Very few fishermen left as most moved to the mainland so their children could attend school. We were rowed around the village by the locals in flat bottom boats.

Beautiful landscape. The sampan boat ride was interesting. The museum of Cua Van floating village was full of information. Blue water and blue sky. Highly recommended!

Cute quaint kind people. Accessible only by boat. Some fish farming and processing fish out in the open but the village is very very poor and i am not there to judge another group this way.

Everywhere is rubbish on the water... We expect a nice bay. But that's so sad. The styrofoam ist from the fishingfarms used as floating devices

Good place to spend time with friends

A very very big park. Great for morning exercise. There are many attractions within the park so you have to be selective. The easy way is to take a tram to the top (when most people get off) and walking down to explore. There is only Chinese signage and even that it is not very clear. There is Buddhist temple and viewing deck at the top. The other attraction I visited is the Longxiang Tower 龙象塔, which offers a 360 view of the city. The Confucian Temple 南宁孔庙 is near the south gate.

This is an absolutely huge park or mountain with several entrances. The park is manicured throughout with several themes, with temples, gardens, lakes, bridges, etc. scattered around. To enjoy it in full, at least a good half day should be allowed and to be prepared for a lot of walking, or there are shuttle buses for different routes that would take to different beautiful spots and attractions with stops enroute. There is a metro exit right next to the Western entrance, which is most convenient. From the top, by the temple, there are observation platforms that offer a superb view of Nanning.

Qingxiu Mountain is a truly amazing place to visit, with its long history, ancient architecture, and stunning scenic views. Highly recommended!

Good park in Nanning. RMB 20 for adult entry. Well maintained, and a lot of beautiful plants. Shuttle cars are available with RMB 5 per ride or RMB 34 for a daily ticket. You can hire a bicycle but it is not so easy to ride due to the hilly terrain.

This is a nice quiet place, suitable to come for relaxing both mind and body to get freshness and of course able to pay respect to Holy Lord Budha and Mother Kuan-im at the mountain top.

To reach the top of Qingxiu mountain, you can buy a shuttle car ticket and go to their station near the entrance gate. From the top of mountain, you can see panoramic of Nanning's city. Not only that, on the top of the mountain, there's a temple where you can pray. If you walk down of the mountain you can also find a Thailand temple. Near the entrance gate, there's a orchid garden and you need to walk around 15 minutes to reach the garden.

wonder place to walk around for a day. tranquility . Having a guided tour is great to learn about the plants. enjoy . There is a littler restaurant inside and is quite good.

Very nice views onto the city. Easy walk up the mountain (although it gets really hot). 5* for the mountain, 2* off for the management! There is trash along the steps which seem not to have been cleared for many days. Also, there are no restaurants or shops opened along the route (even though they are marked on the map) so if you didn't bring enough water with, you're out of luck on the mountain. Also, the elevator didn't work.

Very nice overview of the city! Don’t miss the elevator (as we did) 🤪 Cable car does not exist any more…

Best location for check Liuzhou Skyline

(Translated by Google) If you want to have a bird's-eye view of Liuzhou's scenery, you might as well go up to Ma'an Mountain on the south bank of the Liujiang River. You can choose to hike up or pay to take an elevator directly to the top of the mountain. It only takes one minute to climb from the ground to a height. If it happens to rain when you go there, there will be clouds and mist on the mountains, and Liuzhou will be a bit hazy and beautiful at that time.

I think it is interconnected with Guilin 2 rivers & 4 lakes because it is nearby to one another. The place is nice, the view is beautiful and it is quite crowded with so many tourists. The entrance is free and there are so many booths and stalls that sell food, drinks and souvenirs. The place is also clean. You can see an elephant shape on the hill and there are also activities like river Cruise and so on here.

