Guilin has beautiful scenery everywhere, and the Lijiang River landscape is a model. Hearing the story that "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and Yangshuo is the best in the world", we chose the route from Yangshuo to Guilin and swam against the Lijiang River. Soon after the ship sailed out, I saw a new moon hanging on a mountain in the distance. The sun shines through the clouds, and the river is sparkling, reflecting the mountains. Doubtful, I came to a fairyland. If the mountains in the north are bold and heavy, then the mountains in Guilin are charming and beautiful. Jade Girl Mountain is graceful and graceful, combing clouds skillfully; Wang Fu Cliff is staring into the distance, waiting affectionately; The eager students, the carp jumping off the Longmen, the snail hovering and the camel in the oasis, are all of different shapes and changes, which make tourists dizzying. "Painting Mountain" Nine Horses, under the guidance and narration of the tour guide, brought the beauty of Guilin's mountains to the extreme, allowing visitors to truly appreciate the magic and beauty of Guilin's landscape.
If the mountains in Guilin are "more secluded with birds", then the water in Guilin is clear, transparent and green. Looking down, the river is rippling, the jade pagoda is slightly blue, and the water is crystal clear. In addition, the bamboo forests on both sides of the strait are graceful and the mountains and rivers set each other off. How to look at it is a long landscape painting, which reveals the spirit of agility in modesty. It is really "sailing on the blue waves, and people travel in the picture world".
Standing at the bow and looking at the railing, the Lijiang River is full of smoke and waves, making people wonder where to go. In the cycle of history, I seem to see the place where Sanjie Liu used to sing. Hundreds of years old trees are flourishing, fishing boats are swimming happily in the water, people are working hard in the fields, spreading the hope of a bumper harvest. When you look closer, foreign friends with blond hair and blue eyes also come for an outing, and their words are full of admiration. Although I can't appreciate the rural scenery of "every household is densely smoked", I can see a modern Guilin thriving.
After visiting the Lijiang River, we are busy feeling the beauty of the grottoes in Guilin. The caves mentioned, such as reed flute cave and Qixingyan, are all scenic spots developed earlier. With the psychology of exploration, we went to Fengyuyan in Lipu County to find a secluded place. The whole cave spans Jiuchong Mountain, and the scenery is very special. When we entered the cave, we carefully followed the footsteps of history. We followed closely, vaguely hearing the sound of lava dripping. At first, it was drop by drop, and gradually, it became a roaring place. As if countless urchins were frolicking in the game, the branches and leaves of the jungle collided with each other in the wind. Occasionally, water drops drip into the underground river, and there is distant and empty ancient music. Let's move on. Sometimes the water gurgles, but sometimes the waterfall blows in my face. In the "boom" sound of water, I realized Li Bai's artistic conception of "flying down 300 feet, suspecting that the milky way has set for nine days", and the emotion surged. I don't know how many twists and turns, we came to the resplendent Crystal Palace. After artificial transformation of the ancient cave, many colorful colors have been added, just like the colorful Penglai fairyland. With color, the shape of the rock is lifelike: Qingtian's golden hoop seems to be telling the bumpy course of learning from the west; Yang Guifei slowly lifted the stone curtain and watched the group of people dancing and dancing, which made people think of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. In the dinosaur kingdom, the weird-looking dinosaurs showed their strength with a "wow". Looking at these ingenious masterpieces, we can't help admiring the greatness of nature. It is this drop of water that, after thousands of years, tastes eternal vicissitudes and carves such a magical landscape. How profound it is! And these rocks, which have been honed for thousands of years and sealed for a long time, are finally known to the world today. What perseverance is this! In contrast, "dripping water wears away the stone" is just a short moment in the long river of history.
Tracing back to the source of history, Guilin landscape is explaining a philosophy to every tourist: persistence will create eternity. Yes, didn't everything in the world go through thousands of years of baptism to achieve today's glory and glory? Perseverance is the sword to overcome any challenge. After visiting Guilin, we have no reason to give up easily. Friends, you may as well go to Guilin to play when you are free!
"Guilin landscape is the best in the world, and Yangshuo is a Guilin; The peaks reflect the floating mountains, and there is no mountain, no water and no ecstasy, which highly summarizes the important position of Yangshuo natural scenery in the world.
Guilin is a world-famous scenic city with unparalleled karst landforms. The mountains here are pulled up from the ground in various ways; The water of Lijiang River is winding and clear as a mirror. There are many caves in the mountains, and the caves are picturesque; The grotesque rocks in the cave are wonderful and dazzling, thus forming the "four wonders" of Guilin, which is known as "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" since ancient times.
