"There is a bright moon under the water, and the bright moon floats on the water. The water flows and the moon does not go, the moon goes and the water still flows", step into the Elephant Trunk Hill Park on the cover of the elementary school textbook. Elephant Trunk Hill is one of the must-visit spots in Guilin, a symbol of Guilin's landscape, follow my lens into the landscape painting! 🌱Attraction Introduction Elephant Trunk Hill, originally named Lishan, is located at the confluence of the Peach Blossom River and the Lijiang River in Guilin City. The mountain is named for its resemblance to a giant elephant standing by the river and drinking from the Lijiang River. It is known as the symbol of Guilin's landscape. Elephant Trunk Hill is famous for its magic. Its magic lies first in its resemblance, and second in the creation of a round moon between the nose and legs, forming the spectacular scene of "Elephant Mountain Water Moon". Elephant Trunk Hill is the emblem mountain of Guilin and the symbol mountain of Guilin tourism. 🌟Main Attractions 1⃣️Shuiyue Cave: Between the elephant's trunk and legs of Elephant Trunk Hill. About 12,000 years ago, the earth's crust rose, the Lijiang River shrank, and the development of Shuiyue Cave accelerated, forming a transparent round hole. 2⃣️Elephant Eye Rock: Located on the north and south sides of the waist of Elephant Trunk Hill, they pass through each other, forming an era earlier than Shuiyue Cave, named for its location just at the elephant's eye. 3⃣️Puxian Pagoda: The Puxian Pagoda, which stands on the top of the mountain, was built during the Ming Dynasty to worship Puxian Bodhisattva. There are only two Buddhist pagodas in China that worship Puxian, one is on Emei Mountain in Sichuan, and the other is on Elephant Trunk Hill in Guilin. 🎫About Tickets 🎟️Ticket Price: Free ⏰Opening Hours: 7:00～22:00 ⚠️tips: You can enter the park by scanning the code at the entrance without making a reservation. The latest entry to the park is 21:10, and the park lights out at 22:00. 🚗About Transportation 🚌Transportation Guide: You can take bus No. 16 or 23 to Elephant Mountain Scenic Area Station, or you can take a taxi or ride a shared bicycle. 📍Detailed Address: No. 1 Binjiang Road, Xiangshan District, Guilin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region 📷About Photography ✅The steps on the opposite side of Elephant Trunk Hill are the best shooting spots, and this place is also the perspective of the pictures in the textbook. ✅The viewing platform on the top of the mountain can overlook the city, and it is recommended for friends with good physical strength to climb up, and the Puxian Pagoda is on the mountain. 🍃About Entrance There are three gates in the scenic area, gate 1 can enter and exit, gate 2 can only exit but not enter, and gate 3 can enter and exit. For friends who drive by themselves, it is recommended to enter from gate 1 because there is a parking lot next to it. Friends with plenty of time can enter from gate 3 and exit from gate 1. 🌳Tour Suggestions ✅The weather in September is still very hot and sunny, so bring water and do a good job of sun protection. ✅It is not recommended to take a bamboo raft, as the time is relatively short and the scenery is not very stunning.

The Sun and Moon Pagodas are a must-visit at night Day2 On the second day, we woke up naturally, went straight to Gudong Waterfall after breakfast, it's really fun there, climbing waterfalls barehanded, children over 5 years old can climb, there are age restrictions for some big waterfalls, but the rest are super easy, both kids and parents had a blast 🤪 and it's not tiring at all, you can also play in the water, straw sandals are not slippery at all, there are ropes to slide down the mountain and forest slide cars, not tiring at all Then we went to Yangshuo in the afternoon. Day3 On the third day, we went to Ten-Mile Gallery and Yulong River for bamboo rafting. It is said that Guilin's landscape is the best under heaven, and Yangshuo's is even better than Guilin's, truly living up to its reputation! The somersault car and drones at Ten-Mile Gallery are a perfect match YYDS Full of photo-taking ladies ～You must book the Yulong River bamboo raft in advance～We booked the Jimah Wharf, the whole journey took 80 minutes, 9 dams～In the evening, we had dinner on West Street, Sister Liu's Beer Fish is good It's considered a local specialty dish～After dinner, we watched the show 'Impression of Guilin', very impressive～ Day4 On the fourth day, we went from Yangshuo to Xingping, checked off the 20 Yuan note scenery, it's also very suitable for summer with mountains and water 💦 also rode off-road motorcycles (too hard to ride ), the coach can also take videos and photos Oh, the portrait was taken at a random shop on Yangshuo West Street, the retouched photos were okay, it was a parent-child shoot, 699～ In summary, these four days were very fulfilling and not too tiring～

