An answer from someone who has lived in Guilin for five years~

In fact, if you want to visit the highlights of Guilin and Yangshuo, you only need three days. If not, then choose Yangshuo~

You may have heard that "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world", but many people may not have heard of "Yangshuo's landscape is the best in Guilin", so you have to choose between Guilin and Yangshuo If you have one, choose Yangshuo! Because the best attractions in Guilin are concentrated in Yangshuo!

Inventory of the highlights of Yangshuo:

1. Li River (Xingping to Jiuma)

You can travel on the Li River from downtown Guilin to Yangshuo, but it only takes The highlight of the tour is Duan Xingping to Jiuma. Take a bus to Yangshuo Xingping Pier and take a bamboo raft to visit the most beautiful section of the Li River. The boat sailing in the river is like opening a wonderful landscape painting in front of you. You can truly experience the beautiful Li River wonderland of "the boat is walking in the river and the people are swimming in the painting". ; Taking a boat trip along the Li River, you can see the reflections of the strange peaks, clear water and green mountains, shepherd boys singing, fishermen fishing leisurely, quaint pastoral homes, and fresh breathing - everything is so poetic and picturesque.

3. Yulong River

Yulong River is known as the "Little Li River". The scenery is also super beautiful, and bamboo rafting is really interesting. The bamboo rafting on the Yulong River will have about ten water level drops. It is fun and exciting, and it is not inferior to the beauty of the Li River!

The above three are the scenic spots that I personally think are very beautiful in Yangshuo, so if you are short of time, Yangshuo is definitely the first choice.

Only children make choices, but I want them all~

As the saying goes, "Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world, and Yangshuo's landscapes are the best in Guilin." Since we are here, why not play together? If time It’s compact, why not take a look at my three-day trip to Guilin + Yangshuo~

Due to limited space, the detailed route and scenic spots have been introduced. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or leave a message ~

Choose Yangshuo without hesitation. Regarding whether to go to Elephant Trunk Mountain or not, it doesn’t matter if you are here and have time to go see it. After all, it is a 5A scenic spot and you can guess what the scenery inside is like with a ticket of 55 yuan.

But Yangshuo is different. Yangshuo’s landscape should be the most essential part of Guilin’s landscape.

For example, the Xingping Ancient Town in Yangshuo has a 20-yuan background map and Jiuma Painting Mountain. Although the scenery is beautiful, there is no admission fee.

The most convenient transportation to Xingping Ancient Town is to take the train to Yangshuo Station, and then take a bus outside Yangshuo Station to Xingping Ancient Town. The fare is 5 yuan and you can reach Xingping in ten minutes. Ping Ancient Town is a five-minute walk to the Xingping Ancient Town Pier. Here you can take a cruise on the Li River, walk to the 20-yuan scenic spot and Jiu Ma Painting Mountain, or rent a motorcycle from a local resident to go to Jiu Ma Painting Mountain. , the walk takes about 1.5 hours. The 20 RMB real scene is very close to the pier. If you don’t plan to go to Jiu Ma Painting Mountain, walk across the bridge and then walk a few hundred meters to reach the scenic spot. Please note that there is no admission fee for the 20 RMB background picture real scene and Jiu Ma Hua Mountain. Yes, don't be fooled. Visitors to Jiuma Painting Mountain can also choose to go to Xianggong Mountain after visiting Jiuma Painting Mountain. I heard it is very beautiful, but due to the inconvenience of transportation, it seems that you need to take a local car to go there. The local motorcycle fee is 50 yuan. So I didn't go there. I watched the videos and photos taken by tourists who went to Xianggong Mountain. In fact, it was the scenery of Jiuma Painting Mountain that I saw from a high place. It was indeed beautiful. Note that Xianggong Mountain is a scenic spot that charges tickets.

In addition to Xingping Ancient Town, Yangshuo also has Shili Gallery, which is most worth visiting. The most comfortable place to visit in Yangshuo is that Shili Gallery does not charge tickets. You can rent local motorcycles and bicycles to visit Shili Gallery, and it takes a day on the bicycle. The price is ten yuan, and the electric bicycle is twenty yuan a day. You only need to pay a deposit of one hundred yuan and leave your phone number. No ID card is required.

