After taking photos at this hidden spot in Guilin, my friends thought I went to a wonderland!

📌Day 1: Strolling around Guilin city center 🌞7am: Elephant Trunk Hill Park (free photo spot: the viewing platform on the 7th floor of Jingxiang Hotel) 🍜Breakfast: Lao Dongjiang Main Store! CNY 5.5 for 2 liang of marinated noodles + crispy fried pork is a must! 🚢Afternoon: Li River and Four Lakes cruise (highly recommended at night! The lights are super beautiful) 🌃Evening: Stroll around East and West Alley for snacks (highly recommended: osmanthus cake, oil tea) 📌Day 2: A fun-filled day at Li River → Yangshuo ⛵️Morning: Yangdi-Nine Horses Mountain bamboo raft (CNY 160/person, remember to tip the boatman for taking photos) 📸Noon: Xingping Ancient Town, check in at the CNY 20 background (navigate to the viewing platform opposite "Wangwang Meishi Fish Restaurant") 🛵Afternoon: Rent an electric bike for CNY 30 and ride along the Yulong River (the section from Jiuxian Village → Jima Wharf is the least crowded!) 🍺Evening: Listen to music in a Yangshuo West Street bar (recommended: "Xiao Ma De Tian" bar) 📌Day 3: Secret adventure + shopping spree 🌄Morning: Lao Zhai Mountain to watch the sunrise (free! But be careful as the mountain road is steep) 🛍Noon: Visit Yangshuo Farmers Market (local specialties are half the price of those in scenic spots!) 💎Afternoon: Yinyan Cave (ticket price: CNY 65, super cool inside) 💥[Secrets that only locals know] 1️⃣ When ordering Guilin rice noodles, you have to say "2 liang of marinated noodles" so you won't be ripped off as a tourist. 2️⃣ Bargain the price of car rental in Yangshuo directly to CNY 30/day. 3️⃣ The light is the most beautiful on Li River bamboo rafts after 4pm. 4️⃣ Free entry to Elephant Trunk Hill after 5pm! 🍜[Must-eat list] ✅ Guilin rice noodles (recommended: Lao Dongjiang, Tonglaiguan) ✅ Yangshuo beer fish (group purchase is more cost-effective) ✅ Lipu taro pork ✅ Oil tea (try with caution! The taste is very special) 💰[Money-saving tips] ▪️ It only costs CNY 1 to take a bus between attractions in the city. ▪️ Choose a guesthouse instead of a hotel for accommodation in Yangshuo. ▪️ Book all tickets online one day in advance. 📣"Guilin is so beautiful! But it's a waste of time if you don't know how to have fun!" 💡Filming suggestions: 1️⃣ Li River aerial photography + "Blue and White Porcelain" BGM 2️⃣ Rice noodle shop real shot + noodle slurping sound effects 3️⃣ Riding vlog + fresh filter
