Guilin Sunset | Encounter the Dreamlike Sunset Glow Among the Mountains and Rivers

| Encounter the dreamlike sunset glow among the mountains and rivers. Guilin's sunsets are a beautiful painting gifted by nature, and each sunset viewing spot has its own unique charm. Today, we'll share a guide to Guilin's hidden sunset gems.📖 Guilin City Area - Diecai Hill: As the highest mountain in Guilin's city area, it's the perfect place to enjoy a panoramic view of the entire city. Watch the sunset from Xianhe Cave, take silhouette photos inside the cave, and feel as if you're in a beautiful picture frame, taking in Guilin's mountains, rivers, and the sunset's afterglow.  - Chuan Shan Park: Here lies Tashan Qingying, one of the "Eight Old Scenic Spots of Guilin." Reaching the top of "Chuan Shan North Pavilion" only takes 15–20 minutes, and the entire staircase has handrails, making it an easy climb. From here, you can overlook the entire Guilin city area, with the Lijiang River encircling it, distant mountain peaks forming a forest, and the interplay of light and shadow resembling a traditional Chinese ink painting.  - Sun and Moon Pagodas: Guilin's new city landmark, the Sun Pagoda is a copper tower, and the Moon Pagoda is a glazed tile tower. The two towers are connected by a 10m underwater tunnel. At sunset, the twin pagodas shimmer under the glow of the sunset, creating a dreamlike scene.  Yangshuo Area - Xianggong Hill: This is a classic spot for watching sunrise and sunset over the Lijiang River. Ascend to the top, and before you lies the winding Lijiang River, with peculiar peaks lining both banks. At sunset, the golden sunlight sprinkles on the river's surface, creating shimmering waves that complement the distant mountains, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.  - Ruyi Peak: Known as Yangshuo's "City in the Sky," after taking the cable car up the mountain, you can walk along the glass walkway in the forest and reach the summit to overlook the peaks of Yangshuo. At sunset, the afterglow paints the mountains orange-red, offering an incredibly vast view, as if you're in a fairyland.  Other Areas - Yao Hill: The highest peak in Guilin, from the top, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Guilin city, the Lijiang River, Yangshuo, and other scenic spots. The sunset here is magnificent, with rays of light dyeing the entire sky and earth golden, allowing you to experience the grandeur of nature.  - Zijiang Tianmen Mountain: A classic example of Danxia landforms in Guilin, with a natural archway towering over the Zijiang River. Whether you take the cable car or hike up the mountain, you can appreciate the stunning sunset here. As the sun sets, the red sunset glow complements the red Danxia landforms, creating a magical scene.
