I want to travel to Guilin. Who can provide information about Guilin’s scenic spots?

Reed Flute Cave and Qixing Cave

There are two famous caves in Guilin. Although they are both karst caves, they have completely different styles. The former is exquisite and magnificent, while the latter is majestic. Reed Flute Cave is mainly famous for its exquisiteness, magnificence and illusion. The entire cave is like a magnificent underground palace carved with gems, corals and jade, and is known as the "Palace of Nature's Art".

The highest point in the cave is 18 meters, the widest point is 93 meters, and the journey is more than 500 meters. The scenery in the cave is colorful and strange, including stone milk hanging from the top of the cave and stalagmites growing upward from the ground. There are also stone pillars connected by stalactites and stalagmites. There are also stone curtains, stone branches, stone flowers, stone waterfalls, etc. carved into different shapes by nature. Some of the stones are hollow inside and make pleasant sounds when struck. They are called stone harps, stone drums, stone bells, etc. according to the pitch of their sounds.

There are also four caves in the cave composed of these ever-changing stalactites: "Stone Mantle Forest", "Tianzhu Yunshan", "Crystal Palace" and "Twist Path Gallery". When visitors are exposed to more than 30 mysterious and illusory landscapes such as "Shiling Morning Glow", "Gaoxia Waterfall", "Tasong Aoxue", etc., they feel as if they are traveling in a mythical world.

Reed Flute Cave not only has beautiful scenery, but also has a profound cultural heritage. One hundred and seventy ancient wall books were discovered in the cave, many of which were titles and poems written by literati, monks and tourists. The authors came from all over the country, and their themes were mainly travel notes. It can be seen that Reed Flute Cave has become a tourist attraction as early as more than a thousand years ago in the Tang Dynasty.

The origin of the cave name:

Wild cats and small animals often appeared in Reed Flute Rock, so it was called "Wild Cat Rock". Later, people changed the name of the cave to "Reed Flute Cave" because of the reed grass growing near the entrance of the cave. The place where wild beasts roamed in the past has now become a "wonderland on earth" and is known as the "underground art palace".

The terraces are arranged layer by layer from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The small mountains are like snails and the large mountains are like towers. In the sea of ??terraced fields, the largest field is only one acre, and most of the fields are fragmented fields such as "belt mounds" and "three fields in a leap of frog" that can only grow one or two rows of grain. The terraced fields have different landscapes throughout the year, and the scene can be regarded as one of the wonders of the world.

Scenic Area Culture

The Zhuang and Yao ethnic groups live in the Longji Terraces Scenic Area. Ping'an Zhuang Rice Terraces and Jinkeng Hongyao Rice Terraces represent Zhuang culture and Yao culture respectively.

In addition, there are the pure and delicious Dragon's Back Bronze Drum Dance, Master Dance, and Pole Playing, which are refreshing.

Related introduction:

The Longji Terraces were built in the Yuan Dynasty and completed in the early Qing Dynasty. They have a history of more than 650 years.

The ancestors who opened the mountains and cultivated fields in Longji did not expect that the terraced fields they created with their blood, sweat and lives would turn into such a charming and graceful curved world. Their wisdom and strength in building their homes are fully reflected in the Longji Terraces.

There is such a joke to describe the smallness of terraced fields: A landowner asked a farmer to plow 206 fields at the foot of the mountain. After the farmer finished plowing the fields, he counted and found only 205 fields. Why? He couldn't find the last piece. Later, he picked up the coir raincoat on the ground and discovered that there was another field that was covered. Therefore, there is a saying that "the coir raincoat covers the field."

Travel Guide:

●In the Longji Rice Terraces tourist area, hiking is very popular among tourists. When you choose to walk to find scenic spots in the village, there are quite a lot of side roads, so be sure to remember to follow the stone road. If you really don’t know, just ask the farmers working on the roadside, and they will enthusiastically give directions.

●Be sure to ask if there is any charge when watching a performance in the village.

●Local people have the habit of leading and carrying backpacks for tourists, which is acceptable, but the price must be negotiated. Generally, the 2-hour journey costs about 10 yuan or 20 yuan.

●Since you must stay in the mountains for one night, you can call and contact us first. First, you can ask about the train number, second, you can book a room, and third, you can agree to have someone picked up from the hotel.

1. The best time to visit: half a month after the 15th day of the fourth lunar month, when the terraces start to drain water, and half a month after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the back of the new version of RMB 20 is a section of the Lijiang River landscape.

One of the wonderful things about visiting the Li River is that the landscape is not affected by time, place, or climate, but has its own uniqueness. The Lijiang River has its own unique flavor in different weather conditions: on a sunny day, the green peaks are reflected; on a cloudy day, the mountains are covered with clouds and mist; on a rainy day, the Lijiang River is filled with mist and rain. Even on a cloudy and rainy day, you can see the vast mist on the river, the mountains looming, floating clouds passing between the peaks, and the rain curtain covering the river and mountains like a gauze, just like various splash-ink paintings. It is precisely "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and the wonderful Li River in autumn".
