The beauty of Elephant Trunk Hill lies not only in its unique elephant-trunk-like shape, but also in its hazy beauty when shrouded in mist and rain. Bordering the Lijiang River, half resting on land and half submerged in the river, the mountain and water complement each other, forming the essence of Guilin's scenery. Between the "trunk" and "legs" of the elephant lies the Water Moon Cave, resembling a bright moon floating on the water, creating the famous "Elephant Trunk Hill Water Moon" scene. This view combines clear mountains, beautiful waters, wondrous caves, unique rocks, and stunning reflections. Two Rivers and Four Lakes is one of Guilin's scenic highlights, comparable to the beauty of "Little Venice." To witness the cityscape of "thousands of mountains encircling the wilderness, a single river embracing the city," a visit to Two Rivers and Four Lakes is a must when in Guilin. Two Rivers refers to the Lijiang River and Peach Blossom River. Four Lakes refers to Shan Lake, Rong Lake, Gui Lake, and Mulong Lake.🍃

Two Rivers and Four Lakes is one of the calling cards of Guilin's landscape, boasting a reputation comparable to 'Little Venice'. In Guilin, one can see the urban landscape of 'thousands of mountains surrounding the wild, with one river embracing the city'. It served as a sub-venue for the 2017 CCTV Spring Festival Gala. The Four Lakes (Banyan Lake, Fir Lake, Osmanthus Lake, and Wooden Dragon Lake) are presented in sequence, connecting the Li River and the Peach Blossom River. 【Transportation】 It is more convenient to go there by electric scooter. Taking a taxi during the tourist season can lead to traffic jams. It is very close to Zhengyang Street, where you can take a walk and browse around. 【Attractions】 ✅ Night tour of the Four Lakes ✅ City-encircling day tour ✅ Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas ✅ Glass Bridge ✅ Lize Bridge ✅ Lake Center Island ✅ Wooden Dragon Lake ✅ Banyan and Fir Lakes Scenic Area ✅ Osmanthus Lake Scenic Area ✅ Ancient South Gate ✅ Banyan Lake Rongxi Bridge 【Cruise】 There are day and night cruises available, with different routes to choose from according to your location and time. Day cruise departure times: 8:00 AM—12:00 PM, 1:00 PM—4:30 PM Price: 90 RMB/adult ticket; 45 RMB/child ticket Night cruise departure times: 17:50, 18:40, 19:30, 19:50, 20:00, 20:10, 20:15, 20:40, 21:10, 21:30 Reference price: 210 RMB/adult ticket, 105 RMB/child ticket.

The Sun and Moon Pagodas in the Fir Lake Scenic Area are recommended for night views. 2. The Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas can be climbed or not, as there is an admission fee of 35 RMB per person. It's also very hot to climb in the summer, and the experience is not that great, mainly because there isn't much of a special view after climbing the pagoda. 3. To capture the reflection of the Sun and Moon Pagodas, either go early in the morning or wait until the evening after the cruise boats have stopped, otherwise, there are always boats on the lake, and you can't capture the reflection at all. 4. We bought tickets at the attraction for 175 RMB per person. Children over 120m are charged as adults, and those under 120m are free of charge. I personally think the night scenery is also very beautiful. It's not bad to experience it in Guilin.

The scenery in the downtown area of Guilin is concentrated, making it very suitable for tourists to take a leisurely city walk. The night view is even more unique, displaying exquisiteness everywhere. Especially the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas, it's definitely worth setting aside time in the evening to appreciate. The Two Rivers and Four Lakes (Two Rivers: Li River, Peach Blossom River; Four Lakes: Banyan Lake, Fir Lake, Osmanthus Lake, Mulong Lake) are known as the 'Little Venice'. The Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas hold three world records: 🌈 The golden pagoda is the tallest copper pagoda in the world 🌈 It is the tallest pair of pagodas on water in the world 🌈 The tallest copper building in the world. The Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas are located in the middle of Fir Lake, and it only takes half an hour to walk around the lake. The docks on the east and south shores of the lake are the best spots for photography, and they are also the most crowded places. Remember to set aside time in the evening to capture the beautiful night scenery. The Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas are located next to the Lijiang Waterfall Hotel, diagonally opposite to the No. 3 entrance of Elephant Trunk Hill Park. The park is open for free. If you want to climb the pagodas, you can buy a ticket on site for 35 yuan, which allows you to climb both pagodas. The two pagodas are connected underwater, and there are elevators to the top. The lighting time is from 7 pm to 10 pm, don't miss it. ❗Here are some good spots for photography: 1. The boarding area at the Two Rivers and Four Lakes Night Cruise Pier, where you can capture the effect of the two pagodas overlapping in front and behind. The last boat departs at 9 pm, after which the pier is emptier and more convenient for photography. 2. The Zhiyin Platform Pier, where you can capture the two pagodas side by side, is more crowded, and you can take photos in ethnic costumes. ⚠️ Caution: There are night lights along the lakeshore, which can impair visibility, so be extra careful when going down to the shore at night.
