Instead of checking in at Wuzhen, explore the lesser-known ancient architectural complex around Guilin

Do you remember 'On the Love of the Lotus'? I love the lotus for it grows out of the mud and yet is not contaminated, it bathes in the clear ripples but is not seductive. For the May Day outing, I choose to avoid the crowds and visit the village built by the descendants of Zhou Dunyi, centered around the culture of loving the lotus. Just a self-drive 🚗 for about an hour on the national road and you'll be there. 📍Jiangtou Village (Lingchuan County) is an architectural site from the Ming and Qing dynasties ✅ Maiden Tower ✅ Scholar Street ✅ Juren Alley ✅ Lotus Family Ancestral Hall ✅ Dragon Protection Bridge ✅ Zichu Tower When summer comes, there will also be lotus flowers 🪷 blooming in the Lotus Pond. Don't miss out if you like exploring ancient architecture‼️ The ancient town is not big, and it takes about 1-2 hours to tour around. Then you can drive to 📍Tanxia Town Tanxia Market to catch the market and enjoy delicious food ✅ Shagu Rice (a kind of sticky sweet soup) ✅ Sauce-flavored cakes ✅ Various kinds of rice cakes (look for Huang's) ✅ Various spicy hot and fried skewers

Yangshuo Guide: Understand everything in one article and have fun in the essence of Guilin

Transportation🚗: It is recommended to take the high-speed train directly to Yangshuo, and note that the highlights of Guilin are mostly concentrated in Yangshuo. During the peak season, purchase round-trip tickets at least one week in advance to avoid competing with the 'special forces' of college students. For short-distance travel in between, if you can't get a taxi, you need to bargain with motorcycle taxis and private cars to avoid being overcharged. Accommodation🏠: It is recommended to stay in a riverside hotel on West Street by the Li River, where opening the curtains allows you to be greeted by mountains, with the Li River also within close reach, immersing oneself in nature. If you need to take night scene photos, staying in Xingping is even better. Routes/Check-in Spots💞: After exiting Yangshuo high-speed train station, turn left to the bus station and take a 5 yuan bus to Xingping Ancient Town; search for Wangwang Food Fish Restaurant on Baidu, and go down the steps opposite to experience the Li River landscape that appears on the 20 yuan note during the day. Those who come to Guilin for the first time will definitely be shocked, as if they are in the beautiful scenery from textbooks. After viewing the daytime scenery of the 20 yuan note background, search for Xingping Wharf on Baidu, take a ferry to the opposite wharf, casually find a private motorcycle or sightseeing car, and travel about 10 kilometers up the mountain to reach Xianggong Mountain Scenic Area (entrance ticket 60 yuan). It takes about 15-20 minutes to climb to the viewing platform to appreciate the essence of the Li River and the big bend ❗❗❗This place is a must-visit Return to Xingping from the wharf, go back to the 20 yuan check-in spot (Wangwang Food Fish Restaurant), and take photos of the Li River landscape around 6:20 pm, spending 20 yuan to take a photo with an old man on a bamboo raft, which is very wonderful! If you stay in Xingping, you can come back to take photos of the Li River night scene after 8 pm; if you stay on West Street, you need to get to Xingping bus station before 7 pm and take a 15 yuan bus to Yangshuo County. The next day, starting from West Street, you can rent an electric bike to ride through the Ten-Mile Gallery. Here are two recommended check-in spots—the big bridge at the Comprehensive Wharf and the dam near Jimah Wharf (navigate to Shuangliu Yiduting). If you can get up early (before 8 am), you can also go queue up to take a bamboo raft

In another week, they will probably all fall, and the scenic spots will be jammed with traffic. So, I avoided the tourists and found a ginkgo forest in the village to camp.

When you step into Guilin, it's like walking into a natural landscape painting. 🌳Natural Scenery: The Lijiang River is undoubtedly the soul of Guilin. Take a bamboo raft down the river, and you'll see the clear water reflecting the strange peaks on both sides, each with its own unique shape.

Not Suzhou or Hangzhou! I didn't expect there to be a Jiangnan-style ancient town in Guilin!

🏞✨Guilin's charm is not limited to its beautiful mountains and rivers. As you get to know the city, you'll find that Guilin has preserved many ancient villages from the Ming and Qing dynasties, with high horsehead walls and gray tiles that resemble the Jiangnan water towns of Suzhou and Hangzhou. 🏞✨There are many villages around Guilin, like Jiangtou Village, that have both beautiful scenery and ancient charm. The ancient houses and the surrounding landscape reflect each other. Walking along the cobblestone village roads and through the high brick walls of the Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, you feel as if you have traveled back in time. 🏡✨The village has preserved ancient residential buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties. These old houses are works of art in themselves. In the ancient buildings of Jiangtou Village, you can see the elegant simplicity and exquisite beauty of ancient Suzhou and Anhui architecture, as well as the decorative patterns of ancient Fujian and Guangdong architecture, which combine to form the unique charm of Jiangtou Village's old buildings. 🏡✨The ancient village's alleys crisscross each other, and the traces of time are left in every brick and tile. Most of these ancient buildings are traditional courtyard-style layouts, and each old building is like a living history book, telling the stories of miracles carved by time. 🏞✨Whether it was bad timing or these old houses are never open to the public, these old houses are all locked up, giving off a cold feeling. Only the afternoon sun shines brightly on the high walls, dazzling with blinding light. 🌠✨Only occasionally can you see a hunched old woman sitting by the lotus pond in front of the old house, staring blankly at the large but thin lotus leaves swaying in the wind, listening to the sound of autumn cicadas chirping in the trees.
