It was a very good experience. Although there were many people during the summer, the guide was quite patient in explaining the tours. He staggered the tours according to the crowds and paid attention to professionalism and interactivity, meeting the needs of all kinds of people. The Hunan Museum also provided various services, and the collections were rich. I gained a new understanding of the beautiful rivers and mountains of our motherland.
The Hunan Provincial Museum is very worth a visit! ! ! Looking at the current exhibition, sighing at the wisdom of the ancients, I was hungry without knowing it, went to the top floor to eat a museum's exclusive specialties, and continued to roam through time and space. . .

I really like this set of travel. When I put it on, it happened to catch the sunset and took a lot of beautiful photos. I didn't have any thoughts during the whole trip and no one advertised. It was very comfortable.
Orange Island overlooks Yuelu Mountain to the west and Changsha City to the east. Surrounded by water, it stretches for 5 kilometers, measuring about 40 meters across at its narrowest point and 140 meters wide at its widest point, with a maximum width of just over 300 meters. Its long and narrow shape resembles a dragon. Its most famous feature is the magnificent stone statues of great men.

Guilin's Two Rivers and Four Lakes cruise is perfect for taking kids! The evening boat ride is breathtaking, and the scenery under the setting sun is picturesque. The lights shine even brighter after dark. The Sun and Moon Pagodas are particularly stunning, and the kids couldn't blink. The boat is very stable, and the guides tell interesting stories for the kids. The whole ride is relaxing and comfortable. The adults enjoy the scenery, and the kids have fun. It's a great value!
The intangible cultural heritage boat we took not only introduced the scenery of the two rivers and four waters, but also had the beautiful Liu Sanjie teach us to sing folk songs, and there was also an interactive singing session. Adults and children were very happy

Visiting Elephant Mountain during a downpour is a unique experience. It's not without its crowds, but it's definitely better than on a sunny day. Free reservations are available. Enter through Gate 3, scan the QR code, and follow the trails to Love Island, then Elephant Mountain. We took a bamboo raft for 50 yuan per person, circling the mountain twice, and took photos with the ospreys (10 yuan for both). Finally, we exited through Gate 1 and strolled back to the hotel. Prices in tourist cities are quite impressive, I love it!
We first arrived in Guilin from Yangshuo. Xingping Town in Yangshuo (the 20 RMB place) was filthy and messy. The Elephant Trunk Hill scenic area was small, and prices were incredibly high. A bottle of mineral water cost 6 RMB... There's a bus stop right outside Gate 2, which was quite convenient.

It's not as amazing as I imagined, but overall it feels good, with the breeze, listening to music, watching the performances, and then there are crowds of people...
The lights came on and I could feel it instantly. There were many activities inside and the children actively participated and loved it. The scenery along the river was beautiful and there was a band performance. It was a good place to take the children to play while listening to the music and feeling the river breeze!

The Prince Jing's Mansion is beautiful, a tranquil retreat amidst the bustle of the city. The prince clearly knew how to choose a prime feng shui location. Formerly the site of Guangxi Normal University, it boasts both history and stunning scenery. The tour guide service was exceptional, offering free, professional explanations. Guide Mo, who is said to be a teacher, was very professional, patient, and thorough, even trying to explain as much as he could, knowing we were pressed for time. When we left to receive our blessing rubbings, Guide Wei patiently led us to the north gate. I'll definitely be back for a second visit during winter break.
The ticket purchase is worth it, there is understanding, there are experience activities, and the explanation of the No. 73 team teacher is very detailed and thoughtful. It is a very good cultural heritage study experience. Suitable for students and everyone interested in culture.

