Looking for self-guided travel guide from Wuhan to Guilin in 2013

I just came back from Guilin. There are really many scenic spots in Guilin. If you want to visit them all, you have to spend a lot of effort. If you don’t arrange them well, you will be very tired after playing.

Strategy sharing: The main attractions in Guilin include Yangshuo, Li River, Longji Rice Terraces, Xingping Ancient Town, Utopia, Gudong Waterfall, etc. Because we had enough time, we chose a 4-day route. The original budget was more than 2,000 per person. After planning, the actual cost per person was more than 1,000, which saved a lot. Our pick-up, hotel, tickets, and meals were all arranged, which was very worry-free. I had a great time traveling for 4 days and the trip went smoothly.

Recommended itinerary:

Day1: Pick up at the station - check in hotel - free activities

We arrived in Guilin in the afternoon. We were a little late, but we arrived. At that time, the pick-up car was still waiting, which made me feel very considerate. After arranging a hotel for accommodation that day, I had free activities and had a good night's rest. I had the energy to explore the beautiful scenery of Guilin the next day.

Day2: Xingping Lijiang River - Xingping Ancient Town - Maling Guzhai - Yinziyan - Live in Yangshuo

After breakfast, take a boat ride to watch the reflection of the yellow cloth, 20 yuan for the viewing point - - Xingping Li River; then go to Xingping Ancient Town, a thousand-year-old ancient city, where there are mysterious and simple villages - fishing villages, and here is the world's karst wonder - Lianhua Rock, which maintains the original historical environment and style, and is still immersive. You can appreciate the long old streets and the deep interest of the ancient alleys. Then we went to Maling Guzhai - a must-visit attraction when visiting Yangshuo, allowing you to truly understand the Dong people of Guangxi.

In the afternoon, visit Yinziyan, a wonder of caves in the world. It is said that there is a saying that "if you visit Yinziyan, you will never be short of money." It brings together various types of stalactites, which are lifelike and realistic. There are three most famous landscapes: snow-capped mountains and waterfalls, musical stone screen, and Yaochi Wonderland. The scenery is beautiful and worth a visit.

In the evening, you are free to go to Yangshuo West Street. The hotel environment is very comfortable, which relieves the fatigue of the day. Let me show you, this is our room.

Day 3: Longji Rice Terraces - Huangluoyao Village - Stay in Guilin

After breakfast, visit the world's crown of rice terraces - Longji Rice Terraces. The spring (silver), summer (green), autumn (gold) and winter (white) of Dragon's Backbone. Personally, I feel that there is no off-season or peak season for the Longji Rice Terraces. No matter whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, everyone can go there and take pictures at will, and they are all equally beautiful. I personally feel that this scenic spot is not to be missed.

In the afternoon, visit Huangluo Yao Village, the world’s largest Changfa Village. There will be many interactive links in Changfa Village, which is very interesting. Experience Yao village wedding customs, make rice cakes and more.

Day 4: Luoshan Lake Scenic Island - Elephant Trunk Hill - Cruise Ship City

After breakfast, visit Luoshan Lake Scenic Island, and then visit Guilin City Emblem Elephant Trunk Hill (Spring Festival Gala Branch Venue )—Elephant Trunk Mountain. It is named after a giant elephant standing by the river with its nose stretched out and drinking from the sweet spring of the Li River. It is known as the symbol of Guilin's landscape. Anyone who travels to Guilin must basically visit Elephant Trunk Mountain. When you come to Elephant Trunk Mountain, you must take a photo.

Finally, here is the anti-fraud guide for Guilin tourism:

1. You cannot book accommodation in advance when visiting Guilin, otherwise you will take a lot of mistakes and turn back. You must plan your own journey first. Itinerary, and then determine the accommodation in the corresponding area according to the itinerary. It is recommended not to play by yourself, unless you are a wealthy person and don’t care about money when others take advantage of you. Guilin is a tourist city with many traps!

2. There are many scenic spots that can be visited in Guilin, and the scenic spots are relatively scattered. It is best to plan in advance, otherwise it will be very tiring!

3. Do not join various low-priced tour groups. Nowadays, general travel agencies in Guilin have mandatory consumption and shopping. The tour fee is very low, so you should not join those low-priced tours.

4. Before setting off, you should make a rough itinerary and choose a hotel you like. Try not to choose a hotel where the travel group likes to stay. You can consider business resorts and small boutique hotels with unique characteristics. , they pay more attention to individual tourists.

5. Don’t believe the lies of taxi drivers and tricycle drivers who are “running orders” on the street, especially gentlemen. Don’t go looking for fun with them because of their “lechery”. Most of them will be I didn't eat the mutton, but I made a fuss.
