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. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Not many people visit, and it's still underdeveloped. Admission is free if you recite the Yueyang Tower Inscription.
The weather was beautiful and sunny.
The breeze by the river was refreshing, making it worth a thorough visit.
The weather was very hot, but the scenery was beautiful. There was history, scenery, and what I read in books and felt with my heart. It was not bad. Worry about the world first, and then enjoy the world.

This is a theme park perfect for children. ⚠️ Parking is in the underground parking lot 300 meters away from Window of the World.
1. In the summer, be sure to wear sunscreen and bring plenty of food and water.
2. Must-try attractions include the Ferris wheel, the "Go Forward" ride, the "Pendulum Ride," and the roller coaster.
3. Some food stalls sell food, but they're quite expensive.
It's worth a visit. It's recommended to go at night because the sun is too strong during the day. However, the children had a lot of fun. The wild people of Malan Mountain had water splashing interactions, and they were still happy even if they got wet... The layout of the venue is a bit scattered, the signs are clear, and the waiting time for some projects is a bit long. It is recommended to inform tourists of the approximate waiting time and whether each project is open should also be clearly informed

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.
Yuelu Academy is a large academy. There's a reception desk at the entrance, where you can join a group for a 45-minute guided tour covering the central axis and the Temple of Confucius. The academy's west gate is near the Aiwan Pavilion, while the east gate is directly opposite Hunan University.
Yuelu Academy, nestled in a mountainside setting, is one of the four great academies of ancient China. A thousand years old, it remains remarkably well-preserved, a microcosm of the long history of education in Chinese civilization. The academy boasts elegant landscaping and magnificent architecture.

It is very cool inside the Huanglong Cave, so it is recommended to bring a thin jacket. The scenery is very beautiful. The ticket includes a guide's explanation and a boat tour. In addition, it cost 25 per person to experience the secret realm of the Dragon Palace, which is breathtaking.
It is worth going. The cave is very cool as described. There are various stalactites and stalagmites. Amei's explanation is very good. After talking about it, you can imagine it. With the lights in the cave, it feels like entering a time tunnel. It is highly recommended.

The price/performance ratio is acceptable. The scenery is great, but unfortunately the weather was bad, cloudy and rainy in the afternoon. The fog was quite thick, and there was basically no scenery to see in the second half! The climb was indeed very easy.
There are elevators for those with large elevation differences, but no climbing required. Suitable for the elderly and children. Enter and exit from the east gate. Take the cable car first, then start your walk. There are stone benches throughout for rest. When we visited, the middle section was still under construction; there's no restaurant at the top, so only water, drinks, and snacks are available. A bit pricey. I personally don't think the mountaintop accommodations are worth the price.
A B&B nearby is more cost-effective.

It's really big inside and quite picturesque, but it's hot and sunny. There are large green lawns, which used to be a golf course. If you go there with children, remember to rent a car, as those cars are very expensive and slow.
It is recommended to buy this package. Take the tour bus to the innermost Swan Lake in one breath, then walk around and take photos, then take the bus back to the entrance and walk and take photos again! Take a taxi at the entrance to the parking lot🅿️

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.

It's worth a visit. There are different performances throughout the day. They're activities too, so you won't necessarily get bored just walking around and taking photos.
Changsha Huayi Brothers Film Town has its own unique narrative style among many cultural and tourism towns across the country. This is not only a real-life film location, but also a place of life aesthetics that deeply integrates "film IP" and "international culture". Among them, the "Italian Town Block" inspired by the movie "Fated" is particularly eye-catching. The film itself tells a love story across China and Italy, and in the construction of the town, Changsha has truly "built" this screen love into a real space that can be visited, lived in, and experienced.
When people come here, they can encounter street musicians on the steps of the "Assisi"-style mountain city, or sit on a gondola in the "Venice"-like water lanes and listen to the boatman's low singing; they can walk into a century-old Italian leather goods store and smell the blend of leather and time, or drink a cup of authentic Espresso in a traditional Italian coffee shop and chat with strangers about poetry and the distance.

It's worth a visit. The top of the mountain is very cool and it's a summer resort. The scenery is also beautiful, especially the plank road. The scenery is pleasant, it's very long and there are very few people. It's recommended for those who like climbing but are afraid of crowds. It's great!
The mountaintop train from Mingyue Mountain to Yangsimu is worth a try on a clear day. The scenery is blue sky, white clouds, and lush greenery. Entering the cave, passing through the tunnel, and emerging onto another mountaintop is truly a rare and wonderful experience.
If the train were cleaner inside and out, and the windows were brighter, the experience would be even better.