There are many paid scenic spots on both sides of Shili Gallery, but the prices are generally very cheap. I went to Moon Mountain Park in Shili Gallery. The ticket is 11 yuan, and there are very few tourists in Moon Mountain Park, most of them are foreigners. The only drawback for tourists is that the climbing stairs in the scenic area are very difficult to walk.

There are many things to do in Shili Gallery for tourists. Bamboo rafting is probably the most common one. You can also take a helicopter tour to Shili Gallery, ride horses, etc. Tourists who have time and money can enjoy Yangshuo to the fullest. Good times.

Regarding Guilin rice noodles, I think it is just a local specialty and not as amazing as the self-media said.

When traveling to Guilin, I think you don’t have to go to Xiangshan Park (the scenic spot where Elephant Trunk Mountain is located), but you must go to Yangshuo.

Although it only takes 3-4 days to enjoy Guilin and Yangshuo, if you must choose, go to Yangshuo! After all, "Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world, and Yangshuo's landscapes are the best in Guilin." Most of Guilin's best attractions are in Yangshuo~

Rafting on the Yulong River is a unique rafting experience. The bamboo raft master's operating skills are like assembly line operations, creating a unique scenery of its own. Every time I pass the water level, my heart beats wildly.

Yinziyan, with its unique stalactite landscape and strange-shaped stones glowing with golden light, feels the joy of "never lacking money in life"~

Utopia is exactly what Tao Yuanming wrote " "Peach Blossom Spring", even the way to enter the paradise is quite special. Take a boat through the dark cave entrance, and suddenly you will see the peach blossoms, green plants and houses on both sides of the bank in front of you.

......

Of course there are many scenic spots worth visiting, just waiting for you to experience them yourself~

But for those who are not familiar with the local area, it is more It is recommended that you join some semi-self-guided tours, which are convenient for picking up and dropping off at the bus station, and you have time to travel freely, which is comfortable

If you have any questions, you can leave me a message~

Guilin is famous all over the world for the saying "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world". As we all know, Guilin has amazing mountains, beautiful rocks, and clear water. When rafting on the Li River, there is an illusion that people are swimming in the painting.

Everyone in the world knows that Guilin’s landscape is unrivaled in the world, but little does anyone know that the essence of Guilin lies in Yangshuo County. Yangshuo County is a county under the jurisdiction of Guilin. It is the essence of Guilin's landscape. Yangshuo is also known as the most beautiful county in China.

In Yangshuo, there are many famous scenic spots, such as: Shili Gallery, Li River Scenic Area, Yulong River Ecological Park, Xingping Ancient Town, Paradise, Eternal Scenery Area, Yangshuo West Street, Xianggong Mountain Scenic Area, and Totem Ancient Road , Tianlai Butterfly Spring, Big Banyan Tree Scenic Area, Moon Mountain Scenic Area, Impression Liu Sanjie, Yangshuo West Street and many other beautiful scenic spots.

If you must choose a travel destination between Guilin and Yangshuo, choosing Yangshuo is undoubtedly the best choice.

In fact, in downtown Guilin, the only famous scenic spots are Elephant Trunk Mountain, Jingjiang Royal City, Two Rivers and Four Lakes, etc. They cannot be compared with Yangshuo at all. It can be said that if you don’t visit the Great Wall, you are not a hero, and if you go to Yangshuo Know Guilin.

