The picturesque Lijiang River originates from Mao 'er Mountain in Xing 'an, flows through Guilin and Yangshuo, and reaches the mouth of Gongcheng River in Pingle County. The 83-kilometer-long Lijiang River from Guilin to Yangshuo, like a green silk belt, is coiled among thousands of peaks. Qifeng is sandwiched between banks, and the clear water is lingering. The scenery is beautiful. Pastoral distribution along the river is also a good place to watch humanities and folk customs.
One of the wonders of visiting the Lijiang River is that you don't have to worry about the weather change, because the scenery of the Lijiang River has different characteristics in different weather: sunny days, watching the reflection of the breeze; On cloudy days, look at the mountains and clouds; On rainy days, watch the Lijiang River misty rain. Even on rainy days, I can see the waves of smoke rippling on the river, the mountains looming, the clouds passing between the strange peaks, and the rain curtain covering the mountains and rivers like a veil, just like all kinds of splash-ink watercolors. Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and the Lijiang River is full of autumn.
The usual tourist routes are: Jingpingshan Bridge-Liangfengjiang-Fuziyan-Mopanshan-Zhujiang Wharf-Di Yang-Wang Fushan-JiuMa Huashan-Lengfengdu-Xingping Ancient Town-Yangshuo.
The urban area of Guilin is very small, but there are many scenery. Fan Chengda, a famous poet in the Song Dynasty, said, "There are more than 30 famous caves, all of which are only seven or eight miles to the city, and the nearest one is two or three miles, which can be visited in one day." Zhu Shude, a landscape painter in Qing Dynasty, not only described the sixteen most beautiful scenes in Guilin, but also painted them. Nowadays, there are many beautiful mountains and rivers and new scenery here. It is impossible to see all the scenery in Guilin in one day, so we can only choose and appreciate it carefully. Here are only the tour arrangements for one-day tour and two-day tour in the city for tourists' reference.
Urban tourism in Guilin can be divided into landscape tourism and scenic spot tourism.
In the landscape tour, you can see reed flute cave, Diecai Mountain, Fu Bo, Elephant Trunk Mountain, Qixing Park and Folk Garden in one day tour. The two-day tour is divided into two routes: east and west. One day on the eastern route, you can visit Yaoshan scenery, Qixing Park, Chuanshan, Oriental Amusement Village, Elephant Trunk Mountain and other places; One day in the west, you can see reed flute cave, Diecai Mountain, Fu Bo, Xishan Park, Nanxi Mountain and Folk Garden.
During the tour of places of interest, you can visit the Imperial City of Ming Dynasty, Jingjiang Mausoleum, Guihai Historic Forest, Oujieyan, Duxiufeng and other places in one day.
In Guilin, the most representative scenic spots are: Elephant Trunk Mountain, Fu Bo, Diecai Mountain, Nanxi Mountain, Yaoshan Mountain, Duxiufeng, Qixingyan, reed flute cave, Maobiyan, Wangcheng in Ming Dynasty, Ronghu Lake and Shanshan Lake.
Elephant trunk mountain, also known as Xiangshan. Kong Yong, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, once wrote: "The elephant trunk clearly drinks the jade river, and the west wind absorbs water and responds to the waves. Qingshan is naturally a strange bone. You can never get tired of seeing each other during the day. " This century-old Elephant Trunk Mountain is located at the intersection of Lijiang River and taohuajiang in the south of the city. The mountain is shaped like a giant elephant, and its nose stretches out to absorb water from the river, hence its name. The big hole between the trunk and the trunk is the famous Shuiyue Cave. Fan Chengda said it is "a perfect circle, and its end looks like a moon wheel". The river flows through the Shuiyue Cave, and a boat can be flooded. On the night of the bright moon, its reflection constitutes the "Xiangshan Shuiyue" spectacle of "there is a bright moon underwater, and the bright moon floats on the water", which has made poets of all ages chant. There are more than 50 ancient stone carvings on the cliffs inside and outside the cave, among which the works of patriotic poets Zhang Xiaoxiang, Fan Chengda and Lu You in the Song Dynasty are the most famous. Although Lu You has never been to Guilin, he is fascinated by the strange mountains and strange waters here. He sent poems and letters to Du Sigong, a friend of the then magistrate of Zhaozhou (now Pingle County, Guilin City, Guangxi Province). Du Sigong, on the other hand, "ordered people to engrave his works on cliff stone carvings, so as to be the same as the world". At the foot of Elephant Trunk Mountain, there is a stone road leading to the top. The top of the mountain is flat and shaded by trees. This gun was used by the Taiping Army to attack the city. At the eastern end of the peak, there is a solid brick tower in Ming Dynasty, named after the image of Pu Xian embedded in it. The tower looks like a round bottle hilt, and some people call it a vase tower or a hilt tower. Yunfeng Temple, located at the southern foot of Elephant Trunk Mountain, was rebuilt in recent years and built in the Tang Dynasty. The historical relics of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are displayed in the temple. To the west of the temple is a stupa, which used to be a Kaiyuan Temple. Jian Zhen, a monk in the Tang Dynasty, failed to cross the sea for the fifth time and drifted to Hainan Island. On his way back to the north, he passed through Guilin, lived in Kaiyuan Temple, presided over a grand ceremony and gave lectures. Unfortunately, the ancient temple has long been abandoned, leaving only this stupa to tell the great events of that year. Elephant trunk mountain, with beautiful scenery, is a symbol of Guilin's landscape and Guilin's city, which is most loved by Chinese and foreign tourists.
