Guilin's secret paradise discovered! Guihai Qinglan is breathtakingly beautiful 🦢 Every snap looks like a masterpiece!
Who understands the joy of running wildly under the blue sky and white clouds! I found this little Switzerland hidden in downtown Guilin! Meadows, lakes, and flocks of swans—an afternoon here is never enough for photos 📸
📍 Address: No. 22 Hangtian Road, Qixing District, Guilin City, Xinchang Guihai Qinglan
🚗 Transportation tip: It's recommended to take a taxi directly; about 20 minutes from downtown
✨ Must-try activities
1️⃣ Lake sightseeing car (30 RMB/hour)
Feel the breeze while watching swans glide across the lake, and you might suddenly feel like you've stepped into a fairy tale!
2️⃣ Lakeside lawn picnic area
Bring a picnic blanket! Enjoy afternoon tea facing the sparkling lake, and the swans will actively come to beg for food (you can buy feed to feed them)
📸 Recommended photo spots
➊ Corner of the lake heart boardwalk
Blue sky and white clouds + the karst peaks in the background all in one frame! Swans often swim nearby
➋ Bench under the camphor tree
Absolutely stunning at 4 PM when the sunlight slants, with dappled shadows creating a perfect atmosphere
🌤️ Tips for visiting:
- The light is softest from 3 to 6 PM on sunny days
- Wear light-colored clothes for better photos
- Remember to bring a sun hat and mosquito repellent
- There’s a small stall at the entrance selling bubble machines and balloons
🦢 Don’t rush to leave after watching the swans! The orange lake surface at dusk is so beautiful it leaves you speechless. We only left after our phones ran out of battery...
