Memories of the Li River Scenery
This time, I chose the Ctrip-themed cruise ship "Y0Y0 Happy Cruise," departing from Zhujiang Wharf in Guilin and sailing to Longtoushan Wharf in Yangshuo, a journey of about 4 hours. Following the guide, I enjoyed the scenery along the way; the landscape before my eyes was like a series of vivid landscape paintings. I finally experienced firsthand the charm of "Guilin's scenery is the best under heaven," and understood many famous scenic spots.
1. What's hidden in Yangdi's scenery?
Yangdi is the first scenic area after the Li River flows into Yangshuo. Here, both banks are lined with uniquely shaped peaks, and the bamboo along the river is lush and verdant. Sailing downstream, lifelike mountain landscapes such as Embroidered Mountain Walls, Carp Hanging on the Walls, and Children Worshipping Guanyin come into view, as if stepping into a flowing landscape painting. Occasionally, wisps of smoke rise from the mountain villages, cormorants busily fish in the water, splashing water everywhere, and cattle and sheep bleat and moo on the mountains, creating a vibrant and wild atmosphere.
2. Can you really see nine horses at Nine Horses Painting Mountain?
That magnificent cliff, hundreds of meters high, is the famous Nine Horses Painting Mountain. The "nine horses" on the cliff are not real horses, but rather natural patterns and colors formed by the rocks. How many horses you can see depends entirely on the time of day, angle, weather, and whether you have a detailed guide. Most people can usually only see 3 to 5. A folk song goes: "Horse watcher, horse watcher, how many pairs of horses are there? Seeing seven makes you a runner-up, seeing nine makes you a champion."
3. Is comparing a 20 RMB note to the mountain peak enough?
The image on the back of the 20 RMB note is a photograph of the Yellow Cloth Reflection in the Li River. Simply comparing the shapes of the mountain peaks isn't enough; the key is to look at the two core elements: the "yellow cloth" and the "reflection." There are two interpretations of the "yellow cloth": one is that the yellow sand deposited at the bottom of the river resembles a large yellow cloth; the other is that there's a flat, large yellow stone slab at the bottom of the river, like a yellow cloth spread out. The "reflection" is most beautiful when the river is wide and the water is clear and calm. Peaks like Yuanbao Peak and Chaoban Mountain, along with the verdant bamboo along the banks, will be clearly reflected in the water, creating a harmonious blend of mountains and water that makes it difficult to distinguish reality from illusion.
4. Just how amazing is the Li River scenery?
The Li River is a typical karst landscape, and its scenic characteristics can be summarized in four words: clear, unique, ingenious, and ever-changing. "Clear" refers to the Li River's year-round crystal-clear waters, allowing one to see directly to the bottom; "Unique" describes the strangely shaped yet beautiful peaks; "Exquisite" signifies the delicate and dynamic scenery, with rocks displaying remarkable shapes, textures, and colors, creating exquisitely crafted scenes as if sculpted by hand; "Changing" means the scenery varies with the seasons, day and night, and weather, offering a fresh experience with each visit.
Let's capture the beauty of the Li River in our memories, turn away gently, and say goodbye, hoping only for a future reunion.

The park is quite large. If you have enough time, it is recommended that you come early in the afternoon to play the park's entertainment projects first. There are two in the Devil City😂, with food and entertainment. It is recommended to watch the performance around 16:30 and then enjoy the night view of the park. If it is a holiday, the entertainment projects may not end until 23:00 in the evening😂, so you can feel that the ticket price is very worthwhile🤩
It was a truly fascinating experience.
First, the scenic area had many well-organized recreational activities, so there was no need to be idle.
Second, the activities had local characteristics.
Finally, the entire visit was a joy.

I came here after seeing online reviews suggesting it was fun, but the experience was average. The facilities are small, and many of the venues are themed around 4D imaging. The food and drink options are limited and expensive. The itineraries and performance guides are unclear, so I had to download the Fantawild app to research them myself.

When you come to Guizhou, you must experience China's strength up close. Take a 30-minute shuttle bus to the core area of FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope), where the super telescope is right before your eyes. It's the world's first, a testament to our powerful motherland! The FAST scenic area also has many science education and experience halls, including the Nan Rendong Memorial Hall, where you can pay tribute to the father of China's FAST telescope!
It's worth visiting; these are the nation's most important instruments, the best in the world. The Chinese people have the capability and ambition. With the passage of time, all the problems that imperialism has created for us will be solved. I am proud of our great motherland! A salute to the scientists who have contributed to the country; the people of our motherland will never forget you!