"Elephant Trunk Hill, located at the confluence of Taohua River and Li River in Guilin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, is named because the shape of the hill resembles an elephant drinking water by the river and is known as the symbol of Guilin's landscape. The main scenic spots in Xiangshan Scenic Area include Water Moon Cave, Elephant Eye Rock, Puxian Pagoda, Yunfeng Temple, and the exhibition hall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Revolutionary Site in the temple. Water Moon Cave is close to the riverside, and the Li River flows through it, like a floating moon in the water. One scholar in Jibei of the Song Dynasty wrote a poem Water Moon Cave Rhyme which was carved on the cave, saying "In the water, there is a bright moon, over the water, there is a floating moon. The water is flowing, while the moon is still there. The moon is gone, while the water is still flowing." The poem graphically depicts the beautiful scenery of the Water Moon Cave. In 2017, it was rated as a national AAAAA tourist attraction, covering an area of 118,800 square metres. It is a natural scenic spot of Karst landform. It has been a famous tourist attraction since the Tang Dynasty and has a tourist history of more than 1,000 years."

This place is extremely calm and quiet. It is a great place to take a break from shopping when on holidays. The post officer nearby sells souvenirs and post cards with imprints of the elephant trunk hill. Be warned that it can get extremely crowded at times due to the large influx of people trying to take photos with the hill

I recommend a stroll around Guilin, where this elephant-shaped hill, a symbol of the city, is located near the center. For foreign tourists, admission is free and no reservation is required. You must have a passport, which obviously applies to all of China.

Interesting place that has hundred years of history. Nice park to walk around in and enjoy the scenery. It can be crowded so pick your tune to visit and avoid the crowd.

Nice sightseeing spot, although very busy with a lot of tourists even outside of public holiday season.

Went here 10/12/2024. As of that date, tickets are not required and admission is free. Multiple shops inside for drinks and refreshments. There is a boat ride as well. Nice view and good scenic spot. Since it's free at the time if writing, it's A+ for me.

Nice park for a stroll. Nice greenery and plenty to see. There is a nice teahouse in the middle of the lake. The place really lights up at night. You can see the locals dance and join in!

Beautiful area. Would definitely recommend for everyone. Beautiful both during day/night

A nice park for a walk. The paths are a bit narrow so it can be quite difficult to get around if there are a lot of people.

A bit overrated, but still a great attraction to see. You only need to spend a good ten or so minutes stopping by here in the evening on the east end of the park to admire the two towers and take some photos. Free admission.

A very nice place with breathtaking view. Went there in the evening and enjoy the view until nite time. There are lots of local having a good time exercising & chit-chating with friends. You can also get lots of local fishing in the lake as well. For me the best time to visit is during evening as you can have 2 different view of the same 2 pagoda.

Had a great time in Guilin. Went during Chinese New year's and to our surprise it wasn't really that busy. The weather was also pleasant and not very cold. Many places to go explore and sight see. Including the three hour river ride, the famous rice terrace and the caverns. About 3 days should be enough to go do all these places. Book a tour like we did. It was worth it.

This big park has been visited by an American President Bill Clinton. A plaque at the Camel Rock commemorate his visit. The Camel Rock used to be the icon of Guilin until it was replace by the Elephant Hill.

Nice maintained paied park but all activities inside need to add ticket cost

Used to come here often as a kid, but the scenery inside is not worth the entrance price. The highlight for me are the several hills inside the park that can be easily hiked for good views of the city, a hill shaped like a camel where Bill Clinton gave a speech, and a mosque and several modest Buddhist temples, but they may have renovated and gone commercial. Qixing Cave can be skipped if you see Reed Flute Cave. If you are put off by the ticket price, there are a few places where the park fence intersect the river where one could sneak in for free, just watch for poop along the path.

The park itself is fine, OK to visit, ticket isn't too expensive, but need another different tickets for here and there, the famous CAVE is one of them, need an extra ticket to enter. The pavilion on top of the middle small hill is not that worth it after reach it, not well maintained and not very clean, either. The view for surrounding terrains are just fine.

