Guilin is a very beautiful place, and Guilin has many beautiful scenery, such as the Li River, Xingping Ancient Town, Laozhai Mountain, and East-West Alley. The Sun and Moon Tower, etc., these places can be said to be very classic scenic spots. You must visit these places when you go to Guilin. Preparation before travel

Cash: You really don’t need to bring too much, many places support WeChat and Alipay (really convenient now!)

Weather: I have been paying attention to the weather recently, and After consulting with many netizens, they found that the weather was unpredictable for two consecutive weeks, and they were also affected by the unpredictable weather. Sometimes it was cloudy, sometimes rainy, and sometimes exposed to the sun, so just in case, rain gear and sun protection were indispensable.

Food: There is a lot to eat in Xingping + West Street. Don’t worry (in addition to local famous dishes, there are also many Western food). Guilin feels that there will be less choices (but there are some time-honored restaurants). It is best to go to Meituan. Group purchase of dishes and find restaurants of your own taste~

Accommodation: Ever since I went to Yunnan to book an inn and found that it was cheaper there than Ctrip, I would compare the prices before booking (I found it was still cheaper there) Xingping I recommend Thirty Shades of Grey. West Street has a lot of traffic and there are many choices for inns. Be prepared that the inns and rooms are small. Banshan Garden is still okay. When I was looking for Guilin inns and hotels, I saw many pictures that were very good. The results were a bit I was shocked by the real pictures in the comments, all kinds of bed sheets...insects. If it weren't for Qingyou, I would definitely choose the ones with 35, which should be ok for hygiene issues

Transportation: Didi is very convenient (it is said that taxis are Many are not metered) Xingping + West Street buses are RMB 1, Guilin urban buses are RMB 2, motorcycles are the main ones and few *** enjoy bicycles

Scenic spot tickets: There are many discount tickets online, you can If you book in advance, you can book on the same day, just read the instructions carefully~

Equipment: mobile phone + SONY digital + SONY micro single + tripod Xingping Ancient Town

Compared with the bustling West Street, Xingping is more quaint and slow, and I personally like it better. It’s very comfortable and leisurely. I sat in the shop and had a drink in the afternoon. Wherever you go near West Street, there are people following you one after another. Should you go rafting? Take a boat? Buy tickets? Accommodation?

The locals said that Yangshuo had completed the sewage treatment before, and now it is Xingping’s turn. Due to renovations, a large area at the entrance to the bus station was lifted up, so you had to take a detour if you were dragging your luggage. The inn we booked was originally 150m straight from the bus station, but we had to drag our suitcases along the cobblestone road of the old street and go around in a circle to get to the inn. When we asked for directions, we discovered that our inn was so famous, no matter men, women, old or young< /p>

Everyone knows where they are as soon as they tell their names.

Steamed hairy bone fish 60

The special eggplant here is 30, this is delicious, there are surprises in Laozhaishan

The danger is also five stars. During the climb, I found that there were more Europeans than Asians, and the climbing speed was also extraordinary. There is China Post on a small road from the inn. Go to the right and you will see the orange ancient town theme hotel. Looking up again, we will see the Laozhai Mountain we are waiting to climb. The location of the small pavilion is the Youhao Pavilion. Laozhai Mountain is actually not high, but the mountain road is difficult to walk. In addition, we don’t usually do much mountain climbing, so athletes can reach the top in half an hour.

It is said that Laozhai Mountain was built by a Japanese who moved bricks and mud with the locals when he came to travel. Therefore, the mountain only has a few steps at the beginning, and then there are more steps. It was just stones, and there were no handrails or railings. There was a dangerous place. I used an iron ladder stuck between two trees to help me. I built a friendship pavilion at the top. Later, the Japanese married a local girl and returned to Japan.

If there are mosquitoes and centipedes, it’s better to wear longer pants

The sunset here is around 6-7 o’clock. We planned to go down the mountain before watching the whole sunset because it was so dark. It got dark fast, so I started going down the mountain at 6:30, but I had to turn on the flashlight halfway down the mountain and couldn't see the road clearly. On the way down, I actually saw a girl carrying a bag of bread up the mountain. The sun must have said goodbye< /p>

The scenery on the mountain is really beautiful! But! The danger still exists, so going up is really no joke. You must be careful and don’t take it lightly, especially with children or older people.

