Guilin's pitfall avoidance strategy and highlights

I just came back from Guilin and felt like I was ripped off. Friends planning to come here should be careful. To be honest, Guilin itself is a very good city. Its unique natural beauty of mountains and rivers provides people with countless employment opportunities and jobs. Everyone actually hopes to improve the reputation of this tourist city, but there are still many tourism chaos and old-fashioned consumption traps. Times are advancing. Guilin is such a beautiful city. When you come here, you should have fun and take beautiful photos. I hope these black tricks can be eliminated soon. ❤️Today I have compiled some ⚠️lightning avoidance strategies and the ✅latest ways to play in Guilin. The content is very practical, remember to collect it 📝. 💥💥Guilin pit avoidance guide: ⭐1. Don’t take the bamboo raft at Elephant Trunk Hill! The scenery is average, and the ticket price is not worth it just to go around the Elephant Trunk Hill! ⭐2. Yangshuo is heavily commercialized. When taking a taxi, pay special attention to whether the driver takes a detour. Also, do not ask the driver for recommendations on attractions or restaurants, as these are consumer traps! ⭐3. There are many people soliciting customers outside the scenic spots and on the roads in Yangshuo. No matter what they say, ignore them and don’t be greedy! ⭐4. The Sun and Moon Towers are brightest from 19:00 to 23:00, which is suitable for viewing the night view! Don’t go up the tower, the tower is mainly used to sell things! ⭐5. The ticket price for Yulong River bamboo rafting is uniform. Don’t believe in the so-called discounted tickets. Those are just to take you to the river to play, not the official ones! ⭐6. It is not recommended to go to Laozhaishan, the same viewing spot as Xianggongshan. Laozhaishan is an unmanaged wild mountain with narrow roads and small stairs, which is unsafe! ⭐7. Yangshuo Opera House is a shopping spot. There is a big hydrangea underneath. Don’t be curious and don’t go in when you pass by! ⭐8. Don’t take the Sanqianli bamboo raft in Xingping Ancient Town. Under the guise of being able to check in for a 20-yuan RMB background, they actually take you to a small ditch where you can’t see the 20-yuan background at all! ⭐9. Yangshuo Station is quite far from Yangshuo County, and the journey takes about 1 hour. It is recommended to take a Li River cruise or bus to Yangshuo; ⭐10. Don’t eat beer fish in West Street. It is expensive and tastes bad. It is recommended to order beer fish online when eating in Yangshuo; ⭐11. Don't sign up for a tour group when visiting Guilin city. The attractions are concentrated and you can travel on your own. ⭐12. Currently, there are no cases of rafting workers asking for tips on the Yulong River bamboo rafts. If you encounter such a situation, just complain and request to change the rafting workers. ✅Recommended best routes 🌸One-day tour D1.