Nice park in Guilin, you could climb up a mountain inside the park to get a great view of the city and surrounding mountains. Had some beautiful sculptures and nice amenities. The high ropes course is cool, but much more suited to kids than adults as we found out the hard way 😂

A nice Park right in the centre of Guilin. The view from the star pavilion is great. We met a monk praying at the top of the mountain, saw some monkeys and took a photo in ethnic costumes in front of camel Hill. All in all a very relaxing way to spend an afternoon

Nice and large park, lot of spectacular monkeys. They are not aggresives if you avoid to show some food and try to touch them... Interesting paintings selling point and others.

This place has been closed for years. Don't go there at the address. The ower went bankrupt.

One of the amazing things you can see in Guilin. It is astonishing to see how nature forms these interesting stalactites and stalagmites. A few of them resemble animals, people, fruits, vegetables and landscapes. The way they are lit also makes it even prettier. I would not recommend this for people with mobility problems because it involves quite a bit of walking up and down stairs. The men's toilet was also special. The urinals are enclosed in glass and you can have a nice view while peeing 😁 Make sure you visit this place if you are in Guilin. Not to be missed.

I’ve always loved admiring natural scenery, and this time I had the chance to visit Reed Flute Cave. It’s a well-known karst cave relatively close to the city center and has even hosted several national leaders. Inside, you’ll find an incredible variety of stalactites, stalagmites, stone pillars, curtains, and flowers—each with unique shapes and truly spectacular. Thankfully, it wasn’t too crowded on the day I visited, and since the cave is quite spacious, I could take my time to enjoy the sights and snap photos. Just a heads-up: you need to purchase a ticket to enter. A must-visit for nature lovers!

We made the right decision to take the tram up to the entrance to the cave even though this is a separate cost apart from the entrance ticket. There are 2 prices to the entrance ticket. The more expensive one basically includes an entrance fee to a specific section in the reed cave itself. Can do without, I find nothing spectacular in there, it's just some manmade photo spots with some artificial lightings. The cave was wet and could be slippery so wear suitable shoes with good friction. Interesting guided tour (included in entrance ticket) in Mandarin. I think it's worth a visit if you're in Guilin for a couple of days.

Nice cave walk exploration here to spend 1hr in it. Recommended. But beware that the floor can be wet. The cable car ride is just not worth it. Better walk up and down on your own.

Pretty cool spot! The place was easy to navigate and the cave was cool but I feel there's a lot of these worldwide and this doesn't really stand out from the others. Definitely worth checking out though.

Nice place, but totally skippable. The colored lights make it a bit trashy, and there is no highlight really worth the visit unless you are in love with caves.

A great place to visit to see these wonderful caves. The scenery outside is equally stunning and offers a great vista.

The Longji or Dragon’s Backbone rice terraces were built over 500 years ago during the Ming Dynasty. The terrace fields are found in Longsheng about a two hours drive from Guilin. From a distance, during the growing season, these winding terraces appear as if they were green woven cables laid out over the hillsides, starting at the riverbank and ending near the mountaintop. Visitors can meander through the paddies and villages, greeting and being greeted by horses, pigs, chickens and hard working locals.

Breathtaking and astounding at the same time.

Everything well organised

It is a different feeling and view in raining day in here. It is great.

Here is also the main entrance to view the breath taking paddy field terrace and native's simple living.

One can keep this place in their bucket list. I will go there again.

A fantastic experience !

4 days trip in guan tung travel , hotel is excellent. Bboth dinner n breakfast are buffet , fwek good

Before leaving for the resort for a 3 days 2 nights golf holiday, I read with concern, some negative reviews written 7 years ago about the rooms being dirty, full of cigarette smell, paper thin walls and nothing working. I consoled myself that after 7 years, things should improve. Unfortunately, everything written were still the same in 2025. Basically a 2-3* countryside hotel. So lower your expectations.

