1, Lijiang River
At all times, this place has always been a place with countless surprises and praises. It has the most beautiful natural water system in the world, attracting countless Chinese and foreign friends to travel and live here. It was highly praised by President Sun Yat-sen of the Republic of China and President Clinton of the United States. This is the scenery of Guilin. The color and beauty of the Lijiang River are endless, and we can only sum it up in one sentence: "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world"! The top ten tourist attractions in Guilin are Lijiang River.
The Lijiang River originates in Maoershan, Xing 'an, flows through Yangshuo County, Guilin City, and joins Gui Jiang in Pingle County. From Guilin to Yangshuo, 83 kilometers away, the beautiful and refined Lijiang River, like a winding jade belt, has become the largest and most beautiful karst scenic spot in the world-"Yangchuan is full of paintings" is the most appropriate description of it. Travel to Guilin, take a boat tour of Lijiang River, green hills, clear water, canoes, shepherds, ancient legends, quaint rural houses, fresh natural air-everything is so poetic.
2. Two Rivers and Four Lakes
This is Guilin's water system around the city, where there is the magnificent night of "Venice of the East", which is the scenic spot of Guilin's two rivers and four lakes. Traveling around the city by boat is like entering a huge landscape painting. There are pictures in the painting, scenery in the reflection and fun in it.
Guilin is a typical landscape city, and the natural landscape is the basic element of Guilin's urban landscape. The so-called "Two Rivers and Four Lakes Scenic Area" refers to the scenic belt around the city consisting of Lijiang River (urban part), taohuajiang, Longmu Lake, Gui Hu, Ronghu Lake and Shanshan Lake. "Narrow mountains will crush the city, wide rivers will float with the water" and "Ten thousand peaks will stand around the wild, and one water will hold the city and flow", which fully proves the beauty and grandeur of Guilin's integration of city and landscape.
3. Elephant trunk mountain
Elephant trunk mountain is named after the shape of the mountain resembles a giant elephant with its nose sticking out to absorb water, which is referred to as Xiangshan for short. It is magical and spectacular, with both form and spirit. The Shuiyue Cave made between the nose and feet looks like a bright moon near the water, which constitutes the wonder of "Xiangshan Shuiyue". Elephant trunk mountain is the symbol and emblem of Guilin.
4. West Street
West Street is a colorful hodgepodge, a blend of eastern and western cultures, and a blend of classical and modern life.
"Pengze Wuliu, a county flower, river, Yang River. How can two places be as good as Yangshuo, and people live in Lian Bi Peak? " As early as 1000 years ago in the Tang Dynasty, the poet Shen Bin envied the residents who lived at the top of Lian Bi. Nowadays, not only China people, but also foreigners flock to relax their tired body and mind.
Yangshuo West Street, also known as Foreigners Street, has a history of 1400 years. Up to now, West Street is still the building scale of southern villages and towns with a small family and jade, but it shows a humanistic landscape with international sentiment. The decoration styles of bars, restaurants, Internet cafes and arts and crafts painting and calligraphy shops here are mostly a combination of Chinese and Western styles. There are foreign language signs here. Waiters in handicraft shops, restaurants and bars, ordinary residents and even old ladies selling fruit on the street can speak fluent English, which makes West Street exotic. In every corner of West Street, you will often see three or five groups of tourists of different colors sitting around the street drinking beer, coffee, playing and chatting, as well as Chinese mothers and fathers of western European countries who are not restricted by local family planning, leading mixed-race children to play in the street.
In fact, visiting the West Street is a complete experience-her strong pastoral atmosphere is full of pure petty bourgeoisie sentiment, and the simple folk customs contain surprising international elements, such as Yangshuo people's favorite rice cake, authentic Italian coffee and western food, ancient Chinese painting, the most avant-garde leisure fashion, Mandarin, English, French, Italian and even Spanish ... all these seem impossible.
The people here, whether outsiders or locals, should be said to be a group of out-and-out "living people"; Everything here creates the most casual atmosphere for anyone passing by. So when you come to West Street, you only need to bring hundreds of books that you want to read but have no time to read carefully, CDs that you want to listen to but are not in the mood for the environment (it doesn't matter if you don't bring them, there must be something you like in West Street anyway), invite your closest friends, turn off your mobile phone and laptop and ask for a cup of coffee or tea, so that you can spend the most enjoyable time with beautiful scenery and music-"steal it for a few days" and you can stay here.
5. Impression of Sanjie Liu
Impression of Liu Sanjie, a large-scale landscape performance in Guilin, is the core project of Liu Sanjie's Gewei Scenic Spot in the beautiful Lijiang River. It is the first "landscape performance" with a brand-new concept in China, which combines the landscape of Lijiang River, Guangxi minority culture and the creation of domestic elite artists.
The performance stage consists of two kilometers of Lijiang River waters and twelve background peaks, which constitutes the largest natural theater in the world, and has enabled the largest environmental art lighting project and unique smoke effect project in China at present, creating a poetic and dreamlike visual effect. The sound of the theater adopts concealed design, which is integrated with the environment, and skillfully uses the shielding and echo of the peaks to form a natural three-dimensional effect. With the theme of "Impression of Liu Sanjie", the performance integrated Liu Sanjie's classic folk songs, Guangxi ethnic customs and Lijiang fishing fire into the landscape, successfully interpreted the harmonious relationship between man and nature, and created the realm of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, which was praised as "a masterpiece of cooperation with God". The performance lasted 60 minutes and there were more than 600 performers. The article is reproduced from the Lollipop Play World Sina Blog.
