With the Winter Solstice approaching and the temperature dropping sharply, what else is more suitable for winter than a hot spring? Finding a hot spring in the mountains is one of the best pleasures in winter. The steam from the hot spring permeates the air, melting the cold of winter, making people feel as if they are in the embrace of nature. Lying in the hot spring, feeling the warm water flowing around your body, the cold winter day becomes warm. The natural hot spring water from 2500 meters underground is rich in trace elements, which can give our body a good therapeutic effect while bathing, like a soothing for our body and mind, allowing us to relax and relieve stress. Bathing in the hot spring pool on the hillside can bring us closer to nature. You can appreciate the magnificent mountain scenery, listen to the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and feel the tranquility and harmony of nature. Getting up from the warm pool, you can also enjoy the 'stone bath', 'sauna room', feel a different warm experience, or simply take a rest in the 'leisure area', don't think about anything, just empty yourself. Let's welcome this winter together, go to the mountains for a bath! Get close to nature and purify and nourish our souls. This winter, let bathing become our beautiful memory of blending with nature. Other recommended activities Earth landscape: North Guilin pastoral scenery, Little Nara in Guilin, interact with sika deer, Wendy's garden

A private trip during the National Day holiday with fewer people, beautiful scenery, off-the-beaten-path destinations + popular spots avoiding crowds, Guilin Quanzhou + Yangshuo, sharing a five-day four-night itinerary with everyone～ Day 1️⃣ Depart from Changsha, self-drive to Guilin Quanzhou, about 380 kilometers and 4.5 hours in total. Considering rest and electric car charging, we chose to rest and explore in Hengyang. 📍Nanyueli is an ancient-style street area at the foot of Mount Hengshan, with rich folk performances during the National Day holiday. Hengyang marinated rice noodles are also very delicious. Stay at 📍Quanzhou Tianlongwan Puyue Hotel, a luxury hotel 🏨 Only 200+ RMB during the National Day period, completely exceeding expectations! Day 2️⃣ Quanzhou Tianhu + Biyu Pond Drive about 1.5 hours to 📍Tianhu Reservoir. Although the mountain road is a bit rugged, it is a two-lane road and easy to drive. The altitude rises along the way, and the scenery is absolutely stunning. Tianhu started charging an entrance fee from September 1 this year 🎫, 36 RMB per person, very cost-effective and also well controls the crowd. You can drive all the way in, from the lakeside to the high mountain pasture to wind turbine No. 31. Be sure to check the weather. The cool breeze 🍃, clear lake water 💧, and free cattle and sheep 🐮. If not camping, 2-3 hours of visit is enough. On the way down, visit another National Geographic recommended off-the-beaten-path destination, 📍Biyu Pond, about 1 hour drive. The high water season has passed in October, so not recommended now. The mountain road is difficult to drive, narrow and hard for cars to pass each other. It’s still worth visiting in summer when the water volume is abundant. Back in the county town, experience Guangxi’s unique tea bran hair wash. We randomly found a community shop online, hair wash + massage for about 45 minutes only 29.9 RMB, very comfortable 😌. Dinner was at a small firewood stove restaurant recommended by the hair wash auntie. When in Quanzhou, you must try the beef steak 🥩. Day 3️⃣ Longjing Village + Lingui Zhuangyuan Bridge + Xianggong Mountain Drive 50 minutes to 📍Longjing Village. There is a parking lot 🅿️ at the entrance, 10 RMB per vehicle with no time limit. Free entry to the village, no ticket required. Walk along the wooden plank road, water plants swaying, and the blue pond water is mesmerizing. Walk all the way to Juxian Cave where you can row a boat, unlimited time 20 RMB per person (usually 10 RMB). The natural air conditioning is very comfortable. Ducks swim in the water, village aunties wash clothes and vegetables by the river, full of life atmosphere; old lady sells sugar oil balls 2 RMB per skewer, round cakes 1 RMB each, prices are very affordable. Highly recommended 💯 Next stop 📍Lingui Tianxin Zhuangyuan Bridge, parking is also 10 RMB per vehicle, no ticket required. This season is the golden harvest time for rice. Sitting in the rice field watching the harvester work is a unique enjoyment. Walk across Zhuangyuan Bridge and Hanlin Bridge. Xianggong Mountain is a classic spot to watch the sunrise 🌄. There are too many people at sunrise, so watching the sunset to avoid crowds is also a good choice. 📍Xiao Liao Ecological Farmhouse Restaurant has the same view as Xianggong Mountain, no entrance fee, enjoy dinner while watching the sunset, a private beautiful scene. 📍Huayexing Travel (Xiatang Wharf Branch), 50 square meter large room, panoramic bathtub 🛁, 100 meters walk to Xiatang Wharf, 300 meters walk to Xinglong Wharf, highly recommended. 500+ RMB during National Day (about 300 RMB normally), very cost-effective.

