This scenic spot is very good, just in time for the snow. Tianmen Mountain is very beautiful, and there is no queue at the bottom. The cable car ride is very exciting. Children under 14 are free. Highly recommended.
It was very tiring, but the experience was great! My parents were also able to successfully reach the top, so happy! The line for the cable car down the mountain was too long, but fortunately the cable car was very long and went directly to the city, which was exciting!

I personally think that Libo Xiaoqikong is more worth seeing than Huangguoshu Waterfall, but it may be a little bit worse than Jiuzhaigou, but it is also very beautiful. There are many things to play and many scenic spots, which are very suitable for checking in and taking pictures.
Xiaoqikong is worth visiting, and the projects inside are also recommended. Both the east and west gates are OK. The west gate is to go up and reach the water forest hike earlier; the east gate is to go down and see Wolong Lake earlier (I suddenly can't remember the name, so I don't know if it is accurate)

Very beautiful, rich performances! The family had a lot of fun, but the cable car was a bit of a pit. The ride time was too short and not high enough. There was no need to take the cable car into the Miao village………………………………
You must stay a night in Qianhu Miao Village, where you can see the lights of thousands of houses and feel the Miao customs. There are many barbecue restaurants at night, and you can choose one to eat barbecue with your family and friends and enjoy the beautiful night view. It is very comfortable.

The Xiangshan Scenic Area is truly a masterpiece of nature. Nature is so magical. The natural landscape of Buddha is breathtaking. The karst landforms on both sides of the Li River are eye-catching. It is a highly recommended tourist attraction.
Free entry, a "giant elephant" is located here, long nose here to drink thousands of years of water. The blue waves are rippling, crescent-like caves, during the boat, you can see the sky and water shadows lingering between the stone seams.

Guilin Two Rivers and Four Lakes Scenic Area is a landmark attraction in the center of Guilin. It consists of the Li River, Taohua River, Rong Lake, Shan Lake, Gui Lake and Mulong Lake. It is known as the "Venice of China". It combines natural landscapes with cultural landscapes. It is an excellent place to experience the artistic conception of Guilin "thousands of mountains surround the wild, and one water embraces the city".
Highlights
1. Best for night tours: The lights are bright at night, and the Sun and Moon Towers (Golden Tower and Silver Tower) are reflected on the lake, like a fairyland. The cruise ship passes through 19 bridges of different styles, such as the Glass Bridge and the Ancient Banyan Bridge, which are very visually impactful.
2. Water performances: Folk performances such as osprey fishing and ethnic songs and dances add fun. Some cruise ships are equipped with tour guides to explain the historical background in depth.
3. Lock experience: Due to the water level difference, the cruise ship needs to pass through the ship lift or lock, which is similar to the "Mini Three Gorges", novel and interesting.
4. Walking tour: The free lakeside trail is suitable for slow walking. The glass bridge of Rong Lake and the Sun and Moon Twin Towers of Shan Lake are recommended, especially for photography enthusiasts.
This place not only has a good cultural heritage, but also has beautiful scenery. It is very suitable to come here to play. While understanding the cultural heritage, you can also feel the beautiful scenery around you.

You have to enter the Duxiuwangcheng scenic area from the main gate. The ticket includes a tour guide. If you accidentally enter from the back door, you have to wait for the free shuttle bus to take you back to the main gate! The tour guide will take you to explain the various histories of Duxiuwangcheng and Guilin bit by bit. It is very informative. The famous saying "Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world" is engraved on Duxiu Peak. There is also an immersive experience, which is very good. Smart fare! It's a pity that the waiting time for the shuttle bus is a bit long. When the trip is over, the coffee shop will be closed, so you can only take it away!
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!

What a great experience! The terraces are spectacular. It's a bit of a pity that it rained and I had to take an umbrella to take pictures, but the good thing is that I can see the sea of clouds, like entering a fairyland, very beautiful!
Spring (March-April): The terraces begin to be filled with water, and the water surface is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, surrounding mountains and trees, and the scenery is picturesque.
◦ Summer (June-August): The terraces are green and full of vitality, and the layers of green waves are spectacular.
◦ Autumn (September-November): The rice is ripe, and the terraces are golden. It is a harvest season and a good time for photography.
◦ Winter (December-February of the following year): At this time, the terraces are filled with water, and the wonders of the sea of clouds often appear, and the light and shadows are ever-changing.

It is much better than the ancient towns around Shanghai, and the place is relatively large. The snacks in the scenic spots are delicious and not expensive. There are also free small attractions in the scenic area, and the service staff are very enthusiastic.
The ancient town is very good. It was my first time staying in the ancient town. The pig's trotters there were delicious, sticky and full of collagen. The scenery was very good. I also experienced taking photos with the Miao people. It was very cost-effective and I was very satisfied. . . . . .

After the purchase, the after-sales service was very fast. The staff immediately contacted to supplement the documents, arrange the sailing date, and pick up the tickets the next day. It was very clear and thoughtful. The dock staff helped to pick up the tickets, and the lounge directly checked the tickets and boarded the ship. The ship was neat and orderly, and the attractions were introduced one by one. The catering was equipped with snacks and special platters, and you could also order dishes. We brought our own food but didn't try it. The weather changed quickly during the voyage. It is recommended to bring your own raincoat, which is also sold on the ship. Overall, it is a comfortable and beautiful travel choice.
A very satisfying boat ride, a thumbs up to the three-star cruise. The scenery on the top of the boat is so beautiful, even on a rainy day, there is a different feeling, it is worth a trip on the Li River.
