Fanjing Mountain is very beautiful. It is fun to climb the mountain with both hands and feet. The top of the mountain is very cool. It is a good place to escape the summer heat. The cable car is very convenient. You don’t have to queue up when you go in early in the morning. I went to both Golden Summits and it took about five hours to finish the tour. It was not tiring and the experience was very good.
There was no cable car due to heavy rain, so we hiked up the mountain. Although it was tiring, the scenery along the way was beautiful and it was worth going again. When we got to the upward cable car, we got off for free because the scenic area was temporarily closed. The service was very good and we were given a full refund. I will definitely come again next time!

The Huangguoshu Scenic Area is truly spectacular and well worth a visit. It comprises three scenic areas: Huangguoshu Waterfall, Doupotang, and Tianxing Bridge. Each has its own unique charm, and a single day would be quite tiring. If you have more time, consider planning a two-day visit. Tickets are valid for three days, with unlimited entry, making them a convenient option for visitors.
I went there during the summer vacation and was torn. I was afraid of the crowds, and I'd feel bad if I didn't see it in Anshun. So I entered the park at 5 pm, which was very smooth. I also got to see the Water Curtain Cave, which was very satisfying to see. The night tour of Doupotang was also a pleasant surprise.

It happened to rain on the day we planned to go to Xiaoqikong. The Xiaoqikong in the rain was so surprising. The clouds and mist in the mountains and the Xiaoqikong in the rain were like a fairyland soaked in ink. The ancient bridges and waterfalls intertwined in the mist, creating a flowing poetry. The mossy stone paths and the clear water complemented each other, forming a lively and profound landscape scroll.
It was probably because it rained heavily yesterday and this morning, the water in Wolongtan was muddy. Cuigu Waterfall and Laya Waterfall were nice, and Xiaoqikong Bridge was okay. It was more energy-saving to go in from the west and out from the east, as it was all downhill!

Xijiang Qianhu is worth appreciating slowly. Remember to stay overnight to experience the night view. The Miao village, where day and night alternate, will make you linger. Put on Miao costumes and dance to ethnic songs and dances, and all your worries will disappear.
As soon as we got off the first sightseeing bus, we were greeted by the friendly driver who helped us with our luggage and escorted us to our room. The stairs were worth climbing; the view from the hotel was stunning! It was even better than the observation deck. The hotel just opened today, and the facilities are very smart and comprehensive.
The hotel provided complimentary afternoon tea and breakfast, which was very nice.

The surprise of this trip started with staying at this hotel! 🫶This stay was an absolute blast! From getting off the bus to checking out, the front desk lady was incredibly attentive. Check-in took just a minute, and she even helped carry our luggage to our room. The room was incredibly clean, and the bedding felt soft, like sinking into a cloud. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, so the hot water came quickly and the pressure was consistent, so I didn't experience fluctuating temperatures while showering. The dining area was also very comfortable, with good lighting and spacious tables and chairs, so it didn't feel crowded. The staff promptly cleared away empty plates, and the tables were always clean. The service was also very friendly, even proactively asking if we needed coffee. ☕
The scenery was breathtaking, and our room had a direct view of Fubo Mountain and the Li River. My friend even asked if I was staying inside the park. It was so refreshing. Free fruit, lemonade, and snacks were available all day on the first floor. Such thoughtful attention to detail. I would recommend this hotel to my friends and would definitely stay here with my kids next time. I'd definitely choose this place. I hope it continues to do better. It would be perfect if the rooftop outdoor swimming pool was bigger, hahahaha, thank you for giving me a wonderful first day of traveling in Guilin☺️
This trip was a joyful and enjoyable one. Every scenic spot from Guilin to Yangshuo was breathtakingly beautiful, with mountains and rivers interspersed with lush greenery. It was truly stunning. Our driver, Master Min, was incredibly calm and skilled, courteous, and courteous. He provided detailed explanations along the way and provided excellent service. Thank you so much, Master Min, for your hard work! I'd also like to thank all the customer service and supervisors at Ctrip for their hard work. Thank you so much! 😎

It is very convenient to take the bus from Guilin North Station to the Elephant Trunk Hill Scenic Area. Visitors over 60 years old can enter the park directly with their ID cards, which saves the trouble of elderly people not being able to make reservations on their mobile phones. It is worthy of praise. The scenic area has good service, good environment, and beautiful scenery. I will come again if I have the chance.
Enter through Gate 3, buy tickets for free on Ctrip or scan the QR code. Apart from taking a few photos on Love Island, there is nothing special about the 90 yuan cruise and a 60-70 minute Li River cruise.