The scenery at Ruyi Peak Scenic Area is absolutely stunning, and the trails are easy to walk on, with many great spots for taking photos! In particular, the 360° panoramic view from the summit offers an unparalleled vista of the surrounding landscape!
Soaring through the clouds, strolling through a fairyland. The cable car winds its way through karst peaks, as if stepping into a traditional Chinese ink painting. The suspension bridge and viewing platform at the summit offer stunning views; every step is a scenic vista, a truly blissful experience that cleanses the soul.

As soon as I stepped onto Beihai Silver Beach, the frosted-white sand captivated me. The sand was as fine as salt, warm and sweet, and felt as soft as cotton. The waves, swirling with snow-white foam, rolled in, and I couldn't wait to step into the water. The waves crashed against me, then quickly receded, as if the sea were whispering softly. Running along the waves, riding a beach scooter, the breeze whipping my hair back, my heart filled with a sense of soaring freedom.
In the afternoon, I searched the beach for tiny crabs; they were so agile that they could disappear into their holes without warning. As the sun set, the beach shimmered, like a dazzling work of art. Beihai Silver Beach is truly a place you won't want to leave.
Beihai trip, a date with the sea Recently I just came back from a trip to Beihai, I can't wait to share this unforgettable experience with you. Silver Beach is really amazing, worthy of the reputation of "the first beach in the world". The sand is as delicate as flour, stepping on it barefoot, and the soft touch comes from the soles of the feet, which is extremely pleasant. In the evening, the sunset is spilled on the beach, and the whole world is dyed warm orange, and the atmosphere is a blockbuster. Here, you can enjoy the sun beach and waves, relaxing. Qiaogang style street is full of fireworks, is a paradise for food lovers. As soon as you enter here, the aroma of various foods will come out. Vietnam rolls, crab noodles, roasted oysters...everything is mouth-watering. At night, the Qiaogang style street, neon lights flashing, lively, while eating food, while feeling this lively atmosphere, happiness is bursting. Weizhou Island is a highlight of the trip to the North Sea. As the largest dead volcano island in China, the island's scenery and unique volcanic geological landscape are amazing. The volcanic rocks in the Crocodile Mountain Volcano Park are strange and strange, as if they are carefully carved artworks by nature. The sea erosion landform of the dripping Danping is beautiful, and at sunset, the embers spill on the sea, sparkling, and beautiful. Beihai Old Street is full of historical charm, built in 1883, the street is a unique Chinese and Western combination of riding buildings, strolling in it, as if crossing back to the past, can feel the prosperity of Beihai once. Today, it is also a lively commercial street where you can enjoy the old buildings, taste local cuisine and buy special souvenirs. However, the North Sea has some minor drawbacks. For example, some attractions are more commercialized, like Qiaogang Style Street, although there are many foods, but some net red shops are not cost-effective. There is also the climate of the North Sea. The summer is long and hot. It belongs to the kind of hot and sultry. It is easy to sticky on the body. It is occasionally cold in winter, and there is no heating. The room is wet and cold. In addition, there are relatively many mosquitoes in the North Sea. You must take anti-mosquito measures to play. Overall, Beihai is a very worthwhile tourist attraction. There are beautiful sea views, rich cuisine and unique human landscape. If you also like the sea, yearning for a leisurely seaside life, then the North Sea will not let you down, pack your bags, come to a romantic encounter with the North Sea!

Stepping into the underwater tunnel, you'll feel like you're transported to a mysterious underwater kingdom, surrounded by vibrant corals, leisurely schools of fish, adorable seals, and graceful jellyfish—it's truly adorable! 🦈🐟📷 Staring into the eyes of a giant shark across the screen is a thrilling experience. The show is truly captivating, and the mermaids' graceful dance moves are captivating. It's a perfect spot for families and couples, highly recommended! 👍❤️
The environment is clean and the scenery is pleasant. It's informative and eye-opening. The diverse variety of marine life makes it a great place for those interested in learning more about marine animals. There are also several exciting marine animal shows. It's well worth a visit.