📌About 2.5 hours' drive from downtown Guilin to Tianhu Lake 🌇As you drive along the road to Tianhu Lake, you'll see straight fir trees on both sides, lush and stretching into the distance. Snap a photo and post it online saying you're in Altay—no one would doubt it! 👒🏊🧺🌲🦋 From the entrance of Tianhu Lake to the mountaintop is about 8-9 km. Without a car, it's not very convenient to explore, as the scenic area is vast and mountainous. Driving is recommended. 🚘🚙🚕🚖 Due to road construction, Tianhu Lake currently has few visitors, making for an excellent experience. 🥾 Drive slowly up the mountain road, find a good spot to stop and enjoy the view or take photos—every section offers different mountain scenery. 🌳 Tianhu Lake itself is a reservoir at an altitude of 1,600 meters, with daytime temperatures around 20°C and nighttime temperatures about 19°C. 🎿🛷⛄️ The 13 reservoirs 🚣‍♂ resemble bright mirrors, dotted among the towering mountains, interconnected and complementing each other, showcasing Tianhu Lake's gentle beauty. 🏕️ This season, Tianhu Lake is a sea of green 🌻, with open vistas, endless fir trees, and clear streams 🏖️ 🌂, plus lush grass covering the mountains—the scent of nature 🌿 is incredibly healing~ 👀 Tips: ✅ The road from Quanzhou Caibei is rough; it's better to take the Ziyuan direction. ✅ The temperature varies greatly between day and night, so bring a light jacket for the evening. ✅ There are small mosquitoes at night! Don’t forget insect repellent. 📌 Accommodation: ✅ You can camp at Tianhu Lake 🏕️ or stay at the Chaping Hotel near the entrance. ✅ According to Lele Jie, due to road construction, the hotel may not be open daily. If you plan to stay, call ahead to confirm. ☕ Dining: ✅ There’s hardly any food inside Tianhu Lake—it’s better suited for camping, but open-flame barbecues are not allowed. ✅ You can also eat at Chaping Hotel. ✅ Near the entrance, there’s a farmhouse restaurant serving home-style dishes. We had a local chicken for 180 yuan, perfect for four or five people.

