Preparation work/goods
1. The high-speed rail ticket is in the peak season of summer vacation, and the travel demand is large. It's best to book one week in advance.
2.
There are many hotels in downtown Guilin and Yangshuo. In fact, even if you don't book in advance, as long as you have money, you won't have no place to live. However, it is best to book on the APP in advance. There is usually a discount for booking in advance. There are many hotels to choose from, and you can book a better hotel.
3. Umbrella, a must-have, can shelter from rain and sun. It happened that it didn't rain much when I was traveling, but! ! The sun is too fierce. It hurts people's skin.
4. Band-Aids, Cao Qing Ointment (anti-mosquito) and Shuang Ren Fei.
5. Charging treasure, charging head, charging cable
6. There are dirty clothes in the plastic bag. There are clothes hangers in the hotel, you can wash your clothes and dry them yourself, but sometimes you don't want to move after a day's play.
7.
Slippers, disposable raincoats, and waterproof bags for mobile phones need to be launched. There is a place to launch in Xiangshan Scenic Area (nothing special can be ignored). The waters of Gudong Waterfall are low, so climbing the waterfall requires disposable raincoats, waterproof bags for mobile phones and non-slip slippers. There are sets for rent in the scenic spot (raincoat, waterproof bag, shoe bag, sandals), one set 15 yuan. (I didn't buy tickets for scenic spots in advance, but I don't need them. I can buy one day in advance at most. If I can't return it early, it will affect the arrangement. If you buy tickets for two rivers and four lakes on the same day, you may not have the flight time you want. )
Detailed itinerary+suggestions
Day 1: Xiangshan Scenic Area, Zhengyang Pedestrian Street and Shuiyuege Boutique Hotel.
Take the high-speed train to [Guangzhou South Station] early in the morning, get on the high-speed train at 9 o'clock, and get up at noon 12 to [Guilin North Station]. After getting off the high-speed train and leaving high-speed railway station, many tour guides are waiting for passengers, and many people are leaving high-speed railway station, ready to take a bus to the hotel (the hotel is near Xiangshan Scenic Area).
At this moment, an elder sister came over and asked us if we were going to Elephant Trunk Hill, saying that she was going back there, too. She asked us if we wanted to take a bus, so she accepted us 10 yuan, because it was a scenic spot, and it was usually asked by strangers. With such a good thing, we will definitely be vigilant.
So I asked if I was sure to take it to Elephant Trunk Hill. Asked too many questions and added us 2 yuan. After confirming that it was four people, and the price was *** 12 yuan, I followed her in her car, took us to the hotel, added her WeChat, and said that I could hire a car to find her, so I met a noble person when I went out.
I left my things at the hotel, and it was past 1, so I set off for dinner. There is a famous Ji Chun Roasted Goose nearby, which is not expensive, but it won't be very cheap, with a per capita income of 60~80. After dinner, 10 walked for a few minutes to [Xiangshan Scenic Area], spent 5 1 yuan on the app to buy a ticket and went in.
The most symbolic of Xiangshan Scenic Area is Elephant Trunk Mountain, which can be seen on the Internet. Others feel nothing special, just climbing the mountain to see the scenery, but if you want to see the complete and beautiful landmark of Elephant Trunk Mountain, you need to enter the scenic spot, and you can only see it vaguely outside.
Elephant trunk mountain needs to walk around the side of the scenic spot to find it. After going up the mountain, you can't find what you can't see. As the saying goes, you don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but you are only on this mountain. There are also some places on the side where you can go into the water. If you are brave enough, you can cross the water and walk to the middle reef. Many people go there on foot.
After visiting Xiangshan scenic spot, it is about 6 o'clock, the scenic spot is open until 6: 30, and the clearance begins at 7 o'clock. I heard from the scenic spot manager that the evening performance starts at 7: 30. Out of the garden, walk to Zhengyang Pedestrian Street, which is an ordinary commercial street. I don't know why it's so famous. I found a noodle restaurant, ate noodles, strolled around for a while, bought some fruit and went back to the hotel.
