Just ask if you don't understand: Who on earth says Guangxi isn't worth visiting??

Never expected that under a Guangxi travel guide request post, the most frequent comments were "not recommended, don't go, refund your tickets". After 3 days and 2 nights, I'm back to vindicate Guangxi: It's absolutely worth visiting!

🔵 Itinerary Overview
DAY1: Chongqing - High-speed train - Yangshuo
DAY2: Yangshuo - Chartered car - Guilin
DAY3: Guilin - High-speed train - Chongqing

🔵 Overall Experience
During this 3-day-2-night trip, we encountered no scams in dining, accommodation or transportation. Both hotel/B&B services and taxi drivers were warm and friendly - so much so that we rehired a previous driver for our Yangshuo-Guilin transfer.

🔵 Activities
✔ Yangshuo Bamboo Rafting: 90-minute dual bamboo raft experience from Jinlongqiao Pier (¥320). Marvel at stunning landscapes while literally floating through a painting. Includes 9 dam crossings (some thrilling) - no need for special sandals, just lift your feet.
✔ Yangshuo E-bike Adventure: A must-do🛵! ¥30/day. Navigate to Shuangliu Yidu Pavilion - best enjoyed in cool mornings. Rest at Rice Field Coffee or have lunch at One Cow One Snail.
✔ Guilin City Walk: Elephant Trunk Hill (Gate 1, free onsite booking) → Li River stroll → Sun & Moon Pagodas → Zhengyang Pedestrian Street → East & West Alley → Xiaoyao Tower → Prince Jingjiang's Mansion → Banyan Lake...

🔵 Food
◽️ Feizi Luosifen: Authentic flavor without strong odor, reasonably priced (though no actual snails)
◽️ One Cow One Snail: Delicious! Broth resembles Kaili sour soup, cozy ambiance
◽️ Rice Field Coffee: Atmospheric café surrounded by rice fields
◽️ Gouwei Wang: Extensive menu featuring local specialties 🥗
◽️ Qiufu Rice Noodles: Extremely spicy chili... Even challenged spice-loving Guizhou/Chongqing locals

🔵 Accommodation
✔ Yangshuo Yuyuan Jingshe (Yulong River Ten-Mile Gallery Branch) ¥800+/night (breakfast included)
Riverside location with expansive grounds: emerald lawns, dual pools, children's facilities. Mid-Autumn activities offered. Impeccable service with warm staff🥰

Highly recommended! Prime location, superb value, plus we got a room upgrade.
