This two-day trip to Guilin takes you to the city's natural beauty and humanistic heritage. The fantastical Reed Flute Cave, the towering Elephant Trunk Hill, the rippling blue waves of the Li River, and the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas blending the ancient and modern, are as beautiful as a picture scroll, showing the flavour of Guilin.
From the starting point, we arrived in Guilin, which is like an ink landscape painting. Upon arrival in Guilin, professional pick-up personnel will hold up the pick-up sign to pick you up. After receiving you, take a short rest, check your luggage and personal belongings for any omissions, and then proceed to Guilin city to check into a hotel. (Reference train: Shenzhen North Guilin North G2902/08:05-11:11 or a train that passes through Guangzhou South)
Visit the most iconic landscape and city emblem of Guilin, Elephant Trunk Hill AAAAA. The mountain resembles an elephant standing by the Li River and drinking water, lifelike and captivating. The Water Moon Cave in the front of the mountain is curved like a full moon, piercing through the mountain. The clear river water passes through the cave, and the shadow of the cave reflects the river surface, creating a strange sight of "a bright moon at the bottom of the water, and a bright moon floating on the water".
The Twin Towers of Sun and Moon, located in the central area of Guilin and situated on the central axis of the city, are the symbol of the new Guilin. The Sun Pagoda, Moon Pagoda, Samantabhadra Pagoda on Elephant Mountain, and Shoufo Pagoda on Tashan Mountain echo and complement each other, earning the saying 'the four pagodas are equally beautiful'. The Guilin Sun and Moon Twin Towers are known as the world's first copper towers and are a stunning night view destination for tourism in Guilin.
After breakfast, take a boat trip to [Xingping Lijiang River] (about 90 minutes), the essence of Guilin's landscape. It has long been said that "Yangshuo's landscape is the best in Guilin, and the most beautiful in Xingping". There are famous essence scenic spots such as RMB 20 background map. Throughout history, the beautiful mountains, rivers, and streams of Xingping have captivated countless literati and scholars. As the boat sailed through the river, it was like opening up a series of wonderful landscape paintings in front of you. You could observe the reflection of strange peaks and the leisurely fishing of fishermen, truly experiencing the breathtaking Li River fairyland of "boats walking in the river, people swimming in the painting".
Go and experience the bamboo raft drifting on the Yulong River. Yulong River is a tributary of the Li River in Yangshuo. The water is as clear as a mirror, and you can easily take pictures of landscape paintings. Compared to the scenery of the Li River, the scenery of the Yulong River is more gentle and is known as the "Little Li River". The bamboo raft drifting along the Yulong River is very famous, where you can take a raft and savor the beautiful scenery of the mountains, waters, and countryside along the river. (Note: According to the regulations of the water transportation department, children under 1.2 meters tall and elderly people over 70 years old are prohibited from riding bamboo rafts. During summer or holidays, there are many tourists traveling on double rafts on the Longhe River, making it difficult to queue up. In order to ensure the quality of the arrangement of double rafts on the Longhe River, the tour guide will adjust the bamboo raft dock for sightseeing accordingly.)
Afterwards, visit the "World Cave Wonders" [Silver Rock] (tour time about 90 minutes). Yinzi Rock is a brilliant pearl that appears in Guilin's tourist attractions, integrating natural and cultural landscapes. The crystal clear stalactites inside the cave shine like treasures under the reflection of lights. The music stone screen, Guanghan Palace, snow capped waterfalls, Buddha's sutras, single pillar sky, mixed element pearl umbrellas and other scenery all tell the story of nature's incredible craftsmanship.
