👇**Guilin Travel Guide: Landscapes That Top All Under Heaven, A Fairyland on Earth** 🌳Guilin is renowned for having "landscapes that top all under heaven," with its unique karst formations, Li River scenery, and idyllic countryside that captivate visitors. Here's a classic 3-day itinerary: 💞 **Day 1: Li River Highlights Tour** [Sun]- **Morning**: Cruise the **Li River (Yangdi to Xingping section)**, stopping to admire **Nine Horses Fresco Hill** and **Yellow Cloth Reflection** (featured on the 20 RMB note). 🌇- **Afternoon**: Arrive in **Yangshuo**, cycle through the **Ten-Mile Gallery**, and enjoy the pastoral views. Opt for a **bamboo raft ride on the Yulong River** (manually poled for a quieter experience). [Moon]- **Evening**: Stroll through **West Street Night Market**, savoring beer fish and Guilin rice noodles while soaking up the blend of Eastern and Western nightlife. 👉**Day 2: Yangshuo In-Depth Exploration** 💞- **Morning**: Hike up **Xianggong Mountain** (perfect for sunrise) or **Laozhai Mountain** (free, with panoramic views) for a bird's-eye perspective of the Li River. 🎈- **Afternoon**: Explore **Silver Cave** (a "world-class karst wonder") or **Shangri-La Scenic Area** (inspired by Tao Yuanming's pastoral poetry). 🌿- **Evening**: Watch **"Impression Sanjie Liu"** (a breathtaking outdoor performance directed by Zhang Yimou). 👣 **Day 3: Guilin City Highlights** ❣️- **Morning**: Visit **Elephant Trunk Hill** (Guilin's iconic landmark) and wander along the **Two Rivers and Four Lakes** (recommended: Banyan and Fir Lake section). ☘️- **Afternoon**: Tour **Prince Jingjiang's Mansion** (a Ming Dynasty royal residence) or **Reed Flute Cave** (a "state guest-level" karst cave). 🌵- **Evening**: Explore **Dongxi Alley**, sampling local snacks like water chestnut cake and oil tea. 😋 **Food Recommendations** ❗- **Must-try**: Guilin rice noodles (try "Lao Dongjiang Rice Noodles"), beer fish (Yangshuo Master Fish), and Lipu taro pork belly. 🤩- **Snacks**: Osmanthus cake, Gongcheng oil tea, and pickled fruits. ❗❗ **Tips** ✔1. Best season: April–October (spring and autumn are most comfortable; summer is great for water activities). 🛵2. Transport: Rent an e-bike in Yangshuo (30–50 RMB/day); buses/taxis are convenient in Guilin city. 🚤3. Avoid scams: Book Li River cruises through official channels—ignore street touts. 🌸🌿Guilin's landscapes are poetic and picturesque, perfect for slow travel. Bring your camera to capture nature's breathtaking gifts!
