Guilin is full of scenic spots, among which the landscape of Lijiang River is a model. Hearing the story that "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world and Yangshuo is the best in Guilin", we chose the route from Yangshuo to Guilin and swam the Lijiang River against the current. Soon after the ship sailed out, I saw a new moon hanging from a peak in the distance. The sun was shining through the clouds, and the river was sparkling, which reflected the mountains. It was doubtful that I had arrived in a fairyland. If the mountains in the north are heroic and heavy, then the mountains in Guilin are charming and beautiful. Yunv Mountain Tingting Yuli, cleverly combing the clouds; Wangfu Cliff is gazing into the distance, waiting with deep affection; The extremely eager students, the carp jumping from Longmen, the hovering snails and the camels in oases are all of different shapes and changes, which make visitors dizzying. The nine horses of "Painting Mountain", under the guidance and narration of the tour guide, make the mountains in Guilin superb to the extreme, so that visitors can truly appreciate the magic and beauty of Guilin's landscape.
If the mountains in Guilin are "the birds are singing more quietly", 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 color 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. What do you think of it is a long landscape painting, which reveals the spirit of agility in a dignified way. It is really "sailing on the blue waves, people are in Traveling in a pictorial world".
standing at the bow of the boat and looking over the railing, the Lijiang River is full of smoke, which makes people wonder where they are going. In the cycle of history, I seem to see the place where Liu Sanjie sang songs in the past. Hundreds of years of old trees are flourishing, fishing boats are swimming happily in the water, people are working hard in the fields, spreading the hope of harvest, and looking closer, foreign friends with blond hair and blue eyes also come for an outing and talk. Although I can't appreciate the idyllic scenery of "the smoke of every household is thick", I can see that a modern Guilin is thriving.
After visiting the Lijiang River, we were busy feeling the beauty of the grottoes and rocks in Guilin, mentioning the caves, such as reed flute cave and Qixing Rock, which were developed earlier. With the psychology of exploration, we went to Fengyu Rock in Lipu County for seclusion. 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 suit and vaguely heard the dripping sound of lava. At first, it was drop by drop, and gradually, it became a roaring land. It seemed that countless urchins were frolicking in the game, and the branches and leaves of the jungle collided with each other in the wind. Occasionally, some water drops drip into the underground river, and there is a distant and empty ancient music. Let's keep going. Sometimes the water is gurgling, but sometimes the waterfalls are blowing on my face. In the "boom" sound of the water, I realized Li Bai's artistic conception of "flying down 3 feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way has set for nine days", and the emotion surge up with it. I don't know how many twists and turns, we came to the resplendent Crystal Palace. After the artificial transformation of the ancient cave, many gorgeous colors were added, like the colorful Penglai Wonderland. With color, the shape of the rock is lifelike: the golden hoop of Qingtian seems to be telling the bumpy journey of learning from the West; Yang Guifei slowly lifted the stone curtain and watched the dancing of the group, which was charming and colorful, and could not help but remind people of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. In the kingdom of dinosaurs, dinosaurs "whoa" with strange looks show their power. Looking at these ingenious masterpieces, we can't help but admire the greatness of nature. It is this drop of water that has gone through thousands of years, tasted the eternal vicissitudes, and carved such a magical landscape. How broad and 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! Compared with this, "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's landscape is explaining a philosophy to every tourist: persistence will create eternity. Yes, everything in the world has not experienced thousands of years of baptism to achieve today's glory and glory? Perseverance is the sword to defeat any challenge. After swimming in Guilin, we have no reason to give up easily. Friend, if you are free, you might as well visit Guilin!
"Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and Yangshuo can be called 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's 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 secluded and picturesque; The grotesque rocks in the cave are wonderful and dazzling, so it has formed the "four wonders" of Guilin with "green mountains, beautiful water, strange caves and beautiful stones", and has been praised as "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" since ancient times.
Guilin is an ancient cultural city. With a history of more than 2, years, it has a rich cultural background. 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 central plains in the north. After the Song Dynasty, it has been the political, economic and cultural center of Guangxi, known as the "Southwest Huifu" 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, stone carvings and wall books, and left many historical sites here.
For thousands of years, Guilin has been a treasure-house for people to visit. Now, a scenic spot with Guilin as the center and 12 surrounding counties has been formed. There are vast and verdant virgin forests, majestic and steep peaks and valleys, 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 Mao Nan. The natural scenery, ethnic customs, history and culture of Grand Guilin deeply attract Chinese and foreign tourists and heads of state to come in droves and linger.
people say, "Guilin is the best in the world." We took a wooden boat on the Lijiang River to enjoy the landscape of Guilin.
I have seen the magnificent sea and enjoyed the mirror-level West Lake, but I have never seen such water as the Lijiang River. The water in Lijiang River is so quiet that you can't feel it flowing. The water in Lijiang River is so clear that 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. The microwave aroused by the paddle spreads out a series of water lines, which makes you feel that the ship is moving forward and the shore is moving backwards.
I have climbed the majestic Mount Tai and visited the fragrant hills with red leaves, but I have never seen the mountains around Guilin. The mountains in Guilin are really strange. They rise from the ground one after another, unconnected, like old people, like giant elephants, like camels, and the peaks are listed in thousands of forms. The mountains in Guilin are really beautiful, like green barriers and newborn bamboo shoots, with bright colors reflected in the water; The mountains in Guilin are really dangerous. The dangerous peaks stand upright, and the jagged rocks seem to fall down carelessly.
This kind of mountain is surrounded by this kind of water, and this kind of water reflects this kind of mountain. Coupled with the misty clouds in the air, the green trees and red flowers in the mountains, and the bamboo rafts on the river, it makes you feel like you have entered a continuous picture. It is really "the boat is on the blue waves, and people are in Traveling in a pictorial world".

[ Edit this paragraph] The mountain of Guilin
Elephant trunk mountain
is located on the right bank of the Lijiang River in southeast Guilin. The mountain is named because it resembles an elephant standing by the river and stretching its nose to absorb water. It is a symbol of Guilin. From Shanxi to the top, you can reach the elephant back. There is elephant eye rock on the mountain, and a pair of eyes resembling elephants are worn on the left and right sides, from the bottom of the right eye to the Antarctic cave, and the wall of the cave is engraved with the words "Antarctic cave". Go up a few more steps to Shuiyue Cave, which is 1 meter high and 2 meters deep. It looks like a half moon. The cave reflects into the water, just like a full moon. At night, the moon rises, and the scenery is beautiful. In the Song Dynasty, a tourist named Jibei Chu Shi wrote such a quatrain with the title of Shui Yue: "There is a bright moon under the water, but the bright moon floats on the water. The water does not go in the month, and the water still flows in the month. " There are more than 5 stone carvings in Xiangbi Mountain, many of which are carved on the cliffs inside and outside Shuiyue Cave. Among them, Zhang Xiaoxiang's Chaoyang Pavilion in the Southern Song Dynasty, Fan Chengda's Fu Shui Yue Cave Inscription and Lu You's Poetry Ceremony are famous. Climb the rock steps and go straight to the top of the mountain, that is, see an ancient brick tower standing on the top of the mountain. From a distance, it looks like a hilt inserted on the elephant's back, and it looks like a quaint Aquarius, so it is called "hilt tower" and "Aquarius tower".
