Things to do in Linwu

The Dishuiyuan Scenic Area is located in Linwu County, Chenzhou, at an altitude of 1,124 meters. It is the source of the Pearl River. It is about 4 kilometers away from Linwu County; the high-speed rail Chenzhou Station takes 1.5 hours to reach the scenic area. The planned area of ​​the scenic area is 30 square kilometers. It is a smart ecological tourism circle of "one mountain, one lake, one spring and one waterfall" in Chenzhou. The Dishuiyuan belongs to the karst canyon landform. There are huge rocks at the bottom of the valley. Several waterfalls are like white dragons dancing. The natural scenery of the entire scenic area is better than a fairyland, which makes people imagine endlessly and linger.

Yangtian Lake is truly worthwhile! The vast alpine meadows, blue skies and white clouds, and slowly turning windmills create a breathtaking panorama. There are plenty of fun activities; grass skiing down the slopes is incredibly relaxing, and the hillsides are dotted with adorable cartoon installations, making it feel like stepping into a fairytale world. Adults and children alike can have a great time, and every snapshot is a beautiful scene—a truly worthwhile trip.

While the caves may not be as large as those in Guizhou, Guangxi, and Hunan, the underground river tour is the biggest feature and the best experience here.

The park opens at 6 AM, and it only took about 20 minutes to get in, mainly because of the ticket check. Before you go, check the weather forecast; otherwise, there's not much to do. Without ice formations and frost, the scenery is just so-so. If you're bringing ice pops, be sure to bring crampons, as the paths are very slippery and it's easy to fall. The wind on the mountain is also very strong.

For families with children, it's definitely worth a visit! Visiting the entire park in one day would be very rushed and tiring, leaving your knees sore. For a better experience, I recommend two days and one night. The park has a wide variety of animals, and the cable car and miniature train are quite unique; children had a great time. The staff are very friendly, patiently answering questions and engaging in friendly interactions. If I had to complain, firstly, the food prices inside the park are relatively high (although the Chinese food was okay); secondly, the smell was too pungent when the miniature train passed the bird area (I wonder how this can be improved); and thirdly, the prices in the interactive areas are also quite expensive (for example, feeding the giraffes costs 36 yuan for a single branch!!!). Overall, I highly recommend it for families with children!

A Seven-Character Quatrain on Viewing Five Finger Peak A magnificent sight in Chenzhou, Five Finger Peak soars to the heavens. A towering cliff holds up the azure sky, a thousand layers of verdant ravines rise in layers of peaks. Dense forests hang upside down on the cliff edge, a light mist lingers around the majestic mountain peak. Many visitors rush to climb the stone plank road, but I alone stand quietly at the foot of the cliff.

Truly an international extravaganza. Acrobats, performers, animals were fantastic.diverse performers and interesting segments made the whole experience enjoyable. Splurge for the closer seats.

When visiting Guilin, a must-see is Elephant Trunk Hill, the city's iconic landmark. It truly lives up to its reputation as the face of Guilin's landscape; only by seeing it in person can one truly appreciate the wonders of nature. The entire mountain sits on the banks of the Li River, resembling a giant elephant bowing to drink from the water. The Water Moon Cave cuts through the mountain, its reflection shimmering in the water, creating the famous Elephant Trunk Hill and Water Moon spectacle—a flowing ink painting. The scenic area is clean and comfortable, with walking paths built along the Li River, shaded by lush trees, making for a delightful stroll. You can climb the mountain for panoramic views of Guilin, or find classic vantage points along the riverbank to capture stunning, atmospheric photos. Boat trips are also available, offering a different and breathtaking perspective of Elephant Trunk Hill from the river. The scenic area is conveniently located in the city center, with excellent transportation and comprehensive facilities. Every step reveals a new vista, allowing you to truly experience the unparalleled beauty of Guilin's landscape. Don't miss it when traveling to Guilin; it's definitely worth a visit.

It’s not well developed, and it’s empty. But it’s cool. . . .

Booked the tickets online through Trip.com which made entry reasonably easy.... although Canton Tower has a strange entry process that the needs reviewing. Once you finally get up there the views and the Pod trip are excellent. Highly recommended.
