The sun and moon pagoda in the middle of this lake are so beautiful. Definitely worth seeing them during the day and then again at night to see all of the lights. It just so happened that the moon was directly above them when I was there too !

The old name of Peach Blossom River is Yang River, which is a major tributary of the Li River. Wooden Dragon Lake is the only man-made lake among the four inner lakes, named after the nearby Wooden Dragon Cave. Fir Lake boasts the landmark Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas of Guilin, with the official residence of Li Zongren on its south bank.

The twin towers on Mulong Lake are like two dazzling pearls, which are particularly dazzling under the light. The tower body is reflected in the water, and it forms a beautiful picture with the surrounding scenery. Along the way, I also saw many bridges and buildings, which were also decorated as highlights in the night. Some bridges are full of colored lights, like rainbows across the water; some buildings show Guilin's history and culture in the form of projections and light shows. The advantage of taking a cruise ship is that you can enjoy the beauty of the twin towers up close. I stood at the bow of the ship, facing the breeze, admiring the magnificent view of the twin towers. The tower body is colorful, and it forms a beautiful picture with the surrounding scenery, which makes people linger. This winter tour of Guilin made me deeply feel the charm of the city's night.

The sun and moon pagoda in the middle of this lake are so beautiful. Definitely worth seeing them during the day and then again at night to see all of the lights. It just so happened that the moon was directly above them when I was there too !
After six years, the second night tour of the two rivers and four lakes, the overall feeling is not improved, for the re-visiting, the price is not high, the first time there is obviously the impulse to hope to re-visit, but this time there is no more...
There are some performances on the river, and the boat will rise and fall, and the fun is relatively strong. But the staff on the boat kept saying that the small photos don’t cost money. I sent them to everyone. I went to take them. I only knew that I had to spend 35 yuan to buy a big photo. I sent a small photo. The photos were printed out. I only bought it. I found that Guilin is like this in many places. The staff only emphasized that the small photos are sent at the beginning, and they are bound to the big photos without mentioning that the small photos are bound, and finally they will let you spend money to buy the big photos.
The night tour is worth experiencing. The scenery is very beautiful. At this time, it is best to have a mobile phone that is good at taking night scenes. The little brother on the boat has been selling photos. I took a look. I really didn’t support him. The scenic spots are like this. It’s worth it for the sake of the scenery!
The first time I came to Guilin, I felt very good. The two rivers and four lakes are worth visiting.
Not bad, there is no mandatory shopping, just try not to come at noon, super hot 🥵
