【Guilin 3 Days 2 Nights】Lie back in a landscape painting! Locals' secret paradise itinerary

💡Why you must go?

The "Best under Heaven" in textbooks is no lie! The Li River is a flowing emerald, Yangshuo is God's spilled palette, and every corner feels like stepping into an ink animation~

🚌 Transportation hacks

✔️ Direct flights to Liangjiang Airport, starting taxi fare to city attractions

✔️ Must rent an electric scooter in Yangshuo! Ride freely through the Ten-Mile Gallery (remember to bargain)

📸 Photo spots that will blow up your social feed

1️⃣ Li River bamboo raft (Yangdi to Xingping section)

20 RMB for the same scenery! Recommended to choose early morning/dusk rafts, when the mist lingers, it looks like a fairy tale drama

2️⃣ Xianggong Mountain sunrise

20-minute climb to conquer the summit, sea of clouds + Li River big bend in one frame, every phone shot is wallpaper-worthy

3️⃣ Yulong River trail

Rainbow road among rice fields! Navigate to "Shuangliu Yidu Pavilion," wearing light-colored dresses matches perfectly with the rapeseed flower fields

🍜 Guilin on the tip of your tongue

✔️ Must-eat: Guilin rice noodles (dry mix plus pot-cooked!), beer fish, Lipu taro with braised pork

✔️ Hidden menu: oil tea with rice crackers in alleys, a local breakfast staple

🏡 Accommodation tips

▪️ Next to West Street in Yangshuo: super convenient for bar hopping at night, but avoid street-facing rooms

▪️ Boutique homestays by the Li River: open your eyes to fishing lights, some have sky mirror photo spots

💡 High-energy activities

▫️ Wear Hanfu and ride a black-awning boat to shoot "Misty Rain on the Li River"

▫️ Explore the undeveloped Damei Mountain (guide required)

▫️ Watch the live show "Impression Liu Sanjie" at night

⚠️ Hard-earned advice

▪️ Don’t trust roadside "guides," official ticketing is more reliable

▪️ Best bamboo raft experience during high water season in May-June

▪️ Bring cash! Some bamboo rafts only accept cash

✨ The ultimate experience of "Boating on emerald waves, traveling inside a painting"

The guide is ready, just waiting for you to say let's go!
