    Highlights: The essence of Guilin's landscape lies in the scenery of Li River. Dubbed as the “best landscape in the world”, Guilin has appeared widely in elementary school textbooks. The two sides of the Li River have different mountains with different shapes. Among them, the most representative ones include the Nine Horse Mountain and the Yellow Cloth Shoal. The latter is featured on the back of the new 20 RMB notes. Visiting the Li River can be done by boat or bamboo rafts. The big boat is spacious but the bamboo raft is more exotic.

    Highlights: Gudong Waterfall Scenic Area is located in the south of Daxu Ancient Town, Lingchuan County, Guilin City. In the scenic area, there are multi-level series of calcified waterfalls formed by the collection of underground springs. The unique feature of Gudong Waterfall is that the garden has dug many stone pits in the rocks, which can be climbed with iron chains, allowing people to fully experience the fun of going up the water. After entering, you can take a bamboo raft across Sanjie Lake and then walk a short distance to the foot of the waterfall. Climbing the waterfall requires wearing uniform equipment - straw sandals and a helmet. It takes about 30 minutes to climb the entire waterfall group. The water flow of the waterfalls varies from slow to fast and is very safe. It is inevitable that the clothes will get wet. There is a changing room next to the end of the waterway. Of course, if it is summer, the clothes may dry out in a short time. Those who don't like the water route can also take the dry route and then take the mountain road down the mountain. However, most people still choose the water route here. In addition to climbing waterfalls, riding bamboo rafts, and crossing swing bridges, the environment and air of Gudong Waterfall itself are also very good. It has many maple trees. The most beautiful time is in autumn. It is a mountain forest full of maple trees. Every year In late autumn (around November-December), the forests here are all dyed, and the maple leaves are in brilliant red. There is an aerial suspension bridge in the maple forest. This suspension bridge is more than 50 meters above the ground. It is also the most beautiful place in Gudong. The waterfall is a great scenic spot to admire the red maples.

    "Daxu Ancient Town, I can only describe it in one word: "shocking", I touched the decaying ancient wood, walked the already smooth stone bricks, looked at the ancient city with a long history, it seemed to be synchronized with the ancient people, I have seen too many ancient cities, I even think I went before Not the ancient city, Instead, under the name of the "old city" commercial street, I think the real ancient city should be a simple folk customs, to effectively integrate the ancient city with culture, less commercialization. Of course, the commercialization will decrease, and the income of local people will decrease, but I think that too much commercialization will lose the original charm of the ancient city. In order to protect this culture, the state of commercialization and the ancient city should be relatively balanced. And precisely this, the ancient town of Daxu is very good, there is a quite strong ancient city culture, without breaking the foundation of the original life, it is indeed to integrate the ancient city and the people's lives. It is recommended to feel this slow life, away from the hustle and bustle of the city."

    Highlights: Daxu Ancient Town is located 18 kilometers southeast of Guilin City and has a history of more than 1,800 years. Today's Daxu Ancient Town can still see the old streets paved with bluestone slabs. When you look up, you can see the arcades and wooden pavements along the street. Walking in the ancient town, you can see all kinds of historical relics everywhere, full of ancient style. Daxu Ancient Town was founded in AD 200. Until the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was a place where merchants from the north and the south gathered, and merchants from all over the world built their guild halls here, which was very prosperous. It used to be above the four major towns in Guangxi (the rest are Luxu in Binyang, Rongxu in Cangwu, and Qiaoxu in Guixian). The Wanshou Bridge, located at the confluence of the Mahe River and the Lijiang River, is a good place to appreciate the Lijiang River and Luozhi Mountain on the opposite bank. The bridge itself is a cultural relic that was built in the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. Between Taipingmen and Yonganmen after passing the Wanshou Bridge, there is a lot of old buildings. You can stroll here and savor it carefully. The monuments worth seeing include Gaozu Temple, Mosque, Ancestral Hall, Liao House (47 Dongfang Street), Huang House (28 Minzhu Street), Li House (37 Minzhu Street) and so on. On Jiefang Street, there are also two domineering dragon columns in front of a mansion, you can also take a look. The ancient town still retains a number of ancient handicraft workshops such as bamboo weaving workshops, straw sandal workshops, traditional funeral supplies stores, herbal medicine clinics, and old barber shops. The idle old people either read some yellowed books on the street, or gathered together to drink tea and play cards, living peacefully and watching the ancient town behind. About 8 kilometers away from Daxu Ancient Town, there is also an ancient village called Xiongcun, which can be played together. In addition, strawberries can be picked around Daxu Ancient Town in April and May, and the price can be asked by local farmers.

