The location is excellent, with a panoramic view of the Li River, and it is the best viewing platform for Elephant Trunk Hill. The set meal is large in quantity and tastes great. I recommend the steak medium rare! Qiaofeng’s housekeeper is handsome and kind, and his service attitude is perfect!
When I went to Guilin on a business trip, the local company specially arranged for us to have lunch at this restaurant. It has the best viewing platform for viewing the Elephant Trunk Hill. The view from the restaurant terrace several floors high is first-class. It was a windy and refreshing day. The autumn sun was not too strong, but the wind was a little strong. The restaurant is upstairs in the Jingxiang Hotel. We came here at noon on a weekday. There were not many guests, and we didn’t need to make reservations in advance. It may be more popular on weekends, or tourists don’t know that there is a view here, so it feels that not many tourists come here to eat. The outdoor scenery is really good, and there is a scenic spot in front of us, but the wind is strong, so we still choose to sit indoors. There are Chinese and Western food here, with many styles of dishes, and the products are also very good, with the level of star-rated hotels.
{Passion Juice Spare Ribs}, this is the first dish on the table, which also makes us shine. The spare ribs are served in a glass translucent container, contrary to the traditional plate. There is a lot of meat in the ribs, all of which are steaks. They taste OK, without the fishy smell of frozen bones. The passion fruit juice is moderate, the sweetness and sourness are just right, and there are black seeds of passion fruit as embellishment.
{Stir-fried beef fillet with chicken and mushrooms}, the portion of this dish is very good, there are a lot of beef fillets, usually beef is expensive, the portion will be a little less, but there is no cutting corners here. The ingredients are very fresh, the beef fillets are very tender, and the black pepper sauce is added, the taste is just right, and the black pepper taste is not too strong.
{Beer fish}, beer fish is a specialty of Guilin, and it is much more delicious than I thought, and much better than the usual street shops. The fish belly is chosen, so there are not many bones, and it is also convenient to eat. The taste of beer is only light, so you don’t have to worry about getting drunk.

After a long time of selection, I finally decided on a hotel. I liked their river view room and chose to stay for 2 consecutive nights.
After placing the order, the housekeeper immediately contacted me by phone and WeChat, and asked about the specific needs in detail. It was very attentive. The housekeeper was Xiaoshi, who reminded me of various benefits throughout the whole process, such as hotel travel photography, late-night beef noodles, etc. Thank you very much, Xiaoshi, and chicken legs~
After arriving at the store, I took the initiative to explain that I upgraded the room. From the room, I can see Fubo Mountain. The view is very good. The bed is very comfortable, the bathroom is large, and the bathroom is separate. The TV in the room can be projected~
During the travel photography, I made an appointment with Teacher Xiaomeng, who has a very good attitude and takes very good photos~
The environment is good and the taste is good. I recommend everyone to come and try it. The environment is good! The taste is good! The environment is good and the taste is good. I recommend everyone to come and try it. The environment is good! The taste is good! Very beautiful

酒店位置非常好，就在湖边，8楼的云端餐厅可以看到日月双塔，还给我们升级了房型，房间很大，很干净，在房间就可以直接看到日月双塔，中午12点左右到酒店，前台服务热情专业，去餐厅吃个午饭，中午太热，小朋友在一楼做个手作，外婆拍个旅拍，简直完美！下次来还会住这里！
The overall atmosphere of the bar is great, the internal facilities are beautiful, and you can see the beautiful scenery of the Sun and Moon Towers and Shanhu Lake from the balcony outside. The cocktails tasted great, and I drank 4 in one go.

it's a great experience staying here with wonderful services and comfortable accommodation. The staff here is very helpful and amiable while asking for directions or looking for amenities. The staff even provided four packs of thermal conductive pad without being asked and gave out a plushy upon leaving. Other than that, the location of this hotel is not bad at all, in front of it is a walkway access to shops and restaurants that provide an absolute trouble-free experience. Not to mention that, there's a row of ginkgo tree that just turned yellow in front of the hotel, it's incredibly beautiful and mesmerizing. Lovely experience staying here, will definitely visit again.
Located in the city center, it is very convenient to go anywhere. It is very satisfying to bring children here. There is a swimming pool and a playground on the tenth floor. The playground is right outside the door. The children had a lot of fun. I will definitely stay here again next time I come to Guilin. The housekeeper Shishi is also very patient and attentive.

The location of the restaurant is really great. You can see the beautiful Li River, Elephant Trunk Hill and the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas at the same time. Whether it is night view or day view, it is very photogenic. When the lights of the two lights and the lights of the Elephant Trunk Hill are lit up at night, the night view is particularly romantic.
The outdoor seats on the first floor offer a view of the Sun and Moon Towers, a great angle for taking photos, and are relatively quiet.
There are stairs in the store that lead to the second floor, and the outdoor seats offer a view of the Elephant Trunk Hill, but you can't see the whole view, and it's a little noisy next to the road.
Scan the order, the drinks are a little slow to come, but a glass of lemonade will be served when you sit down, so it's okay.
Red bean Uji matcha, 30 for a large cup, the tea flavor is not strong, the taste is quite average, just enjoy the view.

At the intersection of Dongxi Lane and Zhengyang Street, the bar and restaurant on the rooftop is so romantic. You can sit on the balcony facing the street, order a pot of scented tea, some desserts, listen to music, and daydream about the scenery. It is a wonderful afternoon.

The hotel has good service and environment, rich breakfast, and delicious rice noodles. People who have never eaten rice noodles love it. The front desk staff is super enthusiastic! There is also a free travel photography service. If you come to Guilin, you can choose this store. It's super good
The restaurant environment is very good, on the bank of the Li River. I didn't want to go out to eat when I was staying in the hotel. The set meal was very filling, and the three of us were very full. The beef patties and chicken in the set meal were very delicious. Because it was very cold, I asked to replace the Coke in the set meal with orange juice, and they also helped me heat it up. The service was great.

I really like this new restaurant. Although its location is average, the things and collections here are very beautiful. They are said to be worth over 100 million yuan, so the desserts here are also very delicious.
Today I went to the No. 1 Western restaurant in Guilin, Ruzhuo Ancient Stone Carving Western Restaurant. The stone carvings here are all the owner's collections over 20 years, with an estimated value of 600 to 700 million yuan. It feels great to eat there. I have been climbing mountains today, Xiangshan, Diecai Mountain, Fubo Mountain, and I will go to see the Eternal Love tomorrow. I am happy.
The taste and presentation here are quite exquisite, just like their collections.

Be sure to sit by the window. The environment is needless to say, the view is really beautiful, and the food is also good and delicious.
The service of Auntie No. 309 and waiter No. 085 at Guanlan Restaurant is excellent. The restaurant has a wide variety of dishes, the taste is very good, and the service is great value. Highly recommended!