Xiangshan scenic spot, Xiangshan high view
Precautions:
1, go to the scenic spot to buy tickets, don't look for some small local travel agencies, look for big ones, and don't look for those who buy tickets on the roadside, you may be cheated.
2. Pay attention to the small restaurants on the street of Ji Chun Roast Goose, some of which have low cost performance. The above two precautions were said by our elder sister.
Personal advice:
If you want to go to Xiangshan Scenic Area first, you can take Guilin Railway Station, which is close to Xiangshan, but there are fewer flights. There are many flights in Guilin North Station, but it is far from the scenic spot, so you need to take a bus or taxi. The distance between the scenic spots in downtown Guilin is not far, and Xiangshan and the two rivers and four lakes are separated by a road.
The next day: Gudong Waterfall
Get up at 8 o'clock the next day and go out at 9 o'clock. I found a rice noodle shop near the hotel and had an authentic Guilin rice noodle. The price is not expensive, a bowl of Guilin rice noodles 10 yuan. I found that I ate it for nothing. The way to eat here is completely different. After breakfast, we contacted the driver elder sister who took us on the first day and asked if there was a bus to Gudong Waterfall. The two sides agreed to charter a bus to and from 190 yuan, and arranged for the driver to meet us at the hotel. Gudong Waterfall didn't find a bus on the map, because the four of us originally planned to go directly, and we were newcomers to the driver's elder sister, so we chose to charter a car. After waiting for 10 minutes, the master picked us up at the hotel and set off.
The driver, a local, asked about our itinerary. After knowing that we were going to Yangshuo tomorrow and taking a bamboo raft by the way, he recommended it to us and asked if we should sign up for a tour group, which was very favorable. The general itinerary is to take a bamboo raft behind the hotel in downtown Guilin, then take a cruise in Xingping ancient town, then take a bus to Yangshuo, and also send tickets to Gudong Waterfall, around 200 yuan. Because of the sudden situation, it was different from the original plan, so I didn't agree for the time being and said I would think about it first. Later, we discussed that we could sign a tour group with the driver and let the driver take us when he returned to downtown Guilin.
After a few minutes' drive, we arrived at Gudong Waterfall. The driver parked the car and took us to the ticket office. Booking tickets for Gudong Waterfall online is 4 hours in advance, even if it says that tickets will be issued immediately, it is 4 hours in advance to ask. The online price is 5 1/52, and you bought a ticket from 55 yuan on the spot. When buying tickets, the driver's eldest brother gave a piece of paper to complete the ticket collection, saying that the four of us are his and should be able to get back the commission. After entering the park, I walked a short distance. There are two ways to go: by water and by land. It takes 10 yuan to take a human bamboo raft by water. We chose the waterway and didn't feel anything special. Less than 100 meters, we got off the boat quickly. It doesn't matter whether we sit or not. There are dense trees in the park, and many places are cool and not afraid of the sun. When you get to the fork in the road, you can choose to climb the waterfall or walk down a flight of stairs. There are waterproof suits (disposable raincoats, waterproof mobile phone cases, helmets, sandals and shoes bags) for rent, 15 sets, and there are two places for rent. You can rent it when you get off the bamboo raft. There is no need to rent it in a hurry. You can also rent them at the waterfall you want to climb. We choose to climb the waterfall, which is steep, but there are artificial steps and chains to pull. It looks hard to climb, but it's actually ok. The water in the waterway is very clear and cold, and there is a place to go to the land on the way, and the land can also be launched. Stop and go straight to the top of the mountain. There is a temple on the top of the mountain. You can burn incense for free. When you buy sesame oil 10 yuan, you can get a wish card. Make a wish card in the back, you will write a blessing and tie it on the chain, but! ! One-year storage fee 30 yuan, how many years to hang, you decide for yourself, and it is not clear whether the year paid really hangs. The downhill slope is all land, and there is still a section where you can take a sling, 20 people, 10 seconds. There is a scooter below, 50/2 people, and we didn't take it. After going down the mountain and leaving the garden, I ate something, found the driver's eldest brother and began to return to downtown Guilin.
