The Sun and Moon Pagodas in Guilin's Fir Lake are recommended for check-ins day and night

Fir Lake, located in the center of Guilin city in Guangxi, is named for the fir trees growing by the lake. It is an open pedestrian leisure park in the city of Guilin. Fir Lake is part of the Two Rivers and Four Lakes scenic area in Guilin, and the most famous are the Sun and Moon Pagodas towering on Fir Lake Island. The Sun and Moon Pagodas are situated in the beautiful Fir Lake in Guilin city; the Sun Pagoda is a copper pagoda located in the center of the lake, 41 meters high with 9 levels, and the Moon Pagoda is a glazed pagoda, 35 meters high with 7 levels. The Sun and Moon Pagodas are famous in China, serving as cultural landmarks of Guilin city, and are the most renowned tourist attractions in the Two Rivers and Four Lakes water system around the city; among them, the Sun Pagoda has won three world records. The Sun and Moon Pagodas are located on an island connected by a bridge, with an admission fee of 35 yuan per person, allowing visitors to climb the pagodas and enjoy the landscape of Guilin. You can also walk through the underwater tunnel and admire the silver carp, common carp, and spotted fish above and on both sides. During the day, the Sun and Moon Pagodas are unremarkable, but at night, they are brilliantly lit. Therefore, Fir Lake is the most popular park in Guilin at night. *The lighting of the Sun and Moon Pagodas lasts until 23:00, and the best photography spot is from the Zhiyin Stage Pier by the lake to the Waterfall Hotel area. It is generally believed that the angle where the Sun and Moon Pagodas lean together best captures the charm of the pagodas. *On a full moon night, you can also move to the viewing platform opposite the Waterfall Hotel across the lake to enjoy the scene of the Sun and Moon Pagodas and the full moon in the same frame. *The Fir Lake and Banyan Lake water system are connected by a bridge hole, and when a cruise ship passes through, it creates surging waves, making it another great photography spot. Compared to the night, Fir Lake is relatively leisurely during the day, with green trees by the lake providing shade, and it is also a nice place to walk around. The main entrance to Fir Lake (south bank) has the former residence of Li Zongren, where you can learn about the life of the leader of the Guangxi army. The former residence of Li Zongren cannot be reached from the lake; you must enter through the main gate on the side of the main road, with no admission fee or reservation required. The former residence of Li Zongren is one of the two best-preserved celebrity former residences in Guilin city, later known as Guilin's 'Presidential Palace,' featuring a combination of Chinese and Western villa-style architecture. Tips: 1. Fir Lake is not large; it takes about 30 minutes to walk around. 2. Fir Lake is very close to Elephant Trunk Hill Park; coming out of Gate 2 of Elephant Trunk Hill and walking 200 meters across the road will take you to the lakeside of Fir Lake, so you can combine day and night tours together.
