Off-peak travel | A 2-day, 1-night trip to lesser-known spots in Guilin blew up with questions

The scenery in Guilin really shocked me The karst topography is just too amazing Little hills can be seen everywhere on the road Driving through felt like entering a vast mountain range, very healing- - ⏰ The next three months of June, July, and August are the best time to visit Guilin. I've been to Guilin before and visited all the classic spots. This time I specifically went to some lesser-known places and successfully avoided most of the crowds during the peak season. - 🗺️ Recommended 2-day, 1-night Guilin itinerary D1: Qifeng Village➡️ Dabie Mountains➡️ Zhuangyuan Bridge➡️ Yongfu Sinkhole➡️ Stay at a homestay near Yulong River➡️ West Street D2: Homestay➡️ Mandarin Duck Cave➡️ Chaotian Rock - ✅ Qifeng Village 🧭 Navigation: Entrance of Dongshan Village (bus station) It's a hill behind the village, with wild paths trodden by people. It takes about 20 minutes to climb up, and it's a great place to watch the sunrise. I was also lucky to capture the Tyndall effect here. - ✅ Dabie Mountains Stopped here suddenly during a self-drive trip. The lonely tree combined with the mountain backdrop has an animated beauty. - ✅ Zhuangyuan Bridge Zhuangyuan Bridge is a great place to take photos with the vast Guilin mountains. You can stand on the bridge to take pictures, or cross the bridge and stand on the grass. - ✅ Yongfu Sinkhole Ticket🎫: 50 The innermost part is a unique sinkhole formed under the Guilin karst topography. The scenic area is well-developed, with stairs leading all the way down. There are also many stalactites to see along the way. You can use a wide-angle lens to take a photo of the sinkhole and people from below. - ✅ Yulong River Scenic Area Stay at a homestay near the Yulong River Scenic Area in the evening. It feels really special to live inside the vast mountains, and I watched a sunset that belonged to the karst landscape here. - ✅ Mandarin Duck Cave Navigation: Xiningge Inn Near the homestay, it's a cave entrance that only locals go to. Because it connects two caves, locals call it Mandarin Duck Cave. Follow the path behind the inn up the hill, and you'll reach it in 15 minutes. You can take photos with the vast mountains. - ✅ Chaotian Rock 🧭 Navigation: Chaotian Rock It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the parking area. The cave is very slippery, and it's a very large sinkhole. At noon, the light can shine directly into the cave entrance and form the Tyndall effect. - 🌟 After visiting Guilin again, I still marvel at the unsurpassed beauty of Guilin's landscape. Every place is so beautiful, and the unique karst topography makes this land filled with difference.
