Five-day treasure travel plan for Guangxi, come and copy your homework! Guangxi has both the beauty of mountains and rivers and the romantic charm of the coast. Now set off with this guide! Guilin: The Beginning of a Landscape Painting 📍Must-see: Elephant Trunk Hill (Xiangshan District, Guilin City) The first stop upon arriving in Guilin must be Elephant Trunk Hill. Located at the confluence of the Li River and Taohua River, its shape resembles a giant elephant drinking water from the river, a truly remarkable sight. Here, you can take in the majestic and dynamic beauty of Guilin's landscapes. Every photo you take will be a masterpiece. 🍜Must-eat: Guilin Rice Noodles When you're tired from exploring, duck into a rice noodle shop on the street. Smooth and chewy rice noodles paired with savory gravy, crispy fried dough, and refreshing pickled beans—each bite is an irresistible temptation for your taste buds. Yangshuo: A Carefree Journey through Poetic Landscapes 📍Must-see: Li River (Yangshuo County) On the second day, take a bamboo raft down the river, admire the rows of bizarre peaks and the clear, flowing water on both sides, and experience the wonderful feeling of "being in a painting." 🍜Must-eat: Yangshuo Beer Fish As night falls, head to West Street and order the signature beer fish. Tender fish is stewed in a rich beer broth, filling the air with aroma. A bite of fish, a mouthful of rice—pure bliss. Longji Rice Terraces: The Heavenly Ladder of the Earth 📍Must-see: Longji Rice Terraces (Longsheng Various Nationalities Autonomous County, Longji Town, Guilin City) On the third day, head to the Longji Rice Terraces. The cascading terraces rise up like a ladder to the sky, offering different scenery in each season. No matter when you come, you will be amazed by the magnificent rural landscape. 🍜Must-eat: Bamboo Rice When you're tired, have some bamboo rice. The fragrance of bamboo permeates the soft and glutinous rice, and every bite is filled with the taste of nature. Beihai: Romance of a Coastal City 📍Must-see: Silver Beach (Yinhai District, Beihai City) On the fourth day, visit Beihai Silver Beach. The sand here is fine and silvery under the sunlight. Walking barefoot on the beach and feeling the gentle caress of the sea breeze is incredibly relaxing. 🍜Must-eat: Seafood Feast In the evening, go to Qiaogang Style Street and enjoy a sumptuous seafood feast. Freshly caught shrimp, crabs, shellfish, and snails, simply cooked, allow you to savor the authentic taste of the sea. Weizhou Island: Where Volcanoes Meet the Sea 📍Must-see: Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area (Weizhou Island, central Beibu Gulf, Beihai City) On the fifth day, board Weizhou Island and check in at Crocodile Mountain Scenic Area. The unique volcanic geological landscape will leave you in awe of the wonders of nature. 🍜Must-eat: Banana Chicken Don't forget to try the island's specialty banana chicken. The tender chicken, with a hint of banana sweetness, offers a unique flavor. The charm of Guangxi goes far beyond this. Pack your bags and experience this unique beauty for yourself!

Guilin, renowned for its stunning landscapes, offers romantic sunsets that resemble a vibrant orange sea. As the sun dips below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow upon the Lijiang River and surrounding mountains, every moment is a speechless spectacle. Here's my insider's guide to experiencing the perfect Guilin sunset. Save it now! 👍️Why you should go: In Guilin, sunset is not just a change in the sky, but a magical interplay of scenery and light. The rolling mountains and shimmering Lijiang River are bathed in a golden light, creating a breathtaking spectacle. Whether you're a photography enthusiast or a romantic, you're guaranteed an unforgettable experience. 📅What to do: • Best viewing spots: ◦ Lijiang Riverbank in Xingping Ancient Town: Get up close to the Lijiang River, with the iconic 20 RMB banknote scene as your foreground. The sunset silhouettes of the mountains and river create a truly captivating scene. ◦ Xiangong Mountain: Enjoy unparalleled panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. As the sun sets, the golden light filters through the peaks, creating a stunning layered effect. ◦ Laozhai Mountain: Located in Xingping Ancient Town, this mountain offers an easy climb to the summit, where you can overlook the entire town and the winding Lijiang River. The sunset, combined with the charm of the ancient town, creates a blend of tranquility and romance. • Timing: Spring and autumn: around 6–7pm; Summer: around 7–8pm; Winter: around 5–6pm. Check the sunset time in advance and arrive 1–2 hours early to secure a good spot and witness the changing light before sunset. 🍜Where to eat: • Guilin Rice Noodles: Enjoy a bowl of these delicious noodles before watching the sunset. The smooth noodles, rich marinade, and crispy toppings are incredibly satisfying. We recommend Chongshan Rice Noodles and Ritouhuo Rice Noodles. • Yangshuo Beer Fish: Fresh fish from the Lijiang River is braised in beer, resulting in tender fish and a rich broth. If you like spicy food, be sure to ask for some chili. You can't go wrong with any of the small restaurants in Xingping Ancient Town. • Lipu Taro and Pork: This dish features melt-in-your-mouth pork belly and soft, sweet taro. You can find authentic versions of this dish in local restaurants. 🏨Where to stay: • Guilin City Center: For convenient access to attractions, choose a hotel near Elephant Trunk Hill or Zhengyang Pedestrian Street. Prices range from GBP 22–55, and dining and transportation are readily available. • Yangshuo Xingping Ancient Town: This is the perfect place to stay if you're planning to watch the sunset. We recommend riverside guesthouses, where you can enjoy stunning views of the Lijiang River right from your window. Prices range from GBP 44–88, but rooms are in high demand, so book in advance. 💗Other tips: • Bring a lightweight tripod for long-exposure sunset shots. • There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, so bring mosquito repellent. • If you're driving, parking spaces at some viewing points are limited, so it's best to arrive early. • It can be windy during sunset, so bring a jacket.