Lijiang ancient cave scenic spot, there are many antique buildings in the park, the first waterfall checkpoint, Lijiang ancient cave scenic spot, in fact, there are only 34 roads, which are difficult to climb.
Lijiang ancient cave scenic spot
There are slings and scooters down the mountain. There was only one section of the sling, and the slide car almost reached the foot of the mountain.
Back to the city, I went to the travel agency (Guilin International Travel Service) with the driver and signed up for a one-day tour of Guilin-Yangshuo. 150 yuan. Because we paid for the tickets to Gudong Waterfall, there is no need to give them away. My driver said that we could reimburse the ticket for 50 yuan and give it to 150 separately.
Night tour of two rivers and four lakes
Then I went to a Forrest Gump restaurant near the hotel for a meal. The price of this restaurant is satisfactory and the service is good. After dinner, I set out for the docks of the two rivers and four lakes. The two rivers and four lakes can be booked on the app, and you can choose the shift time. There are three docks for boarding, and our tickets were booked at Fisherman's Wharf. When you come to Guilin, most people will recommend the two rivers and four lakes to you, saying that Xiangshan and the two rivers and four lakes are the most representative here, and other scenic spots are similar. Traveling around the two rivers and four lakes at night, you can see the beautiful night scene in this area, which is unique under the illumination of lights. Because I didn't listen to the guide's explanation clearly, I didn't describe it very well, just looked at the picture.
Elephant trunk mountain, two rivers and four lakes under the light, photographed by mobile phone, the effect is average, and the two rivers and four lakes will pass through many bridges.
There is a song and dance performance somewhere at the end of the cruise ship between the two rivers and the four lakes.
Two Rivers and Four Lakes
Tickets, next to the pier is the ticket collection point.
About 1 hour, after swimming, I landed at another pier nearby and returned to the hotel, ending the day's trip.
Suggestion:
1. If there are many people going to Gudong Waterfall, it is best to take a taxi back and forth. The price is similar to Didi, and you can go to other places in one day (Yan Guan Scenic Area is near Gudong Waterfall).
2. It is best to buy a boat ticket at least one day in advance for the night tour of the two rivers and four lakes, and there will be more shifts to choose from.
Day 3: Daxu Bamboo Raft, Xingping Ancient Town, Tianchengju Garden Hotel
Because I signed up for a one-day tour to Yangshuo, I got up early that day, took my luggage, checked out, and got on the bus of the travel agency without breakfast. The bus took a ride in the city for a while, picked up the members of various hotels and set off. First go to the first sightseeing spot-[Daxu rafting (that is, lawn)], with 4 people on a bamboo raft. Here, you can see the mountains on both sides of the Lijiang River and enjoy the magnificent scenery of Guilin.
Dawei ancient town, green water and green hills.
You can see many special peaks and rock walls, Dawei ancient town.
Return to the boarding point at the finish line.
After sitting on the bamboo raft, we were sent to a shopping place selling latex products and stayed for 90 minutes, listening to the salespeople selling their latex products. After arriving here, we were taken to a place to eat (there is only one on the road). After dinner, we took the bus and drove for about 10 minutes to reach Xingping ancient town. There are many places to eat here, and they are very cheap. I suggest eating here first.
When we arrived at [Xingping Ancient Town], the tour guide asked us to look around by ourselves first, and then agreed to come back to [Xingping Wharf] for a cruise. The ancient town of Xingping appeared frequently on the Internet, which we thought was very distinctive, but after we went there, we found that it was seriously commercialized and all were modern things. We are really ashamed of the name "Ancient Town". There is a place to see ancient drama costumes in Xingping ancient town (the name has been forgotten). Because the place is small, it is easy to find it by browsing casually. If you visit for free, I feel that the whole ancient town is worth seeing here.