The scenery is nice, the lawns are great, and it's a great place for taking photos. However, the signage is unclear and inconvenient; it doesn't indicate how far to walk. Also, the small cars you can rent in the scenic area are incredibly slow, like snails. The speed seems to be adjusted, with the same speed uphill and downhill, and they charge by half an hour, which only allows you to visit one place at most in half an hour. It's a total rip-off. Definitely don't rent those tuk-tuks!
The green hills, clear waters, and meadows are breathtakingly beautiful when there are few people! I took some truly memorable photos! This red sweatshirt looks absolutely gorgeous in Guihai Qinglan! The black swans are stunning.

I arrived early when I was passing by Nanning and stayed overnight. I wanted to go see the internet-famous gorilla. Generally speaking, as long as the zoo is not that bad, I will give it a good review. Nanning Zoo is indeed okay. It has all the animals it should have and you can see them. I also saw the gorilla. Although I didn't see it throwing things, I saw it dancing, so it was worth it.
The zoo is cleverly designed with numerous rest areas and dining areas, allowing visitors to relax and enjoy a cup of fragrant milk tea to recharge their batteries. Each animal habitat is also equipped with a detailed sign, leading us to a deeper understanding of the world of each small animal.

I had booked a guided tour with a "Big Shots Talk," but there are very few tourists booking these tours here; we almost couldn't form a group (it takes two people to form a group). Today's guide was a university professor, so the entire explanation flowed very well; he was also very serious about criticizing the hip-hop middle school students who came to the museum for educational purposes. We saw the palace lantern that President Xi Jinping had "traveled" to the United States for during his visit, and the "fish" housed in the Nandan Museum. The museum's free guided tours are held every half hour, but probably due to cost and hygiene considerations, they don't provide headsets for the free tours, and the guides' loudspeakers are extremely loud, which significantly reduces the visitor's satisfaction.
A Civilizational Scroll Amidst the Charm of Guangxi and Miao Culture – A Visit to the Guangxi Nationalities Museum
Stepping into the Guangxi Nationalities Museum is like crossing a barrier of time, plunging into a cultural galaxy interwoven with the Zhuang, Yao, Miao, and Dong ethnic groups. This building, nestled against the verdant mountains and beside the Yong River, is itself rich in regional characteristics. Its vermilion pillars paired with black-tiled eaves, adorned with bronze drum patterns, exude both the solemnity of traditional architecture and the vibrancy of ethnic art, filling visitors with anticipation for its wonders even before entering.
The second-floor exhibition hall, "The Ethnic Code Through a Thousand Years," is truly the highlight. Upon entering the hall, a massive array of bronze drums immediately captures the eye. These "artifacts," bearing the wisdom of the Zhuang ancestors, are engraved with sun and cloud/thunder patterns. The deep, resonant sound when struck seems to penetrate a thousand years, recounting the ancient rituals and celebrations. Inside the glass display case, the shimmering colors of Zhuang brocade are captivating. On the predominantly red, yellow, and blue brocade, lifelike flowers, birds, fish, and insects are depicted. The guide explains that each piece of Zhuang brocade takes weavers months or even years to complete, and the intricate stitches reveal the Zhuang girls' skill and deep affection.
Turning the display case, the Yao silver ornaments section is dazzling. Heavy silver crowns, necklaces, and bracelets are engraved with auspicious patterns such as dragons, phoenixes, and butterflies, reflecting a brilliant light in the sunlight. It is said that Yao silver ornaments are not only decorations but also symbols of wealth. A bride's complete set of silver ornaments, weighing dozens of kilograms, jingles as she walks, like a flowing folk song. The Dong ethnic drum tower model nearby was equally stunning. Constructed entirely of wooden components using mortise and tenon joints without a single nail or rivet, its upturned eaves perfectly replicating the exquisite craftsmanship and grandeur of a real drum tower, inspiring admiration for the superb skills of the Dong artisans.
Standing on the museum's terrace, gazing out over the gently flowing Yong River and the lush green Qingxiu Mountain, the natural scenery and the ethnic culture within the museum complemented each other, further emphasizing the profound history and vibrant energy of this land.
This trip to the Guangxi Nationalities Museum was both a visual feast and a spiritual cleansing. The artifacts, techniques, and scenes of daily life spanning millennia allowed me to deeply appreciate the diversity and brilliance of Guangxi's various ethnic cultures, and to understand the profound meaning of "each culture has its own beauty, and together we create a harmonious whole."