Fu Bo is located on the Lijiang River in the northeast of Guilin. It was named after Ma Yuan Temple, the general of Fu Bo in the Han Dynasty, and was built in the Tang Dynasty. This mountain is a beautiful solitary peak, half of which is inserted into Hechi and the other half rests on the land. Every spring and summer, the river surges, and the foothills stop the rapid tide, turning the river upside down and having the power to subdue the waves. Fubo Mountain has beautiful scenery and strange caves. To the east of the mountain is the Linjiang cloister, the wave-absorbing teahouse and the Tingtao Pavilion built by the mountain, and to the west there are climbing stone steps, which can reach the Mid-Levels Pavilion and the top of the mountain. When you climb it, you can see the picturesque scenery of Guilin, so it has the reputation of "Fu Bo scenery". There is also the famous Zhu Huan Cave at the foot of Shandong, which is beautifully carved and connected smoothly. There are more than 100 kinds of stone carvings on the cave wall, among which the inscription and postscript, the self-portrait of Mi Fei, a great painter in the Song Dynasty, and the poems of Fan Chengda, a poet, are all treasures. The name of Zhu Huan Cave comes from an old legend. According to legend, a fisherman entered the cave and saw a shining pearl in front of a mysterious animal shaped like a dog. It was sleeping with its eyes closed. He came back with pearls. When Gzero knew this, he ordered him to return the orb. When the fisherman returned to the cave to return the pearl, the dog-like animal was still awake. So later generations called this cave Zhu Huan Cave. Dongdong is suddenly enlightened, facing Hechi. At the water's edge, there is a stone pillar hanging down, thick on the top and thin on the bottom, with a gap of more than one inch at the bottom, which is not connected with the ground. It is said that it was cut by General Fu Bo with a sword, so it is called the sword test stone. From here, you can reach the Thousand Buddha Cave, which contains more than 200 cliff statues of the Tang Dynasty. When you enter the Fubo Mountain Gate, you can also see a cast iron clock weighing more than 5,000 kilograms and a pot for thousands of people that can cook rice. Although these two huge portraits of Ding Yue Temple in Qing Dynasty have been eroded by wind and rain for more than 300 years, they are still intact, with clear ornamentation and inscriptions. Dingyue Temple was destroyed by war during War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's period, and the iron bell and iron pot were moved here.