Because the tour guide arrived, he called to buy a boat ticket. There were many people and tour groups that day. He stood for three hours from arriving in Xingping ancient town to taking a boat. It is hot and crowded, and there is no place to sit, let alone the elderly and children. It is also a kind of suffering for adults.
The cruise takes about an hour, and there are many sights on the way. The location of 20 yuan can be seen on the cruise ship.
Xingping Ancient Town, 20 yuan, left and right.
After the boat tour, get on the bus and end the tour. The bus can choose to get off at Yangshuo or follow the bus back to Guilin. The get-off point in Yangshuo is about 1 km away from Xijie. The tour guide gave a phone number, saying that you can get a 10% discount when you go to the "chef" or "fisherman" for dinner. After actually going to the hotel, you found a card at the front desk of the hotel, which can help you get a discount.
Because [Master Gold Medal Beer Fish] is opposite the hotel, we went to the master for dinner. The master's service was average and there were many rooms in the area. Well-known beer fish on the Internet is not cheap either. Its value exceeds 100 kg. The waiter said that one weighs about 2-3 Jin. The four of us felt that we couldn't finish eating, so we didn't order.
After dinner, I went to visit [West Street] which many people said on the Internet. Nothing special, because there are many people. You can go shopping if you are free at night. I feel very tired, and I don't regret not going shopping. After the visit, I returned to the hotel [Tianchengju Garden Hotel], booked the air ticket for the next day, and went to rest.
Day 4: Shili Gallery
(butterfly spring, Julongtan, Totem Ancient Road, Lishui Gu Yue)
I went out at 9 o'clock and ate rice noodles next door to the hotel downstairs. I found that Guilin rice noodles are really eaten in the same way everywhere. After breakfast, I made a drip destination and went to the first scenic spot of Shili Gallery Park. I was told by the driver that the car could not enter the park after 8 o'clock. Then tell us that it is best to rent an electric car to use in the scenic spot, because the scenic spot is very large and it is very convenient to drive an electric car. The driver took us to a place where we rented an electric car near the entrance of the scenic spot. There are several places where you can rent electric cars. I rented two cars and told us that I could use them for one day and return them today. 50 yuan/car, deposit 400 yuan. The shopkeeper in the back told me to return the car at 8 o'clock, and I asked if it would be ok today. She said that before dark, I insisted that she didn't say it. She said that she could give some money later, because I clearly remember that she didn't say to return the car before dark, nor did she say the specific time. My bad temper immediately came up, and then she said no more money, and then she probably chickened out and asked me to pay it back later.
Butterfly spring, driving an electric car to the first scenic spot [butterfly spring].
Don't be misled by the name, there are no real butterflies in the garden. What you see is a huge butterfly squatting on the wall. The guide of the park took him into the park and entered the cave through the long stairs. The cave is cool and there are all kinds of stalactites.

I made a video of interactive dancing with Dong people.

(Julongtan)
Gathering in Longtan is mainly to see stalactites in caves. After entering the park, go ashore by boat, and then visit by land. After the tour, I will let you fish for shells for free, and I will open shells for you on the spot. There is a pearl in the shell (no pearl is found). You can just take it away if it doesn't look good. If it's beautiful, you need to pay the processing fee of 30 yuan, and then give you a 925 silver chain (according to the merchant's statement) and help you connect the pearl with the silver chain (whether it's good or not is up to the merchant to judge).
To meet at Longtan, take a boat and cross a waterway first.

(Totem Ancient Road+Lishui Ancient Yue)
These two places are in the same place, and the tickets are collected in the same place, but the tour is separate, and both places are worth visiting, but pay attention to the time in Lishui Gu Yue.
