The editor was fortunate enough to go to Guilin last month and see how beautiful Guilin’s landscape is. Guilin's landscapes are beautiful and there are many scenic spots.

The Lijiang River is like a green silk ribbon, winding between thousands of peaks and mountains, with strange peaks on the banks, lingering blue water, cut walls and rivers, green mountains and floating water, and the beautiful scenery is like a hundred-mile scroll. Taking a boat trip along the Li River, you can see the reflections of the strange peaks, the clear water and green mountains, the shepherd boys singing, the fishermen fishing, the quaint pastoral homes, and the fresh breath. Everything is so poetic and picturesque.

The Nine Horse Painting Mountain Scenic Area is a tourist attraction on the edge of the Li River. It stands near the river, with carved stone walls and charming scenery. The canyon rafting at the foot of Jiu Ma Painting Mountain is one of the best in the world. The Li River is 300 meters away. The unique rafting river design makes tourists feel like they are in a wonderland and swimming in a painting.

Xingping Fishing Village is located on the Lijiang River. It was built in 1506 AD. It is said that Xingpingwei high-ranking officials moved here to choose a valuable place. The houses in the village are similar to the ancient architectural styles of Wei, with blue bricks and black tiles, sloping roofs, horse-head walls, cornices, painted buildings, carved windows, row upon row, unique structures, and typical characteristics of northern Guangxi folk houses in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, dating back nearly 500 years. Years of history, it is still well preserved.

If the Lijiang River is compared to a "lady's lady", then the Yulong River is a heart-thumping "little family's jade". The peaks on both sides of the Yulong River are graceful and winding, with undulating shapes and various shapes. The river banks are covered with green grass, lush green bamboos and shady trees. The water of Yulong River is like green emerald, clear and translucent. You can see the fish swimming leisurely and the water rafts swaying one by one. The breeze blew across the water, causing ripples, like notes played by a violin, quietly and gently.

The main landscape in the Xiangshan scenic spot, Elephant Trunk Hill, is named after its resemblance to an elephant. Elephant Trunk Hill is located at the confluence of the Li River and Taohua River in Guilin City. It was established in 1995 because of its unique mountain shape and long history. It was selected as the city emblem of Guilin in 2007.

In 2016, Elephant Trunk Mountain in the Two Rivers and Four Lakes·Elephant Mountain Scenic Area was selected as the venue for the southern branch of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 2017.

Another must-eat when visiting Guilin is Guilin rice noodles. Guilin rice noodles are a traditional snack with a long history in Guilin, Guangxi. Only rice noodles from Guilin City are the most authentic. They don’t taste good outside Guilin, because the rice noodles are produced by the manufacturer that morning, and the taste will not be right after being sent to other places for a long time.
