★ In the early Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, a merchant from Guangdong came to Guangxi to open a pawnshop named "Renyi Xiangya," which was later renamed "Yi'an Pawnshop." Due to proper management, "Yi'an Pawnshop" quickly became the most important pawnshop in the entire Yangshuo and Guilin area, and it has been preserved to this day, commonly known as Shazi Pawnshop. ★ Shazi Pawnshop is located in Shazi Village, Shazi Town, Pingle County, Guilin City, Guangxi, on the banks of the Chajiang River. The main building is a 7-story high-rise, featuring a spiral staircase and trapezoidal shelves inside. The total area covers 456 square meters (pawnshop area 390 square meters) and is connected to a building in Pukou. Due to its large scale, this pawnshop is known as "Guangxi's Number One Pawnshop." Its architectural structure reflects the typical style of Qing Dynasty pawnshops. Despite enduring over a century of wind, frost, rain, and snow, it remains as magnificent as ever. ★ In recent years, the Pingle County Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Sports, and Tourism has actively sought funding and increased efforts to repair cultural relics. Meanwhile, Shazi Pawnshop has been included as a site for cadre education and training. Through the establishment of a cultural history museum, it has received over 6,000 visitors. On January 13, 2025, it was listed as the eighth batch of autonomous region cultural relic protection units by the People's Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

Guilin! Tongle New District, Binjiang Road!! Who doesn't know about this hotel with river and river view rooms??? Our family of three went there last weekend, and it was truly stunning! The scenery at the confluence of the three rivers is unforgettable, and the hotel's architecture looks like a pyramid. Standing inside feels like being in Egypt, super cool! 💁 Service 🔸 The front desk lady was super enthusiastic, the check-in was very fast, and she thoughtfully introduced us to nearby attractions. 🔸 The hotel's parking lot is really big, it was full of cars, but there was still a spot for us. Friends driving here can come with peace of mind. 🔸 The coolest thing is the hotel's food delivery robot, which brought a lot of fun to my little one (my daughter). Every time ordering felt like a little adventure. 🏨 The room we stayed in We stayed in a river view room. Opening the window, you can see the beautiful river surface, and at night you can see the lights on the opposite shore, really super romantic. The room's interior decoration was very cozy, and the bedding was very comfortable. After a good night's sleep, we felt refreshed. Especially the hotel provided a children's bed and baby chair, which is really thoughtful for families with kids. This stay really made me feel like not wanting to leave. Every morning walking by the river, and every night watching movies with family in the room, this leisurely pace of life makes you want to stay a few more days. I hope to have the chance to come back here next time and experience a different slow life.

· Guilin's Highest Peak: Refers to Yaoshan, located in the eastern suburbs of Guilin, with an elevation of 909.3 meters. It is said, "If you don't reach the top of Yaoshan, you haven't seen Guilin's scenery." · Hot Springs: There are two well-known hot springs around Guilin: 1. Longsheng Hot Spring: Located in Longsheng Various Nationalities Autonomous County, known as "South China's Number One Spring," with water safe for direct drinking. 2. Xianjia Hot Spring: Located in Pingle County, Guilin, it is a national AAA-level tourist attraction with a serene environment. 📅 Five-Day Essential Itinerary Based on the attractions you listed, I have designed a 5-day itinerary that includes Yaoshan and the classic Longsheng Hot Spring. Day 1: Arrive in Guilin, Check in at the City Emblem · Morning/Afternoon: Arrive in Guilin and check into your hotel. · Evening: Visit Elephant Trunk Hill. As the emblem of Guilin, this is a must-visit spot. The park is now free to enter, but remember to book in advance via the official mini-program. It is recommended to visit at dusk to clearly see the hill’s shape and enjoy the "Elephant Hill Water Moon" night view. · Night: Recommended to walk or take a boat tour of the Two Rivers and Four Lakes to enjoy the dazzling city nightscape. Day 2: Li River Panorama and Yangshuo West Street · Morning: Drive to the pier and take a cruise along the classic section of the Li River (such as from Yangdi to Xingping). You will see iconic scenes like the background of the 20 RMB note and the reflection of Huangbu. · Afternoon: The cruise arrives in Yangshuo. Spend a relaxing afternoon strolling along West Street, and enjoy local delicacies like beer fish in the evening. Day 3: Yangshuo Countryside Scenery · Morning: Experience the Yulong River bamboo raft drifting (recommended section from Jinlong Bridge to Jiuxian). Unlike the grandeur of the Li River, this area is more peaceful and picturesque. · Afternoon: Rent an electric bike or bicycle in Yangshuo and leisurely ride through the Ten-Mile Gallery, enjoying the scenic views along the way. Day 4: Climb High for a Panoramic View and Hot Spring Relaxation · Morning: Return from Yangshuo to Guilin city and head to Yaoshan. Take the cable car up the mountain and enjoy a panoramic view of Guilin from the summit. · Afternoon: Go directly from Yaoshan to the Longsheng Hot Spring Resort Area, about a 2-hour drive. Stay overnight in the hot spring area to soak away the fatigue of continuous travel and enjoy "South China's Number One Spring" surrounded by forest. Day 5: Departure · Morning: Relax a bit more in the hot spring area or visit the nearby Longji Rice Terraces (if the season is right, the golden terraces in September-October are spectacular). Then, depending on your schedule, return from Longsheng or Guilin. 💡 Key Travel Tips To make your trip smoother, here are some important reminders: · Ticket Booking: Elephant Trunk Hill requires free online advance reservation. For Li River cruises and Yulong River bamboo rafts, be sure to book tickets early during holidays. · Transportation: The Li River cruise from Guilin city to Yangshuo is one-way, so pay attention to your luggage. Renting electric bikes in Yangshuo and nearby areas is very cost-effective. For Longsheng Hot Spring, it is recommended to charter a car or take a tourist shuttle bus. · Food Recommendations: Besides beer fish, be sure to try authentic Guilin rice noodles, as well as local specialties like Lipu taro with pork and stuffed field snails. · About "Wildman Valley": Currently, information is lacking. You can try asking local taxi drivers, hotel front desks, or reputable travel agencies in Guilin to see if it is a local nickname or a niche outdoor spot.

