Five-day free travel from Guangzhou to Guilin

Guilin is a world-famous top tourist city, known as Guilin's landscape is the best in the world. The mountains and rivers in Guilin are really beautiful and moving, just like the fairyland in the painting, which is generally beautiful and illusory, attracting tourists from all over the world, especially backpackers' paradise.

Mainly in downtown Guilin and Yangshuo, this tour is not tight, but there are not many places to play.

Preparation work/goods

1. The high-speed rail ticket is in the summer peak season, and there is a great demand for travel. It is best to book one week in advance.

2. Hotels, 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. Booking in advance will generally have a discount, and there are many hotel choices, so you can book a better hotel.

3. Umbrella, a necessary thing, 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 will hurt people's skin.

4. Band-Aids, green grass sticks (anti-mosquito) and cool Ren Fei.

5. Charging treasure, charging head, charging cable

6. Plastic bags for dirty clothes. The hotel has clothes hangers, you can wash your clothes and dry them yourself, but sometimes you don't want to move after playing for a day.

7. Slippers, disposable raincoats, waterproof bags for mobile phones, and launch requirements. There is a launching place in Xiangshan Scenic Area (it is not too big and nothing special, so it can be ignored). The water area of the ancient waterfall is low, so climbing the waterfall requires disposable raincoats, waterproof bags for mobile phones and non-slip slippers. There is a set of scenic spots for rent (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 buy it earlier, it will affect the arrangement. If I buy tickets for two rivers and four lakes on the same day, I may not have the flight time you want. )

Detailed itinerary suggestions

0 10- 10: 10, take the high-speed train to Guangzhou South Railway Station in the early morning. The high-speed train at 9 o'clock will arrive at Guilin North Station at noon 12. After I got off the high-speed train and left high-speed railway station, many tour guides were waiting for passengers and many were waiting for tourists. After leaving high-speed railway station, I am going 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, said we would go back there, and asked us if we would take us by car to 10 yuan, because it was a scenic spot, and strangers usually asked us. With such a good thing, we will definitely be vigilant.

So he asked me if I was sure to take it to Elephant Trunk Hill. Asked a few more questions and gave us 2 yuan. 1After 2 yuan confirmed that there were four people, I followed her into her car and took us to the hotel. After that, I added her WeChat, saying that you can find her for a chartered tour, which is to go out to meet dignitaries.

After I delivered the things to the hotel, it was past 1 and I set off for dinner. There is a famous Toona sinensis roast goose nearby. Not expensive, but not very cheap, 60~80 per capita. At about 2 o'clock, I walked 10 minutes to Xiangshan Scenic Area, spent 5 1 yuan on the app and went in.

Elephant trunk mountain is the most iconic scenic spot in Xiangshan, which can generally be seen on the internet. Others feel nothing special, just climbing mountains to see the scenery. But if you want to see the complete and beautiful Elephant Trunk Mountain, you need to enter the scenic spot, and you can only see it vaguely outside.

You can only walk around the foot of the mountain to find Xiangshan.

It's about 6 o'clock after visiting Xiangshan Scenic Area. The scenic spot is open until 6: 30 and cleared at 7: 00. According to the manager of the scenic spot, the evening performance starts at 7: 30. After the park, 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, went shopping for a while, bought some fruit and went back to the hotel.

Xiangshan Scenic Area is high and far away.

Precautions:

1. Go to the scenic spot to buy tickets. Don't look for small local travel agencies, look for big ones, and don't buy roadside tickets. You may be trapped.

2. Pay attention to the small restaurants in Ji Chun Roast Goose Street, some of which have low cost performance. The above two notes were said by our elder sister.

Personal advice:

If you want to go to Xiangshan Scenic Area first, you can take a bus to Guilin Railway Station, which is close to Xiangshan, but there are fewer flights. There are many flights at Guilin North Station, but it is far from the scenic spots, so you need to take a bus or taxi. The scenic spots here in Guilin are not far away, and Xiangshan and the two rivers and four lakes are separated by a road.

The second day and the first day: Xiangshan Scenic Area, Zhengyang Pedestrian Street, Shuiyuege Boutique Hotel.

Set the alarm clock, get up at 8 o'clock 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, 10 yuan a bowl. I found that all the Guilin rice noodles I have eaten before are free, and the way to eat here is completely different. After breakfast, I contacted the driver who picked us up 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 are going directly. When we first arrived at the driver's eldest sister, we thought it was more convenient to rent a car, so we chose to rent a car. After waiting for 10 minutes, the driver picked us up at the hotel and set off.

