Meeting Mountains and Waters by the Li River: Day 1
It is said that Guilin's landscapes are the finest under heaven, and Yangshuo's are even better—the poetry and distant shores of life.
Now the distance is not far; a two-hour high-speed train ride can bring you to this poetry and distant shores.
No matter how many times I have visited Guilin, it always offers new surprises.
Sanqianli Scenic Area is only 6 kilometers from Yangshuo Station, making it very convenient to get there by taxi. The scenic area also provides a free shuttle service, which is very handy. Sanqianli is a comprehensive resort that integrates dining, accommodation, transportation, sightseeing, shopping, and entertainment all in one. If you don't have a long vacation to visit various attractions and just want a happy vacation, Sanqianli is definitely a super suitable resort.
The entrance building of the scenic area is quite distinctive. The wooden-style visitor center is simple and grand, with a high roof ridge. The chandeliers in the lobby resemble oil-paper umbrellas, and the wooden decor always gives a warm feeling.
There are bamboo-woven decorations in the lobby. Just as embroidery reminds one of Jiangnan, bamboo weaving evokes the countryside, the fisherman catching fish, the children under the tree, instantly returning to simplicity.
Sanqianli Scenic Area has several distinctive hotels. One of them is Yujia'ao (Fisherman's Pride), along with Huajianji (Among Flowers) themed with flowers, Tianwenjin (Heavenly Pattern Brocade) themed with Zhuang brocade, and Riverside Boat Houses themed with fishing boats.
Yujia'ao is themed around the fishing fire culture of the Li River. Cormorant fishing has been passed down for thousands of years and is a unique fishing culture along the Li River. The Yujia'ao theme uses bamboo rafts and bamboo baskets in its decor, creating a sense of traveling through a hundred years in the interplay of light and shadow.
Bamboo baskets serve as lamps, and small boats are used as bases for flower pots in the courtyard, constantly reminding one of the fishing fires by the Li River.
The door signs are also ingeniously designed, reminiscent of fishing boats and nets.
In summer, the waters of Sanqianli Scenic Area are clear, the sky is blue, and the mountains are so close, so close, as if you can embrace the beautiful landscape just by reaching out.
Along the river, there is a long walkway. Walking here in the early morning, evening, or at night is quite enjoyable.
The scenic area offers kayaking activities, allowing you to truly embrace Guilin's mountains and waters.
If you want some excitement, you can have a water battle with friends, using water ladles and water guns as playful "weapons" (but remember not to use paddles to "fight").
If you want thrills, you can race with friends to see who can row the fastest or farthest.
If you prefer tranquility, you can paddle slowly and drift on the water, letting your mind wander freely.
The food in Sanqianli Scenic Area is not spectacular, but the experience is excellent. There is a new media sensory restaurant, a music dining bar, an outdoor dining area with mountain and water views, and a Guilin rice noodle culture center where you can make your own. There are many food options and varieties.
At night, Sanqianli presents a landscape-themed performance—"Three Lives Three Worlds Sanqianli." The story follows the three reincarnations of a young fisherman's girl and a magical fish, telling a love story set in the landscape of Sanqianli. More importantly, it's about the atmosphere. Visitors sit by the riverbank and watch the performers on the water; this kind of live landscape performance is all about the ambiance.
In addition to the typical Guilin landscape, Sanqianli has many interesting activities. The scenic area is not very large, but it is full of fun things to do. It is very suitable for a weekend vacation. Without having to rush between attractions, you can play one activity after another within the resort, making the time feel fulfilling.