Guilin is an ancient cultural city. It has a history of more than 2,000 years and a rich cultural heritage. After Qin Shihuang unified the thought country, he set up Guilin County, dug Lingqu, and communicated Xiangjiang River and Lijiang River. Since then, Guilin has become an important town in Nantong sea area and the northern Central Plains. Since the Song Dynasty, it has been the political, economic and cultural center of Guangxi, and it was called "Southwest Hui Fu" until the founding of New China. In the long years, Guilin's picturesque scenery has attracted countless literati, who have written many well-known poems and articles, carved more than 2,000 stone carvings and wall books, leaving many historical sites here.
For thousands of years, Guilin has been a treasure place for people to travel and see. Now it has formed a scenic spot with Guilin as the center and surrounding 12 counties. There are vast and verdant virgin forests, majestic and steep peaks and canyons, rushing streams and waterfalls, and amazing mountain terraces in the world ... In this magical land, there are more than ten ethnic minorities such as Zhuang, Yao, Miao, Dong, Mulao and Maonan. Great Guilin's natural scenery, ethnic customs, history and culture deeply attract Chinese and foreign tourists and heads of state to come in droves and linger.
People say, "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world." We enjoyed the scenery of Guilin on the Lijiang River by wooden boat.
I have seen the magnificent sea and the mirror-like West Lake, but I have never seen such water as Lijiang River. The water in Lijiang River is so quiet that you can't feel it flowing. The water in Lijiang River is very clear, and you can see the sand and stones at the bottom of the river. The water in Lijiang River is so green, as if it were a flawless jade. A series of waterlines are displayed by the microwave excited by the paddle, which makes you feel that the ship is moving forward and the shore is retreating.
I have climbed the majestic Mount Tai and visited the Red Leaves Fragrant Hills, but I have never seen the mountains around Guilin. The mountains in Guilin are really strange. They rose one after another, unconnected with each other, like old people, like giant elephants, like camels, and the peaks were listed in various ways. The mountains in Guilin are really beautiful, like green barriers and new bamboo shoots, with bright colors reflected in the water; The mountains in Guilin are really dangerous. The dangerous peak stands upright, and the grotesque rocks seem to have fallen down carelessly.
Such a mountain is surrounded by such water, and such water reflects such a mountain. Coupled with the fog in the air, the green trees and red flowers in the mountains and the bamboo rafts on the river, you feel like you have entered a continuous picture. It's really "the boat is in the blue waves and the people are in the picture".

[Edit this paragraph] The mountains of Guilin
Elephant Trunk Hill
Located on the right bank of the Lijiang River in the southeast of Guilin, this mountain is named after it looks like an elephant standing by the river and stretching its nose to absorb water. It is the symbol of Guilin. From Shanxi to the top of the mountain, you can reach the elephant back. There is an elephant eye stone on the mountain, with a pair of elephant-like eyes on the left and right, from the bottom of the right eye to the Antarctic cave, and the word "Antarctic cave" is engraved on the cave wall. A few more steps will lead to Shuiyue Cave, 1 meter high and 2 meters deep. It looks like half a moon, and the cave is reflected in the water, just like a full moon. At night, the bright moon rises and the scenery is beautiful. In the Song Dynasty, a tourist named Chu Shi in Jibei wrote such a quatrain with the title of Shui Yue: "There is a bright moon underwater, and the bright moon floats on the water. Shuiyue does not go, Shuiyue still flows. " There are more than 50 stone carvings in Elephant Trunk Mountain, many of which are carved on the cliffs inside and outside Shuiyue Cave. Among them, the Chaoyang Pavilion in Zhang Xiaoxiang in the Southern Song Dynasty, Fan Chengda's "Cave Inscription on the Moon Rich in Water" and Lu You's "Poetry Ceremony" are the most famous. Climb the stone steps until you reach the top of the mountain, and you will see an ancient brick tower standing on the top of the mountain. From a distance, it looks like a hilt inserted on the back of an elephant, and it looks like an ancient Aquarius, so it is called "hilt tower" and "Aquarius tower". This tower was built in the Ming Dynasty and is 13 meters high. Mount Xumi is a double octagon with a statue of a bodhisattva inside, hence the name "Pu Xian Tower".
Guilin Longsheng Longji Hua Ting
In Heping Township, southeast of Longsheng County, there is a large-scale terrace group, like a chain, winding from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Mountains like snails, mountains like towers. Its lines are smooth, chic and soft; Its scale is magnificent and it has the reputation of "the highest terrace in the world". This is Longji Terrace.

Terraces are distributed between 300- 1 100 meters above sea level, and the slope is mostly between 26-35 degrees, with the maximum slope of 50 degrees. Although there are terraces everywhere in the mountainous areas of southern China, terraces on the scale of Longji terraces are still rare. Longjitai was built in the Yuan Dynasty and completed in the early Qing Dynasty, with a history of more than 650 years. The ancestors of Longji, who cultivated the mountains, did not expect that the terraced fields they cultivated with blood, sweat and life became such a charming and unique arc world. In the long years, people's strong will to survive in nature, as well as their wisdom and strength to understand nature and build their homes, have been fully reflected here.
