Absolutely wonderful. Well worth the price for nature lovers. Duration was 4 hours. It was nice to take the time to slow down. Special thanks to Dylan for the help and infos provided!!
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.

We arrived at Yuelu Mountain early in the morning. The guide contacted us a day in advance and arranged a meeting point. His explanation was incredibly detailed; skipping it would have been a wasted trip. The crowds were still quite large this morning, though I only saw the Aiwan Pavilion from a distance. The scenery was beautiful during the hike, and Lushan Temple was tranquil. Outside the entrance, a few young people were setting up stalls, selling two small porcelain bowls with a ring for 20 yuan. The hike wasn't tiring, but we stopped frequently. We visited the tombs of Cai E and Huang Xing, and then descended by cable car. It wasn't crowded at noon, so we didn't have to wait. Once we reached the base, the crowds at the East Gate were so numerous we were glad we'd gotten up early. The fragrance of osmanthus flowers permeated the air along Yuelu Mountain in autumn, creating a refreshing and pleasant breeze.
Yuelu College: one of the four major colleges in ancient China, founded in the Northern Song Dynasty in 976, located at the foot of Yuelu Mountain in Changsha City, Hunan Province, is now the School of History and Philosophy of Hunan University. Yuelu College has been developed for thousands of years. It was founded by Tanzhou Taishou Zhudong during the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhu Ying and Zhang Ying in the Southern Song Dynasty carried out "Zhu Zhanghui Talk" here, becoming an important dissemination place of science and science. It was changed to Hunan Higher School in the late Qing Dynasty, and it was officially named Hunan University in 1926. It has been used to this day.

We spent eight hours there and still couldn't get enough. The facilities are new, the scenery is beautiful, there aren't many people, the lines aren't long, there are shows to watch, and the food is affordable. Hunan TV is right next to it, and when we got out at almost 10 pm, we still had food at Pizza Hut, and it was only 40 yuan per person, plus gifts. I highly recommend planning a full day with your kids to have fun!

Loved this spot! The scenery is beautiful and it's a great place for photos. We were lucky to catch an exhibition of a cute yellow duck, which made for some adorable pictures. Definitely a must-visit if you're in the area and want to snap some great shots. And do buy ticket online on trip.com for better price!
The entrance fee is 25 yuan, and the main focus is on relaxation and taking photos. The vast lawn, combined with the blue sky and distant mountains, is truly beautiful.
The scenic area is quite large, so it's best to buy a ticket for the electric cart.
The most beautiful spots are by the two lakes, with Mianshan Mountain as a backdrop, but they are a bit far from the entrance.
I don't recommend rushing through this area; allow at least two hours for your visit, and perhaps even bring a mat to enjoy the grassy atmosphere.

Mangshan Wuzhifeng Scenic Area is undoubtedly the most worthwhile mountain to visit in Hunan Province. Compared to Huangshan, its terrain is more precipitous, and its beauty is equally stunning. The scenic area has built barrier-free access, making it a mountain you don't have to "climb." On the day of your visit, the area is shrouded in mist, creating a fairyland-like atmosphere. Those who enjoy hiking can go to Mangshan National Forest Park, also known as the West Gate. There is no cable car there; you can only hike. There is a path from the summit leading to Wuzhifeng Scenic Area, but an additional 150 yuan entrance fee is required.
The sea of clouds here is really beautiful in autumn, and the Five Finger Peak is also beautiful. The whole journey is barrier-free and suitable for both young and old. This is a mountain that can be reached without climbing. The whole journey is on the cliffs, and it takes about 4 hours to walk down.

The underwater world is very fun. There are different animals, different performances, and many recreational projects. Feel the difference. Wear beautiful clothes in summer to take pictures. 📸📸📸📸
This is the best show I've ever seen. The explanation is very professional. The Tuan Tuan from Ocean World is super cute. The trainer is also great. I bought VIP seats to watch the show and the experience was amazing! ! ! I also had my passport stamped. I had a lot of fun. I would also come to the night show if I had the chance. It's cool and fun.

Mingyue Mountain is very high. The Moon Lake and the Sea of Waterfall on the mountain are both over 1,500 meters high, so the cable car to Mingyue Mountain is divided into two sections: upper and lower. The Qingyun Plank Road on Mingyue Mountain is built on the cliff and is 3,100 meters long. The waterfalls on Mingyue Mountain are also very good, among which the Yungu Waterfall is the highest and most beautiful.
Mingyue Mountain is very high, with Moon Lake on it reaching over 1,500 meters above sea level. This is why the Mingyue Mountain Cableway has two sections: an upper section and a lower section. The Qingyun Plank Road, built on a cliff, offers pleasant views but also a dangerous experience. Mingyue Mountain boasts several waterfalls, of which the Yungu Waterfall is the highest and most beautiful.

We Love the place, staffs very polite and friendly, one of the best theme park ❤
The facilities throughout Fantawild are made of genuine materials and are well-maintained. The floor, in particular, is smooth but not slippery, which I really enjoyed. We visited all three parks, each with a different theme. They all featured games and performances, with real people, sound and light, animation, and immersive experiences. My favorite performance was the I Ching, and my favorite game was Fly With Me.
