You have to visit Guilin at least once, a treasure spot to check in with one click
Dear friends, the beauty of Guilin is beyond words! On this trip to Guilin, I was deeply shocked by the saying "Guilin's landscape is the best under heaven." Let me share some hidden gem attractions with you👇
🌄 Yao Mountain Scenic Area, Guilin
📍 No. 6 Jingjiang Road, Qixing District
💰 Cable car ticket: 99 RMB per adult, half price for local children and students
The highest peak in Guilin, with the main peak at 909.3 meters above sea level. The saying "If you don't reach the top of Yao Mountain, you haven't seen Guilin" is truly accurate. The cable car ride up offers picturesque views, and from the summit, you can overlook the entire Guilin landscape—majestic seas of peaks and waves of mountains! Each season offers a different, romantic scenery.
🎨 Jingchu Yulan
📍 No. 4 Binjiang Road, Yangshuo County
Perfect for photography! The cultural and creative area offers unique souvenirs. When tired, head to the basement café for afternoon tea sets with great value, featuring both Chinese and Western cuisine, while enjoying the river view. The building uses Morandi color tones, making every photo look like it has a high-end filter, very picturesque, guaranteed to blow up your social media📸.
🕳️ Julong Pool
📍 Inside the Ten-Mile Gallery Scenic Area, Yangshuo County
The only cave in Yangshuo that offers both water and land tours—amazing! Outside the cave, strange peaks look like dragons soaring through clouds; inside, stalactites resemble dragons playing in water. The cave is nearly a thousand meters long, with a quarter of it accessible by boat, letting you experience the mystery of the underground river. The cave’s rich scenery is stunning under the lights, perfect for photos~
🏞️ Yangshuo Cultural Relics and Landscape Park
📍 East foot of Bilian Peak, Yangshuo County
💰 Adults 22 RMB, students, children, and seniors 11 RMB
This park has a history of over 1,400 years. It combines beautiful landscapes and cultural relics, known as the "garden within a garden." The most famous feature is the giant cursive script "Dai" character stone carving by Wang Yuanren, the Qing Dynasty magistrate of Yangshuo. The carving is 5.72 meters high and 2.91 meters wide, with huge characters and bold strokes, ranking first among stone carvings in Guangxi. The brushwork flows like floating clouds and agile snakes, hailed as the pinnacle of stone carving art in Guilin and Yangshuo.
🌳 Peach Blossom Land
📍 Peach Blossom Land Scenic Area, Guiyang Highway, Baisha Town, Yangshuo County
It feels like stepping into a peach blossom paradise, especially with the "water and land dual tour" setup. You can take a boat on Swallow Lake to see the misty peach blossom forest or hike through the Dong ethnic village, enjoying 360° views of both nature and culture. The intangible cultural heritage experience is included in the ticket, with activities like rubbing prints and traditional papermaking—both adults and kids will love it. You can also soak in the atmosphere of Dong folk songs. The Wind and Rain Bridge and Embroidery Ball Square are picturesque just by name! Imagine wearing an ethnic-style dress standing on the bridge, with green mountains and clear waters behind you—every snap is wallpaper-worthy✨
Friends, Guilin is totally worth it, each attraction full of unique features, hurry up and go💕
