Very convenient to climb the mountain, escalator cableway escalator cableway, never so easy to climb the mountain, the glass plank road is also very interesting, but unfortunately the day is cloudy, did not see the most beautiful Tianmen Mountain.

The facilities in the park are very complete. There are trash cans and toilets within a few steps, which is very convenient.
The queue is not long, and you can get on the cable car or the eco-friendly car quickly. The scenic area is very large, but the staff will basically reply if you ask.
It is a very worthwhile experience. The food charges in the scenic area are also reasonable and clearly marked.
This place is HUGE..a lot of walking that is you need to remember. a lot of shuttle buses to take. It was scorching HOT the day I went..views are amazing

Hunan Museum, there is no successful appointment online, the explanation selected is very worthwhile. I really won't understand so deeply without explanation. Sister Xiao Wang's explanation is very specific and vivid, like it
The Ma Wangdui Cultural Relics Exhibition is very worth seeing! The plain yarn single coat and T-shaped painting are too exquisite! Mrs. Xin Chai's coffin is quite shocking with the remains! The narrator Xiao Xie is very good, the introduction is very detailed, so that tourists can better understand this history!

In summer, I think it’s good to take a boat to enjoy the scenery. It’s too hot during the day. In other seasons, I don’t think it’s recommended. The fare is not cheap. Then there should be more chairs on the boat to let everyone sit. Anyway, the service is pulling, not worth the fare.
We took the train on a rainy day. Actually, we didn't want to get off halfway, but the train driver insisted that we get off at the portrait side. We made a long detour in the rain before returning to the boarding point.

Hunan attractions are very friendly to children and the elderly. Children under 14 years old are generally free. The Du Fu Jiangge Night Ticket is worth coming, with many performances and interactions
Compared to the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, the place is a little smaller, just a small building. However, the character performances inside are still worth watching. It feels like the ticket price is worth it instantly. If you take your kids to the summer vacation, it’s too hot during the day, so the night view is a very good choice.

It is worth going here because the scenery here is beautiful, and the trees here are as beautiful as the Elephant Trunk Hill Scenic Area. I also saw a lot of bridges, and the patterns inside the bridge were very rich. We all felt very happy.
The scenery is beautiful, the tour guide on the boat Amei is very dedicated and has been explaining carefully. It's just that there are a few children on the boat, and they have been talking and laughing loudly, and Amei reminded me gently that it was useless.

Good attractions, free appointments, need to determine the entrance and exit in advance, such as Gate 3, Gate 2, many restaurants nearby are good, such as Yuji roast goose, it is very recommended, you can be wide and wide, there are more people, you need to prepare the card
[Scenery] I finally saw the nose elephant mountain in the Chinese textbook. At the intersection of the Lijiang River and the Taohua River, a peak like a giant elephant is drinking, and natural caves run through the mountain, reflecting into the wonder of "the bright moon floating under the water". [Fun] Qingfeng blue waves are reflected when the clear, and the ink shadows in the fog are empty; Mountain wall engraving Tang Song so far cliff stone engraving, Puxian Tower stands on the elephant back like a sword handle. At night, the light outlines the hieroglyphic shape, the cave and moon double glow, and reproduces the "like landscape and moon" millennium poetry environment - Guilin City Emblem, a natural totem of the creation of the world and the essence of humanism.

The attraction is equipped with a tour guide to fully understand every wonderful point of the scenic spot, and know the origin of "Guilin landscape is the best in the world". If the tickets are cheaper, it is more worth playing!
Jingjiang Wangfu is in the urban area of Guilin. It is more convenient to live in the urban area. The scenic area is not big. There is a tour guide to explain. We followed the first half of the journey and visited it by ourselves. The Wangfu has Lingnan characteristics. It is good to be surrounded by mountains and rivers.

The ticket is 80 yuan, which allows you to enter and exit the scenic area freely within 3 days. In fact, it is just to seal the entrance and exit, and circle the three terraced villages. If you only go to one village like us, the ticket will be a bit expensive. The scenery is still good, but since we brought the children, we went to Jinkeng Village and the No. 2 viewing platform, opposite which is the cable car, which I felt was unnecessary.
It is convenient to buy tickets online. Longji Terraces is full of green in July. Although the road is winding, there are not many people and it is very comfortable. (Not recommended for those who are afraid of motion sickness) But if you are not afraid of motion sickness, you can bring your family here for a walk, and it is also good to rent a makeup shop. If time permits, you can stay in a B&B here for one night, which is really good!

The seat of the cruise ship is a Chinese seat, very tall, free refreshments, and there is an experience activity for oil tea in the middle. While enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Lijiang River, while tasting Luo Hanguo tea, and then taking pictures on the top floor. The four-hour trip was very pleasant.
The scenery did not say, that is, I don't know if it is late or how to drop, can not order a meal, the ticket can only be ordered separately (set meal), the set meal is at least 200, there are also 100 snack packages (4 specialty snacks). In addition, I don't know why, the seats assigned to us are all opposite to the direction of the ship, dizzy.
