West Street Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Yangshuo Guide: Understand everything in one article and have fun in the essence of Guilin
Transportation🚗:
It is recommended to take the high-speed train directly to Yangshuo, and note that the highlights of Guilin are mostly concentrated in Yangshuo. During the peak season, purchase round-trip tickets at least one week in advance to avoid competing with the 'special forces' of college students. For short-distance travel in between, if you can't get a taxi, you need to bargain with motorcycle taxis and private cars to avoid being overcharged.
Accommodation🏠:
It is recommended to stay in a riverside hotel on West Street by the Li River, where opening the curtains allows you to be greeted by mountains, with the Li River also within close reach, immersing oneself in nature. If you need to take night scene photos, staying in Xingping is even better.
Routes/Check-in Spots💞:
After exiting Yangshuo high-speed train station, turn left to the bus station and take a 5 yuan bus to Xingping Ancient Town; search for Wangwang Food Fish Restaurant on Baidu, and go down the steps opposite to experience the Li River landscape that appears on the 20 yuan note during the day. Those who come to Guilin for the first time will definitely be shocked, as if they are in the beautiful scenery from textbooks.
After viewing the daytime scenery of the 20 yuan note background, search for Xingping Wharf on Baidu, take a ferry to the opposite wharf, casually find a private motorcycle or sightseeing car, and travel about 10 kilometers up the mountain to reach Xianggong Mountain Scenic Area (entrance ticket 60 yuan). It takes about 15-20 minutes to climb to the viewing platform to appreciate the essence of the Li River and the big bend
❗❗❗This place is a must-visit
Return to Xingping from the wharf, go back to the 20 yuan check-in spot (Wangwang Food Fish Restaurant), and take photos of the Li River landscape around 6:20 pm, spending 20 yuan to take a photo with an old man on a bamboo raft, which is very wonderful! If you stay in Xingping, you can come back to take photos of the Li River night scene after 8 pm; if you stay on West Street, you need to get to Xingping bus station before 7 pm and take a 15 yuan bus to Yangshuo County.
The next day, starting from West Street, you can rent an electric bike to ride through the Ten-Mile Gallery. Here are two recommended check-in spots—the big bridge at the Comprehensive Wharf and the dam near Jimah Wharf (navigate to Shuangliu Yiduting). If you can get up early (before 8 am), you can also go queue up to take a bamboo raft
Just came back from Guilin and really want to speak some truth

7 Things You Must Know Before Going to Guilin, Knowing These is Enough Before Visiting the Best Landscape in the World!
Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, what are the things you must know when visiting Guilin. I, who have been to Guilin N times, want to share with you a few things you must know before traveling to Guilin.
-
1️⃣When traveling to Guilin, the general destinations are concentrated in two areas, one is in Guilin city, and the other is Yangshuo. It is recommended to spend 1-2 days in the city and 1-2 days in Yangshuo.
2️⃣The main attractions in Guilin city are Elephant Trunk Hill, Wangcheng, Dongxi Lane, Two Rivers and Four Lakes, and Zhengyang Road Pedestrian Street. These places are all close to each other, so it is most convenient to stay nearby.
3️⃣You must book in advance for the night tour of Two Rivers and Four Lakes, otherwise you may not be able to buy boat tickets on the day.
4️⃣Chongshan's Guilin rice noodles are delicious. You should eat them dry first and then add soup. This is the authentic way to eat them.
5️⃣You can choose train, car, charter, or cruise ship from Guilin to Yangshuo. If time permits, it is recommended to choose a cruise ship. It takes 3-4h to reach Yangshuo, and you can see the Guilin landscape along the way, such as the background of the 20 yuan RMB.
6️⃣You can also take a bamboo raft to tour the Guilin landscape in Yangshuo. In winter, if you choose to take a bamboo raft, you may get wet and cold, so consider carefully. You don't need to arrange too much time for the bamboo raft, just experience it for a while.
7️⃣The bustling area of Yangshuo is West Street, you can stay nearby. Beer fish is a local specialty, and you can also experience the Guangxi performance of Impression Liu Sanjie.