(1) 🚎Airport Bus: Costs 20 yuan, about 40 minutes' ride, and the terminal is the Civil Aviation Building. (There is a bus from the city to the airport every 30 minutes, it's best to leave Guilin 2 hours in advance to avoid missing your flight) (2) 🚗Taxi: It costs about 80 yuan to take a taxi from the airport to the city center. 🚂Train: Guilin currently has three train stations: Guilin South Station, Guilin West Station, and Guilin North Station. 🚄Guilin Station: Mainly operates regular passenger trains and some high-speed trains, serving major cities in China, mainly Nanning and Changsha along the line. 🚄Guilin North Station: Has more regular and high-speed train services. 🚄Guilin West Station: Located 10 kilometers from the city center, mainly serves high-speed trains running between Guangzhou and Guiyang.

Try to visit all the essential spots without rushing and take the time to relax properly.

Guilin Four Days and Three Nights Travel Guide 4.11 Arrived at Guilin North Station at ten in the morning, checked into the hotel, ordered some takeout for a light meal and rested. In the afternoon, got up to climb Elephant Trunk Hill and visited the Two Rivers and Four Lakes scenic area. You can set out at around three or four in the afternoon, enter from the No. 1 entrance of Elephant Trunk Hill, climb the hill, and visit the museum. There's a great photo spot near Gate No. 3. The Elephant Trunk Hill post office has 28 stamp collection points, sisters can bring their own notebooks. It doesn't get dark in Guilin until seven in the evening, and the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas are more beautiful when lit up at night. I don't recommend taking a bamboo raft or boat tour. Outside Gate No. 3 of the Elephant Trunk Hill scenic area, there's a Guilin Rice Noodle post office with a free stamp collection point! Correcting a misconception, the Two Rivers and Four Lakes, Elephant Trunk Hill, East-West Alley, and Zhengyang Pedestrian Street are all close together, if you walk fast, you can finish visiting them in one afternoon + evening. The two commercial streets can be visited separately. We visited Zhengyang Pedestrian Street on our first day. There's a stamp collection point at the Muxiangtang in East-West Alley, with a 10 yuan discount, and for 15 yuan you can collect all the stamps. 4.12~4.13 Two-day tour in Yangshuo 4.12 In the morning, took a four-hour Li River cruise to Yangshuo, very worthwhile! Overcast and sunny weather each have their own beauty. Arrived in Yangshuo at one-thirty in the afternoon, took a sightseeing bus to Ten-Mile Gallery. Here's a correction, the Ten-Mile Gallery starts from Fengming Parking Lot, rent an electric scooter from there to tour, don't go over the Gongnong Bridge, just find your way slowly. Make sure you're skilled at riding the electric scooter, as there are quite a few and they're not easy to ride. Took a taxi to the Guilin Eternal Love scenic area, definitely go see the performance of Guilin Eternal Love, the ticket is very worth it! You can spend an hour visiting the scenic area, which is not very large. If it's not too late after the performance, you can go to West Street for a stroll. 4.13 If you get up early, you can go see the sunrise at Xianggong Mountain, but I didn't get up orz. In the morning, went to Yulong River for bamboo rafting, dressed lightly, brought a raincoat, sandals. You can choose the rafting section according to your needs. Remember to buy tickets in advance and bring the necessary documents. After rafting, you can wander around, going to Shangri-La or Xingping Ancient Town is fine. Didn't see Impression Liu Sanjie, so no comment. If you have plenty of time, you can go see it too. Return trip in the afternoon. If you still have energy in the evening, you can go to the Xiaoyao Tower and Jingjiang Princes' City for a visit, which is right at East-West Alley, citywalk a bit. 4.14 Since I was too tired from the return trip from Yangshuo, I chose to pack my luggage in the morning, then visit Xiaoyao Tower and Jingjiang Princes' City, and solve lunch at East-West Alley. Return trip in the afternoon.