The Longji Rice Terraces were truly breathtaking. We visited both Ping'an and Jinkeng villages. The Ping'an rice terraces are winding and winding, while the Jinkeng rice terraces are majestic and magnificent. The journey was a bit long, though. From the Ping'an parking lot, we took a shuttle bus to Jiulong Wuhu, then walked to Qixing Banyue, and then back to the parking lot. The journey was quite long, but the scenery was breathtaking. We took the Jinkeng cable car and got off, but didn't go to the Thousand-Layered Ladder (we ran out of time). The view from the Golden Buddha Summit gave us a sense of commanding the entire mountain range.
The Longji Rice Terraces are a magnificent epic! Across the mountain ridges, a thousand-layered green belt winds and swirls like a giant dragon leaping, a scene of extraordinary grandeur. In spring, water reflects the sky, summer brings swaying wheat fields, autumn paints golden waves to the clouds, and winter hides in a blanket of silver, the four seasons transforming into a picturesque scene. The terraces, stacked like stairways ascending to heaven, embody the wisdom of the Zhuang ancestors and the ingenuity of coexisting with nature, a timeless masterpiece of humanity's interplay with the mountains and rivers. Walking among them feels like strolling through a gallery of heaven and earth, a breathtaking experience!

We chose the bus + Samsung Cruise. The bus guide contacted the pick-up location in advance and picked us up on time early in the morning. It took more than half an hour to get to the pier. The guide explained the relevant things on the way. When we got to the pier, we saw many cruise ships waiting side by side. We boarded the ship based on the number and name. Some of the Samsung ships have different types. I bought the upper floor. There is a small balcony in front of the second floor where I can enjoy the breeze, take pictures, and enjoy the scenery. There are fewer people on the second floor than on the first floor, but the view on the top floor is the best, but it is sunny, so most people watch from the top floor. Lunch is provided on the boat, and the taste is average. You can go to Yangshuo for lunch, but most areas in Yangshuo are commercialized.
Guilin's landscapes are among the most beautiful in the world, and Yangshuo's are even more stunning than Guilin's. This Sichuan to Guangxi trip was incredibly successful. Our driver, Mr. Tan, was incredibly patient. He always picked us up downstairs early and patiently explained the sights to us during the trip, giving us a heads-up as we passed them. It was fantastic. Even though our two kids were making a lot of noise and joking in the car, Mr. Tan didn't seem to get annoyed at all. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I took my parents and children on a three-day, two-night trip to Guilin, visiting Elephant Trunk Hill, the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas, Yangshuo's Ten-Mile Art Gallery, and Xingping Ancient Town. I personally think the boat trip from Guilin to Yangshuo is the highlight of both Guilin and Yangshuo. For four hours, I thoroughly enjoyed the scenery along the river, while the rest of the itinerary was relatively insignificant. If you have the time, I highly recommend taking this boat trip.
"Guilin landscape is the world, Yangshuo landscape is Guilin", and the Lijiang is the essence of Yangshuo scenery. It is worth going. If you go there, you will fall in love with the must-check attractions: 1⃣ Huangbu Reflection (20 yuan on the back, the same style must be photographed) 2⃣​ Jiuma Painting Mountain (rock wall natural "Hummer", try counting 9 horses) 3⃣​ Xingping Ancient Town (Visit the old street, climb the old Zhai Mountain to see the Lijiang River turn) 4⃣​ Yulong River (Bamboo rafting, See the small and fresh scenery of the pastoral)

Wugong Mountain is the first choice for college students, so we also went to join in the fun. Although it rained heavily that day, it did not affect our mood for climbing the mountain. We will come back next year to see the beautiful scenery of Wugong Mountain.
The alpine meadows are truly worthy of their reputation! Absolutely beautiful! But the climb up is quite demanding! I recommend taking the Zhong'an Cableway from Shigu Temple to the mountainside, then ascending from Diaomazhuang, taking the cableway down from Jinding, and then continuing down the mountain by the Zhong'an Cableway. This way, you'll avoid straining your legs and knees. Because Diaomazhuang is very steep, there's no cableway down, so you have to walk, which is especially tough on your knees. It's definitely worth it! The cableway is also well worth the money, reducing the climbing distance by 50%.