It was good place to stay in Chaina. It was more clean than hoters in downtown.

My brother and sister were sitting in the back seat and were so scared that they almost flew away! ! We also meet the conditions and can play. Playing in amusement parks can scare people to death! ! Think twice about using entertainment facilities, especially pirate ships! Everything else is fine. Even though many years have passed, the shadow never goes away!

Visit only at autumn except photo shoting

Very beautiful old town with traditional style buildings. Have a slow stroll along river and take in the gorgeous riverside scenery. There are many shops along the main shopping street selling traditional snacks and local food as well as traditional handicrafts.

One of the few beautiful bridges at Fenghuang Ancient Town. Lots of people trying to take photos here. Be careful you don't get pushed. 🤣 also a lot of locals will follow you and try to offer photography services... some very aggressive and follow you around hounding you. Its very scenic, with many great photo opportunities.

Fenghuang Bridge is a beautiful experience and a gorgeous place to explore. It is truly one of those places you have to visit at least once.

Very beautiful view, should come at night and stay here for 1 night and get up early in the morning to take pictures.

The ancient city of Phoenix is a place for the avid photographer The view from the river is enchanting and picturesque

One of the many beautiful bridges..

Currently under maintenance so scaffoldings everywhere and cannot get the iconic shot of the bridge. I would wait six months or so - Nov 2025

Absolutely stunning wooden stilted houses along the green river that snakes along the valley. At night this gorgeously authentic indigenous village with it's serene boat rides transforms into a magically lit masterpiece. The town offers many eateries at reasonable prices and if you are willing to walk away from the main bridges, you can find a more peaceful village scene and nice homestays overlooking the river and pagodas. At night the transformation also includes the visitors all decked out in the indigenous clothing and of course posting photos for social media, which makes for a very interesting evening wandering through the town.

This FengHuang Ancient Town is even more magical at night, tastefully lit up. The city is full of life with both youngsters and elderly using the city as a stage to dress up in the ethnic costumes of the minority people of this place and parade themselves at each and every beautiful vista of this town with their personal photographer. Interesting and quaint shops abound all over the little alleyways. I would return here.

A well preserved ancient town within a modern city. Unlike other ancient towns in China, there is no entry fee. There are pedestrian paths on both sides of Toujiang river, about 2-3 kilometres long and connecting with many small alleys, especially on the southern side. At night, buildings along riverside are all lit up and there are a few performances on the river, igniting a festive vibe. There are many shops for traditional Miao costume as well as professional photos shooting services. Many women, young and old alike seemed to enjoy this activity. The town is worth staying for at least one night. Most people will combine visiting to this town in the Zhangjiajie multi-day trip itinerary. The town is easily accessible by high speed train.

Beautiful place to visit. At night, it gets very crowded, but the scenery is worth seeing. There are restaurants and shops, and costume rentals and photo opportunities are available. It's a really great experience.

A place to see buildings that come from a different time in china. The buildings here and the ancient town are amazing. I got here by train and took a taxi into the town. Very easy to do so even with out knowing that many words in chinese. The taxi driver called ahead and spoke to my hotel and the person at the hotel came out to greet me . This was great since I was staying in the ancient city part . He took me down the narrow streets and alley to the room. Two things you will find here besides the city are places to get dressed into period correct chinese clothing and food. There are lots of tours as well. But if you are able just exploring the city by yourself is great. Use alipay or wepay instead of cash or card.

Small ancient town similar to many other ancient towns in China. Stay for day and night the transformation is beautiful with the lights and performance along the river. Try on the miao ethnic costumes for photo opportunities. Not expensive and the the edited photos are nice.

Beautiful ancient town with its architecture & river at the center. Be sure to compare pictures taken in the day vs taken in the night when the lightings are on! its a 2 different view altogether. I wouldnt recommend taking the boat ride - nothing interesting about it.
