, sorghum dumplings, beef wonton and big fish head hot pot. 3 yuan stewed chicken leg, 4 yuan stewed pig brain, 6 yuan stewed pigeon and 1 yuan glutinous rice balls are all good and worth trying every night. Accommodation in Yangshuo: There are many inns in Yangshuo. You can choose to stay in West Street, but the disadvantage is that it is noisy and may affect your rest at night. Personally, I still recommend outside West Street, which is quiet and not far from West Street. This time I stayed at Chenfeng Inn, 0773-88 15959, which was run by several college students. It was not bad, clean and tidy. Besides, I heard that the lazy hall is also good. If you want to stay in West Street, Kyle Polo Hotel, 0773-8827544; No.8 West Street Hotel: 0773-8820 1 18. For more hotels, please check the website/glhotel.htm. Other tips suggest that the weather in Guilin and Yangshuo is rather stuffy, but if it is sunny, the sun will be very strong, so you should pay attention to sun protection. April is the rainy season every year, and the average number of rainy days is 19 days. It didn't rain in several scenic spots we visited this time. God really gave us enough face. There are mosquitoes in Yangshuo in April. Remember to bring toilet water. Many hotels in Yangshuo don't provide disposable toiletries, so you should ask in advance. If you don't provide them, you should bring your own. Yangshuo's folk customs are relatively simple, and most people are more realistic. If you don't know the way during the tour, you can ask the local people on the roadside, and you will usually get a warm reply. If you don't feel at ease, ask an older person, and you won't lie. My husband and I rode from Yangshuo to Jinlong Bridge by country road. We asked all the way, but we didn't take the wrong road. If you want to buy local products, it is better to go to Guilin and the price will be more reasonable. Besides traditional Sanhua wine, Chili sauce and bean curd, there are also Siraitia grosvenorii, osmanthus tea, ant powder and so on, so you can take some back. The tableware disinfection work in Guilin and Yangshuo is particularly good. They are all packaged independently after unified disinfection in the disinfection center. This is the most reassuring tableware I have ever seen outside.