The first attraction in Guilin during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the ticket price is 100 yuan with the guided tour. The guide is also very serious. In addition to the guided tour, there are many interactive experience parts, which makes you spend your money happily. This is a very different experience. I wrote the word "Fu", experienced the exam, and saw the origin of the saying "Guilin landscape is the best under heaven". I really recommend it.
It was a fascinating trip. Wangcheng is a campus of Guangxi Normal University. The guide was a teacher from the university. He was incredibly knowledgeable and could readily recite historical allusions and ancient poetry. I was impressed! He gave us a vivid history and culture lesson!
The most impressive things were the Wangfu secret carvings, the Five Blessings, and the Tai Sui culture!

It's definitely worth a visit. Before I went, I thought it would be just so-so, after all, the beauty of caves is all about lighting.
Afterward, I found it truly spectacular. While there are lights, they aren't vibrant red, green, or yellow; they're subtle, mostly natural. Some areas don't even have headlights, just the staircases.
Words are hard to describe, but I highly recommend a visit.
If anyone in your family has mobility issues, bring hiking poles. We even encountered several elderly people in their 80s climbing the steps.
The entire walk is slow, stopping frequently to take photos. It takes about three hours. For those with good walking skills and stamina, the entire walk can be completed in 1.5 hours.
Zhijin Cave is not as famous as Huangguoshu Cave and Xiaoqikong Cave, but when I really went to see it, it was indeed the most stunning cave I have ever seen. The height of the cave and the size of the karst columns are unforgettable. It feels more spectacular than Huangguoshu Waterfall.

I came to Guangxi and visited 3 cities, Nanning, Guilin, and Yangshuo. The most recommended places are Longji Rice Terraces and Ping'an Village. The recommended month is September, which is the off-season. The price is affordable, there is a direct bus to the scenic area, which is convenient and all green.
Because it was raining, I only went to Ping'anzhuang. The terraced rice in the rain had a different kind of beauty. 👍
We had the local specialty bamboo rice, which became more fragrant the more we chewed it. The owner also gave us some freshly picked passion fruit, which was sweet with a hint of tartness. Delicious! 🤤

[Scenery] Guizhou's Qingyan Ancient Town resembles a rich ancient painting, leisurely displaying the traces of a millennium. Its quaint bluestone alleyways wind through winding paths, flanked by well-preserved Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, featuring upturned eaves and carved beams and painted rafters. Temples, theaters, the Wanshou Palace, and other structures are remarkably well-preserved, showcasing the architectural style of the Ming and Qing dynasties while also exuding a rich historical charm. A gentle breeze lingers, and the town's blue bricks and tiles gleam softly in the sunlight, as if evoking a bygone prosperity. Standing atop the city wall, the panoramic view of the ancient town reveals a vivid painting of layered roofs and ancient alleyways, quietly telling the story of time. As night falls, the lights of Dingguang Gate twinkle, and the town becomes even more captivating, as if transported back to the prosperous days of ancient times. The scenery here, especially the ancient city wall, imbues you with a sense of history and a subtle, ancient charm. Here, you'll feel the weight of history, leaving you captivated and captivated by the unique and beautiful scenery of this ancient town. [Fun] Qingyan Ancient Town is like a magical box that journeys through time. Its quaint alleys hold countless secrets waiting to be explored. Bluestone pavements beat to the rhythm of ancient times, while ancient houses and ancestral halls, like playful children, tell fascinating stories from thousands of years ago. The aroma of snacks wafts through the alleys, as if even the ancients were secretly checking in. At night, the ancient town illuminated by lights creates a galaxy of stars hanging inverted, making it tempting to linger a few seconds longer and experience this fascinating adventure, a journey through time and space!
[Value for Money] Qingyan Ancient Town in Guizhou, with its rich history and charming ancient charm, is an exceptionally cost-effective tourist destination.

Strolling the ancient alleys, taking photos, and experiencing the rich ethnic customs will satisfy your cultural needs while keeping your wallet light. Every investment here will be rewarded with wonderful memories, making this a truly worthwhile ancient town treasure! Guizhou boasts numerous attractions, but they are relatively scattered, so prospective travelers are advised to plan ahead. In short, friends who come to Guizhou for tourism, don't miss Qingyan Ancient Town. The reasons are: (1) Qingyan Ancient Town is the first national 5A-level tourist attraction in Guiyang City; (2) Qingyan Ancient Town is a military stronghold with a history of 600 years in the Ming and Qing Dynasties; (3) Qingyan Ancient Town is one of the most charming ancient towns in China, integrating historical culture, military culture, food culture, and folk culture. Those who have not been here will definitely regret it!
It's still worth a visit. Nowadays, commercialization of various tourist attractions is quite serious, not just Qingyan Ancient Town. The photo effect of checking in at North Street is first-class, and climbing up the ancient city wall to overlook the scenery is unique.
