51 period, the self-help went to the coveted Guilin. Indeed well-deserved reputation, despite the general landscape of Guilin, Yangshuo, but beauty is really hard to forget, in which not many talk about it. Now we look back a few days before the trip, the experiences of some lessons for your reference.
1. Lessons
Or start with the lessons of this tour it:
(1) careful private boat
Before doing homework, reading other people's travels, knowing when you can not take an official tour of the Lijiang River ferries, private boat along the river should be sitting down, can really taste Lijiang River Landscape (Background: Guilin, the provisions of the Government's indigenous policies, visit the Lijiang River ship entirely by a government-designated monopoly, fare exceedingly high, usually around 240 yuan / person, "51" "11," and also rose, while other companies or individuals could not set sail carrying tourists visit Lijiang River, so-called Private boat is actually a number of private fishermen boats carrying tourists Strictly speaking, illegal in). This remark is indeed true, the official ship faster above Trinidad and Tobago people simply enjoy the landscape can not be arbitrary. However, in the warning that the private boat ride is very risky, we must be careful because there are less than the private shipping destination half-way on the back, and then should you pay full costs, otherwise, letting go you go.
We personally met this sort of thing: My mother had a private boat package was that good or 180 yuan from the xingping to Surf package from Stone (xingping to the Yang Di is the essence of part of the Lijiang River are generally travel there.) , boatman showed us maps. Originally, we had also requested access to Yang Di, Yang Di water boatman said that the police can not go, we also had to give up the idea; on board, he asked us first Jiaoqian, we refused, later proved to be a wise move ah. Later, when the ship opened to the nine horse painting mountains when the boatmen say that the Marine Police came, and then immediately turned around and left. At that time, and we are proceeding with another four ships, all with the U-turn back to xingping pier, and the entire sailing a total of only 40 minutes. As we had seen the maps, know exactly xingping to a maximum of nine horses painted mountain range is xingping to Surf half stone, he proposed only to less than half the price of her surprise, boatman did not agree, but also vociferous to say that we would like to bilk, sitting in his boat did not give money. We had pointed out that only half of the voyage, to allow him to map out an evaluation with everyone. Boatman said that he would then map to someone else, and then continue Sapo, but also say "Do not you say no to (Long stone)? I say what went to the" like a rogue, then, there are many ugly words. While the local farmers that some people in crowd, I think they all understand who is right, but no one would help the foreigners. Finally, seeing more and more local people, "public enemy I am widowed," afraid to lose my mother finally gave the boatman that 140 yuan trouble. Regret that time did not bring their own maps, but also glad that there is no pre-Jiao Qian.
Of us get this matter is very killjoys, the whole Yangshuo tour where the worst impression. On the one hand the local boatmen by the government of the oppressed, way out was suppressed, only surreptitiously ran very poor; the other hand, they rely on such a dupe foreign visitors to make money, it is never a way out since; is sad, unfortunately, was angry at indisputable ah.
For tourists, it now appears the best option is to travel on foot Lijiang River (from the Yang Di to xingping about 4,5 hours or so), half-way you can sit down bamboo raft (usually also the section of 5-10 pieces / raft , Golden Week, about 20 yuan or so), to experience the feeling of drifting water; If you want to boat, insurance, sat the official ship; if the private boat ride, we must insist upon pay, and take a good map and be psychologically prepared, if a the dispute did not lodge a complaint as convenient as private boat ride has always been illegal in ah.
(2) Do not talk to tour groups
This time we originally self-tour, but in the time to visit Yin Ziyan, people told us that Pakistan can not directly go there, you must take a good long a length off the road and wanted to get lazy and go join a local travel agency organizing groups to Yinzi Yan. Results for good 8:30 start, but wait until 9:30 before departure, because the money had been paying, so that only travel agents such as some tourists can be pulled further away there is nothing free. After the determination to learn, determined not to go with the tour.
2. Experience
(1) Yulong River Rafting
Take bamboo raft drifting tour in Yangshuo Yulong River is the most out of one color, on-line, there are many User mentioned. In fact, tourists sit on bamboo raft drifting in front of a dedicated planning work to go sit in a bamboo raft behind the boat slowly, it is safe; Of course, we also see some tourists identify themselves, but the technology on the. . . However, the special features of our trip from the bridge began to drift Fuli, rather than starting from the Yulong Qiao drift, while the self-Fuli Bridge to Yulong Qiao scenery along the journey of this paragraph is very beautiful and very quiet, only the birds hoot, really seductive and raising heart ah.
