On our last night in Guilin, we took the Two Rivers & Four Lakes night cruise. The lights, reflections, and evening breeze made the city feel wonderfully gentle, giving our trip a perfect finale. A heartfelt thank you to Dylan from Trip.com for his prompt replies,

Jingjiang Prince City perfectly blends Guilin's natural beauty with its rich cultural heritage, allowing every visitor to appreciate the stunning scenery while deeply experiencing the profoundness of Chinese culture. Here, nature and humanity harmonize, history and modernity coexist—a place not to be missed. What surprised me most was the Imperial Examination Hall, the site of the ancient imperial examinations. Standing inside, I could almost see the scholars diligently writing their essays. It's especially suitable for taking photos in Hanfu (traditional Han clothing), creating a truly immersive atmosphere.

Visiting the Longji Rice Terraces in early November, it was drizzling. The rice was ripe, and the layers of golden rice fields, set against the backdrop of the misty rain, had a poetic beauty that made one marvel at the diligence and resilience of our Chinese ancestors.

The weather wasn't great. It was overcast and a bit chilly. However, the scenery was still very beautiful. The boat sailed smoothly; we departed at 9:30 am and arrived in Yangshuo a little after 2 pm. We saw all the beautiful scenery of the Li River along the way. It was very convenient. There was tea and snacks on board, as well as commentary throughout the journey. Friendly Tips: 1. It's convenient to bring your own food. The food on the boat is expensive and the taste is average. 2. For families of three or two people, it's suitable to take a rideshare to the pier. The price is about the same. 3. It's best to book tickets in advance and reserve them in advance.

Yangsu's Yulong River rafting is highly recommended. The bamboo raft drifts downstream, the river gently flowing, and the lush green mountains and waters on both sides create a picturesque scene. The more thrilling part is the dam-striking experience, where the water splashes against your face, a thrilling experience without any danger, and the raftsman's witty remarks are truly captivating.

The park is quite large. If you have enough time, it is recommended that you come early in the afternoon to play the park's entertainment projects first. There are two in the Devil City😂, with food and entertainment. It is recommended to watch the performance around 16:30 and then enjoy the night view of the park. If it is a holiday, the entertainment projects may not end until 23:00 in the evening😂, so you can feel that the ticket price is very worthwhile🤩

As the pioneer of live-action performances, it's definitely worth seeing. The scale is there, it's Zhang Yimou's style. However, it's been almost 20 years, and the equipment and conditions from that time are now outdated. Hopefully, the hardware will be upgraded, and the show can be re-created and updated.

九龙江畔有大厝

Silver Cave is a massive karst cave filled with stalactites and stalagmites formed over millions of years by calcium carbonate deposition. Its grand scale and spectacular appearance are truly breathtaking. Nature's artistry, combined with various lighting effects, creates bizarre and fantastical formations, resembling mythical creatures from legends. Some are incredibly lifelike, while others require a bit of imagination—the more you think about it, the more real it becomes. It's definitely worth a visit. A full tour of the cave takes about an hour. The cave is uneven, dimly lit, and slippery, so extra care should be taken with elderly people and children. Free audio guides are available at the scenic area. Parking is readily available at the entrance.

The scenery is beautiful and perfect for photos! Although there's a cable car, you still have to climb the mountain yourself after that. It might not be suitable for people with mobility issues, the elderly, or those who don't enjoy hiking. Like the Ruyi Bridge at Yifeng Peak, it's said that walking across it brings good fortune!

The cave is nice, and the scenery outside the scenic area is also beautiful. You can directly locate the "Ludiyan Ticket Center" when taking a taxi, get off opposite the security booth, and climb up the steps. You don't need to take the train. Buy the ticket one hour in advance and scan the code to enter. You can finish the tour in less than an hour. There is a lake outside with beautiful scenery. You can stroll around.
