Guihai Qinglan is truly stunning

Guilin's breathtaking secret spot! Captured some of the best photos of my life at Guihai Qinglan 📸

This fairy-tale place hidden in Qixing District is perfect for photography! The 25 RMB ticket is totally worth it. We stayed the whole afternoon and didn’t want to leave~ The first lake you see at the entrance is so beautiful it made us scream. The sunlight sparkles on the lake surface like tiny gold flecks, every shot looks like a masterpiece✨

🌟 Highlights:
1️⃣ Mirror-like lake
The first stop’s lake is crystal clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds so beautifully it feels unreal! I recommend wearing light-colored dresses for photos to instantly get that oil painting vibe.

2️⃣ Mysterious black swans
Although we didn’t visit Swan Lake (heard it’s a 15-minute walk), staff said elegant black swans are kept there, and you might even see spotted deer strolling around between 4-5 PM!

3️⃣ Forest trail
The park is lush with greenery, walking along the shaded paths is very soothing. Don’t forget to bring mosquito repellent~

📌 Practical info:
📍 Address: No. 22 Hangtian Road, Qixing District, Guilin
⏰ Opening hours: 8:00 AM - 7:30 PM (last entry at 6:30 PM)
🎫 Ticket: 25 RMB/person (super convenient to buy tickets on-site via QR code)

💡 Tips:
- The light is softest after 4 PM
- Wearing French-style dresses or Hanfu makes photos stand out more
- Remember to bring a reflector and bubble machine as props
- No convenience stores nearby, so bring your own bottled water

Transportation: It’s best to take a taxi and set the destination to "Guihai Qinglan Ticket Office." It’s about a 20-minute drive from downtown~ After shooting, you can go to Qixing Wanda for a meal. Highly recommend the vinegar duck and Lijiang beer fish!
