Shili Gallery is actually a road, there is a river next to the road, there are some flowers and plants between the river and the road, next to the river is the continuous karst landform, typical feng shui pastoral scenery. No tickets, the biggest feeling of walking in Shili Gallery is to get close to nature and relax. There are many attractions along the way in Shili Gallery, and you can’t finish it in a day. It is recommended to do a guide before going. Those who like to walk can walk in the past, so that they can have a better experience. If you are tired, you can rent an electric car for about 40 yuan a day.
There is an oversized butterfly 🦋 shaped stalactites. If you buy online, you need to go to the ticket office to exchange paper tickets for entering the park after 1 hour. There is a free tour guide at the door for a time period. There is also a performance of the Dai song. There is also a performance at the door at night. If you go to Shili Gallery, you can still go there.
Guilin landscape is the best in the world, Yangshuo landscape is the best in Guilin. Cycling around Shili Gallery, you can see the beautiful green mountains, large swathes of rape flower fields, and the green mountains are reflected, the air is fresh, the birds and flowers are fragrant, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Because I can't find the name of this new net red trail and net red rice field west of Yangshuo Shili Gallery, I temporarily borrowed the name of Shili Gallery. This net red rice field and trail are suitable for cycling and walking. After there is a bamboo raft pier, the karst peak forest is towering around, and the middle is an idyllic scenery, which is very suitable for people who love beauty to take pictures! Specifically, through the following places, Huoma Wharf, Chaoyang Pavilion, Shuangliu Yidu Pavilion, Murakami Spring Tree, etc....
不要进景区! 租一个电瓶车/徒步,在遇龙河旁边的小道和其他公路走就好了。景区性价比除了溶洞都超低,没有意思 (尤其是榕树景区可千万别去)。不考虑被景区坑的前提下,我给满分。景色美不胜收,趣味高,自由度高。
