What travelers say:

20230314 Morning: 1. "Lyric Water Village" is a comprehensive scenic spot that integrates food, accommodation, scenery and humanities with the theme of ethnic Yi people. It is also a village where the Yi people live in real life. In 2014, the state funded the migration of Yi people living in the hard life in the old village in the deep mountains. To the comfortable surroundings of the city, it belongs to a kind of poverty alleviation project. ① Address: No. 331 Xiangtang Road, Xiangshan District, Guilin City. ② Transportation: Direct bus, easy to stop by car. ③ Popular season: No. ④ Time: 2 hours. 2. 2. This scenic spot is included in the "Lijiang Day Tour" product I bought on Trip.com. The entrance is greeted by the silver Yi totem and wooden waterwheel, and the tall and spectacular is the photo spot. After entering the scenic spot, tourists will be arranged to guide a Yi tour guide. First, they will come to the "Yi folk customs exhibition hall". There is a stage outside the hall, and the difference between the decoration and the Central Plains area is obvious. 3. The exhibition hall introduces the customs of Yi people's eating, wearing, living, traveling, farming, marriage, festivals, music in the form of physical objects, models and graphics. The first room actually erected a lot of huge stalactites, can move so many big stones into the room is also careful, Guilin is famous for the karst landscape, almost every mountain has caves. The wedding rooms, silverware and "rich wells" (the tall well pavilions add a sense of mystery. There is also a "longevity well" at the exit, which is almost the same) are high-value photo spots. The model of Yi cuisine is very realistic and mouth-watering. 4. After leaving the exhibition hall, there is an altar, but you can't take pictures. Then cross the "wind and rain bridge" with several ethnic characteristics. The bridge has a loft-style roof to avoid the rain. It is both like a bridge and a building. There is a free glutinous rice wine tasting provided by the scenic spot at the entrance of the bridge. The bridge has cow skulls on both sides, and a small altar compartment is set up. In the past, such grounded minority bridges have been less seen in the journey. After crossing the bridge, there is a sculpture of the essence of the scenic spot in the center of the "Silver Juke Square". A large silver juke "dangling" pours water down, and the support column is hidden in the water flow, so the teapot seems to be hanging, surrounded by the dining area. The "Dai Drum Tower" in the distance is like a small tower, which is also a spectacular photo spot. The Drum Tower can pay for drumming and praying. 5. Enter the residential area, and there are portraits of Chairman Mao and Chairman Xi on the lobby of each house. We entered a house, a Yi mother-in-law with nearly 2 meters long hair showed tourists how to platter hair, and washed their hair with natural rice water. Finally, we used a silver comb to scrape the link for tourists for free, and then unexpectedly took tourists to the silverware store to shop. At the entrance of the silverware store, the "Baifu Yinke" staring at the stone statue of the twelve zodiac zodiac is a photo spot. 6. There is a performance stage behind the silverware store, and there may be performance programs in the scenic spot. Finally, through the botanical park, there are fighter jets flying overhead, and the neighborhood should be a flight training field. At the end of the tour, it took a little more than an hour. At noon, the bamboo chicken eaten at the roadside restaurant outside the scenic spot was shocking, but the taste was similar to ordinary stewed chicken.
