Traveling on a rainy day is indeed inconvenient, but there are definitely fewer people around. The hotel service was excellent and satisfactory. Its location was convenient for pickups and drop-offs. It was clean, quiet, and offered great value for money at this price. Very satisfied!
A taxi from Guilin West Station to the hotel cost 45 yuan. Waiting for a ride-hailing service takes too long, and you often can't even get a booking, which I assume is common at any high-speed rail station. To get to Elephant Trunk Hill, use Entrance 3. Don't waste time going to Entrance 1, as you'll only see the elephant's backside. The one-hour Four Rivers cruise for 80 yuan per person isn't really worth it, unless you have an excess of time and nothing else to do. I recommend visiting Liu Sanjie's Former Residence instead! The cable car offers beautiful views of the 'A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains' scenery.