【 Totem Ancient Road 】 There are many bull's head bones, which are based on a certain tribe. I don't know which tribe or nationality it belongs to, but there are many rules. The following is what the tour guide said: this tribe values women over men, and women must walk in front and men must walk behind. If men don't walk behind, people in the tribe may come around to show that you don't respect women; If a woman comes to touch your stomach, it means that this woman has confessed to you. Don't feel lost or can't touch it back at this time. Touching back is to accept love and stay here as a son-in-law. The way to say hello in the tribe is to yawn and open your mouth, like Mount Tai in the animation? Compliments are thumbs up, just like us. After passing a certain place, there will be a competition to attract relatives, that is, two men from our tourists will be put on stage and shout longer than anyone else and loudly. If they win, they can marry the tribal girl sitting next to them and stay in the tribe. Enter the casino and pass hand in hand, dance around their totem and touch their ass to welcome them. Some places in the tribe can't be photographed because they are sacred to them. Whether the above is true or not, out of insurance and out of respect for other people's culture, remember to follow the instructions of the tour guide.

Visit the ancient totem road, where you can have tea. In order to sell, I left without listening. Go to Lishui Gu Yue next door. Lishui Gu Yue is a stage performance, about an hour. The performance is wonderful and worth seeing. Before the performance, the host said that Chen Longjie was visiting, and then he wrote a calligraphy and painting, which was given away for free, that is, 300 scrolls for writing. Later, before the performance, he said that he could go to the stage and ask Chen Longjie to write down the words he wanted, within five words. The content of Daniel lee's performance is varied, that is, the spotlight occasionally hits the glasses.
Lishui Gu Yue Theatre
Lishui Gu Yue Theatre
We visited these places in Shili Gallery and went out for dinner around 5 o'clock (we ate at [Xie Jie Beer Fish], with good service attitude and good taste). There are also several scenic spots, including hot air balloon, paragliding, zip line and helicopter ride.
Suggestion:
1. It is best to rent an electric car when visiting Shili Gallery. It's very big inside, and the distance between scenic spots is quite far. If you walk, you will be tired and waste time.
It's good to see only one cave. Unless you are a stalactite lover, you can see reed flute cave, Yan Guan, Yinziyan, Jinshuiyan, butterfly spring and Julongtan in Yangshuo, Guilin, but there are large and small ones, and Yinziyan and reed flute cave Cave are more famous. In Shili Gallery, I feel that I don't need to go to Longtan to go to butterfly spring. Butterfly spring is more cost-effective than Julongtan.
3. Big banyan tree and Moon Mountain. Many raiders say there is no need to go.
4. Lishui Ancient Yue and Totem Ancient Road are worth visiting.
5. Shili Gallery has packages to buy, and the scenic spots are free to choose.
Impression Liu Sanjie
After dinner, I went to see the famous impression of Liu Sanjie. Note that the ticket office is far away from the performance venue, about 1.5 km, and it is close to 20 minutes' walk. You don't need to look at the ticket office to buy tickets online, and you don't reserve time. You can search for the venue by searching for "Impression of Third Sister Liu" on the map. Many buildings in it are magnificent and antique. "Impression of Third Sister Liu" is about 1 hour. The picture is magnificent, but the content feels nothing special (no artistic cells, no appreciation) and the ticket price is relatively expensive.

Day 5: Buy special products and go home.
Sleep until you wake up naturally and get up for breakfast. I just bought some specialties downstairs, so I went to buy some Lijiang drunken fish, osmanthus crisp, osmanthus wine, Siraitia grosvenorii and so on. Then leave for high-speed railway station in Yangshuo at noon 12. There is a special line between Yangshuo and high-speed railway station near the hotel, with 20 yuan per person. Many people can make a drop. Less than an hour to high-speed railway station, only two shops in high-speed railway station have food. Pay attention to eating well before going to high-speed railway station.
