Guilin has always been an excellent tourist city in China. Guilin is famous for its mountains and waters, so you can’t miss such scenery when you come to Guilin. For those who come to Guilin for tourism, self-driving tours are the most suitable. Driving through the mountains and waters, you can see all the attractions of Guilin. Let’s take a look at some of the must-see attractions in Guilin.
Lijiang River
Lijiang River is known as one of the 15 most beautiful rivers in the world. As Guilin’s tourism business card, I believe everyone is already very familiar with it. To appreciate the beauty of Guilin, Lijiang River is the most unmissable attraction in Guilin tourism.
Longji Rice Terraces
Longji Rice Terraces have a history of about a thousand years. Since the Yuan Dynasty, the Zhuang and Yao ethnic minorities here have been building ridges and opening up fields for generations. From the valleys to the mountaintops, from the edge of the forest to the cliffs, wherever there is land to be cultivated, they have dug rice terraces. After more than a thousand years of hard work by generations, the Longji Rice Terraces have become more and more perfect. They wind their way from the foot of the mountain to the top, forming a magnificent landscape of small mountains like snails and big mountains like towers. They are a beautiful sight that you can’t miss during your trip to Guilin.
Jingjiang King’s City
In addition to its mountains and waters, Guilin is also a cultural city with a thousand-year history. As the best-preserved Ming Dynasty principality, it is known as “Seeing the King’s City and knowing Guilin.” The King’s City also contains the footprints of celebrities from different dynasties, making it a great place to learn about Guilin’s culture.
Yangshuo
It is said that “The mountains and waters of Guilin are the best in the world, and the mountains and waters of Yangshuo are the best in Guilin.” From this sentence, you can know that the mountains and waters of Yangshuo should be considered the essence of the mountains and waters of Guilin. In Yangshuo, you can take a bamboo raft to experience the tranquility of the Yulong River, go to West Street to feel the hustle and bustle of the “foreigner’s street”, and go to “Impression Liu Sanjie” to appreciate Zhang Yimou’s artistic works.
Yinzizhou Cave
Guilin is mainly dominated by karst landforms, so there are countless caves, large and small, in Guilin. If you come to Guilin and don’t see the caves, it’s like coming here in vain. Why recommend Yinzizhou Cave? Yinzizhou Cave, because the stalactites in the cave are like silver, like diamonds, resembling the Milky Way, hence the name. It is 2 kilometers long and consists of three parts: the lower cave, the hall, and the upper cave. It enjoys the reputation of “Fantastic Cave in the World.” Also, Yinzizhou Cave is only half an hour away from Yangshuo, which is very convenient.