Just one kilometer away from Fubo Mountain is Diecai Mountain, which is located on the bank of Lijiang River in the north of Guilin, including Wangsi Mountain, Yuyue Mountain, Mingyue Mountain and Xianhe Mountain. Because of the mountains and rocks, such as colorful silks and brocade, it is named Guishan, because there are many osmanthus trees in Gu Shan, and because there is a hole in the mountain with four distinct seasons, it is also called amorous feelings cave mountain. There is a Gudeng mountain road at the southern foot of the mountain, and you can reach Diecai Pavilion by climbing dozens of steps. The mountain to the east of the pavilion is Yueyue Mountain, and the top of the pavilion is Yueyue Pavilion. Looking at the rocks of Yuemingfeng from the pavilion, you can see colorful layers, and you can fully understand the meaning of "colorful". Wang Si is in the west of Diecai Pavilion, Xianhe Peak is in the northwest of Wang Si, and Xianhe Cave runs through the mountainside from east to west. The main peak of Diecai Mountain is Yue Mingfeng. Walking through the colorful doors stacked on the mountainside, you can see "Chengren Monument" and "Yangzhitang". At the end of the Ming Dynasty, ministers Qu Shizhen and Zhang Tongchang were captured in Guilin, leaving their chorus poem "Song of Heroes" after their death. After passing the "Yang Hall", you can feel the breeze blowing from the wind tunnel. The wind tunnel is slightly gourd-shaped, open at the front and back, narrow in the middle, crossing the north and south, and the wind blows gently all year round, so the ancients wrote the beautiful sentence "June clouds lock the hole cold". Passing through the wind tunnel is a colorful building, which is clear and open, easy to watch, and has the reputation of "mountain scenery". When you get out of Diecai Building, walk right along the mountain to Wangjiang Pavilion, and then climb up, you can reach the Yunge Pavilion at Mingyue Peak. This is the Mawangtai site built by Ma Chong, King of Chu in the Five Dynasties. 1963 In the spring, Zhu De and Xu Teli, at the age of 80, strode up the mountain and walked to the Ting Yun Pavilion, and wrote the chorus "Climbing without a cane, taking off your hat and enjoying the east wind" and "Looking up from the Ting Yun Pavilion and drawing water for the spring breeze". Tourists stand in the cloud pavilion, as if they can pick the stars and the moon, and skyscrapers have clouds; Overlooking the Lijiang River and winding south; Overlooking the mountains, beautiful and strange; A close look at the whole city of Guilin gives you a panoramic view, which is the best place for Guilin Range Rover to enjoy the scenery. Diecai Mountain has been a tourist attraction since the Tang Dynasty, and many poems and inscriptions have been left in the past dynasties. Among them, Hui Yuan in Tang Dynasty, Zhu Xiyan in Song Dynasty, Liu Tai in Ming Dynasty and Yuan Mei in Qing Dynasty are the most famous. When Kang Youwei came to Guilin to give lectures in the late Qing Dynasty, he lived in the Jingfeng Pavilion in front of the wind tunnel, leaving inscriptions such as "Kang Yan" and "Su Dong" and calligraphy couplets of "Strive for the virtue of Chongming and love Jingguang at any time". The next year, in order to reform the law, he launched a famous "bus petition" in Beijing. Among the signatory countries of various provinces, Guangxi has the largest number.
Nanxi Mountain is located at Jiangjunqiaotou in the south of the city, about 1 km away from the railway station, so it is named after Nanxi Mountain. It has two peaks in the east and west, side by side, towering above thousands of feet, with cliffs and white rocks in the north. After the rain, it will be fine, and the clouds will disperse at the beginning. When the sun shines on the rocks, it will reflect dazzling brilliance. In ancient times, "Nanxi New Collection" was one of the eight scenic spots in Guilin. There are many strange caves in Nanxi Mountain, and Bailong Cave in the north is the most famous. Its entrance is high and wide, like a tall stone house with white stone walls and a milk hanging like a faucet, so it is called Bailong Cave. There are double lion stones, jade bamboo shoots to welcome the spring, white dragons to spit pearls and other wonders in the cave. Go right out of Bailong Cave and you will come to Xuanyan, a colorful gallery composed of stalactites. This hole divides into two roads. On the right, you can cross Yunyan. The tunnel is short, and clouds often pass through the door. There are many precious stone carvings at the mouth of the cave. The road on the left leads to Guanyin Rock, which is named after a group of stalactites shaped like Guanyin Bodhisattva at the mouth of the cave. From Guanyinyan along a path on the left, you can reach Longji Cave. The cave walls of Longji Cave are strange and magnificent. Now these three caves have been colluded, swimming from the entrance of Bailong Cave to Xuanyan, then Youlong Ridge Cave, and then coming out. Nanxi Mountain is shaped like a huge saddle, and the concave part of the saddle is Longji 'ao. If it breaks down here, it will be high in the east and low in the west, much like Longji. There is a fairy-seeking rock on the mountainside on the south side of Longji 'ao, and the cave is full of stone carvings since the Song and Ming Dynasties. Out of Liu Xianyan, you can reach a snail with a small top and a big bottom, hence the name Snail Cave. Nanxi Mountain has been built into a park, with lush bamboo forests and lush pines and cypresses. There is a spring in the south of Nanxi Bridge, named Bailongquan. The spring water is clear, which was once a tribute of the emperor in ancient times, so it is also called Gongquan. Now there is a drinking fountain teahouse for tourists to drink tea and rest.
