Guilin's Two Rivers, Four Lakes, and Elephant Mountain Scenic Area comprises the "Two Rivers" (Li River and Taohua River), the "Four Lakes" (Gui Lake, Rong Lake, Shan Lake, and Mulong Lake), and the "Three Mountains" (Elephant Mountain, Diecai Mountain, and Fubo Mountain). Its unique character is characterized by the saying, "Thousands of peaks stand in the wilderness, a river flows around the city." The scenery is within the city, and the city is within the scenery.
The Two Rivers, Four Lakes, and Elephant Mountain Scenic Area integrates natural scenery with historical culture.
Elephant Mountain, resembling an elephant drinking from the Li River, serves as Guilin's city emblem.
Fubo Mountain, a beautiful peak in Guilin, is named after General Ma Yuan, who was stationed there during the Han Dynasty and practiced sword-cutting.
Diecai Mountain, known as "the place where rivers and mountains meet," offers panoramic views of Guilin's landscape.
The waterways of the Two Rivers and Four Lakes form a water system around the city that rivals the beauty of Venice. Take a nighttime boat tour of the Two Rivers and Four Lakes • Xiangshan Scenic Area. Enveloped in dazzling lights, the mountains, waters, gardens, and cityscape evoke a dreamlike, ethereal, and elegant atmosphere.
Here, you can savor the breathtaking beauty of "Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world" and experience the sentiment, "I'd rather be a Guilin resident than a god."
Guilin "Two Rivers and Four Lakes" scenic area is a classic water system landscape in the downtown area of Guilin. It connects the Lijiang River, Taohua River and Mulong Lake, Guihu Lake, Wuhu Lake and Shanhu Lake, forming a city-circle water system, known as "Venice of the East". The following comments are made from multiple angles: ###🌟 Core highlights 1. **Night view**When the Hualantern first came on, the Sun and Moon Twin Towers (Shanhu Lake), Crystal Bridge (Wuhu Lake) and other buildings reflected the water under the lights, and the night tour by boat was particularly shocking, which was the essence of Guilin's night view. 2. **Humanities and nature blend** - Along the way, you can see the ancient city wall of the Song Dynasty (Mulong Lake), the millennium ancient temple (Wuhu) and other historical relics - modern landscapes such as glass bridges (Wuhu) and traditional landscapes are interesting 3. **Variety of tour methods** -**Cruise boat** (recommended night tour): The whole journey is about 90 minutes, there is an explanation -**Hiking/cycling**: The trail around the lake is free and open, suitable for deep exploration -**Sun and Moon Twin Towers climb**: 35 yuan/person, overlooking the panoramic view of the city###⚠️ Note-**Commercialization is obvious**: some regional shops Dense, night cruise tickets are slightly more expensive (about 210 yuan/person) - **Day view is flat**: Day view is more ordinary during the day, it is recommended to choose night tour first- **Holiday crowded**: Golden Week boat rides need to be reserved in advance 2-3 day reservation ### 📍 Practical suggestions - **Best route**: Wenchangqiao Wharf → Elephant Trunk Hill → Sun and Moon Twin Towers → Ancient South Gate → Mulong Lake - **Free play**: Take a walk on the Heshan Lake trail (recommended 19:00-21:00 light show time) - **Surrounding linkage**: You can arrange a half-day tour in combination with Zhengyang Pedestrian Street, Dongxi Alley and other business districts### Summarize the two rivers and four lakes to show Guilin perfectly The characteristics of "city in the scenery, scenery in the city" are relatively commercial, but their night view and humanistic heritage are still worth experiencing. It is recommended to hike in the evening to experience the free area, and then choose to take a boat in-depth tour, and you can better experience the artistic conception of "thousand peaks around the wild, one water holding the city flow".

Every time I go to Nanning, I have to go to this place. It is very big. This time I took a tour bus to take a general look. Last time I walked and climbed the mountain downstairs. It was very beautiful. I met a person from Guangxi who was very enthusiastic and introduced the scenery inside.
Qingxiu Mountain is truly worth the price of admission, with its lush greenery. If you weren't visiting in July or August, it would have been a truly relaxing experience. The scenic area is vast, and you can't explore it all in a single day, so you can only choose to visit the attractions you like. There are many one-way sightseeing buses connecting the area, but you'll need to purchase a ticket to get off and then board. This fee may be higher than the entrance fee, depending on the attractions you choose. Overall, it's a great experience and worth visiting.

The magnificent dragon ridge terraces are picturesque and beautiful. It is like a colorful picture, which makes people linger. Every field is carefully carved and scattered, and stretches from the foot of the mountain to the top, like a dragon circling. Here, you can feel the magic and magnificence of nature, and you can also experience the beauty of the harmony between man and nature.
The owner's service attitude is very dedicated. We arrived at midnight for check-in, and the owner waited and came down to help with our luggage. When I woke up in the morning, the view outside the window was pleasant. The room was very clean and tidy. I wiped it again with a tissue and there was no dust at all. The breakfast tasted really good (the sour beans and rice noodles are highly recommended, they are delicious. I am from Guangdong and have a light taste). It was very rich, and the restaurant also faces the terraced rice fields. There are a few minor issues. The soundproofing in the room is not very good. The air conditioner makes a noise when it runs, and the air in the room is a bit stuffy and smelly. I recommend adding some aromatherapy to remove the odor.

It's good to bring children to play, and there are many activities arranged in the whole scenic area. However, there are a few projects that are not allowed for people under 1.4 meters. Also, don't book tickets through Ctrip. Not only are the prices high, but they also find scalpers, which is equivalent to subcontracting layers of seats. The seats arranged are at the edge, and the performance is very bad.

