It tastes good and most importantly, it's cheap. It was introduced by a local. Attached is a price list. The rice noodles in Guilin are counted by liang. I added 5 yuan worth of meat, a fried dough stick, and 2 liang of rice noodles, which was enough.

This is a famous Guilin rice noodle shop on Lequn Road in Guilin. The traditional braised rice noodles, braised meat and pot roast are very delicious, and the brine is very fragrant. It is a small shop on the street that has been built step by step by its own reputation, but this kind of small shop is often more delicious and authentic than big hotels or Internet celebrity shops.

📅 Itinerary Day 1: Take the Guiyang high-speed train to Guilin. Check into a hotel near the Two Rivers and Four Lakes, making it convenient for visiting scenic spots. After dropping off my luggage and enjoying a bowl of Guilin rice noodles, I walked to Zhengyang Road Pedestrian Street. I saw the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas during the day, with Elephant Trunk Hill nearby. I entered through Gate 3 and exited through Gate 2. Even in the off-season, Elephant Trunk Hill was packed with people taking photos (Guilin Yangshuo has strong UV rays, so wear sunscreen). The Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas at night were truly stunning, and a photo opportunity was a must. Zhengyang Road is especially lively at night, with many people, plenty of food, and street music. Beer fish is everywhere. I recommend buying group buys online; we tried one, but it was terrible and expensive. Further down Zhengyang Road is East-West Lane, and further inside, you'll see the Jingjiang Palace. It's closed at night and requires an entrance fee during the day. We only visited to take photos and leave. The hotel is close to the scenic area. We walked and ate until after 9 PM, and the streets were still bustling. We slowly walked back to the hotel. We highly recommend the hotel we stayed at. The front desk was very friendly and shared travel tips. The lobby also had hot and cold drinks and tea. It was close to the scenic area and the staff were very helpful. Day 2: In the morning, we had Tianyuan Rice Noodles, a popular restaurant recommended by the hotel. It was packed with people and was indeed cheap and delicious. Our next stop was Yangshuo. We skipped the cruise and chose the high-speed rail from Guilin Station to Yangshuo. The cruise is expensive and takes over four hours, while the high-speed rail takes just over 40 minutes to reach Yangshuo Station. After getting off the high-speed rail station, you can choose to go directly to Yangshuo or to Xingping Ancient Town (20 yuan for a background photo shoot), 5 yuan per person. We went to Xingping first. The station has luggage storage and electric scooter rentals, but the prices vary. We compared prices a few times. We rented the scooters and rode around, checking in and taking photos. At the end, we paid 5 yuan each for a boat to the other side. We also had to take a sightseeing bus to Xianggong Mountain, but we decided not to visit the ancient town. Ancient towns across the country are similar. We picked up our luggage and caught the bus to Yangshuo. Personally, if you're not obsessed with the 20 yuan check-in, you can skip Xingping; Yangshuo's scenery is more than enough. We booked a hotel on Ctrip not far from Yangshuo West Street. The best thing about traveling during the off-season is that the hotel is cheap and close to the attractions. Beer fish, rice noodles, and snail noodles are everywhere. We briefly strolled around West Street, but it was crowded at night, with lots of people singing. Going to Xingping was too tiring, so we walked back to the hotel at 8 pm. Day 3: We had rice noodles again in the morning and rented electric scooters from the hotel for 30 yuan a day. The hotel provided a cycling route, which we took for a leisurely ride and check-in. We first went to Gongnong Bridge, parked, and paid 15 yuan. They took us to Shuei'erdi Pier, where we bought bamboo raft tickets on site. Buying tickets in advance is essential during peak season. Two people share a raft for 200 yuan. If you're short on rafts, you can combine them. Plan ahead. Each raft must weigh no more than 160 kilograms. They weigh you before boarding. We didn't take a cruise, but it was nice to experience the scenery on the bamboo raft. There were four dam crossings along the way, which was fun and beautiful. The entire journey took about 30 minutes. The cycling route was really convenient: Jima Pier - One Foot Rice Field Cafe - Mr. Zhang's Tree House - Haruki Murakami - Eternal Love - Moon Mountain... There were many check-in spots along the way, and you could also just follow the group. We followed them, cycling everywhere, looking around, and taking photos. Eating out is really expensive, so it depends on your luck. We went there in mid-September, and it was still very hot and sunny. We retired to the hotel in the afternoon and then went shopping and eating on West Street again that evening. The weather here is unpredictable, sometimes rainy, sometimes sunny. It's always a good idea to bring an umbrella to protect you from the sun and rain. It suddenly started raining that evening, so we hurried back to the hotel, but the rain stopped on the way. 🏨 Accommodation Recommendations: 1. In Guilin, we stayed at the Lijiang Letu Hotel. The customer service was super friendly. 2. In Yangshuo, we stayed at the Tree House Hotel Yangshuo Yitian West Street. We stayed there for two nights. The room was very spacious and the environment was great. When choosing a room, avoid rooms along the street. The beer fish restaurant across the street has a loud sound system that blares even past 10 PM. Both hotels are close to attractions and the rooms are decent. 🍴 Food Recommendation: Tianyuan Rice Noodles Don't try new things too easily. The osmanthus tofu pudding is not my cup of tea, and the beer fish may not be from the right restaurant. 📌 Practical Tips: Always bring your ID, sunscreen, an umbrella, and a power bank. Look for group buys online; it's always better than getting ripped off. Stay near West Street in Yangshuo. Stroll around the bustling West Street in the evenings. Rent an electric scooter in the mornings and ride around. It's too hot in the afternoons, so I recommend staying at the hotel. It's really hot. Be sure to book your tickets in advance during peak season. Bamboo rafting is also popular during off-season, so I won't mention peak season.

After finishing the noodles, enjoy a bowl of bone broth. • Learn the "ordering jargon": Try saying "eliang mifen" (two taels of rice noodles) in Guilin dialect; it might make you sound more like a Guilin native. • Pay attention to prices: Locals often enjoy affordable rice noodles, with two taels of braised vegetable noodles generally around 5 yuan. If you see a menu item over 15 yuan, be wary. • Master the hours: Many long-standing restaurants beloved by locals close around 2:00 PM, so it's recommended to visit during breakfast or lunch. • Pairing recommendations: Enjoy your noodles with a complimentary cup of soy milk or porridge, like the locals do, for a refreshing and satisfying meal. • Serving Size: The "liang" on the menu refers to the weight of the dry noodles. Two liang is sufficient for most people, while larger eaters can order three liang. • Want to buy packaged rice noodles to make a repeat at home? You can try contacting a familiar rice noodle shop owner to arrange for the braising liquid and braised meat, then mix your own rice noodles and toppings at home. • Using an electric scooter to navigate the city and visit various rice noodle shops is a convenient way to get around. I hope this guide helps you enjoy your Guilin rice noodle experience! Enjoy your meal and bring back delicious memories!