Yaoshan is located in the eastern suburb of the city, named after the legend that Yao Di Temple was built here during the Qin Dynasty. It used to be an island in the ancient sea of Guilin, and it was also the only earth mountain in Guilin. The mountains here are undulating and magnificent, with an altitude of 909 meters, which is the highest point in Guilin. The mountains are green, pines and cypresses. In spring, azaleas are in full bloom, competing with each other, and bonuses are everywhere. In winter, there is snow in the mountains, and there is a vast sea of silver, which is quite northern. Therefore, "Yaoshan Winter Snow" has become a landscape in Guilin. Yan Zhen, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, praised: "The north wind came from the east and blew away the snow;" Sprinkle on the top of the mountain, the most amazing. "Yaoshan is not only beautiful, but also rich in historical sites. The most famous are Jingjiang Mausoleum in Ming Dynasty and the tomb of Zhang Tongchang, an anti-Qing hero.
Jingjiang Mausoleum, located at the southern foot of Yaoshan Mountain, is the graveyard of Shouqian, Wang Zhu of Jingjiang, the great grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of Ming Dynasty, and his descendants. Except the first generation of Jingjiang kings Zhu Shoulian, Zhu Hengjia and Zhu, the other eleven Jingjiang kings were buried here. Within 65,438+000 square kilometers of Fiona Fang, there are more than 300 tombs of kings, concubines and royal families, which are relatively well-preserved tombs of the Ming Dynasty in China. Every king's grave has two walls. Inside and outside, the earth is huge. There is a hall and a pavilion in front of the tomb. There are tall stone statues, China watches, tigers, lions, sheep, elephants, unicorns and other stone animals on both sides, which are beautifully carved, simple and profound, and worth watching. Visitors can focus on visiting the tombs of Zhu, the third generation Wang and Wang Hao. Climbing to the top of the tomb overlooks the whole cemetery. Pine and cypress complement each other with the red wall Zhu Dian, which is very spectacular.
Du Xiufeng, located in the ancient city center, was named after the poem "If you are not alone, you are in a city" written by Yan Yanzhi, a poet in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It stands tall, steep and majestic, and is known as the "Southern Tianzhu", which ranks alongside Diecai Mountain and Fubo Mountain in the city. From the front, Du Xiufeng is dignified and dignified; Seen from the side, it is steep and beautiful. In the morning and sunset, it seems to be the king with purple robe and gold belt, so it is also called Purple Mountain. On the west side of the foot of the mountain, there is a winding road with a grade of ***306, which goes straight to the peak. The mountain road turned into a scene of Leshan, exploring the wonders of the clouds, and there were inscriptions such as "spiral through the clouds" and "Kunlun Tianzhu Li". Seen from the top of the mountain, the whole city is beautiful and panoramic. Although Du Xiufeng is independent, there are many strange caves. One of the most famous is the Redding Rock at the east foot, which is like a stone room with natural stone windows and beds. When Yan Yanzhi was a magistrate in Guilin, the government was east of Duxiufeng, so he often came here to study. There is also a cave called Taiping Rock at the foot of Xishan Mountain. There is a spring at the northern foot of the mountain, which is called "Li Anquan" or "Duxiu". King Jingjiang of Ming Dynasty carved the ground into a pool because of spring water, which looks like a crescent moon, also known as the crescent moon pool. Duxiufeng is a famous scenic spot in ancient Guilin, and it is called "Duxiufeng". Yuan Mei, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem praising: "There is no context at all, and suddenly a peak is in the south. Guilin has a peculiar mountain shape, and the unique Xiufeng is the first. "
Putuo Mountain is located in the center of Qixing Mountain Park and consists of four peaks, namely Shu Tian, Tian Xuan, Tianji and Tian Quan, in the northwest of Qixing Mountain. Because there is Dongting Lake on the mountain to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, it is called Putuo Mountain according to Buddhist custom. There is a yuan wind tunnel at the foot of the Western Mountain. It is hot in midsummer, but there is a cool breeze blowing gently here. Therefore, Yu An, a poet of the Ming Dynasty, wrote a poem praising: "The deep hole penetrates the shady cliff, and the cold wind is endless. The hanging spring stone hangs down and the hot moon blows into snow. " Not far from here, go northbound along Guihua Avenue, which is Putuo Gate. On the right side of the gate, there is a pavilion with two stone tablets standing upright. The book Xiaoyao Building was written by Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. On the back of the stone tablet is Li Yanbi's "The Story of Southern Hunan Building" in the Song Dynasty, and on the other side is Yu Bao's "Rebuilding the Monument of Guangxi Provincial Capital" in the Ming Dynasty. Go up the hill from Putuomen, enter the "ultra-dusty quiet zone" on the left, and pass through Cuiting and Xiaopenglai Promenade, and you will arrive at Putuo Stone Forest. Here, the rocks are towering and the bones are rugged. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, sent Li Jing here to fetch Ruishi, returned to Chang 'an, and engraved Ou Yangxun's "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming". Li Jing once built a forest viewing landscape here. According to legend, the word "viewing the forest" was inscribed by Emperor Taizong himself. There is a Putuo Building beside the mountain, overlooking the scenery of Guilin, and there is Guanyin Cave behind the building, which is a place to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva. Next to Putuo Building is Putuo Rock, but the left wall of the rock is engraved with the seal script "Bixu Rock". This is a misprint by Pan Changjing, a Taoist priest in the Ming Dynasty. Bixu Rock is said to be a Seven-Star Rock, which should be at the mouth of Seven-Star Rock, but it was wrongly carved here because Taoist Pan was deaf and could not hear clearly. Through Putuo Rock, climb the Xuanwu Pavilion. There is a relief of "tortoise and snake in one" between the cliffs outside the left window of the pavilion. There is a star-picking pavilion on the skyline peak of Mount Putuo. Looking around the pavilion, we can see the magnificent scenery of Liu Kezhuang, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, who wrote "A thousand peaks stand in the wild and a stream holds the city".
