Entering Guilin Landscape: Exploring the First Bay, the Second Bay and the Third Bay of Lijiang River

Guilin is the best in the world, and Yangshuo Guilin is the first!

"The river floats, and the mountain is like a jade hairpin"! Lijiang River is like a woman with a variety of amorous feelings, showing her graceful figure incisively and vividly, tempting tourists from all directions. When we sit on a cruise ship, take a bamboo raft or walk along the river, and watch the beautiful Guilin landscape, facing the blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters, and the reflection of Qifeng, the relaxed and comfortable feeling as if people are traveling in the pictorial world is really cool!

However, the beauty of Lijiang River goes far beyond this! If one day, when you climb to the top of the mountain and overlook the mountains, the sea of clouds is churning and the clear water is as white as white, it is like being in the mirror of fairyland on earth, and you and your friends are shocked!

Since we are climbing the mountain to see the Lijiang River, we should talk about the three favorite bays of the Lijiang River!

The three bays of Lijiang River generally refer to three beautiful bends overlooking the top of Damian Mountain, Xianggong Mountain and Laozhai. The three bends are connected, first flowing through Xianggong Mountain, then through Laozhai Mountain, and then through Damian Mountain. So whose scenery is the most beautiful? Who is the first bay of Lijiang River in everyone's mind?

People say that "Xianggong Mountain is beautiful, Laozhai Mountain is beautiful and Damian Mountain is the most beautiful", so Damian Mountain is the first bay of Lijiang River, Xianggong Mountain is the second and Laozhai Mountain is the third. Many people think that Xianggong Mountain is the first bay of Lijiang River, but it is not. Because of its early tourism development and convenient transportation and accommodation, many tourists choose to go there to watch the sunrise, so it is very popular and well-known. However, Damian Mountain has not been developed in the deep mountains and forests. The mountain roads are terrible, the accommodation is inconvenient, and the map is not marked. Many people don't know the way, and they usually go by photographers and outdoor travelers. Damian Mountain is higher than Xianggong Mountain, close to Lijiang River, with great momentum and broad vision. Sunrise works of other mountains are dwarfed under the sky. And Damian Mountain has won many awards in the international photo contest, which shows this point.

Can I see the three major bays of Lijiang River in one day by car? The answer is: of course!

Route 1 (recommended): board Xianggong Mountain or xianrentai-> Damian Mountain->; Changes in Xingping Wharf->; Laozhai Mountain->; Visit Xingping Ancient Town-> 20 yuan observation deck-> A return trip/journey home

Route 2: board Xianggong Mountain or xianrentai-> World famous places-> Nine horses painting mountains-> Take a bamboo raft or hike along the river to Xingping Ancient Town-> 20 yuan observation deck-> Visit Xingping Ancient Town-> Laozhai Mountain->; Changes in Xingping Wharf->; Huangnitan Village-> Damian Mountain->; Return trip (this route needs someone to drive the car from Jiu Ma Huashan Pier to the other side of Xingping Ancient Town Pier).

The first route is relatively easy to arrange. This article focuses on the scenery along the second route!

First stop: Go to Xianggong Mountain to watch the sunrise at the Second Bay of Lijiang River.

Xianggong Mountain ticket to 60 yuan (you can find someone to buy you 30 yuan), 15 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. There are many people watching the sunrise at ordinary times, so you'd better get up early and go up the mountain to seize the favorable terrain.

Second stop: Xianggong Mountain watched the sunrise, drove past Hebao Village, turned around, stopped at the head of the old village, and then took photos on foot at the stone tablet in Guilin.

Third stop: After taking photos of Jiatianxia Stone Monument, return to the car and drive to Jiu Ma Huashan Wharf. You can choose to take a bamboo raft ferry to Duiyan and walk along the river to Xingping Ancient Town.

Fourth stop: Enjoy the scenery of Lijiang River on foot along the river. After visiting the scenic spots in 20 yuan, arrive at Xingping Ancient Town.

Fifth stop: Visit Laozhai Mountain to see the third bay of Lijiang River: Laozhai Mountain is near Xingping Pier, which is easy to find. The mountain road is steep, and it takes more than half a minute to climb. The scenery is good (unfortunately, you can't have a panoramic view of the whole turn. If you want a panoramic view, you can go to Tongzi Mountain, 200 meters away from Xingping Guzhen Bridge).

Sixth stop: get off at Laozhai Mountain, take the ferry from Xingping Pier to the other side, get on the bus and get off at Huangnitang Village (this section of the road is difficult to walk without repairs).

Seventh stop: climb to the top of the mountain to enjoy the first bay of Lijiang River (because Damian Mountain is undeveloped, it is not easy to find a route hundreds of meters up the mountain. After you find the cement step road, you can walk all the way to the top of the mountain, which takes about 50 minutes).

The scenery in Damian Mountain is really beautiful! The blue sky is full of blank clouds, the continuous green hills stretch for hundreds of miles, and the dense peaks stand tall. The clear Lijiang River draws an ω-shaped flow direction from the foot of the mountain. The snail rock and carp wings on the right are spectacular, and the other mountains look very short under the sky. The breeze is refreshing. Open my hands, as if to embrace the whole mountains and rivers, I can't help screaming, screaming, and then singing "I love you, my home, my heaven!" " I really want to stay at the top of the mountain and watch the sunset glow, the stars and the sunrise. If I can meet the sea of clouds, it will be a personality explosion!
