Guilin has so much energy, truly deserving the title of "the best landscape under heaven" 🌄

Guilin Yangshuo 3 days 2 nights luxury light travel, carefully selected attractions with no disappointments 💫 This small town surrounded by mountains and rivers is perfect for relaxing. Pick a few of the most essential spots and take your time to enjoy. Sunbathe, ride bamboo rafts, eat beer fish... This is the right way to enjoy a vacation 🌈 🏞️ Must-visit Attractions Special 📍 West Street The busiest pedestrian street in Yangshuo, even more atmospheric at night. Both sides of the bluestone road are lined with unique shops and bars. Recommended to visit in the evening, it feels amazing when the lights come on. Tips: This area is quite commercialized, remember to bargain when shopping. 📍 Yulong River Rafting (Jinlong Bridge - Old County section) This is the real way to experience Guilin’s landscape! A 90-minute bamboo raft ride is super healing. Buying tickets online in advance is more cost-effective. Wear slippers for easy boarding and disembarking. For better photos, remember to wear light-colored clothes. 📍 Guihai Qinglan A newly popular hidden photo spot. Large lawns and karst landscapes in one frame. Perfect for wearing dresses to take great photos. There is a sightseeing shuttle within the scenic area. The light is softest after 4 PM. 🎈 Hidden Activities ▪️ Hot air balloon experience next to West Street An excellent vantage point overlooking the entire Yulong River. Recommended to ride at dusk. The light is gentle and you can watch the sunset. (It only opens in good weather.) ▪️ Ride an electric scooter along the Ten-Mile Gallery Free mountain and water scenery all along the way. You can rent a scooter for 20 yuan/day. Remember to apply sunscreen! 🍲 Food Guide ▪️ Beer fish is a must-try! Recommended old brand Xie Sanjie. ▪️ Snail stuffing and bamboo tube rice are also specialties. ▪️ The chill bars on West Street are recommended, especially "Si Shui Liu Nian." 🏡 Accommodation Suggestions ▪️ Homestays along the Yulong River have amazing views. ▪️ Near West Street is convenient but noisy. ▪️ If budget allows, consider Banyan Tree. ✨ Tips 1. Yangshuo is small, 3 days is enough to cover the highlights. 2. Taking taxis between attractions is very convenient. 3. May to October is the best season to visit.

Xingping Ancient Town

Yangshuo Escape: 2 Days Among Karst Peaks Here’s my 2-day Yangshuo blast 🏞️🦙: karst mountains, river walks, lantern-lit streets, and China’s most stunning outdoor show! 📍Day 1: Wake up to killer mountain views - make sure you book a room facing the karst peaks for sunrise selfies. Hop a taxi to Ruyi Peak Cableway Scenic Area (Peak Ruyi Scenic Spot, Gaotian Town, Yangshuo, 08:30–17:00, ¥208). Grab the cable car for ride up and soak in super Instagrammable panoramas. Next, slide over to Gongnong Bridge for a riverside stroll; rural life and flower fields are a vibe here. Don’t miss the local alpaca farm - random but awesome! At sunset, get tickets for Impression Sanjie Liu, the open-air Li River show. The scenery? Incredible! 📍Day 2: Walk upstream from Gongnong Bridge along the "10 Mile Gallery." This 10km riverside route is pure nature porn - clouds, mountains, ponds, river. If you’re tired, jump on a bamboo raft at one of the stations and go back. Afterwards, taxi out to Xingping Ancient Town. Do the iconic motorized raft ride past the landscape that inspired the 10-yuan bill. Wrap up in bustling Yangshuo West Street. Hang with locals, eat legendary beer fish, and watch lanterns light up the night. 🚕Getting Around: Taxis are quick and cheap. 🍽️Food: Try beer fish, Guilin noodles, and local snacks on West Street. 🌤️Weather: Spring (March-May) is perfect for walks, but may be cloudy! 💰Money: Most places take Alipay/WeChat Pay. Carry some cash for raft rides and street eats. #YangshuoViews #ChinaOutdoor #LiRiverShow #TripcomTravel #NatureBliss
