Finally arrived at Yangshuo, Guilin, which I first saw in my elementary school textbook. Looking out, the karst landform wonders blend beautifully with the gentle waves of clear water, and the sunset adds a touch of charm. This is a uniquely Chinese romantic scene of Guilin's mountains and rivers~

🥘 Must-try foods
✨ Guilin Rice Noodles: Affordable, with two servings of noodles and unlimited toppings, crispy and not greasy. Especially delicious when you eat the noodles first and then the soup.
✨ Beer Fish: You can order it mildly spicy, just the right amount of heat. The fish is fried and goes perfectly with rice.
✨ Bamboo Tube Chicken: The chicken is tender and not dry, with a fresh bamboo fragrance that helps cut the greasiness!

This time I stayed at [Huazhu·Yangshuo Puyue Creekside Villa (Yangshuo West Street Li River Branch)], which was a wonderful surprise!
The guesthouse is located near the prime area of Yangshuo West Street, surrounded by lush trees and flowing streams. You can enjoy the bustling West Street and the leisure by the creek at the same time~ The exterior is simple and elegant, and the rooms are decorated mainly in a Nordic natural style. The rooms offer great value and are equipped with smart devices and complete facilities!

Especially if you stay for two consecutive nights, you can ride an electric bike for free! Upon check-in, you will receive a pair of sleep aid earplugs~ Most importantly, luggage storage is free🆓!
