In Guilin!!! Not Switzerland!! This is the most successful trend-following I've ever done!!

Guilin's scenery is the best in the world!! When the weather is clear, every minute feels like walking in an ink painting!! The continuous beautiful green mountains and waters are so healing! Posting ⭕ makes people think I went to Switzerland. When you come to Guilin, don't rush to Yangshuo right after getting off the train. Be sure to spend a day in the city. Taste local snacks, visit Elephant Trunk Hill and the Two Rivers and Four Lakes. This small city surrounded by mountains and waters is really beautiful!! ✔Attached 📷 super practical guide: 📍Location: 20 minutes drive from Guilin North Station to 'Guihai Qinglan', the ticket 🎫 is only 25!! However, the location is relatively remote, and only the ticket gate has simple water and ice cream for sale. You can bring a picnic mat and food for a picnic 🧺. 👗Outfit: Pure white or pure black dresses will look more advanced and photogenic‼‼ Also, bring a woven hat as a prop, it looks great whether you wear it or place it beside you! 📷Shooting time: On a sunny day with blue sky and white clouds, from 5 PM to 7 PM, around 6:30 PM when the sunset light falls, it's stunning! ‼Tips: Be sure to do a good job of sun protection!! We weren't bitten by mosquitoes when we went, but it's still safer to bring some mosquito repellent!! Watch out for kids when they are near the lake!

Elephant Trunk Hill Park

Elephant Trunk Hill Park is a lovely place to visit even on a wetter day. The park meanders around much of the lake, and while it can be very busy in places, it is not hard to find peace and quiet. The views from the top are fantastic, and the views of the main rock from across the lake are lovely. Not worth a specific trip, but definitely a nice extra if you are in or near Guilin.#guilin #Elephant #parks #lakes

The best park in Guilin

#awesomepic #urbanexplorer #park #photoshoot Xiangshan scenic area is located in the centre of Guilin, it is a large park divided into several zones: Love Island, Elephant trunk hill etc. There are some sculptures of Chinese nationalities, and a shop with national clothes, that you can rent. For 200 rmb you can take professional photos with beautiful park views. And you can buy a sign and write your wish and leave it in a special place.

As mostly when we do the travel, it is like a protocol that we stay in a hotel and go to touristy places. But this time we decided to turn a stranger to a friend; yea I'm talking about homestay. This house we contacted through a mutual friend and they are more than glad to have us in their house. So we had a warm stay in Guilin village, with lunch & dinner from freshly caught pond fish and other yummies. We had two relaxed days at their place and later on third day went to have a look in the city; also went to the famous elephant nose hill with lot of elephants playing around there 😋 (ofcourse dummies they are). So next time, try something different like a home stay and relax !! #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#lightthecity

Through the long years, many stalactites, stalagmites, stone pillars, stone sarcophagi and stone flowers have been formed. When you visit, you must have a guide to explain the doorway.

Here, so I can't help but look at it. [] Du Xiufeng is the core scenic spot of Wangfu in Jingjiang Wangfu. It can overlook the entire Guilin City when you climb the summit. The view is superb. About food: Guilin rice noodles are a must! Once called the two or two powders, and then the crispy pork, sour bamboo shoots, beans and other things together, very delicious, basically the taste of many local people on the road is very authentic. Authentic Guilin cuisine can choose Guiyou dining room, near the east and west lanes, the taste is authentic, and the oil tea is also super delicious.

101Guide: Guilin Elephant Trunk Hill 象鼻山 in 60mins

#100waysoftravel #elephanttrunkhill #guilin 👀 Introduction: The Elephant 🐘 Trunk Hill 象鼻山 is FREE for all to enter but tourists will need to scan a QR code at the entrance before allowing entry. It is located near the city 🏙️ at the north of Guilin City, and is one of the hottest attractions 🏖️ and landmark in Guilin. Legend has it that the Guilin folks believe that it is the embodiment of an Elephant God that got separated from the Emperor 👑 during war but got stranded in Guilin. Well, that's just a myth probably. 🏖️ The Attraction: Before reaching the entrance of Elephant 🐘 Trunk Hill, we were greeted with a long stretch of flea-market like book fair which we spent 15mins looking around. There's arts 🎨 & crafts stuffs, books 📚 and other interesting items for sale here. However, do note that the place is especially crowded 👬 during the afternoon. The main feature here is a natural formation of rocks protruding from the cliff which resembles an elephant trunk (hence the name). It's a pretty Instagrammable 📸 spot but be prepared to fight your way through for a good spot as you will be amongst the hundreds of tourist doing the same. Besides the Elephant 🐘 Trunk, there are also various activities such as the a boat 🛥️ ride around the hill which I think is the best way to fully appreciate the scenic landscape or just appreciate what mother nature has created here. There are also musicians 🎶 doing gigs here which is pretty cool. We especially like the one that modified his guitar 🎸 using different parts - including a large water 💦 container...cool. 🔚 Conclusion Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 4/5 The place is relaxing and we really enjoyed ourselves here (especially when the entrance fee is FREE ☺️). It would have scored a higher rating if the place wasn't that super crowded, coz we spent most time dodging other tourist instead of appreciating the place. Finally, there are also lots of market and souvenir shops around. So give it a try.. It's FREE anyway 😉.
