Late at night on September 30, we arrived in Guilin by plane and were warmly received by our guide. Guilin has a very special name for its good friends, called "dog meat", and our carload of twenty-five tourists of all sizes was called "dog meat". Guilin's Liangjiang International Airport is 26 kilometers away from downtown Guilin, and the terminal building looks like the character for mountain, with soft lines like flowing water, symbolizing the landscape of Guilin. Half an hour later we arrived at the Pacific Hotel where we stayed. After a night's rest and recuperation, on the morning of October 1, we began our tour of Guilin, and you will join me in touring Guilin!
On the first day we first went to Fubo Mountain, which is a mountain half on the ground and half in the water. The mountains in Guilin are very special, every mountain will have a cave, the Fu Bo Mountain has a still pearl cave, the temperature inside is about 25 degrees, and warm in winter and cool in summer, the roof of the cave there are drops of water droplets fall down. Listen to my mother said, the water dissolved calcium carbonate in the rock, when the environment changes, the calcium carbonate in the water will condense again, over the years will form stalactites, stalagmites and stone pillars and other landscapes. There is a hanging stone called Sword Test Stone at the exit of the Returning Pearl Cave. Legend has it that General Ma waved his sword and cut down a stone, which scared away the Jiaozhi (present-day Vietnam) people who invaded Guilin. I heard that if you touch the bottom of the stone you can take the exam, I squatted down and touched it with my hand and took a picture.
Next we came to Duxiu Peak. It is 63 meters above sea level, very majestic, is the second highest mountain in the city. Duxiu Peak is the leaning hill of King Jingjiang City. King Jingjiang is the nephew and grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he can really choose a place to claim such a beautiful mountain as his own. There is also a cave under Duxiu Peak, called Spirit Cave, which enshrines many taiyouis, and the door to the cave must be hurriedly closed when you enter and exit the cave, so as not to let the aura go out. My tai tao is Shi general, mom gave me "please" a bring on the body. Mom is really asking for trouble, when mom asked me to do something I do not want to do, I will hold up my tai tao and said loudly: "Who dares to move earth on the head of the tai tao? We also climbed Duxiu Peak, I was the first one to go up, and in a while I climbed up to the top, and from Duxiu Peak I saw the whole city of Guilin, and after a long time other people slowly climbed up, and I became the champion!
Next we went to the Seven Star Park and enjoyed the reflection of the Flower Bridge. The reflection in the bridge and the water of the Flower Bridge is a 360-degree circle no matter how deep or shallow the water is... strange, isn't it? I took a picture with two fish eagles on the raft and became a fisherman. Inside the Seven Stars Park there is also a very large square called Huaxia Square, surrounded by a mural more than 70 meters long and nearly 4 meters high, which records the 7,000 years of civilization history of Huaxia. This stone mural was built with the donation of Mr. Li Zhendao, a famous physicist. One of the famous attractions in the park is a double-humped camel mountain, which resembles a camel sitting on the ground with two humps, thus the name. I also walked across the lawn to the bottom of the camel's head and found a narrow, small, ultra-small, double-tiered waterfall. in 1998, U.S. President Bill Clinton gave an environmental speech at the bottom of Camel Hill, and the Guilinese later found a stone to carve on and put it in memory of Clinton's speech.
The day ended with a visit to Elephant Trunk Hill. Elephant Trunk Hill has a very large cave called Shuiyue Cave. There is also a legend about Elephant Trunk Hill: According to legend, when the Jade Emperor visited the earth, the elephant he was following got sick, so the Jade Emperor left it behind, and the people of Guilin cured the elephant, and the elephant didn't want to go back to heaven so it stayed behind to help the people of Guilin. Later, the Jade Emperor knew about the rage, sent Li Jing to kill the elephant, the two sides fought for seven days and seven nights still do not see the victory, in the eighth day of the elephant in the river to drink, Li Jing seized the opportunity to draw out the sword inserted in the elephant's back, the elephant died, transformed into a mountain, and forever stood by the Li River, with the sword still inserted in the back.
The next day we took a boat to Yangshuo to visit the famous Li River. People say that the landscape of Guilin is the best in the world, and Yangshuo can be called the best in Guilin. The Li River originates from the Cat Mountain, the first peak in South China, and is 160 kilometers long, finally merging into the Pearl River. We visited the 50 kilometers of the Li River, which is the best part of the river, known as the "Hundred Mile Picture Scroll". The Li River is surrounded by rolling hills, each forming a natural picture with the water. Among them, the Bamboo Shoots Mountain is extremely small, like a stalagmite growing out of the mountain; the Peach is known to be eaten by the Queen Mother in the sky, but it is also found on earth, only that it has been transformed into a stone lying on the mountain; the Nine Horses Painted Mountain is the most famous scroll, and I have heard that it is said to be the "Seven Horses in the Top Ranking, and Nine Horses in the Top Scholarship". Once Zhou Enlai and Chen Yi comrades to visit the Li River, Zhou Enlai saw out 9, Chen Yi only see 7, no wonder one is the premier, a vice premier. The scenery on the Li River and Huang Bu reflection, Xingping scenery, in your pocket, do not believe you take out the 20 yuan RMB.
After disembarking from the boat, we hurriedly visited the West Street and took a bus to the Silver Rock, and on the way, we passed by the Ten Mile Gallery, which is known as the land scenery of Yangshuo. I saw a "fat monkey" to climb back to the cave, two "dolphins" on the kiss, the most famous and most beautiful when the moon mountain, which has a big round through the cave, it has a small mountain in front of the cave, just to block part of the hole, due to look at a different angle, the shape of the cave is also different. Because of the different angles of view, the shape of the cave is also different, sometimes like a full moon, sometimes like a crescent moon, so the name of this mountain is "Moon Mountain".
After arriving at Ginko Rock, I was amazed at how many people were there and how many queues there were. After a while, I entered the cave, which was stuffy and hot, like a sauna. The best attraction in the cave is the silver diamonds, only to see a stalactite and stalagmites on the glittering, like silver hidden in the stone, so that the person's character of wealth fanaticism, as if all the money in front of the front, and immediately got rich, even I am no exception. It was the best of all the sites I saw and the most beautiful.
Nearly in the evening, we went to the "paradise", I heard that on the way to see the wild people, they call their friends "Bamai". From the pier, we walked along Swallow Lake and passed through a 150-meter long unlit cave called Swallow Cave, named after the thousands of swallows that make their home there every year. After passing through the Swallow Cave, we heard the sound of horns, and then a few savages with spears scared us. When we came under a stage made of bamboo, we shouted, "Ba Mai!" The lights came on, and the people on the stage began to dance the native dance and sing to see us off. After returning to the pier and disembarking, we walked through the Hmong cottage and drank a small cup of the Hmong girls' "cross-cottage" wine, a sweet and savory rice wine that they brewed themselves. After entering the village we watched the process of spinning cotton directly into thread. My mom even bought me an embroidery ball to play with on the way.
In the evening we didn't even have time to eat, we rushed to the Shan Shui Theater to watch a large-scale live performance - "Impression? Liu Sanjie". The Shanshui Theater, with the landscape of the Li River as its curtain, is probably the only outdoor theater in the world. The show was conceived and designed by the famous director Zhang Yimou, and the red silk part of the show was the most special, but I didn't know what they were expressing even after half a day's watching, but my mom was watching it with great interest.
On our last day, we went to the famous
