Guilin Guide | This Super 5A "Divine Combo" Route in the City Center is Outstanding!
"Winter is too cold to go out"
has become a mental obsession for many.
The Guilin winter you never imagined
might be a brilliant sunshine,
might be a misty romance;
or might be a escape from worldly noise,
a tranquil and silent stillness.
Of course, if you come to Guilin,
you must first check in the emblem of this city,
then freely explore the fusion of culture and landscape.
Only after experiencing these does the journey feel complete.
Recently, a "divine combo" travel route in Guilin's city center has become popular:
the classic combination of Elephant Trunk Hill, Fubo Hill, Diecai Hill, and Two Rivers and Four Lakes.
Running from daytime to nighttime tours,
it has left countless visitors enchanted by Guilin's stunning landscapes!
Divine Combo: Elephant Trunk Hill
Elephant Trunk Hill is renowned both at home and abroad.
It is the city emblem of Guilin and the venue for the Spring Festival Gala.
It is an internet-famous spot and a must-visit destination.
Come to Guilin, without a "been there" experience,
you cannot truly say you have visited Guilin.
Elephant Trunk Hill is regarded as the symbol of Guilin's landscape.
For domestic and international tourists visiting Guilin,
checking in at Elephant Trunk Hill is an enduring wish.
Composed of limestone deposited on the seabed 300 million years ago,
it is rich in historical legends and adds a layer of mystery.
Climb Elephant Trunk Hill and see its steep cliffs and ancient rocks,
along with lush greenery and river waters,
and the bustling streets and pedestrians along the bank.
That visual feast, both ethereal and real,
makes you feel as if you've transcended time, immersed in two worlds of scenery.
Divine Combo: Fubo Hill
On the west bank of the Li River, encounter a earthly paradise.
The rugged Fubo Hill
is filled with countless historical sites and legends from various dynasties.
General Fubo has guarded here for millennia.
"By Fubo Hill boats are moored by the river; the horn and bell break through the dawn mist.
Countless green mountains emerge from the water; in midstream night rain carries a hanging sail."
This fully captures the "Fubo Scenic Realm"!
After feasting your eyes on the poetic landscape of Guilin,
a visit to Fubo Hill
to feel the heroic spirit of the general amidst mountains and rivers
is a different experience altogether.
Moreover, it is an urban forest attraction integrating mountain, water, cave, stone, courtyard,
and cultural relics.
Compared with the poetic Suzhou gardens, it possesses more ruggedness.
Inside the Returning Pearl Cave, there are hundreds of stone carvings from the late Tang Dynasty,
rich in historical, religious, literary, and artistic value.
Over a hundred cliff inscriptions span the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, and Republic of China periods—
a rare comprehensive historical and cultural showcase!
Ascending Fubo Hill,
gazing at the mountains and reflecting on history, your horizons broaden and your mind and body are intoxicated.
It stands solitary and majestic, embracing the river to the east,
with its unique integration of human and natural landscapes,
making it a microcosm of Guilin's scenery.
One of the unmissable spots for an in-depth tour of Guilin!
Divine Combo: Diecai Hill
Regarding Diecai Hill, there is a description:
facing green hills on all sides, a gentle breeze on one side, an earthly marvel.
Every peak and every hill here
is an unparalleled painting of mountain and water interdependence.
Diecai Hill is a national key cultural relic protection unit
and a favorite place of many historical literati.
Kang Youwei, a key figure in the Hundred Days' Reform,
and the patriotic elder Ma Xiangbo once lived here successively.
Anyone who comes to Diecai Hill
dreams of ascending Moon Bright Peak.
It clings to the Li River, soaring into the clouds with steep cliffs.
Climb Diecai Hill to the Nanyun Pavilion for a panoramic view of Guilin
and instantly feel a sense of "taking in everything at a glance."
The crystal-clear Li River, like a green silk belt,
winds and lingers among the green peaks and forests.
From the summit, your eyes are filled with mountains and waters merging, water and sky one color.
Look down, and a single leaf of a boat
sends you into a brocade landscape.
Every year on the first day of the lunar year, the people of Guilin
have the custom of climbing Diecai Hill.
"Reach the top of Diecai Hill and live to be over a hundred."
This is the love the Guilin people have for this mountain,
and also a wish for a better life.
It is a famous mountain in Guilin, a blessed mountain!
Moreover, it houses thousands of butterfly specimens from around the world,
and dozens of animal specimens,
suitable for education and viewing—truly not to be missed!
Divine Combo: Night Cruise on Two Rivers and Four Lakes
Here, the mountains are magical, complementing the lake waters,
showing off their dark, soft curves gracefully at night.
Here, the water is clear and lovely, like emerald green swaying gently.
Accompanied by the soft, colorful lights on the shore, it sings a night song.
Here, the mountains and waters are thick and boundless, nurturing all things around,
and also tell stories of history and culture, tranquil and elegant.