Guilin city is not big, the tourism infrastructure is mature, and the attractions are very convenient. The tourist circle centered on Elephant Trunk Hill🐘 covers the old attractions of Guilin, which can be reached by bus🚌 and walking🚶‍♀️. First stop: Elephant Trunk Hill (about 90 minutes) Elephant Trunk Hill Scenic Area, 🎫tickets are free, 🉑can be booked on Ctrip, scan ID card🪪 at the entrance, the park has 2 entrances and exits. Please note⚠️ there is a river channel after entering the park. If you want to climb the mountain, you need to walk along the river bank inside. If you want to take pictures of Elephant Trunk Hill🐘, you need to walk along the river channel outside, where you can take a panoramic view of people and mountains. Second stop: Sun and Moon Twin Towers (about 30 minutes) Sun and Moon Twin Towers, tickets🎫 35, Ctrip 28. But I think you can not buy tickets, in the Sun and Moon Twin Towers Cultural Park, you can take pictures of the shadowy twin towers during the day, and it's great to take pictures📷 under the tower at night, free. If you want to climb the tower, buy a ticket. 🍜Search for a well-reviewed rice noodle shop nearby for lunch, when in Rome, do as the Romans do～ Third stop: Jingjiang Prince's Mansion (about 90 minutes) Duxiu Peak Wangcheng Scenic Area, tickets🎫 100, is the most expensive attraction in the city. I didn't go in, it's the mansion of Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, built 34 years earlier than the Forbidden City, said to be the dragon vein and cultural vein of Guilin, 🉑see the whole Guilin city. We can't climb, and the Forbidden City is only 40, so we just checked in at the door. Fourth stop: East-West Alley (about 90 minutes) East-West Alley, is a commercial street, and Zhengyang Pedestrian Street is in a T-shape. So you can shop here until night, go to the pedestrian street, a bit like Chengdu's Kuanzhai Alley, antique architectural block, there are various small shops inside, and many places to take ethnic portraits. Fifth stop: Zhengyang Pedestrian Street (40 minutes for shopping, meals not included) Zhengyang Pedestrian Street, is a food street around the scenic area. There are many shops selling souvenirs, but many shops are not open before 4:00 pm. The restaurants are average, maybe I'm not used to it, but it's not expensive, search online are all tourist set meals. 🥗Have dinner and wait for the sunset～ Six stop: Night view of Sun and Moon Twin Towers Sun and Moon Twin Towers, look at the Sun and Moon Twin Towers at night, it's like visiting a small park, the opposite Li River is also a different quiet from the daytime. There are many fruit🥭 stalls on the roadside, if you like to experience, you can buy some, don't care about the price. Such a day will not be tired, and the tour is very comfortable, suitable for families with elderly and children👪 to travel. If you are fast, you can go back to the hotel for a nap.

After coming back from Guilin, my most profound realization is that the distances between scenic spots are quite far, and transportation is inconvenient. You have to take taxis back and forth, which is really inconvenient! (Emphasize this point❗️) Without some planning, you will still feel a bit lost😭, so spontaneous trips are not suitable for Guilin!! - ✅Accommodation Guide Urban area: Near Guilin Station or city center, convenient transportation, easy to find food, close to urban scenic spots, convenient for city walks Yangshuo: If you like the lively West Street area, you can stay there; if you prefer quiet, you can choose a homestay near Yulong River - ✅Attraction Details ✨NO.1 Elephant Trunk Hill: It is recommended to enter from Gate 1 and exit from Gate 3 to have a complete view of the hill without retracing your steps ✨NO.2 Sun and Moon Pagodas: The daytime scenery is ordinary, it is recommended to go at night to capture the beautiful reflection in the lake ✨NO.3 Reed Flute Cave: Online tickets are mandatory to be used 1 hour after purchase, don't wait until you're at the entrance to buy tickets online ✨NO.4 Li River: You can drive to Xingping to take a cruise, but it's inconvenient to retrieve your car afterwards ✨NO.5 Xingping Ancient Town: Don't trust people in the ancient town who say touching the turtle is free; you might end up losing hundreds of yuan ✨NO.6 Yulong River ✨NO.7 Longji Rice Terraces ✨NO.8 Jingjiang Prince's Mansion ✨NO.10 Xianggong Mountain: You need to set off at three or four o'clock for the breathtaking scenery ✨NO.11 Ruyi Peak: Don't lose your paper ticket, as you need it to enter and exit the scenic area ✨NO.12 Gudong Waterfall: Climbing the waterfall will definitely get your clothes wet, remember to bring a change of clothes for convenience - Join a tour group or travel independently Guilin's attractions are quite scattered, with many mountains⛰️, and transportation is not very convenient. Independent travel requires complicated planning and risk of mishaps, while joining a tour group gives you freedom of time, peace of mind, especially with the recent drop in temperature, shivering🥶, just get on the bus to start, get off to take photos📸, focusing on comfort is enough, and it's also cost-effective.