The driver is a local, and he asked about our itinerary. Knowing that he was going to Yangshuo tomorrow and wanted to take a bamboo raft, he recommended whether to sign up for a tour. There is a big discount. The general itinerary is to take a bamboo raft after the Guilin downtown hotel picks up the plane, then take a cruise to 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 with the driver that we could sign up for a tour 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. Tickets for East Waterfall are booked 4 hours in advance online. Even if it says that the ticket will be issued immediately, it should be 4 hours in advance after the inquiry. The online price is 5 1/52 yuan. Buy a ticket for 55 yuan on the spot. When buying a ticket, the driver's eldest brother gave a ticket receipt, saying that the four of us were his and should be able to get back the commission. After a short walk in the park, there are two roads: water and land. Manual bamboo raft ride by waterway is required 10 yuan. We chose the waterway, feeling nothing special, less than 100 meters, and got off the boat soon. 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 reach the fork in the road, you can choose to climb the waterfall or walk down a flight of stairs. Waterproof clothing (disposable raincoat, waterproof mobile phone case, helmet, sandals, shoes and bags) for rent. One set 15 has two places for rent. You can rent it when you get off the bamboo raft. There is no need to rent in a hurry. And where you were when you wanted to climb the waterfall. We chose to climb the waterfall. The waterfall is steep, but there are artificial steps and chains beside it. It looks hard to climb, but it's actually ok. The water in the waterway is very clear and cold. There is a place on the way to land that can also launch land. Stop all the way and you will reach the top of the mountain. There is a temple on the top of the mountain where you can burn incense. Incense is free, and when sesame oil is consumed 10 yuan can get a wish card. When the wish card reaches the back, you will

There are many old buildings in the park. In fact, only 3/4 of the First Waterfall Group and Lijiang Ancient Cave Scenic Area are difficult to climb.

Gudong scenic spot

There are slings and scooters under the mountain. There was only one section of the sling, and the scooter almost reached the foot of the mountain.

Back to the city, I went to the travel agency (Guilin International Travel Service) with my driver's eldest brother, and reported a one-day tour of Guilin-Yangshuo at the price of 150 yuan. Because we paid for the entrance ticket to Gudong Waterfall, there is no need to give it away. The driver's big brother said that we can reimburse the ticket for 50 yuan, 150 people will do.

Visit the two rivers and four lakes in the evening

Then I went to a Forrest Gump restaurant near the hotel for a meal. The price of this hotel is satisfactory and the service is good. After dinner, we set out for the docks of the two rivers and four lakes. Jianghu can book on the app and choose the flight time. There are three docks for boarding. Our tickets were booked at Fisherman's Wharf. When you come to Guilin, most people will recommend the two rivers and four lakes, saying that Xiangshan and the two rivers and four lakes are the most representative here, and other scenic spots are similar. Visit the two rivers and four lakes in the evening, and you can see the beautiful night view 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 give a wonderful description. Just look at the picture.

Elephant trunk mountain under the lamp, two rivers and four lakes, taken by mobile phone, the effect is average, the two rivers and four lakes will pass many bridges.

There is a song and dance performance near the terminal of the Four Lakes cruise ship.

Two Rivers and Four Lakes

Tickets, next to the pier is the ticket collection point.

About an hour later, 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 who want to go to Gudong Waterfall, you'd better 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 frequency choices.

The next day: Gudong Waterfall

Because it was a one-day tour in Yangshuo, I got up early, took my luggage, checked out, and got on the bus of the travel agency without breakfast. The bus went around the city for a while, picked up members from various hotels and set off. Go to the first sightseeing spot-Daxu rafting (lawn), where there are four bamboo rafts. Here, you can see the mountains and lush green trees 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.

Go back to the boarding point at the finish line.

After taking 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 way). After dinner, we took the bus and drove about 10 minutes to the ancient town of Xingping. There are many places to eat here, and they are very cheap. I suggest eating here first.

When we arrived in Xingping ancient town, the tour guide asked us to go shopping by ourselves first, and then made an appointment to come back to Xingping pier for a cruise. Xingping Ancient Town appears frequently on the Internet, and we think it is very distinctive. But after shopping, I found that it was commercialized seriously, and it was all modern things. We are really ashamed of the name "Ancient Town". There is a place to see ancient operas and costumes in Xingping ancient town (the name has been forgotten). Because the place is small, it's easy to find it around. If you visit for free, I feel that the whole ancient town is worth seeing here.

I didn't sign up to buy tickets until the tour guide arrived. 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's hot and crowded, and there is no place to sit, let alone the elderly and children. This is also a kind of torture for adults.

The cruise takes about an hour, and there are many scenic spots on the way. The position of 20 RMB can be seen on the cruise ship.

Xingping Ancient Town, 20 yuan, left and right.

After the tour, get on the bus and end the tour. You can choose a tour bus.

Because the chef golden beer fish is opposite the hotel, we went to the chef for dinner. Chef service is average, and there are many local restaurants. Well-known beer fish on the Internet is not cheap either. The value of one kilogram exceeds 100. 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 West Street, which many people said on the Internet. There are many people, nothing special. You can go shopping when you are free at night. If I feel tired, I have no regrets. After visiting the hotel Tianchengju Garden Hotel, I booked a plane ticket for the next day and went to rest.