Strolling in the painting
'The reflection of the peaks makes the mountains float on the water, without water and mountains, it's not captivating.' This truly depicts Guilin thoroughly. People embedded in this landscape will see many naturally formed scenes. During the day, there are green mountains and clear waves, at dusk, it's golden and purple, and at night, there are layers of shadows. The creation of ink painting between mountains and rivers is probably conveying this.
When boating, when looking at the river, what will people think of? They will think of 'Only the breeze on the river, and the bright moon between the mountains, the ears hear it and it becomes sound, the eyes meet it and it becomes color. There is no prohibition to take it, and it is inexhaustible to use it. This is the inexhaustible treasure of the creator, and it is what I and you are comfortable with.'

📝【Tips】：
①：There are many touts in Yangshuo, if you have your own route planning, you need to be firm in refusing.
②：When sitting on a bamboo raft, it is best to tie a lanyard to your phone and camera, and it is more secure to put on a waterproof bag if necessary.
③：If you don't wear a raincoat on a bamboo raft, you will basically get wet. If the weather is good, you can dry it by basking in the sun and blowing the wind. If the weather is not good, it is recommended to bring spare pants.
④：It is recommended to wear slippers or shoe covers (waterproof) on the bamboo raft, and try to bring as few things as possible on the bamboo raft.
⑤：If you want to take pictures on the bamboo raft, remind the master to paddle slowly and pay attention to safety. The bamboo raft masters have the habit of receiving tips. It is recommended not to give them at the beginning. You can give some at the end depending on the situation, generally 20 yuan-50 yuan.

♥️After arriving in Yangshuo
‼️Day 1️⃣:
14:00➡️Moonlight Image Museum
Take a group of travel photos with the landscape, the makeup artist and photographer are very patient. It is recommended to set aside a whole afternoon, you need to make up and style, go to the shooting location, the bamboo raft requires a fee of 10r.
18:00➡️Fire Bull Beer Fish
Right next to the Moonlight Image Museum, you can start eating after changing clothes! Duck feet pot and beer fish are good, passion fruit ribs are really worth a try for those from other places!! The sour and sweet taste is great! The ingredients are good, the environment is great, close to West Street.
21:00➡️Moon Villa Resort Hotel
Each unit has a hot spring, the hotel will pick up from West Street to the hotel, there are late-night desserts after arriving at the hotel, let the aunt clean and disinfect the pool and put water at this time, you can soak in the hot spring and relax after eating dessert and washing. I stayed for two nights at once!
‼️Day 2️⃣:
Sleep until you wake up naturally or enjoy breakfast, go to the hotel public area to daze or take pictures.
12:00➡️Listening to Li's Waterfront Restaurant
The scenery is really great! The outdoor area is like being on the Li River, a visual feast, recommend their cheese baked fries, suggest letting the chef bake for a longer time, the crust will be more crispy!! You can also have afternoon tea after lunch!
18:00➡️Walk along the river to West Street, eat and shop. Go back to the hotel when you are tired.
Day 3️⃣
After breakfast, rest for a while, pack up your luggage and start your return journey. If you have enough time, it is recommended to go cycling in the Ten Mile Gallery.
Guilin Travel~ Who says you can't come to Guilin Yangshuo in winter, without stepping on a mine!
I came to Guilin at the end of January, originally thinking that there was nothing to play in the off-season in winter, but I was not disappointed. But try not to choose to come on rainy days, there will be no experience. It's very comfortable to ride an electric bike around the Ten-Mile Gallery when the weather is good! The scenery of Yulong River is very beautiful! The opening hours are from 8:00 to 17:00. Don't believe the scalpers on the side of the road when you take a bamboo raft, it's a huge pit! The price will be raised very high. Buying on the spot at the water dock is 160 per raft, and only 2 people can sit. Get up early to book the ticket in advance, the bamboo raft ticket is limited. The strawberries planted on the side of the road are not big but very sweet? The night market on Yangshuo West Street is also very lively, with many special snacks in Guilin, a 20 yuan RMB check-in place. It only costs 20 to take a bamboo raft to take pictures in Xingping Ancient Town. The main transportation tool in Guilin Yangshuo is still a small electric bike, which can be rented everywhere on the side of the road for 30-50 a day! Because they are all mountain roads, some places can't be reached by taxi. It won't be very cold when you come in January and February, you can bring a fleece jacket to wear at night. The temperature difference between day and night is large, and it is not cold at all to wear a thicker sweater during the day!
Guilin must-eat food: ·Guilin rice noodles·Snail powder·Beer fish·Bamboo rice·Bamboo chicken. Screw chicken
