Getting there: Fast train or an airplane directly to the airport. Guilin is a picturesque city in Guangxi, China. From many of the hotel rooftops and balconies you can get really stunning views of the karst mountains and architecture. The two pagodas area is really nice to fly a drone. Or you can see the view from the park or the nearby hotel Lijiang Waterfall Hotel. #guilin

Located just south of the city centre, this nondescript scenic spot is an oasis in an otherwise busy city. Surrounded by urban development, the lake, trees and bridges offer a nice contrast, especially in the evening, where you may even see bats flying overhead! Walking around the lake, there are various different angles to take photos and videos of the two star-attractions here, the twin pagodas sitting on the edge of the lake. They sit majestically in the water and their reflections tricking you into thinking there's 4! Get here just by walking from the hotel or also by bus or taxi. Parking space is limited, so be aware! There are various places to buy snacks and souvenirs here also. A great place to visit! #2023travelwish #mytripvlog #tripblazers

Getting There - easy to access by foot or taxi if far away Attractions - Sun and moon pagodas, lake, elephant hill and more Hotels - atour or a fair few others in area Food & Restaurants - Indian restaurant close by Shopping - shopping mall and book store just a stones throw from the lake either day time or night time visiting the sun and moon pagodas is a different experience so I recommend doing both, watch the sun set and then watch them be lit up with lights. watch bats fly around over the lake and take a stroll, definitely not a sight to miss! #2023travelwish #mytripvlog #tripblazers

Sun and Moon pagodas are a must visit attraction in Guilin. The tourist side is splendid, full of traditional architecture, culture and art. The sun Pagoda is the world’s highest bronze. Strongly recommended to visit the spot at night when all the scenery has the lights on. . . . #passionpassport #guilin #pagoda #night #video #culturalattractions #scenicspotguide #china

Guilin is magical at night. The lights dance on surface of the water in different colors. The smells and noises create an ambience of noisy city life and romantic calm. Take a walk along the river or ride a bike. You can even pay a local to ride you around in a tuk-tuk. There are many food and drink options along the river. Take a cab from your hotel or type in “sun and moon pagoda” into Maps and take a late night stroll. The streets are busy with runners and dog-walkers and ladies doing dance routines to beautiful Chinese music. This is a great place for friends, couples, and families. It is also very easy to do it solo. There are plenty of quaint little boutique hotels along the Li river. #guilin #solotravel #travelchina #guangxi

Guilin - These Pagodas are located in the center of Guilin. You need to pay 35¥ to visit them. You can climb them and will find a nice view from the top. There is an underwater tunnel pass between both pagodas. The Sun pagoda, the taller, has an elevator 😃 so you don't need to use the stairs up and down. This is an excellent place for pictures. I went on a weekday at about 5:30 pm, and there were few people. Next to the pagodas and lake, there is a hotel. On the sixth floor, there is a Coffee place or restaurant called Yi Cafe. From there, you have a lovely view of the pagodas on one side and the Elephant Trunk Hill park. The restaurant served western food. It is worth the visit! #guilin

The Sun and Moon pagoda and Moon hill can be visited in one day. The twin pagodas were not originally built in this place but in 2001 they were reconstructed in Guilin. This pagodas must be seen during the day and night. it is totally worthy to visit this place as the sun pagoda is the tallest bronce pagoda in the world!. The moon hill is a rare gift from nature, you can literally see a whole just passing below the summit of the mountain (hence the name). This hiking can be done slowly in less than 2 hours. #travellater #sunandmoonpagoda #guilin #china #moonhill

After coming back from Guilin, my most profound realization is that the distances between scenic spots are quite far, and transportation is inconvenient. You have to take taxis back and forth, which is really inconvenient! (Emphasize this point❗️) Without some planning, you will still feel a bit lost😭, so spontaneous trips are not suitable for Guilin!! - ✅Accommodation Guide Urban area: Near Guilin Station or city center, convenient transportation, easy to find food, close to urban scenic spots, convenient for city walks Yangshuo: If you like the lively West Street area, you can stay there; if you prefer quiet, you can choose a homestay near Yulong River - ✅Attraction Details ✨NO.1 Elephant Trunk Hill: It is recommended to enter from Gate 1 and exit from Gate 3 to have a complete view of the hill without retracing your steps ✨NO.2 Sun and Moon Pagodas: The daytime scenery is ordinary, it is recommended to go at night to capture the beautiful reflection in the lake ✨NO.3 Reed Flute Cave: Online tickets are mandatory to be used 1 hour after purchase, don't wait until you're at the entrance to buy tickets online ✨NO.4 Li River: You can drive to Xingping to take a cruise, but it's inconvenient to retrieve your car afterwards ✨NO.5 Xingping Ancient Town: Don't trust people in the ancient town who say touching the turtle is free; you might end up losing hundreds of yuan ✨NO.6 Yulong River ✨NO.7 Longji Rice Terraces ✨NO.8 Jingjiang Prince's Mansion ✨NO.10 Xianggong Mountain: You need to set off at three or four o'clock for the breathtaking scenery ✨NO.11 Ruyi Peak: Don't lose your paper ticket, as you need it to enter and exit the scenic area ✨NO.12 Gudong Waterfall: Climbing the waterfall will definitely get your clothes wet, remember to bring a change of clothes for convenience - Join a tour group or travel independently Guilin's attractions are quite scattered, with many mountains⛰️, and transportation is not very convenient. Independent travel requires complicated planning and risk of mishaps, while joining a tour group gives you freedom of time, peace of mind, especially with the recent drop in temperature, shivering🥶, just get on the bus to start, get off to take photos📸, focusing on comfort is enough, and it's also cost-effective.