Day 3: Daxu Bamboo Raft, Xingping Ancient Town, Tianchengju Garden Hotel

(Lishui Gu Yue, Totem Road, Julongtan, butterfly spring)

Continue going out at 9 o'clock. I ate rice noodles downstairs and next door in the hotel. I found that Guilin rice noodles are really the same everywhere. After breakfast, I went to the first scenic spot of Shili Gallery Park and 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 an electric car rental office near the entrance of the scenic spot. There are several places where you can rent electric cars. We rented two cars and told us we could use them for one day and return them today. Price 50 yuan/vehicle, deposit 400 yuan. At 8 o'clock behind, the owner called me to return the car. I asked if today was appropriate. She said it was before dark, but I insisted that she didn't say it. She said that she could give me some money in the future, because she clearly remembered not to return the car before dark, and did not say the specific time. My temper immediately came up and I said no more money. Then she probably gave me cowardice for future use.

Butterfly spring, driving an electric car, came to butterfly spring, the first scenic spot (don't be misled by the name, there are no real butterflies in the garden), and a huge butterfly landed on the wall. The guide of the park took him into the park and entered the cave through a long staircase. The cave is cool and there are all kinds of stalactites.

I made a video of interactive dancing with Dong people.

(Julongtan)

Julongtan is dominated by karst cave stalactites. After entering the park, go ashore by boat on the other side, and then visit by land. After the tour, you will be allowed to fish shells for free. I'll open your shell on the spot. There is a pearl in the shell (no pearl is found), so you can take it directly. If it is beautiful, you need to pay the processing fee to 30 yuan, and then give you a 925 silver chain (according to the merchant's statement), and the pearl silver chain will be connected to you (whether it looks good or not is judged by the merchant).

Gather in Longtan and cross a waterway by boat first.

(Totem Ancient Road Lishui Gu Yue)

These two places are the same place, and the ticket collection is also the same place, but the tour is separate. Both places are worth visiting, but pay attention to the time in Lishui and Gu Yue.

There are many bull heads hanging on the ancient totem road. Set in a certain tribe, which tribe, which nation. I'm not sure, 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, maybe people in the tribe will come around and signal that you don't respect women; If a woman comes to touch your stomach, it means that this woman has confessed to you. At this time, don't feel lost and don't touch it back. Touching back is accepting love and staying here as a son-in-law. In the tribe, the way to say hello is to yawn and talk nonstop, like Mount Tai in the animation? Compliments are thumbs up, just like us. Somewhere, there will be the experience of inviting relatives, that is, we two tourists go on stage and shout longer and louder than anyone else. If they win, they can marry the tribal girl sitting next to them and stay in the tribe. Walking hand in hand, dancing around their totem and touching their ass are welcome when entering the casino. Some parts of the tribe cannot be photographed because they are sacred to them. Whether the above is true or not, just to be on the safe side and out of respect for other people's culture, remember to follow the instructions of the tour guide.

Visit the ancient totem road and have tea. In order to promote sales, I left without listening Go to Lishui Gu Yue next door. Lishui Gu Yue is a stage performance. The performance lasted about an hour. The performance is wonderful and worth seeing. Before the performance, the host said that Chen Longjie had just visited here, and then he wrote a calligraphy and painting, which was given away for free, that is, 300 volumes. Later, before the performance began, he said that he could go to the stage and ask Chen Longjie to write down what he wanted in five words. Daniel lee's performances are varied, that is, the spotlight occasionally hits the wine glasses.

Lishui Gu Yue Theatre

Lishui Gu Yue Theatre

We visited these places in Shili Gallery and went out for dinner around 5: 00 (the meal at Xie Jie's beer fish was very good in service and 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 each scenic spot is quite long. Walking will be tiring and a waste of time.

It would be nice to see only one cave. Unless you are a stalactite lover, Yangshuo and Guilin can see the scenic spots of caves: reed flute cave, Yan Guan, Yinziyan, Jinshuiyan, butterfly spring and Julongtan. However, there are large and small caves, and Yinziyan and reed flute cave caves are more famous. Butterfly spring, who went to Shili Gallery, didn't think it necessary to have a party in Longtan. Butterfly spring is more cost-effective than Julongtan.

3. Many strategies of big banyan tree and Moon Mountain say that it is unnecessary to go.

4. Lishui Ancient Yue and Totem Ancient Road are worth visiting.

5. Shili Gallery has a package ticket, and the scenic spots are free to choose.

Liu Jie impression

After dinner, I went to see the famous Impression of Sister Liu. Note that the ticket office is far from the performance site, about 1.5 km, and it takes nearly 20 minutes to walk. Buy tickets online, don't look at the ticket office and don't reserve time. You can search the site on the map through "Sister Liu Sanjie's Impression". Many buildings in it are magnificent and antique. My impression of Sister Liu is about 1 hour. The picture is magnificent, the content feels nothing special (no artistic cells, no appreciation), and the ticket price is relatively expensive.

Day 4: Shili Gallery

I slept until I woke up naturally and got up for breakfast. There are some specialties downstairs, so I bought some drunken fish from Lijiang River, Osmanthus Jelly, osmanthus wine, Siraitia grosvenorii and so on. Then leave for high-speed railway station in Yangshuo at noon 12. There is a special line from Yangshuo to high-speed railway station near the hotel, 20 yuan/person. Many people can have a drop. Less than an hour to high-speed railway station, only two shops in high-speed railway station have food. Please pay attention to eat well before you go to high-speed railway station.