Xuantan Village is an ancient village with a history of hundreds of years. From the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China, Xuantan was an administrative village. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was an administrative township in Pingle County and was the political, economic, and cultural center of Qiaoting. Later, Xuantan gradually faded from the political and historical stage from an administrative township to an administrative village to a natural village. "Xuantan" was originally a fasting altar for Taoist gods, but it became a village name. At first glance at this name, it naturally reminds people that this was once a place where Taoism prevailed. However, over hundreds of years, this place has been full of books and talents. The "Xizi Furnace", ancient stage, numerous stone tablets and stone carvings, and lifelike rock paintings and reliefs create a strong Confucian cultural atmosphere. Walking into Xuantan Village, you can see a large village with hundreds of households built on the mountain, a small stream winding around the village, and endless rice fields in front of the village. Most of the village has been built into villa-style farmhouses. But some ancient houses with flying eaves and horse-head walls can still be seen everywhere. Especially the "Zhao Gong Temple" standing in the middle of the village, the ancient building is well preserved and very eye-catching. Behind Xuantan Village is a mountain about 80 meters high that looks like a lion, extending from the east of the village to the west of the village, hence the name Lion Mountain. The surface of Lion Mountain is a mountain, but the inside is a cave, and there are caves in the cave, which are connected to each other. There is a deep pool at the entrance of the cave, which is the oldest ancient well in Xuantan Village. The stream in the pool is warm in winter and cool in summer, sweet and refreshing, and never dries up all year round. The water source comes from the undercurrent in the Lion Mountain Cave.

Rongjin Ancient Town was built in the early Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is said that the first person to come here was a wandering monk from the late Tang Dynasty to the early Song Dynasty. The monk was fascinated by the green water and green mountains here, so he chose a mound shaped like a duck to build a shed and live here, and then he took in several monks who wandered here. In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the first temple, Longyi Temple, was built on the bank of Rongjin River. Due to the completion of the temple, there were many pilgrims, and some businessmen from eastern Guangdong began to settle and do business here. Rongjin Ancient Town is located 25 kilometers southeast of Pingle County, Guangxi. It is located at the confluence of two tributaries of the Lijiang River, Rongjin River and Shajiang River. You can reach Guilin by boat to the north, and Wuzhou and Guangzhou to the south and east. Therefore, this was also a bustling inland port in eastern Guangxi in ancient times. Rongjin Ancient Town is famous for its many banyan trees and Rongjin River along the street. The old street of Rongjin is full of nostalgic atmosphere. The houses are deep and long, with horse-head walls, green bricks and plain tiles, wooden buildings with flying eaves, and reliefs on the ridges and roofs, which look like flowers, plants, birds and animals. The ancient street of Rongjin Ancient Town has been well preserved for thousands of years. Its main street, Rongjin Street, is relatively intact. Most of the houses on the street are southern folk brick-wood structures. The Kui Xing Building, ancient stage, and Guangdong East Guild Hall basically maintain their original appearance. The green bricks and green tiles, and the flying eaves and flowing arches reflect the elegant and simple style of ancient Chinese southern town buildings. The ancient town is surrounded by ancient banyan trees, and there are many ponds. The ancient streets, ancient banyan trees, and pearl-like ponds complement each other, forming a unique scenery of the ancient market in Lingnan, and the ancient town is therefore known as "Rongjin".