Xingping Inn

Thirty Shades of Gray Youth Hostel

Adhering to the concept of gray, all the inns are mainly gray, from the stairs to the walls to the garbage bags

After booking the room in advance, the inn’s route guide will be sent to you. You can also join a group. Friends who have been here before will share a lot of advice and discuss other travel strategies. The boss lady is very nice and the other guys are also very enthusiastic and give introductions. It’s fun and delicious, very clean, and has great atmosphere. We will also organize sunrise and sunset in Laozhai Mountain

For breakfast, we went to the Shanwaishan Rice Noodle Shop recommended by the proprietress and friends in the group

< p>Road construction...but because we have no luggage, this road is the fastest recently

Don't be scared by the appearance, it is really delicious!!! I also ate other food later in the trip I have always felt that the rice noodles are not as delicious as the ones here

Remember to ask for thirty shades of gray or two taels, so it will be RMB5 for a bowl, otherwise it will be RMB10 on the price list

Whether it is soup base, rice noodles, meat, pickled beans, or fried soybeans, they are all delicious. Lijiang River

I did not book bamboo rafting in advance for this trip because I heard that the weather was bad and there were heavy rains and many places were flooded. So we decided to check the situation before deciding whether to raft. When we arrived, the locals told us that it was the dry season, the water level had dropped a lot, and even the reflection was not very clear, and the weather was not very good. In the end, we planned to go nearby Let's take a walk slowly

When you come out of the old street, you can see a bridge in the distance. Go to the left to see the Lijiang Pier. Walking towards the bridge is the RMB 20 viewing platform

< p>The water in the Lijiang River is really clear, and completing the sewage treatment as soon as possible will be beneficial to the lives of future generations of residents

Later, a local said that she knew a Cantonese who did not eat barbecue in Guangdong before. I'm afraid of getting angry. Ever since I came to work in Guilin, I haven't had a sore throat when I went to eat with my colleagues every week. It's because we drank the local water, so the water in our Li River is really good. Xingping-Yangshuo West Street

There is a shuttle bus from Xingping Bus Station to Yangshuo Bus Station for RMB 27/person. In the morning, the boss lady suggested that we can take Didi directly here, because it is cheaper for the three of us than taking the bus, and we still need to take a taxi to Yangshuo Bus Station. Didi went to the inn or West Street, and when we had lunch, I just hitchhiked and made an appointment

Chunji Roast Goose

1999-2017 is the 18th anniversary this year

< p>Internet-famous mango egg, the mango juice inside will spurt out after you bite it, just like the feeling of popping a raw egg yolk, RMB4/piece

As for the signature, you have to try the roast goose. Although the cooking method is different from ours, in Lao Guang's heart, roast goose is still as delicious as ours. Suddenly he thought of Shenjing roast goose. However, the roasted goose skin here is very crispy, RMB58/case

West Street is also crowded on weekday evenings! No wonder the inn proprietress said that there are not many people on West Street, only more people

This location is full of restaurants at first glance. Various chefs and sisters prepare beer fish, Guilin rice noodles, and if you want to eat Hunan cuisine, there is the People's Commune. I like that fish lover. I finally understand why there are so many Western restaurants in Xingping and West Street! Because there are so many foreigners and Europeans. I saw many couples traveling with big backpacks on their backs. West Street at night is so crowded. From this point of view, Yangshuo Inn is comparable to Beijing Road

Banshan Garden Inn

It is located diagonally across the West Street, 50m from the alley next to the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China

The bars on West Street are lively and complicated at night. It is a place away from the hustle and bustle of West Street, and it is also convenient. It can be reached in 3 minutes on foot

Banshan Inn, of course you have to climb the stairs to the East and West Alley

East and West Alley

East-West Alley is adjacent to Jingjiang Prince’s Mansion. It is a comprehensive commercial district integrating tourism, folk customs, culture, shopping, catering, leisure and entertainment. East and West Alley is the only historical alley left over from the Ming and Qing Dynasties in Guilin. It has a pleasant spatial scale and is a viewing area of ??Guilin's ancient historical features. It includes Zhengyang Street East Alley, Jiangnan Alley, Lanjing Alley and other traditional Guilin streets. .

The decoration style inside is a bit like our Lingnan architectural style in Guangzhou Sun and Moon Twin Towers Park

Sun and Moon Twin Towers Park
