⚠️Guilin Pitfall Guide
‼️Don't take the illegal taxis near the airport and stations.
‼️Don't trust various photo services in scenic areas, they charge money and are especially expensive.
‼️Don't easily trust the local women on the streets, they lack formal guarantees and are particularly deceitful.
💖It is recommended to plan a 4-5 day trip, as it's not easy to get out and about. Try to visit all the essential spots without rushing and take the time to relax properly.
It is worth going, in the non-peak season, there are not many people, fun, beautiful scenery. Children like it very much. Adults and children like it, and children are unwilling to leave.
Very good and big park, there are mountains and waters, it is free, only the boat needs to spend money alone, there are many people taking pictures and punching in. If you want to visit the tower, you need to climb the mountain.
Not bad, small cold drink, come and experience. Guilin's landscape is really good, that is, there are too many people, many projects must be reserved in advance. Summer is too hot, basically playing in the water every day.
Free scenic spot! The scenery is so beautiful, it is worth a visit! Five-star praise five-star praise
Elephant Trunk Hill is one of the most iconic natural landscapes in Guilin, and its unique landforms and beautiful legends add endless charm to Guilin. The mountain is named for its shape as a giant elephant drinking water, not only a paradise for photographers, but also a must-visit landmark for tourists. Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the giant elephant of the sky, feeling the unique atmosphere of Guilin's landscape, as if you can travel through time and space, and appreciate the wonders given by nature with the ancients. Whether it is the first ray of sunlight on the elephant's nose in the morning or the magnificent sight of lighting under the night, it gives a profound visual impact and soul shock. In addition, the park where Elephant Trunk Hill is located is also beautifully laid out and tree-lined, which is a good place for walking and leisure. Visitors can walk here leisurely and enjoy the tranquility and harmony of Guilin's landscape. In short, Elephant Trunk Hill is not only the epitome of Guilin's natural beauty, but also an important symbol of the Chinese nation's landscape culture, which is worth every visitor's taste.
Good scenic spot, four or five hundred meters away from the Poyin Hotel I live in, very convenient, or free attractions, not big inside, but the scenery is quiet and pleasant, from Gate 3 to the best shooting point on the Elephant Trunk Mountain River is less than 1000 meters, the scenery along the way is also very beautiful, twists and turns, There are wooden rafts on the riverside to carry people into the river around Elephant Trunk Hill. It will be better to take pictures or see the scenery, but the price is 50 yuan per person, about ten minutes, close observation of Elephant Trunk Hill is still good, the scenic river boat boat for an hour, there is no such convenience and observation point. Of course, you can also take pictures on the shore without taking a boat, just look at your own requirements, in short, the park is worth a visit!
