In Guilin, we stumbled into a real-life "Peach Blossom Spring"

🎈During summer vacation, popular attractions are usually crowded, which naturally lowers the experience. This trip to Guilin, we focused on lesser-known secret spots and were so captivated by the world-renowned scenery that we didn’t want to go home. Here’s a private list to share with sisters planning to visit Guilin!

⛰️Yaoshan Mountain offers different beautiful views in every season. "If you don’t reach the top of Yaoshan, you haven’t seen Guilin" is the perfect spot to overlook the entire Guilin panorama! If you worry about the kids getting tired, you can take the cable car up the mountain and enjoy the poetic misty rain scenery, truly like walking through a giant ink painting. At the summit, a 360° unobstructed view of Guilin unfolds before your eyes;

🏜️Peach Blossom Spring, the closest real-life "Peach Blossom Spring" to the city, features ancient bridges and flowing water, interwoven rice fields, lotus ponds, Swallow Lake, ancient Dong ethnic wooden buildings, and passionate song and dance performances. The ethnic atmosphere is rich and interactive, and you can also experience intangible cultural heritage projects, as if you’ve really stepped into Tao Yuanming’s poetry;

🏞️Yangshuo Landscape Park has a history of over 1,400 years. To the west is Bilian Peak, starting from Yangshuo Wharf in the north to Yangshuo Ferry in the south. The tree-lined trail winds along, overlooking the Li River like a jade belt on one side while searching for ancient poets’ calligraphy and poems on the other. The morning mist, sunset, and misty rain here have been praised by countless literati, allowing you to feel a millennium-long dialogue between nature and culture;

🐲Julongtan Scenic Area is the only amphibious cave adventure in Yangshuo, with over 40 scenic spots. Looking up, you see the spectacular stalactites formed over hundreds of millions of years. Under the lights, they take on countless shapes and look incredibly magical. Seeing it live is very shocking, like exploring an underground dragon palace. The cave maintains a constant temperature, making it very cool in summer;

🏠Jing Chu Yu Lan is the place to taste authentic delicacies or have a coffee and take a break. The gentle color scheme of the design is very healing. The floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor frame the Li River landscape like a flowing painting. Sunlight refracts through the glass, sparkling and full of atmosphere! The creative cultural area’s handmade crafts are cute and exquisite, perfect as souvenirs to bring back for friends;

📌The beauty of Guilin lies in the quiet whisper of its mountains, waters, and culture over thousands of years. This summer vacation, take your kids away from the hustle and bustle and immerse yourselves in this living "landscape illusion." Deep, off-the-beaten-path experiences without rushing—that’s the right way to discover the world-renowned Guilin!
