A leisurely one-day oxygen trip in Guilin, not in a hurry

Guilin city is not big, the tourism infrastructure is mature, and the attractions are very convenient. The tourist circle centered on Elephant Trunk Hill🐘 covers the old attractions of Guilin, which can be reached by bus🚌 and walking🚶‍♀️. First stop: Elephant Trunk Hill (about 90 minutes) Elephant Trunk Hill Scenic Area, 🎫tickets are free, 🉑can be booked on Ctrip, scan ID card🪪 at the entrance, the park has 2 entrances and exits. Please note⚠️ there is a river channel after entering the park. If you want to climb the mountain, you need to walk along the river bank inside. If you want to take pictures of Elephant Trunk Hill🐘, you need to walk along the river channel outside, where you can take a panoramic view of people and mountains. Second stop: Sun and Moon Twin Towers (about 30 minutes) Sun and Moon Twin Towers, tickets🎫 35, Ctrip 28. But I think you can not buy tickets, in the Sun and Moon Twin Towers Cultural Park, you can take pictures of the shadowy twin towers during the day, and it's great to take pictures📷 under the tower at night, free. If you want to climb the tower, buy a ticket. 🍜Search for a well-reviewed rice noodle shop nearby for lunch, when in Rome, do as the Romans do～ Third stop: Jingjiang Prince's Mansion (about 90 minutes) Duxiu Peak Wangcheng Scenic Area, tickets🎫 100, is the most expensive attraction in the city. I didn't go in, it's the mansion of Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, built 34 years earlier than the Forbidden City, said to be the dragon vein and cultural vein of Guilin, 🉑see the whole Guilin city. We can't climb, and the Forbidden City is only 40, so we just checked in at the door. Fourth stop: East-West Alley (about 90 minutes) East-West Alley, is a commercial street, and Zhengyang Pedestrian Street is in a T-shape. So you can shop here until night, go to the pedestrian street, a bit like Chengdu's Kuanzhai Alley, antique architectural block, there are various small shops inside, and many places to take ethnic portraits. Fifth stop: Zhengyang Pedestrian Street (40 minutes for shopping, meals not included) Zhengyang Pedestrian Street, is a food street around the scenic area. There are many shops selling souvenirs, but many shops are not open before 4:00 pm. The restaurants are average, maybe I'm not used to it, but it's not expensive, search online are all tourist set meals. 🥗Have dinner and wait for the sunset～ Six stop: Night view of Sun and Moon Twin Towers Sun and Moon Twin Towers, look at the Sun and Moon Twin Towers at night, it's like visiting a small park, the opposite Li River is also a different quiet from the daytime. There are many fruit🥭 stalls on the roadside, if you like to experience, you can buy some, don't care about the price. Such a day will not be tired, and the tour is very comfortable, suitable for families with elderly and children👪 to travel. If you are fast, you can go back to the hotel for a nap.

Solitary Beauty Peak stands at the top

The Solitary Beauty Peak is located within the Jingjiang Prince City in the center of Guilin, now the Wangcheng campus of Guangxi Normal University. The peak rises abruptly, steep and lofty, with a majestic presence, and is known as the 'Pillar of the Southern Sky'. On the mountain, there are structures such as the Xuanwu Pavilion, Wenchang Pavilion, God of Wealth Temple, and Lingxiao Pavilion. Since the Xuanwu Pavilion was exclusively used for royal worship, the Solitary Beauty Peak also became a forbidden area for the royal family. In feudal times, ordinary civilians had no chance to set foot there. Climbing to the top is the best viewing platform for a bird's-eye view of the entire Guilin landscape. Xuanwu of the Xuanwu Pavilion is one of the four spiritual creatures in ancient Chinese mythology, also known as the turtle-snake, a spiritual being composed of a turtle and a snake. The Four Symbols in Chinese traditional culture refer to the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu, representing the four directions of east, west, south, and north respectively. Xuanwu of the north corresponds to the Kan trigram in the Bagua and is associated with water in the Five Elements, symbolizing the ultimate yin among the Four Symbols, the winter season, and also the northern land of heaven. The original meaning of Xuanwu is profound and dark, with 'xuan' meaning black and 'ming' meaning yin. During the Song and Yuan dynasties, Zhenwu was elevated from the Northern Palace Xuanwu to the esteemed position of Zhenwu the True Sovereign, and further to the throne of the Xuantian God, gaining increasing prominence. The legendary Xuanwu, known for its longevity and ability to communicate with the yin and yang, could freely travel through the netherworld, and was highly revered in Taoism. ⏳Visiting Time: Purchase a ticket to visit, the price is 100 yuan, and the visiting time is 2 to 3 hours.