Biyu Lake, Quanzhou: A Travel Guide I. Destination Overview Biyu Lake, located in the valley of Taojiawan, Quanzhou County, Guilin, consists of seven emerald-colored pools connected in series. It's a local favorite for summer water activities, yet remains largely unknown to tourists. The crystal-clear, jelly-green water and the unbelievably blue hues reminiscent of the ocean make it a perfect summer escape. II. Transportation and Directions Getting to Quanzhou is very convenient, with a drive of approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes. From Quanzhou, it's another 34.2 km to Biyu Lake, taking about 1 hour and 28 minutes. An SUV is recommended as the last leg of the journey requires some hiking. Set your navigation to "Taojiawan, Quanzhou" to reach the parking lot, and the main pool is a 5-minute walk from there. III. Recommended Route and Must-See Spots 1. A small path to the left of the abandoned water station leads to the mountaintop, but the terrain is challenging and requires at least a 40-minute hike. 2. Must-see spots at Biyu Lake include: the Three-Tiered Waterfall (next to the main pool, perfect for low-angle shots from the rocks), the Milky Stone Beach (sparkling like diamonds under the sunlight), and the Wild Suspension Bridge (a wooden bridge amidst a bamboo forest, creating a magical atmosphere). 3. It's recommended to wear a light-colored long dress and waterproof sandals for easy water activities and photo opportunities. IV. Activities and Features There are numerous waterfalls of varying sizes here, which I personally find more impressive than those at Cat Mountain and Longtang River in Guilin. There's even a natural infinity pool with crystal-clear water, a paradise for diving enthusiasts. It's also a great spot for fishing, especially for Wuchang fish, raised in rice paddies and known for their tender meat. V. Local Cuisine Quanzhou's specialties include vinegar blood duck, Wuchang fish, and red oil rice noodles. The vinegar blood duck is a must-try, with its tender and juicy meat. Wuchang fish, raised in rice paddies, offers a delicate flavor. The red oil rice noodles are popular for their smooth texture and rich aroma. VI. Money-Saving Tips and Accommodation 1. For road trips, consider carpooling with four people and splitting the gas cost, which is about CNY 80 per person. 2. Bring your own snacks and fruits, as there are only small convenience stores nearby. 3. Opt for non-trendy guesthouses for accommodation, with prices around CNY 100. 4. There are free shallows downstream for water play. VII. Suggested Itinerary Day 1: Depart from Quanzhou County, visit Tianhu Reservoir (alpine meadow), and stay overnight at a guesthouse in Quanzhou. Day 2: Spend the day enjoying water activities at Biyu Lake, visit the ancient dwellings of nearby Longjing Village to experience the rustic charm of the countryside, and return in the evening. Biyu Lake in Quanzhou is a hidden gem nestled in a valley, perfect for swimming, fishing, and photography. I hope this guide helps you make the most of your visit to Biyu Lake. Have a wonderful trip in Quanzhou!

Guilin's winter is warm with sunshine Although the temperature on the mountain is very low and there are many dead trees, it does not affect the beauty of Tianhu Lake. The naked eye is more filtered than the photo The beauty of each season should be very different! Worth visiting a few more times!

Quanzhou Tianhu Lake is so beautiful that it leaves you speechless. Even without snow, the sunny weather has its own charm. The scenery is different in every season, and it is worthy of being called the Altay of Guilin. I look forward to visiting again when there is rime.

Dabitou in Quanzhou is a beautiful resort, perfect for a Guilin trip! Admire flowers, soak in hot springs, and see sika deer. Let's relax and vacation at the "grassland" - Guilin Dabitou International Tourism Resort, a 4A scenic area! Guangxi's "Nara" and Guilin's "Altay" - it's all here! 🍚: The resort has its own restaurant. The food is good. There are also one or two restaurants near the hotel. The food is good, but there aren't many options. You can't order takeout at night, and the food is generally expensive. ♨️: If you stay at the hotel, you can soak in the hot spring as many times as you want. Just show your room card. During holidays and weekends, when there are more people, more than 100 pools will be open (according to the staff). We went on a weekday, so there weren't as many pools, but there were enough. The staff were very enthusiastic and had a great service attitude. 👍 Dadi Scenic Area: There are sika deer 🦌, two horses, sheep 🐑, cows 🐮, and a children's play area. The sika deer come out at 10:00 am and 3:00 pm. They don't come out at other times.

Finally made it to this place I saw last year! It's really beautiful! The weather was sunny when we came, and the photos we took were amazing 📸 We stopped and took photos wherever we saw something beautiful! The whole journey was amazing! It's worth the trip! I suggest arriving at around 1 pm for the best lighting 🌞

I checked the pictures of wind turbines online. Wind turbine No. 31 is the best place to watch the sunrise. If you follow the easiest road, you will find Wind turbine No. 31 near Tianhu Ski Resort. You can park your car below. The road that is not a main road is not so easy to drive on, and you can also see many small cars and trams rushing up. The sunrise was at 6:30, and I could see the starry sky when I left the hotel at 5:30. It had been a long time since I had seen a sky full of stars. It was really beautiful, and I couldn't help but exclaim "stars, stars!" It was around 5:55 when we arrived at Wind Generator No. 31, and the sky was gradually getting white. Friends who were going up the mountain were advised to prepare gloves, masks, and hats. The whistling wind did make people feel a little dizzy. Wind Generator No. 31 allowed you to take pictures of the sunrise with the reeds and the wind generator, which was unique. You could also see a lot of people at the previous camping spot. Tianhu Lake is very beautiful. It’s nice to see the reservoir and even better to see the sunrise. Let’s go now!
