I've heard that Guilin's landscape is the best in the world since I was a child, but I've never seen it. As a song goes, money means no time. When you have time, you have no money. Now is finally the time to have money and time. Beautiful Guilin, I will come!
September 5, Shenzhen-Guilin
Arrive in Guilin at 6: 40 in the morning, take a taxi to the hotel contacted in advance, check in, put down your luggage, and then go around Xiangbi Mountain recommended by Zheng Xiao. Originally, we were going to play in the park. Zheng Xiao told us that there was nothing in it and the tickets were expensive, so it was the same when we went out. So the husband and wife wanted to look outside, and we went to Shanshan Lake Scenic Area, where there are two towers. Look at the introduction One is the sun tower, and the other is the moon tower, collectively known as the twin towers of the sun and the moon. There is also a bronze statue of the ancients outside (who forgot it specifically, hehe). Mom said we were tired from walking, so we went back to rest. It was so hot at noon that my mother didn't want to go out, so she ordered takeout and ate our lunch while the air conditioner was blowing in the hotel. Take the two rivers and four lakes recommended by Zheng Xiao at night, and the scenery is not bad. Although it is artificial, it is still good. There is also a street on Zhongshan Road recommended by Zheng Xiao, which is really good, distinctive and full of things. In this way, you can buy local products of Guilin, and the price is relatively cheap.

September 6 Guilin-Xingping
Sleep until 10 and get up in the morning. Go to the Shiji rice noodle shop opposite Smile Hall to taste Guilin rice noodles (introduced by Zheng Xiao, a more authentic rice noodle shop in Guilin). It's delicious. We ate completely different things in Shenzhen. Authentic is authentic. After eating rice noodles, go back to the hotel to check out. I was going to catch the through train from 1 1 Guilin to Xingping, but my mother wanted to buy some daily necessities. We decided to put our luggage at the front desk to buy things, take a bus from Guilin to Xingping at 2: 00 pm to buy things, and get on the bus at the gate of Lianfa Hotel at 1: 40 pm. At 2 o'clock, the whole car starts, and they will send messages to tell Zheng Xiao our car number. The bus from Guilin to Xingping doesn't stop all the way as we thought. Like the shuttle bus in Yangshuo, they will pick up guests on the way, but it is still more convenient than taking a bus in Yangshuo. After 2 hours and 20 minutes, we finally arrived at Xingping Station. As soon as we got off the bus, we saw many aunts and sisters coming around and asking if we wanted to take a bamboo raft. Then a young man with glasses came up and asked if we were Mr. Wang. This is Zheng Xiao. After the inspection, we got on Zheng Xiao's tricycle. On the way to their home, we passed the best shooting spot on 20 yuan Road. After taking some photos, we went on to their home. Two minutes later, we arrived at Zheng Xiao's home, a big building with blue-gray stone railings. His mother greeted us kindly and said that the journey was hard. Zheng Xiao helped us with our luggage and took us to our room. Wow, 3065438. Take a nap, order dinner, order the local chicken that everyone praised online, half-stewed and half-boiled soup, beer fish, Lijiang snail and a Chinese cabbage.
Zhu Xingping Lijiang Guan Jing Building (Xiaozhengjia)
On September 7th, visit the Lijiang River Xingping-Di Yang round trip.
Get up at 6: 00 a.m./kloc-0: 00 a.m. and get on the bamboo raft at 6: 30 a.m. Under the slow control of Master Zheng Xiao, our raft set sail slowly. The Lijiang River is very quiet in the morning. We were alone on the bamboo raft, and the sound of the motor tooting was very clear. It's so quiet to stop at the scenic spot. The clear reflection and beautiful morning light are incomparable experiences for visiting the Lijiang River at night. Our drifting section from Xingping to Di Yang and then to Xingping is about 30 kilometers, which is the essence of online Lijiang River tourism and the most beautiful section of Lijiang River. According to Master Zheng Xiao, the six scenic spots of the Lijiang River are all here, Di Yang. We are very much looking forward to it. Master Zheng Xiao said, you don't have to worry. I'll tell you the details slowly. It was quiet in the morning before the big ship from Guilin came. The Lijiang River is clear and soothing, and the mountains on both sides are beautiful, showing different postures such as dolphins, turtles, old people and lovers. From time to time, a group of egrets fly over the river, which is very beautiful. When diving, I saw a buffalo eating aquatic plants, which was very pleasant. Since we are free to travel, we agreed with Master Zheng Xiao that we should take our time and play slowly, thus floating on the water and slowly going downstream, making people feel the passage of time. Master Zheng Xiao is not only an excellent service worker, but also a professional photographer. He gave us a clear introduction to each scenic spot. Every beautiful scenic spot will stop to take pictures for us, and he will tell us where and from what angle to take the most beautiful scenic spots, which makes us very moved. After more than 40 minutes, the beautiful Nine Horses Painting Mountain appeared in front of us. Master Zheng Xiao sang a ballad for us: "Look at Ma Lang, look at Ma Lang and ask how many pairs of horses you have. You can see nine champions if you look at seven horses. " Speaking of which, our children can't help getting off the raft and starting to count. They really want to be number one. He went on to say, in fact, you can't see nine horses when painting a mountain with nine horses, because there are still two horses not on the mountain, one is a pioneer horse, so you can't see it, and the other is a backward horse, chasing after it. In fact, as long as Premier Zhou Enlai sees nine horses, he becomes the prime minister. Ha ha. . . All these were said by Master Zheng Xiao, who taught us more knowledge. After a short rest, we continued to take a raft and blend in with the beautiful scenery of Lijiang River. Slowly, the world's beautiful scenery, waves, misty rain and Di Yang Waterfall all appeared before our eyes. When I came back, Master Zheng specially looked at the most beautiful scenic spot in the river, with 20 yuan as the background. Let's quickly compare the 20 yuan prepared in advance. Wow, it's beautiful ... so realistic. At this time, I found that my ability to express beauty was too weak and I became clumsy. Here, we are very grateful to Master Zheng Xiao, because his wonderful explanation and warm service have given me a better understanding of Lijiang River.
Yangshuo bus station is the same as Xingping. As soon as we got off the bus, the locals immediately gathered around to introduce the hotel and arrange tours. I talked with an indomitable tour guide about the arrangement of Yinziyan and the rafting on the Yulong River. His quotation is much more expensive than what Zheng arranged for us. We ignored him, asked for directions to get off and went to the hotel opened by Zheng's father and classmates. In the evening, I went to eat beer fish recommended by Sister Peng online. Swordfish is brewed with beer fish, snail, eggplant, medlar soup, shredded potatoes, pickles and beer. 80 yuan a catty of swordfish is much more expensive than that of Zheng Xiao. It's really pleasant to have a good meal and visit the West Street close at hand.
Check-in: Zheng Xiao's father and classmates' hotel.
September 8 Yangshuo-Guilin
In the morning, the raft worker introduced by Zheng Xiao came to pick us up for a swim. If the Lijiang River can be regarded as a good family, then the Yulong River is a small jasper. The same 360-degree landscape, Yulong River is quieter and fresher. Hehe, of course, it is not as domineering as the official ship of Lijiang River. The reflection of sparkling mountains in the water, the instant surprise of small dams, and clusters of graceful phoenix bamboos, we are all immersed in the beautiful scenery of Yulong River. Suddenly, from the old man's raft came the melodious folk song "Alas, what flowers have grown taller ~ ~ ~" by Master Raft. Hehe, the old master was chatting with the old man at home and actually performed. Unconsciously, two hours passed, and we reached the end of drifting at Gongnong Bridge, bid farewell to the masters and went ashore. Children with good digestion are also called to eat. On the way to Moon Mountain farmhouse meal, we passed the big banyan tree, which is said to be a thousand-year-old banyan tree. According to legend, it was left over from the Sui Dynasty. The circumference of the tree is more than 7 meters, the height is 17 meters, and the trees are flourishing, covering an area of 100 square meters, but the tickets are more expensive. Chinese food is in Tang Xiaomei's farmhouse, sitting on the second floor, overlooking the famous Moon Mountain. Hungry, soon, sweet bamboo shoots, Lijiang shrimp, landscape tofu, rattan vegetables and so on were easily eliminated by us. Half an hour later, we waited for a special bus to Yinziyan, Lipu, and visited the most famous cave in Guilin. After visiting Yinziyan, I am never short of money. Haha, the publicity of this scenic spot is quite attractive. In fact, I have also seen some caves, Yixing in Wuxi and Tonglu in Hangzhou, but Guilin is obviously more ingenious. Sometimes like waterfalls, sometimes like Optimus Prime, some like mice, some like umbrellas, lifelike, and even more magical pools like mirrors under lava look like abyss, which makes people feel scared. At first glance, it is just a shallow pool of water, which makes people sigh and marvel. The whole hole goes downstream 1 hour or so, which is really good. I went back to Guilin, had a rest, and ate something casually in the street at night.

