A guided tour is definitely worthwhile at museums. The Hunan Provincial Museum is currently under renovation, and it's crowded and small. Without a guided tour, I probably would have been out in 20 minutes. Our guide, Xiao Zhou, gave a lively and engaging explanation. Very good.
I must commend Xiao Xiao, the museum guide! Her explanations were professional and engaging throughout, clearly and thoroughly explaining the historical origins and cultural details behind the exhibits. She also incorporated fun anecdotes to keep things interesting, and her pacing was excellent, captivating both adults and children. She was enthusiastic and patient, answering all our questions meticulously and even sharing photos, making the visit both educational and incredibly pleasant. With Xiao Xiao as our guide, the museum experience was doubled! Highly recommended!

The night view was absolutely stunning, the boat ticket was definitely worth it, and the staff at Orange Isle were incredibly helpful. Even after I took the mini-train out of the scenic area, they took me back to the Orange Isle pier. Thank you so much! 🙏
It's fantastic! There's a miniature train and a cruise ship, and the scenery along the Xiang River is breathtaking. Like young students in their prime, full of youthful vigor and ambition, they boldly expressed their opinions and concerns. They discussed the state of the nation, wrote passionately, and considered the powerful officials of the time as mere dust.

The night view was enchanting, and experiencing the two types of locks was fantastic. I arrived early, but the ticket inspector helped me change my ticket to an earlier departure if there were available seats. The fourteen bridges are all unique in design; pay special attention to the paintings and reliefs beneath the bridge surfaces.
What an amazing one-hour experience! Dylan assisted us all the way and check in on us every step of the way. He was very prompt, friendly and helpful! The breathtaking scenery was worth every minute and cent spent!

It’s an extremely nice scenic area in the heart of Guilin city. Quite crowded, but enjoyed the beauty of nature.
The user experience is fantastic! Visiting Elephant Trunk Hill in Guilin is breathtaking. The hill connects seamlessly with the water, resembling an elephant drinking water—it's incredibly lifelike. The surrounding facilities are excellent, and transportation is convenient, making it suitable for family trips. Overall, Elephant Trunk Hill is a must-see in Guilin and highly recommended!

There was practically no service to speak of. The two uncles checking tickets and guarding the gate knew everyone was a tourist, yet they insisted on serving in their local dialect (I needed assistance with my ID card error at the entrance). The night view was more beautiful than the daytime view, and the entrance was full of young women taking photos. This building was a later construction, not a reconstruction on the original site, but the animation and story film designs were quite good; I bought some fridge magnets.
Upstairs, there's a video of Du Fu's poem "Meeting Li Guinian Again in Jiangnan," which brought me to tears. "Often seen at Prince Qi's residence, heard many times before Cui Jiu's hall. It is indeed a beautiful scene in Jiangnan, meeting you again in the season of falling flowers." Ultimately, he died far from home, never returning to his native soil. Du Fu, a poet saint for all time, dedicated his life to his country and its people!

Duxiu Peak and Jingjiang Prince City Scenic Area, located in Xiufeng District, Guilin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, is a scenic tourist area rich in history and culture, covering an area of 283 acres.
Duxiu Peak, along with Diecai and Fubo Peaks, forms a triad of mountains, one of the main peaks of Guilin, known as the "Pillar of the Southern Sky" and historically called the First Peak of Guilin. Rising abruptly, its shape is like a knife-cut hex, surrounded by other mountains, standing proudly like an emperor. Climbing 306 steps leads to the summit, the best viewing platform for panoramic views of Guilin. Located 1000 meters north of Diecai and 500 meters east of Fubo, it has an altitude of 216 meters, rising 66 meters above the plain, measuring 120 meters long and 50 meters wide, covering an area of 0.61 hectares. Surrounded by mountains in the distance, it resembles a courtier paying homage, creating a regal atmosphere of "a solitary peak not serving the other mountains," laughing at the surrounding peaks, and is known as the "Head of the Mountains, King of the Mountains." The cliffside inscriptions are scattered like stars, displaying a rich tapestry of history. Among them is the famous line, "Guilin's scenery is the best under heaven," which originated here.
The intangible cultural heritage of the Jingjiang Prince's Palace is "Prince's Palace Rubbings," pioneered by Zhu Zuojing, the fifth Prince of Jingjiang. Using color rubbing techniques, it stems from the study of the palace's stone inscriptions and boasts a 600-year history. The most representative rubbing, featuring the Five Blessings, was featured on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.
This is a highly recommended attraction. It boasts pristine, ancient scenery. A guide usually leads a group of about 10 people, providing explanations and commentary throughout the visit. It's excellent, allowing you to experience scenery and culture you wouldn't normally see. There are many authentic cultural relics reflecting Guilin's past and present. I suggest visiting if you have the time, but be prepared for the climb to the top for panoramic views of Guilin.

Visiting the Longji Rice Terraces in early November, it was drizzling. The rice was ripe, and the layers of golden rice fields, set against the backdrop of the misty rain, had a poetic beauty that made one marvel at the diligence and resilience of our Chinese ancestors.
1. Autumn deepens, the sunlight bathes the world in a warm glow, even worries seem gentler.
2. Autumn has arrived, and the air is filled with the aroma of roasted chestnuts and sweet potatoes, as warm as a familiar embrace.
3. Leaves fall gently in the autumn breeze, like letters from the past, telling tales of autumn's tenderness and tranquility.
1. Autumn is a poem, each fallen leaf a rhyming note, writing the story of time.
2. Autumn is nature's ink painting, its rich colors blending to create a serene and profound poetic atmosphere.
3. I wander through autumn's tapestry, encountering every golden hue, collecting the romance that belongs to autumn.

The scenic area was restored in 1983. From Yueyang Tower, you can see Dongting Lake. A visit takes about two hours. Outside the south gate, there's a commercial street where you can stroll around and then walk to the Houyi Shooting Eight Demons exhibit.
Yueyang Tower, one of the three famous towers south of the Yangtze River, stands on the shore of Dongting Lake. Leaning on its railing, one can see the vast expanse of Dongting Lake stretching for miles, its waters and sky blending seamlessly into the autumn sky. The tower's upturned eaves reflect the flowing clouds and soaring birds, seemingly still echoing Fan Zhongyan's timeless words, "Be the first to worry about the world's troubles, and the last to enjoy its pleasures."

The hotel has complete facilities, a great environment, and parking available. There are many restaurants nearby, and it's very close to the scenic area. The room is a mountain view room, clean and tidy, with a separate shower and toilet, smart home technology, and a very quiet environment. The bedding is clean. There's a laundry room and gym on the second floor, and free luggage storage is also available. I'd definitely stay here again.
Wugong Mountain has two main characteristics. First, its summit is a grassland! The professional term is "alpine meadow," located at an altitude of nearly 2000 meters, creating this stunning scenery. Climbing up and seeing it is a truly delightful surprise; this unique feature is indeed rare. Second, it appeals to a youthful audience. Every mountain needs to highlight its unique characteristics, and Wugong Mountain's focus on young people is truly impressive! "Special Forces Tourism," "Tent Army," "Electronic Music Festival"—these are all clever tactics!