In fact, many people began to drift from the Yulong Qiao, because the designated rafts, where the designated waiting for the general public, but in fact if you ask them to put rafts into Fuli Bridge, and then began to drift from Fuli Bridge is also possible , and the simple zoned industrial does not require more money (in fact, since the Fuli Bridge to Yulong Qiao also draw one and a half to two hours all).
If we just take from the rich rafts Dangling inside the bridge to float to the workers and peasants Bridge, thoroughly floated throughout Yulong River, a total spent in the rafts more than six hours, feeling not so good ah, but there are several intermediate sub-rafts downhill, good stimulation. Recommendations have time to sit bamboo rafts drift throughout Yulong River, which is the feeling of short-term drift can not be compared, of course, if the time constraint can only forget.
Prices, since we are 51 to go, the price hikes, and we drift whole is 300 yuan / bamboo raft, and from the downstream drift of small half are 150 yuan. However, according to our request for a local small-guide said that usually 150 ~ 200 yuan can be full of drifting. Heard that the local government's income tax planning workers is high, and is generally a bamboo raft 2 is zoned industrial, so they draw a day bamboo raft, finally, there is little money in hand. Fortunately, the Government can not Yulong River on the sail, or may have been monopolized rafts away, alas.
In addition, according to our current situation, where the bridge began to drift from the rich and from the Yulong Qiao is the same as the price began to drift, so if you want to start drifting from Fuli Bridge, then to be told in advance to rafts parked in designated public Fuli Bridge, where the (otherwise they are generally in the Yulong River and other passengers), I have a raft of planning our work sat phone (surnamed Chu, telephone number is :0773-8774447), their technology is good, people are very honest. In addition, you can, and we invite contact a local tour guide, a little girl, (Yong-Li Zhang, mobile: 13,877,372,814), people are very solid and also to those planning and local workers, fishermen are familiar with, could be introduced and honest planning workers, is also helping to Kanjia ; we gave her 20 yuan a day, she was also embarrassed when it money. 【Statement: I do not help them advertise, this is indeed the case, for your reference only. 】
(2) accommodation, we have an old married couple living in a retirement home to open a hotel (a four-story, two rooms on each floor), the boss called Zhuge Ji, his wife, I call on the aunt, are locals, a young man Work in Chongqing, and now live together with a small grandchildren. When we go there to live a day per room 100 yuan (according to them, usually half price), the 51 Golden Week is very cheap, and a great room, the room also good hygiene, bed sheets blankets are brand new tags Yes, but the room has no bathroom, but the floor two rooms share one, but still acceptable. They say the original repair of the new house to help their children back home when you live in, and later tourists staying there, they only began to open the family hotel, nor is it purely to make money for the purpose of their own home availability on the one hand, on the one hand charges also cheap, especially youth-friendly tourists. My feeling is that they are very real, but also disloyal, but also a very good speech, good living environment, to the West about 10 minutes walk, it is worthy of recommendation. By the way, their home telephone number is :0773-8812768, you have to Yangshuo they will pick you.
(Three) food in
Everyone recommended home Pijiu Yu Xie Sister really delicious, but do taste better than other companies. I think you want to eat or eat to thank Sister home, her family stand in your fish than any other point (about 5 yuan per catty expensive), but in view of its high price tag Pijiu Yu (good bit of fish, such as hair-like bones of fish are all 45 or so a pound, but fish are usually about 2 pounds), not as good as eating good food. Of course, personal opinions only.
Also, I now come ashore in the Yulong River rafting on the way to eat peasant food Lianlianbuwang, rock fish (said to be sewn inside the stone Lijiang long), and farm fresh chicken particular, but the price is not Fei, pound rock fish, 45 per pound of chicken 25 yuan, but one would like to go home so there would be no food, and only on the wound and the. . . Recommended for taste.
By the way, a very fragrant Lipu-taro head they can not taste, but it seems do not have to eat.
(4) ride in
Living in Yangshuo, then ride the bus station in Yangshuo, China and Pakistan to various tourist attractions is very convenient to the bus station to tell the local people or the place you are going to sell tickets, a question to know, do not worry.