One-day trip to Yan Guan in Gudong on September 9th.
According to Zheng Xiao's wife, this one-day tour is for the tour guide to meet people at the hotel from 7: 30 to 8: 30 in the morning. We pick them up at 8: 00, right in the middle. After everyone came to pick them up, we went to Yan Guan Scenic Area to play first. When we arrived in Yan Guan, we first went in by car. The cave inside is very big and there are many ways to play. We will take the train for a while and take the boat for a while. This cave is a brand-new experience of land, sea and air. Compared with Yinziyan, it has its own characteristics. After lunch, I began to visit the climbable waterfall-Gudong Waterfall (introduced by the tour guide). This scenic spot is very distinctive. There are climbable waterfalls in it, and there are some things that can be expanded on the mountain. Every step down the mountain is engraved with the explanation of Guilin local dialect and Putonghua. Because my mother and they are too old to climb the waterfall, I take the children to climb, and my wife is with my parents.
After returning to Guilin at 5 pm, the hotel rested and went to Beiguo Village on the pedestrian street for dinner at 7 pm. The taste is ok. After drinking enough wine, I visited Zhongshan Road Night Market, bought some Guilin specialties and returned to the hotel.

September 10 Guilin-Shenzhen
Get up in the morning and continue to eat rice noodles in Shiji rice noodles. Today, everyone added a marinated egg, which was full. Hehe, I went back to Shenzhen by train this afternoon.
It is strongly recommended that you stay in Xingping and get up in the morning to swim in the Lijiang River, so that you can truly blend in with nature. Experience the beauty of Lijiang River.