Guilin Jingjiang Prince Mansion, Prince City|Under the Ming Dynasty stone wall, the central axis of Guilin's three dynasties

|Under the Ming Dynasty stone wall, the central axis of Guilin's three dynasties.🌟Riding an elephant to the south is a beautiful place, and Fubo River reflects thousands of peaks. 📸The old provincial capital Guilin is a unique ancient city in Guangxi. Its extremely long history of city construction makes it not only a landscape, but also a deep and heavy historical allusion. Although Guilin has lost its provincial capital status today, the developed and avant-garde publishing industry still retains the charm of this first batch of historical and cultural cities. 🌟To grasp the history of Guilin, it is inseparable from this ancient prince city that sits on the central axis of Guilin. Jingjiang Prince's Mansion is the heart of Guilin and even Guangxi since the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Although the high ticket price, the few remaining ancient buildings, the compulsory explanation and various inducements are annoying, this prince's mansion that is deeply integrated with Guangxi Normal University is still a necessary stop to grasp the roots of Guilin. 🌟The city wall of Jingjiang Prince's Mansion is the original Ming Dynasty stone wall, and the structure of the Ming Dynasty prince's mansion can also be basically appreciated, which is rare in the country. Walking around the city wall, the atmosphere of life and ancient charm is full. The plaque commemorating Chen Jichang, a Lingui man in the Qing Dynasty, on the South Gate Duanli Gate has great historical significance because he was the last triennial champion in Chinese history. 🌟Chengyun Hall is the Jingjiang Prince's history exhibition hall, which was once the location of the Guangxi Provincial Government, a Republic of China building, and there will be a prince's mansion secret rubbing session. Afterwards, there will be a short imperial examination during the visit to the Gongyuan, and the ceremony of worshiping Tai Sui in "Taiping Rock", all of which are inseparable from the commercial consumption routine, and there is no need to pay. 🌟Among them, Duxiu Peak, with its rich inscriptions and poems and its towering mountain body, has become a place worth stopping in the prince's mansion. Pay attention to the red inscription on the reading hole, which is the source of "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world". The "Purple Robe and Golden Belt" and "South Sky One Pillar" inscriptions are the largest and are the leaders of Guilin inscriptions. Yan Yanzhi's reading hole and the poem "Not as good as Duxiu, towering between the city", are the beginning of the humanistic spirit of this mountain. 🌟It takes about half an hour to climb Duxiu Peak, where you can overlook the scenery of Guilin in the middle position. Elephant Mountain, Wear Mountain, Diecai, Duxiu are scattered all over, and the Jingjiang King for hundreds of years should also rule here. 🌟The two thousand-year-old Guilin city still retains many stories besides the scenery, and has quietly changed the face of ancient China with the power of Lingnan. Landscape, inscriptions, publishing, Jingjiang King, Gui Army, many elements are condensed in the fresh and heavy air of this city. Before delving into the picturesque rivers and mountains, let your body and mind be quiet in this historical city, and taste the cultural experiment between the peaks and Lijiang River~~

Guilin Travel: To find the history of Jingjiang Wangcheng  Although I have been to Guilin many times, the mountains and rivers have a stronger impact on me. It is the first time I set food on Jingjiang Wangcheng. Jingjiang Wangcheng is also called Guilin Wangcheng. The scenic spot is composed of Duxiu Peak and Jingjiang Wangfu.  The history of Wangcheng is very long. Construction started in 1372 and completed in 1376. It is more than 630 years old, so it is more than 30 years older than the establishment of the famous Beijing Imperial Palace. Here, you can clearly trace the history of the past. It feels like a dialogue with the past, and a dialogue with time. Here, you can also completely jump out of the knowledge of the mountains and rivers of Guilin, and find the humanities and history belonging to Guilin.

Jingjiang Wangfu is located in the downtown area of Guilin. It was built in Hongwu five years and built in Hongwu in the 25th year of Hongwu. It is surrounded by the best preserved Ming Dynasty walls in China. Its main structure is not so lucky. After many damages and reconstructions, it used to be the seat of the Guangxi Provincial Government and is now the campus of Guangxi Normal University. It is said that the architecture of the old city of Guilin is relatively low, and it is not allowed to exceed the Du Xiufeng in the Wangfu. The status of the palace is evident. Tickets for Jingjiang Wangfu 120, you can buy a double ticket one hour in advance on the Internet, the total of 180 for two people, it is worth a lot of money. After entering the palace, you can watch a naked-eye 3D movie and have a preliminary understanding of the history of the palace. Then is the historical library, you can have a better understanding of the palace. Different from the simple history museum, the holographic projection technology is used here to make the explanation more vivid, which can be said to be very cool. In addition to understanding history, you can also learn about another country's intangible cultural heritage, the king's secret. Conventional rubbings are all black, and here they are red, using mineral materials that won't fade. Everyone here can feel the rubbings, but they can't take pictures inside. If you want to take them away, you need to pay the corresponding fees. Of course, it is good to not take your own feelings.

The Jingjiang Wangfu was the residence of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, to his grandson. It was built in 1372 and completed in 1393. It took 21 years and was built 34 years earlier than the Forbidden City in Beijing. It has a history of more than 600 years. Jingjiang Wangfu is located in the center of Guilin City, and the kingdom in front of it is the central axis of Guilin City. The first building to walk through the kingdom is the Carrier Hall, which is the main hall of the Jingjingjiang Wangfu, the place where Jingjiang Wang handles military affairs, and later became the office building of the Guangxi Provincial Government. Because there are too many people visiting, they are all in batches, and every 15 minutes. After entering, I first read a short multimedia video to understand the history of Jingjiang Wangfu, followed by the exhibition hall of Wangfus history. Since ancient times, Wangcheng Scenic Area has been regarded as the feng shui treasure land of Guilin, and it is the birthplace of the entire Guilin city. Here, two emperors and 14 generations of Jingjiang Wang were born.
