Guilin is so beautiful! It's super photogenic, you must visit at least once, folks!

Guilin's scenery is the finest under heaven! Here's a 3-day, 2-night lazy itinerary that covers all the highlights without exhausting you ✨ 🏞️ Trip Highlights: DAY1: Elephant Trunk Hill Park → Two Rivers and Four Lakes Night Cruise - Elephant Trunk Hill is the symbol of Guilin. The park is small and can be explored in about an hour. Don't forget to take a photo with the elephant trunk! 🐘 - Be sure to take a night cruise to see the Two Rivers and Four Lakes. The Sun and Moon Pagodas under the lights are breathtaking (boat ticket 210/person). DAY2: Li River Bamboo Raft → Xingping Ancient Town → Yangshuo West Street - The Yangdi to Xingping section is the essence of the Li River, featuring the Nine Horses Fresco Hill and Yellow Cloth Shoal reflection 🏞️. We recommend the electric bamboo raft (160/person). - Xingping Ancient Town has the spot featured on the 20 RMB bill—bring a bill for photos! - Stay overnight in Yangshuo; West Street's bars and unique shops are great for exploring. DAY3: Yulong River Drift → Silver Cave - The Yulong River's hand-rowed bamboo raft is incredibly relaxing (the Jinlong Bridge to Jiuxian section is the most classic). - The Silver Cave is spectacular and super cool inside—remember to bring a jacket ❄️. 🍜 Must-Try Foods: 1. Guilin Rice Noodles (Lao Dongjiang Rice Noodles flagship store) 2. Beer Fish (Sister Xie's Beer Fish) 3. Lipu Taro Pork Belly 4. Oil Tea (you might need to get used to the taste). 💡 Practical Tips: - Guilin's attractions are spread out; consider hiring a private car or joining a day tour. - May to October is the high-water season, ideal for visiting. - Bring mosquito repellent and sunscreen. - For souvenirs, large supermarkets are cheaper than scenic spots.
