On the bank of the Li River, you can directly see the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas, which provides an excellent shooting angle. You don’t have to squeeze through the crowd downstairs to find a suitable shooting spot.
It's far from the scenic spot, and there's no landscape around. The business is OK. In addition, the room has a very obvious musty smell, which is a bad feeling. If you don't want to bother, just stay for one night. Suggestions for everyone: If you are on a business trip, it is recommended to consider staying near the station for convenient travel. If you are traveling, you can consider staying by the Li River.

Downtown/Elephant Trunk Hill/Two Rivers And Four Lakes | 1.8 km from downtown
Address: 安心南路安新路11号-610栋桂林俏CIAO酒店7楼

The hotel design is very comfortable. I especially love the huge bathroom, which is milky white and very clean. It is divided into a shower area and a bathtub. There is no need to wait for the double sink. The service is also very good. There are snacks in the room, free drinks in the refrigerator, and a butler who can respond to questions in time.
I don't drink often, I came here to relax and enjoy the night view. The set meal has side dishes, but I feel that it doesn't match the cocktails, but the taste is okay. There are not many people, maybe we came early, but the environment is good, recommended!

The environment is beautiful and the whole process is very pleasant, with friendly and considerate service
The little bear 🐻 just sat alone in front of the door. The light just hit the little bear's face. The atmosphere was full.
🌿 I walked in and found that the interior was decorated very uniquely. The whole store is dark green in style. There is not only a bar with various foreign wines, but also a bookcase. I asked the boss and found out that this store is a ☕ coffee shop in the morning and a small bar in the evening.
🏙️ There are not many people on weekdays. I found a corner by the window and sat down, listening to music 🎶 and having a drink.
🔹 Osmanthus craft beer
Now is the season when osmanthus flowers are in full bloom. Walking on the road in Guilin, you can often smell the faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers. Perhaps influenced by the smell, I ordered a bunch of osmanthus craft beer 🍻 The fragrance of osmanthus is mixed with the slight intoxication of beer. Traveling alone can actually be very comfortable.

#Meet the World Again #2023年第一旅行 #How to Play in Guilin
Guilin was crowded during the Chinese New Year, and everyone went to some bars that were promoted a lot on social media. You really have to walk through a long path to find this one, and it would be more wonderful to hold your loved one's hand.
Guilin locals like the niche bars in residential buildings, quiet bars, tipsy bars, and communities.
The old factory building was renovated and is very suitable for a photo studio. It feels like the boss opened the store to satisfy his own feelings. You can come here for a drink with friends, and there are big-screen movies, and the music played is also very tipsy.
Last time I came during the day, it was closed. This time I finally found a chance to have a drink at night. The craft beer in the store is satisfactory to non-drinkers.
I hope to have a drink with my good friends next time, but maybe it will be next year, and we will all go to other cities to fight.
This store can also carry some memories.
The locals are surprised to find this store, so come and explore it! I really recommend it! It looks very much like a Beijing subculture bar. Guilin is really lucky to have such a bar.

✨A wonderful experience of gazing out the window at the mountains and waters
Every morning, I wake up to the breathtaking beauty of the Li River 🌫️
From the floor-to-ceiling windows, I can see Elephant Trunk Hill, the Two Rivers and Four Lakes.
In the evening, 🌇watch the sunset gild the mountaintops. It's like living in a painting. 🎨
