Treasure-level guide for five days and four nights in Guilin during summer vacation

I decided to go to Guilin during the summer vacation

Necessary travel documents

Documents, ID card, student ID card (required), military officer ID card, etc.

Electrical appliances Chargers, power banks, headphones, selfie sticks, cameras

Skin care products must have hydrating functions, and remember to bring sunscreen. The ultraviolet rays in Guilin are very strong (remember to wear sunscreen)

Masks are still in a special period, so you must wear a mask when going out

For clothes, it is recommended to check the real-time weather before deciding what clothes to bring. There is a temperature difference between morning and evening. No matter what season you go, wear thicker clothes at night than during the day. Order more or more

Wear flat shoes instead of high heels. It is more comfortable and convenient to play.

Accommodation Guide

① The scenic spots in the urban area of ??Guilin are relatively concentrated. It is recommended to live near the East and West Alley or near the central square. It is close to the scenic spot and convenient for travel. There are many delicious food just downstairs.

② The area around West Street in Yangshuo is very lively and noisy. The bars are open at night for supper. If you are worried about the noise, you can stay in B&Bs and hotels in some small streets on the back of West Street. Most of them are around the Yulong River and Moon Mountain. There are B&Bs with beautiful scenery near the scenic area. The transportation is not so convenient and it will be more expensive near the scenic area.

③Longsheng area. There are also hotels and B&Bs in the Longji Scenic Area. You can also stay in Longsheng County, but it is far from the scenic area. The night view of the county town is also quite good. You can stroll along the river and there are many night markets.

Suggestions for preventing pitfalls

1. Guilin’s slightly spicy food is also quite spicy. If you can’t eat spicy food, be sure to try it. Talk to the waiter in advance, otherwise many dishes are spicy by default

2. Don’t go to the hotels or restaurants recommended by taxi drivers. Most of them are rebates, high quality, and average taste

3. There is no light rail or subway in Guilin. Travel basically relies on taxis or buses. Since the scenic spots are far apart, you must arrange your time reasonably

4. Don’t believe the one-day tours on the street, they are a scam

5. Buy raincoats, foot covers (for riding bamboo rafts) and gloves, masks, ice sleeves and small reds for driving) in advance

Recommended attractions

Elephant Trunk Mountain: There is a mountain beside the Li River in the city that resembles an elephant. It is named Elephant Trunk Mountain. With its unique mountain shape and long history, it has become the emblem of Guilin and is a must-visit tourist attraction in Guilin.

龙Ridge terraces: The terraces are majestic in scale, majestic and powerful. They integrate the essence of the world's terrace shapes and are the crown of the world's terraced landscapes. They can be called the best in the world

Food Recommendations

Guilin Rice Noodles: There are rice noodles usually eaten in stewed vegetable noodles and cut noodles (flat), which can be dried or added with soup

Beer Fish: Serve it in a big pot of steaming rice noodles The red thick soup in the heat is wrapped with large pieces of rich-colored fish meat, and the aroma floating in front of you is fresh and slightly spicy
