Has anyone told me the deceptive routine of Guilin tourism so that I can take precautions in advance?

Guilin is one of the earliest tourist cities in China. There are three classic scenic spots and two caves in the urban area, namely Elephant Trunk Mountain, Fu Bo, Diecai Mountain, reed flute cave and Qixingyan. Now there are many tours in the two rivers and four lakes. The distribution of other tourist attractions is centered on Guilin and radiates to surrounding counties and cities such as Yangshuo, Longsheng and Xing 'an. The traffic from the urban area to these county attractions is very convenient. The shuttle bus to Yangshuo and Longsheng takes about 15 minutes, and the shuttle bus to Xing 'an takes about 30 minutes. There are also many accommodations and restaurants in urban areas and scenic spots, which are very suitable for self-help tours. But self-help tours should do their homework in advance.

If you buy online, tickets for various accommodations, restaurants and scenic spots will be cheaper, such as Ctrip.com, Qunar.com, Xinxin.com, Nuomi.com, Meituan.com and Wowotuan.com. I suggest you buy hotel accommodation and even meals online, but it will be more troublesome and time-consuming to get tickets for group purchases, so you should think it over in advance. If you are in go on road trip, it is recommended to live in Xiangshan District, where there are bus stations, South Railway Station, namely Guilin Railway Station and Qintan Bus Station, and it is also very close to Liangjiang Airport. Take a bus to Yangshuo, Qintan Bus Terminal to Longsheng, and Guibei Bus Terminal to Xing 'an Lemandi. There are 1, 99, 100 buses from Xiangshan District to Guibei Bus Station and North Railway Station, and there are 22 buses to West Railway Station, which is more convenient. Reminder: The most affordable dining in Xiangshan District is in Kale Food Plaza on the fourth floor of Da Lian Plaza near Xiangjiang Hotel. Variety of colors and cheap prices. The dining on Red Street and Xicheng Road is also practical. Don't go to the south ring road, that is, the section of Xiangshan Park from Wenchang Bridge to Nanmen Bridge, that is, the traffic lights from Wenchang Bridge to Zhongshan Hotel along the street. The so-called specialty restaurants and specialty shops along the road are all dedicated to extorting foreign guests. If you want to go shopping in the night market, it is recommended to live in the area from Guilin Department Store to Central Square to Smile Hall.

Note: When you go out, don't expose your money for safety. In Yangshuo, there are bad guys robbing riders. There are thieves in buses, bus stations, bus stations, railway stations, pedestrian streets and even streets in Guilin, both men and women, and the bus stations and railway stations with more passengers from other places are the most. Don't buy things or stay in shops near railway stations and bus stations, where there are many thieves, shopkeepers and shop assistants are also very dark, most of them will bully foreign guests, and the most despicable thing is to play tricks of losing money. In addition, don't buy expensive things in scenic spots. Also, don't expect to have an affair in Guilin. Guilin has many customers. They will take the initiative to talk to you, ask you to go to the movies, sing, drink coffee and drink, just to kill you. The tricycle drivers of hotels in Guilin are basically entrusted. Take a taxi to prevent illegal car use. Even if it is a regular taxi, don't believe everything the driver says. It is not excluded that he is also entrusted. Never go to KTV, bars, travel agencies, restaurants and so on he recommended. If you encounter a bully's extortion, the best policy is to find a way out yourself. If you really can't leave, call 1 10 to call the police. If the police don't call the police, there is nothing you can do. The above ugly phenomena have been repeatedly banned by relevant government departments, and only they can protect themselves.

About the Lijiang River. There are two ways: one is to take the Lijiang River tourist boat with a ticket of 2 10 yuan/person, board the boat from the Pearl River Pier at 9: 00-9: 30 in the morning, go downstream for about 4-5 hours, and arrive at the Longtoushan Pier in Yangshuo at about 2: 30 in the afternoon, with a water journey of 83 kilometers. This is operated by Guilin Tourism Co., Ltd., which is very formal.

The other is to swim the Lijiang River on a bamboo raft equipped with an electric motor. Travel from Di Yang to Xingping, water distance 18km. Buy a ticket at the ticket office of Lijiang Scenic Area in Di Yang Township and swim on the bamboo raft. The retail price is 265438 yuan +06 yuan /4-person bamboo raft. It sells tickets by bamboo raft, and the price is the same for less than 4 people. Usually, as soon as you arrive at Di Yang Pier, someone will sell you a bamboo raft trip. They sell by the head, generally 150 yuan/person. To remind you, Di Yang itself is open all day, but the drifting time is usually: 7: 00- 10: 30, 12: 00- 17: 00, which is because ships only need to pass by, 10: 30-65438. The bamboo raft ticket sold at the ticket office is a trip to the Lijiang River from Di Yang to Xingping. After landing in Xingping, I went to Yangshuo by bus. If you make a strong counter-offer, the Bamboo Raft Union will be annoyed, and may just take you to see the yellow cloth reflective area, which is the background of 20 yuan, and then dump you.

The specific tour of the Lijiang River can go to the "Lijiang Tour" in official website, the Lijiang Scenic Area in Guilin, China, or you can buy a boat ticket to visit the Lijiang River on this website.

Suggestion: If you travel the Lijiang River in winter and rainy days, it is recommended to travel by boat, and it is too cold to take a bamboo raft.
