⚠️Guilin Pitfall Guide
‼️Don't take the illegal taxis near the airport and stations.
‼️Don't trust various photo services in scenic areas, they charge money and are especially expensive.
‼️Don't easily trust the local women on the streets, they lack formal guarantees and are particularly deceitful.
💖It is recommended to plan a 4-5 day trip, as it's not easy to get out and about. Try to visit all the essential spots without rushing and take the time to relax properly.
The activities here are very diversified. There are foreign food, Chinese food, and not enough food. There are singing and playing and portraits. There are Guilin Tesoy sauce wine and silverware. In the evening, I will take pictures, eat a Guilin dinner, and then enter the nightlife. It is a more fulfilling choice during the journey.
During the Yangshuo visit many years ago, there was nothing to see except the bars and the crowds, but this time I came to Yangshuo West Street, but I found that there was a place called West Street next to Yangshuo West Street called Yitian West Street. Listening to locals, Yitian West Street is a new commercial center developed by the developer, which has the lively of Yangshuo West Street and some modern things, such as Starbucks and modern dining that everyone likes, there are all here. The details of the day at night are equally lively, but here it has a lot of lights to do a good integration, so that we can feel the beauty of West Street here, but also feel the flashing lights in West Street. However, there may be no way to compare with Yangshuo West Street, Yangshuo West Street may be open to two or three o'clock, and the stores in this are mostly chained, so after 10:00 will close and stop business.
Yangshuo tourism will inevitably go to Yangshuo Old Street, the famous West Street, there is a Yitian West Street complex near West Street, shopping and entertainment, snacks and dinners, everything, the scenery is not bad, it is worth a visit!
Living near Yangshuo, the Internet is suitable for visiting Yangshuo West Street at night, and these places are very close to the Shili Gallery Scenic Area. Yangshuo West Street has local snacks, specialties, photo studios where you can take special clothing photos, as well as music taverns, Starbucks and other brand restaurants. In short, although it is not big, it is OK to go shopping.
Now there are not many people after the epidemic, the goods are complete, and the leisure is all walks, which is great 👍🏻