This question is not valid. It only takes 3 to 4 days to travel to Guilin and Yangshuo. If you can only choose one of the two, it would be better if you just sleep at home. Many people used to say: Guilin has the best scenery in the world, and Yangshuo has the best scenery in Guilin. In fact, Yangshuo is just a county in Guilin. Traveling to Guilin actually includes Yangshuo. Of course, Guilin and Yangshuo have their own characteristics. Guilin has three rivers and four lakes, including scenic spots such as Elephant Trunk Mountain, Fubo Mountain and Reed Cliff. Yangshuo mainly has scenic spots along the Li River, Yulong River and Shili Gallery. Yangshuo West Street is worth visiting. However, in recent years, the atmosphere has changed. The commercial atmosphere is too strong and it is no different from the pedestrian streets in other places. Now the Shili Gallery is closed and charging fees. This is a common problem in China's tourism industry. In addition, various places force tourists to consume and rip off customers, making many tourists afraid of buying them. Nowadays, there are indeed huge crowds of people during holidays. Some people say: You don’t have to come, but you don’t have to worry about no one coming. This idea is extremely wrong! Nowadays, many people have begun to travel abroad. Tourist attractions abroad basically do not charge any fees, and even the fees are very low. Foreign tourism income mainly depends on tourists' accommodation, food and shopping, rather than on tickets. If the tickets to a scenic spot are too expensive, tourists will not dare to come a second time. China's current concept of tourism will eventually suffer.

If time is really tight, it is still recommended to choose Yangshuo.

There are two places you must go to when traveling in Guilin. One is Xiangshan Park in Guilin City, which is the Elephant Trunk Mountain in primary school textbooks. There is another place that is the 20 yuan background of Yangshuo Xingping Pier.

If I had to choose one, I would choose Yangshuo. The landscape of Xingping in Yangshuo is more spiritual and can more fully reflect the beauty of the integration of mountains and water in Guilin. If the weather is foggy, it is so beautiful that it can make you scream and make you intoxicated and not want to leave. At the same time, Yangshuo Xingping is the most worthwhile tourist attraction for everyone.

Yangshuo also has more attractions than Guilin city. A one-day travel route can be arranged like this. In the morning, we went to Xingping. After playing in Xingping, we returned to Yangshuo and rented a bicycle to ride to Yulong River. From March to April, there is a huge field of rapeseed flowers in Yulong River, which is a rare place for tourism and photography.

You can also make a bamboo raft from the middle section of the Yulong River to the lower reaches. After swimming the Yulong River, you can almost return to the county town for dinner. After dinner, you can choose to watch "Impression of Liu Sanjie" or go Eternal love. Then there is West Street. The day basically ends like this. The time arrangement is not tight and I have enough time to take pictures and play, but I am just a little tired.

I am Brother Papi, focusing on introducing detailed travel routes in Guilin. Welcome to Yangshuo

First of all, I want to popularize it for you. Yangshuo is a county in Guilin, so your problem does not exist.

But, I can understand your question from another angle. According to legend: Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world, and Yangshuo's scenery is the best in Guilin. In fact, it has been pointed out that the landscape scenery in Yangshuo is very beautiful, and the most beautiful landscapes in Guilin are in the Yangshuo area, but there is another good reputation that is also passed down from generation to generation in Yangshuo. That is: the scenery of Yangshuo is in Xingping. Therefore, the best of Yangshuo’s landscapes lies in Xingping. There are famous 20 yuan RMB background filming locations here, as well as Jiuma Painting Mountain, Xianggong Mountain, Laozhai Mountain, etc. Xingping Old Street now looks like West Street 20 years ago, very quaint. A very beautiful town

So, I think your question should be clear at this point, right?

If you can only choose one, then choose Yangshuo. Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world, and Yangshuo's landscapes are the best in Guilin.

Yangshuo’s West Street, Yulong River Xingping Ancient Town can take in all the picturesque scenery in a short time.

The appearance of the Li River in Guilin and the Yangshuo section are completely different concepts. If you have to choose, you must go to Yangshuo. That is how the Guilin landscape will look like in your dream, just like an ink painting.

If you only go to Guilin, you will think that Guilin’s landscape is nothing more than this.

If you go to Yangshuo, you will feel that Guilin’s landscape is well-deserved.

When people mention Guilin, the first thing they think of is the scenery of the Li River. If you don’t visit the Li River, you haven’t visited Guilin. The most beautiful scenery of the Li River happens to be the section from Guilin to Yangshuo. Yangshuo is well-known in the world: Guilin's scenery is the best in the world, and Yangshuo's scenery is the best in Guilin. If you are short of time, then go rafting on the Li River. Go to Guilin and take a cruise to Yangshuo for a one-day trip, where you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the Li River. In one day, you can see all the major attractions in both places. Why bother.