"Hump" is the abbreviation of Camel Mountain, named after it looks like a camel squatting on the ground, and named after it looks like an ancient hip flask. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Lei Mingchun, a famous man in the south of the Yangtze River, fled the war and lived in seclusion here, planting peach blossoms and writing books. He is a good drinker. When he is drunk, he screams and calls himself a "drinker". After his death, he was buried at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain was engraved with the "tomb of Lei Jiuren". Every spring, peach blossoms are everywhere, as if to cover Camel Mountain with a layer of red glow, and the scenery is beautiful, so the ancients called it "Tiger Mountain Hongxia", that is, Hump Hongxia. This is one of the sixteen scenic spots in Guilin. When tourists come here, they must take photos with them and enjoy themselves. Behind Mount Putuo, there are zoos, bonsai fields, flower beds and tea rooms on both sides.
Guangming Mountain in the northwest suburb of Guilin is not surprising in appearance. There is a hole on the hillside south of it, and reeds that can be made into flutes grow on both sides. Locals call it reed flute cave. This is a magnificent cave with a history of more than 600,000 years. There are a large number of stalagmites, stone pillars, stone curtains and stone flowers in the cave, forming a variety of beautiful scenery, such as the sunrise of the Ten Tombs, the stone milk tent, the virgin forest, the Range Rover of Yuntai, the Panlong Tower, the Yunshan outside the curtain, the distant mountain city and the listening flute. It is known as the "palace of natural art". Its hole is 240 meters deep and has traveled about 500 meters due to twists and turns. Deng Tuo, a famous writer, wrote after visiting reed flute cave Cave on 1962: "At first glance, this cave is short and small, which seems to be an ordinary cave. But as soon as I entered the cave, my impression changed immediately. The dazzling red, green, yellow and white stalactites constitute the wonders of this mythical world. The whole cave is divided into two parts, which can also be called front hole and back hole. The front cave is a group of deep and large caves connected by horseshoe-shaped channels; The back hole is a wide and deep rock. There is a pool at the junction of the front and rear holes, which divides the hole into two parts, and the middle is blocked by rocks, which needs some repairs to pass smoothly. Stalactites in reed flute cave are particularly bright and delicate, dazzling, colorful and gorgeous everywhere. Red as coral, green as jade, yellow as amber and white as jade. The whole abode of fairies and immortals seems to be made of precious stones, pearls, corals, ivory, silks and satins and powder, just like the legendary Fairy Palace in Yuen Long. ..... I seem to have really had a beautiful dream myself, and I will never forget the charming scenery of this mythical world. " Reed flute cave was visited more than 65,438+0,000 years ago. Up to now, there are still 77 wall books in the cave since the Tang and Song Dynasties, most of which are written in pen and ink, and the handwriting is still recognizable. After the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, this cave became a refuge for local people, and the entrance was blocked, which was little known. When Xu Xiake, a geographer, visited Guilin in the late Ming Dynasty, he visited caves and places of interest in the east of Guilin, but he did not set foot in the northwest of Guilin. It was not until 1959 that reed flute cave was developed by the government and officially opened to tourists in 1962. It became a famous scenic spot in Guilin and was known as "reed flute cave Fairy Palace".
