The evening of August 1, arrived in Guilin, living pedestrian street of the city hotels. Although only 5-layer, but the inside looks quite new, should be renovated not too long. However, I would like to run the country like a Guilin hotel where it is not too expensive, especially when the peak season.
Guilin attractions Tingduo, such as the Elephant Trunk Hill, Seven Star Crags, chuanshan Park. But it feels like an ordinary city park, if you do not have the time, if the money does fit blankly. In Guilin, packet taxis back and forth between the various attractions in one day as long as forty to fifty yuan, as the driver to help buy attraction tickets and visits to shopping sites will also have oil-ticket rebate. Play from the urban areas to the two dozen tables are as long as the river airport more than 60 yuan, as bargain depends on the skill of each. Or can go to Shanghai Road (probably not you) and the Civil Aviation Building, bus ride to the airport, 20 yuan / person, half-hour intervals, about 40 minutes to the airport.
From Guilin to Yangshuo by car to train station or bus stop has a car, but the bus station are crossing vehicles, from Yangshuo to go through other places, such as Lipu County, fare that some 6.5 million vehicles, but more Some bad. Train station a number of relatively dense, are China and Brazil, 7.5 yuan. Guilin area generally open quite in slowly, because the half-way to pick-up, but a half-hour or so can be reached.
Of course, you can boat from Guilin to Yangshuo, but the season to be over the water, but also more expensive to buy a ticket terminals have at least 180 yuan, to more than 4 hours, reportedly a really good horse painting mountain landscapes, such as nine are in Yang a breakwater to Xingping, which is also a back and forth as long as three hours less. However, because of the monopoly of Tourism, allegedly a government does not go to a private boat, but where in Yangshuo agent still has this project, only to be told very early on the morning of departure to avoid inspection. In fact, I believe the words of many people to go to the Yang Di or xingping charter should also be possible, if so few people with the agent, boat 50, from Yangshuo to the Yang Di ride cars, 4.5 per each round trip. In the West's agent I am looking for is "Uncle Sam Tour", in West Central, 42, a small facade is not quite as general Agent, but like a part of the home. The proprietress is a local, very enthusiastic, but also put forward many good suggestions, also a very good price in negotiable.
West Street is indeed a place to train Petty Bourgeoisie, the whole street is a bar, restaurant, cafe, English schools and small shops, as if a small town in Western Europe in general, and the further you go the more lively at night. West had heard of foreigners more Sure enough, a great variety of people have, but many people also speak English well. Of course, or to the white majority, from the most seasoned small there, flies extremely casual.
Examination of the Red Star Express's PIZZA, taste really good, but if prices rise, and 20 yuan / six-inch, a person to eat a bit more, two people to eat too little. But it's so much good food in Yangshuo. Strongly recommended here clearing tonic (if Guilin have, but do not know how the price), 1.5 per one. Its main ingredient is watermelon and Bingtang Shui, together with red dates, white fungus, raisins, corn, pineapple, grass jelly, barley, etc. about 10 kinds of things (each of the ingredients are different) has brought about a hodgepodge, especially in the summer to eat sticks , cold Relieves summer heat and thirst-quenching. There are cold powder, transparent, and 0.5 yuan a. Other sugar, such as rice pudding, green bean soup, also very good, as well as turtle Ling cream. To eat these will result in West Street next to the small shop to eat. In the evening when the West will be the mouth of an alley there are many street stalls, selling rice noodles, snacks and other cool fill.
Live in a small hotel on the West Tingduo, but when the season (now that is), especially on weekends was often packed, so many and time is running out if the baggage, then best to notice booking. But up till after Tizhuoxingli go back and forth in the West almost two to find a suitable place to live. Generally speaking, more than 80 standard rooms should be, if not the West's remarks may be 60 yuan is enough. However, Yangshuo street lights rarely, if at night like the words of Po, or live in close proximity safer. I live in the sweet-scented osmanthus undecided Longquan Hotel, and the West separated by only a sweet-scented osmanthus Creek, is open until Liu Qiyue, air conditioning color TV water heaters are quite new, but if I wanted to rest at night will not be noisy bar on West Street that position is not bad. Tel :0773-829498. Boss said to be low to us, the price is 100 yuan standard room, but because it is newly opened, we talked about Liu Zhe, living very comfortable.
To Yangshuo, Yulong River can not but drift. This is a very quiet and no pollution of the river, not like the Lijiang River. Two individuals a bamboo raft, a raft with two people rowing. Outcry 120 yuan a row, I heard that this drift was only started in October 2001, but now has more than 200 rafts, there are 3,4 a boss, a day floating down more than 150 rows. Jinlong Bridge, also from the departure from the Yulong Qiao, the two places have a lot of bamboo raft competition getting bigger, and have heard previously been over 200 once. From the bus ride to the Yulong Qiao car, 3.5 million can get off in two places.
Yulong River water is very quiet, flow rate is also very slow, drifting all the way to go through more than 20 Bazi, if the water flow, then there are a lot of great Bazi can be washed in the past, very exciting. However, when I went to not be very large, so most of them can only be stuck in the Bazi move on to boatmen. Motor boats can not go here, there is no nearby roads, so the water is very clear, swimming class, better than the Lijiang River water, but when the sun is still not too carried away, or else the sun that can be bad too far. As I wanted to have fun in water, Ba Jiaoshen sun umbrellas, the results came back hurt for several days. But is indeed a worthwhile trip, Yulong River in the United States is to slowly get a better feel themselves, each person's feelings are not the same.
Yulong River end of a big banyan tree near the Mountains of the Moon and the Butterfly Spring, Takada ride to Yangshuo from a small bread or walking can be.
These are my travel experience I hope you have an enjoyable trip to Yangshuo.
