Guilin Rongshanhu Scenic Area

Guilin is a nice change from big cities like Shanghai, Bejing or Guangzhou, as it is much smaller and therefore easier to explore. The scenic area is basically a river-system running within the city, connecting some broader parts that the Chinese call lakes. Tours are offered and due to the inexplicable addiction of the Chinese to LEDs and blinking lights, the night tour is much more popular than the one during the day. As on every tour done, the "guides" are literally talking all the time, so prepare for 70' of Chinese loudspeaker bombardment when going on a tour, sometimes even including singing by the guides. Also to be noticed: starting point of the tour might not necessarily be the end point, so be aware.

The park is beautiful especially at night where there are so many colors of light. But somehow the road and surrounding area here is quite dark and quiet at night. So make sure to be extra careful. There is a community singing and playing music instruments.

We took a boat ride near this area and pretty cool scenery. Didn't get a chance to get out and check out the temples but the drive by was beautiful!

It's a very nice lake with the two pagoda where we call it 日夜pagoda. Very clean and well kept place.

Beautiful city, be sure to do the cruise on the lake 👌

Ok trip. Entertained by night lights with great explanation from 2river4lake cruises. We took both day and night, slightly different route. Night ones more extensive but a little more costly

We walked here using gaode map , at night we took the night cruise around the lake and river , it’s nice to see the scenery through rivers and lakes .

A must go place if youre in guilin. Very good scenery and you can also take a night cruise
