The air conditioner was good though. if you have 6 or more people, you can do a dinner cruise through 非常时髦西餐厅Dinner Cruise … So, as a solo traveler, I went to their statue restaurant instead and met owner Katherine (great fine dining! 13397739389.

Trip.com User: An amazing experience so close to guilin and a definite on anyones itinerary. Tickets, at the time of writing, are cheaper online, and here, than those at the ticket office. There are halfprice tickets to those that are smaller than 1.5m and who are chinese students (foreign students with chinese university ID as well) However there appeared to be a time attached to the ticket (none seen on the ticket or confirmation) so a wait may be required. Do not do the train up (¥35) as the walk takes ~15 minutes unless you require assistance. But such steps are found inside the cave as well. A decent camera is an added necessity for the low light shots

MaxS: In the Demon's Realm! I can say it is worth to visit! The cave is big, walking distance is long, every turn brings you surrealistic shapes, so let your imagination transform it into colourful dreams. The pictures can't reflect the feelings during this psychodelic journey. This is the best cave of this type in China I have seen.

Trip.com User: It's the best observation deck in Xiangshan. If you don't like climbing, you can go up the twisted road and see the place in the picture. I don't know the taxi drivers. I can't buy it anyway. You can take Uber. If you keep going up the narrow dirt road on the right side of the palace, you can get the photo zone. Don't stop to see 101 towers in the middle. It's like a sperm with a lot of people. It's hard for women to go up before sunset.

Depends on what time of the year you're going, but take a lot of water, sunscreen and snacks with. There's a lot of history to read about.

It took 3hours to complete the cruise but I think in peak times it takes up to 4hours. I would recommend packing your own snacks and drinks, the lunch on the boat is not worth the extra 30rmb.

I think the highlight for everyone on the trip is to see the scenery which are presented on the 20 yuan note.