    "An ancient village with a baby visited for a day was arranged separately: 1. One step at a time, you can feel the careful design of the development unit; 2. There are about 10 cultural inheritance activities that can be interactive with parents and children in the village, and the expected charges are standard; 3. A little sense of business, but it will not make people feel excessively peddled, free choice; 4. The whole village is on both sides of the river and the desire of the city children to be hydrophilic. From physical strength to financial resources, it is simple and luxurious by Jun! recommend!"

    Highlights: Dongli Ancient Village Attraction(also known as Lishui People) is located on the Chaotian River in Daxu Town, Lingchuan County, only 19 kilometers away from Guilin City. It is not only a living Lijiang traditional cultural and artistic village, but also a wild luxury pastoral life complex that can provide an immersive humanistic experience. With Chinese traditional culture and oriental life aesthetics as the main line, it is committed to rural revitalization. Over the past ten years, it has outlined a paradise-like poetry and wine life, presenting a return to nature of "seeing mountains, seeing water, and remembering homesickness". 【Inheritance Creation】 Folk handicrafts are like blood. In the long river of history, most of them have evolved into a family-inherited job, from father to son, and from son to son... Dongli Ancient Village workshops and craftsmen are all related to ordinary life. At first, they may just be for livelihood, but as time goes by, these survival skills are superimposed with layers of emotions and are endowed with cultural meanings, becoming a unique cultural landscape. Unique handicrafts, accompanied by the breath of history and the warmth of handwork, are passed down from generation to generation here, never stopping. 【Parent-child fun】 Nature is the first textbook and an interesting teacher, and Dongli Ancient Village is a very suitable classroom for nature education. The joyful chirping of birds and insects in the mountains and forests, and the swaying fish and shrimps in the river allow children to escape from the siege of electronic products, return to nature, integrate into nature, release their innocence, and feel the natural aesthetics that are different from the city. 【Green bricks and green tiles】 The traditional architecture of Dongli Ancient Village is an ancient village in northern Guangxi that was rebuilt after a detailed investigation of Guilin, especially the ancient Hunan-Guangxi trade route and the ancient villages along the Li River, and a careful study of the cultural history, architectural forms and living conditions of key villages. Whether it is bricks, tiles, doors and windows, or eaves and horse-head walls, every word, painting, carving and engraving in the house reflects the exquisite skills of the craftsmen. Every building can be traced back and is full of stories. 【Eat in season】 Mountains are alive because of water, and people live because of water. The mountains and rivers intoxicate tourists, and the impressions are all poetry. Food is often the result of the nurturing of green mountains and clear waters. The local soil and water produce local products. Dongli Ancient Village has always followed the traditional farming concept of "eating in season", obtaining fresh ingredients in season locally, and the local customs made by experienced gourmets are indescribably delicious. 【Ancient B&B】 The homestays in Dongli Ancient Village are renovated from old buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Every brick, tile and wood has its origin, and their prototypes can be found in the ancient villages in northern Guangxi. The homestays in Dongli Ancient Village encompass the essence of all the ancient buildings in Souvenir Guangxi, such as Deyue Tower in Liugong Village, Yangshuo, Hongyin Bridge in Quanzhou, Qin Family Courtyard in Xing'an, and representative residential buildings in the twelve counties and districts of Guilin, such as Lingchuan, Guanyang and Pingle. Compared with those single homestays, the bricks, tiles and plants here are full of affection, and the old furniture, old objects and old utensils, coupled with modern hardware facilities, allow guests to experience the intangible cultural heritage and authentic customs of northern Guangxi while staying, and have a unique cultural experience.