The park is large and has a wide variety of attractions. The weather was a bit hot during the summer, and the park's heat relief measures were average. Many of the scenery is beautiful and photogenic! The wait times for the attractions were also acceptable. It's definitely a worthwhile amusement park!
We went there a little late because of the rain, otherwise we could have played longer. Some outdoor activities were suspended due to the rain and we didn't have enough time. Next time I come, I must allow enough time for a day.

Beihai Silver Beach is a tourist destination worthy of its reputation! The 24-kilometer coastline is endless, and the fine white sand is glittering in the sun. The seawater here is pure, the waves are gentle and there are no sharks. Whether you are walking on the beach or experiencing water activities such as surfing and windsurfing, it is very pleasant. In the evening, the setting sun dyes the sea surface orange-red, which contrasts with the clouds in the sky, and is as beautiful as a fairyland. Coupled with the music fountain light show of the "Chao" sculpture, it is simply intoxicating and unforgettable.
The salty smell of the sea breeze 🎉 Beihai Silver Beach, a national AAAA-level scenic spot, is known as "Beidaihe in the South and Hawaii in the East".
The beach here is long and flat, with a wide and flat 24-kilometer coastline and a gentle slope, allowing you to stroll and run to your heart's content. The sand is fine and white, and the beach formed by the accumulation of high-grade quartz sand is as delicate as powder, white and flawless. It shines silver under the sun, like a dreamland. The water temperature is clean, with an average annual water temperature of 23.7℃. You can swim in the sea for 10 months. There is no industrial pollution in the sea area, and the water quality exceeds the average coastal standard by more than one times. The waves are soft and the waves are gentle and soothing. It is a natural beach where you can swim in the sea without worries. The air is fresh, rich in iodine, magnesium chloride, etc., and has a high content of negative ions. It is a "natural oxygen bar".
In addition, there is Asia's largest laser music fountain and a giant sculpture "Chao", and the multimedia show every night is magnificent. Whether it is a family trip, a date or a gathering with friends, Beihai Silver Beach is an excellent choice. Come here and leave beautiful memories.

Overall, the experience was quite good. The ancient town still retains its tranquil atmosphere, and the scenery and culture are still remarkable. The boat ride was 20 yuan per person, and the kids enjoyed it. A sightseeing bus dropped us off at the door, which was very considerate even in the hot weather. However, the entrance fee is indeed not cheap, and since the town is not very large, we were able to explore it in about two hours.
This ancient town is really good. It is much more interesting and beautiful than other ancient towns. I went to the Millennium Yao Village the day before and received a bad review. I came to Huangyao Ancient Town and received a good review. It is suitable for family travel, the things inside are not expensive, and the environment is comfortable.

Hidden in the depths of the mountains, Chengyang Bazhai is like a classical ink painting. This is a typical Yi village with well-preserved Yi architecture and rich folk customs. Walking through Yang Bazhai, you can appreciate the simple hanging tower, the spectacular drum tower group and the unique Yi culture, which makes people seem to travel through time and space and return to that distant era.
I went there the morning before Chinese New Year, and it was quite quiet, perhaps because they were preparing for the performances that would take place that afternoon and evening. Still, it was relatively quiet, so I didn't have to crowd around for photos. The area itself is well-maintained, not too commercial. Highly recommended.

Walking into the First Port of the Maritime Silk Road, it seems like traveling back to the ancient port of the Han Dynasty two thousand years ago. The First Port Square is open, and the ancient castle of the First Port in the distance is magnificent, like a watcher traveling through time and space. Strolling in the quaint streets and alleys, there are buildings that combine Chinese and Western styles on both sides. The Han style and rhyme are full of exotic customs, as if every brick and stone is telling the story of the Maritime Silk Road.
Along the coastline to the Mangrove Egret Coast, the more than 500-meter coastline is shaded by trees and egrets are dancing. Stepping onto the Tung Blossom Tree Seaside Plank Road, there is clear sea water under your feet and continuous mangroves in the distance, as if you are in a natural oxygen bar. The sea breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of salty sea flavor, which makes people intoxicated.
As night falls, the panoramic interactive performance "Song of Water and Fire" of the First Port of the Maritime Silk Road kicks off. The actors dressed in ancient costumes shuttled through the docks, streets, and squares, recreating the prosperity of the Han Dynasty port in the form of close-up drama. I interacted with the actors at the dock, boarded an exotic merchant ship, and felt the bustle and prosperity of the ancient port. The fireworks show and bonfire dance lit up the night sky, as if returning to the prosperous era when merchants gathered and ships traveled.
The first port of the Maritime Silk Road not only has beautiful scenery, but also delicious food. In the quaint shops on the street, there are a variety of delicious snacks that make people salivate. Here, I not only felt the charm of the Maritime Silk Road culture, but also experienced a feast of vision and taste.
The Maritime Silk Road Port Scenic Area is located in Yanlou Village, Lianzhou Town, Hepu County, Beihai City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region[1].
The Maritime Silk Road Port Scenic Area is centered on "one line and four areas", integrating Maritime Silk Road cultural experience, panoramic interactive performances, leisure tourism and vacation, and ecological tourism, showing a variety of cultural and entertainment activities. Here, tourists can visit the historical relics of Hepu's departure port and feel the glory of the Han Dynasty Maritime Silk Road; stroll along the red forest and egret coast to appreciate the beauty of natural ecology; climb up to Xihai Pavilion to enjoy the magnificent sunset; and participate in interactive projects such as the seaside market and parent-child beach park to experience the fun of coastal life. The five major tourist areas in the scenic area have their own characteristics, and the creative and rich land and sea tourism projects make tourists linger. It is a diversified tourist destination full of cultural charm and entertainment experience.
