28 MARCH 2024

After the tour at Shangri-La Park, we boarded the bus for dinner before returning to the hotel to rest because later that night we would be taken for the Night Tour in Guilin.

We stopped at a halal restaurant in Guilin for dinner.

UNIVERSAL HOTEL, GUILIN

We stayed at Universal Hotel, located in Xiufeng District in Guilin. The hotel is close to the boarding point of 2 rivers and 4 lakes. It stands on the Bank of the beautiful Lijiang River. From the window, you can have a panoramic view of the famous scenic spots in Guilin, such as Xiangbi Mountain, Fubo Hill, Duxiu peak etc...

GUILIN NIGHT TOUR

The city of Guilin is built around rivers and lakes that are interconnected. Two Rivers and Four Lakes of Guilin refer to Peach Blossom River and Li River, Mulong Lake, China Fir Lake, Banyan Lake and Osmanthus Lake. 

There are marble bridges and pavilions along the waterways. Witnessing the beauty of Guilin at night is a rare and truly beautiful experience.

Ronghu Lake and Shanhu Lake are located in the middle of the city center and are separated by the Yang Bridge. They connect the Li River and the Peach Blossom River. Once a cultural center during the reign of the Qing Dynasty, they are now tourist attractions in Guilin.

Located in Guilin Lugu Lake Scenic Area, there are four major statues of the late Qing Dynasty in Guangxi. It is worth a visit to understand Guilin's cultural history, and the night view is more beautiful. 

ANCIENT SOUTH CITY GATE

Guilin can not only be proud of its unique Karst Mountain Landscape but also its rich history. 

The Ancient South City Gate (also known as Gu'nanmen) is the southern entrance to the city of Guilin, built during the reign of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). There is a long tunnel hidden behind the gate. In front of the gate, there is a Big Banyan Tree that is thousands of years old.

"The Shadow of the Ancient Banyan Tree" is one of the famous scenic spots since the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

THE SUN AND THE MOON PAGODAS

The Sun and Moon Pagodas are located near Shan Lake. They are also known as the Gold and Silver Pagodas because of their color at night. The Sun Pagoda is the tallest bronze pagoda in the world. 

At a height of 41 meters, the Sun Pagoda has 9 floors, which is 2 floors higher than the Moon Pagoda. The Sun Pagoda is made of bronze, while the Moon Pagoda is made of colored glaze.

After walking for almost an hour, we finally arrived at our destination where our bus was already waiting. We returned to the hotel to rest. The following day, Andalusia Travel and Tours Sdn Bhd has arranged several more tour programs.
