The sun and moon pagoda in the middle of this lake are so beautiful. Definitely worth seeing them during the day and then again at night to see all of the lights. It just so happened that the moon was directly above them when I was there too !

Cruise through the Two Rivers and Four Lakes, and find a billion points of romance on the Li River at night!Two Rivers and Four Lakes is the most representative city card of Guilin, consisting of the water feast formed by Fir Lake, Banyan Lake, Osmanthus Lake, Wooden Dragon Lake, Li River, and Peach Blossom River. 'Thousands of mountains stand wild, and one river embraces the city flow,' the Two Rivers and Four Lakes are that embracing water system. Water as a green silk ribbon, mountains like jade hairpins. The old name of Peach Blossom River is Yang River, which is a major tributary of the Li River. Wooden Dragon Lake is the only man-made lake among the four inner lakes, named after the nearby Wooden Dragon Cave. Fir Lake boasts the landmark Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas of Guilin, with the official residence of Li Zongren on its south bank. Banyan Lake and Fir Lake, both artificially excavated in the Song Dynasty as the southern moat of Guilin city, are collectively called Yangtang, a popular check-in spot. There is the ancient Banyan Twin Bridge made of white marble, and the stunning crystal glass bridge... Watch the landscape in the morning and enjoy the clouds at dusk, and see the lights when night falls. The resplendent Xianyao Tower, the colorful Liberation Bridge, and the doubly romantic Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas all take on a different look. Visiting the Two Rivers and Four Lakes is not only about taking a boat ride to appreciate the exquisite scroll of 'Guilin's landscape tops those elsewhere,' but also about enjoying a Guilin opera performance! Tang Jingsong, the last governor of Taiwan, with all his passion, sadly could not hold onto the tail of Shanghai, and could only express his feelings through the art of singing.VoyagingExplorer

Surrounded by thousands of peaks and embraced by a river, the city is in the scenery and the scenery is in the city! Guilin's 'Two Rivers and Four Lakes' refers to the Li River, Peach Blossom River, Mulong Lake (including Tiefo Pond), Gui Lake, Rong Lake, and Shan Lake. The entire city water system is 7.33 kilometers long and covers an area of 385,900 square meters. It is a microcosm of Guilin's 'best landscape under heaven'. The water system was first formed during the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127).

The sun and moon pagoda in the middle of this lake are so beautiful. Definitely worth seeing them during the day and then again at night to see all of the lights. It just so happened that the moon was directly above them when I was there too !
After six years, the second night tour of the two rivers and four lakes, the overall feeling is not improved, for the re-visiting, the price is not high, the first time there is obviously the impulse to hope to re-visit, but this time there is no more...
There are some performances on the river, and the boat will rise and fall, and the fun is relatively strong. But the staff on the boat kept saying that the small photos don’t cost money. I sent them to everyone. I went to take them. I only knew that I had to spend 35 yuan to buy a big photo. I sent a small photo. The photos were printed out. I only bought it. I found that Guilin is like this in many places. The staff only emphasized that the small photos are sent at the beginning, and they are bound to the big photos without mentioning that the small photos are bound, and finally they will let you spend money to buy the big photos.
The night tour is worth experiencing. The scenery is very beautiful. At this time, it is best to have a mobile phone that is good at taking night scenes. The little brother on the boat has been selling photos. I took a look. I really didn’t support him. The scenic spots are like this. It’s worth it for the sake of the scenery!
The first time I came to Guilin, I felt very good. The two rivers and four lakes are worth visiting.
Not bad, there is no mandatory shopping, just try not to come at noon, super hot 🥵
