Two Rivers and Four Lakes (Ring City Waterway)
More than 800 years ago, the Two Rivers and Four Lakes were as busy with boats as they are today, and the riverside residents, just like us now, treated this place as a lovely spot to enjoy the mountains and waters. The difference is that today's dazzling neon along the banks has replaced the red lanterns of the Song era. This ring-shaped waterway includes the Li River, Taohua River, Rong Lake, Shan Lake, Gui Lake and Mulong Lake. The riverside scenery goes without saying, but the most captivating moment of this colourful stretch is at night. Don't worry that darkness will obscure the views; on the contrary, night is when the waterway begins to show its enchanting charm. Whether you float on Dangbo Lake or stroll along the banks, you can enjoy the bewitching night scenery.
Two Rivers and Four Lakes night cruise: ¥210; Four Lakes night cruise (round trip): ¥175; One River and Four Lakes day cruise: ¥90 for adults; tower admission: ¥35 · 1–2 hours
Silver Cave
The stalactites that formed in different geological eras inside Silver Cave pour down like the Milky Way in the night sky, glittering like silver, which is how the cave got its name. Its unusual natural scenery seems almost beyond human craft: colourful stalactite columns, curtains and ‘waterfalls’ form a wonder of karst art. Nature’s handiwork is on full display here, earning the cave the title ‘Wonder of the World’s Karst Caves’. Annual events such as the Lipu Village Flower Festival, the Lipu Taro Food Festival, a bicycle rally and extreme rock climbing add even more colour.

Crown Cave
Crown Cave lies on the east bank of the Li River in Caoping Township. It is a giant underground river cave. The hill above it resembles an ancient purple-gold crown, and the cave beneath gave the site its name. The water cave has been closed off for many years, so its scenery is well preserved. Inside, a remarkable variety of formations, including stalactites, stalagmites, columns, curtains, cloud basins, rim dams, goose-neck tubes, cave pearls, fallen rocks and sky-pots, show off their distinctive beauty.

Gudong Waterfall
The highlight of Gudong Waterfall is that you can put on a raincoat and straw sandals and climb the steep cliff walls, going up against the current. This is a waterfall you can climb, and scrambling up rock through the water is both thrilling and refreshing. The scenic area also has a 62-metre-high suspension bridge, a challenge for the brave.

Solitary Beauty Peak · Prince City Scenic Area
Solitary Beauty Peak, inside Prince City, is an excellent spot for a bird’s-eye view of all of Guilin. Twelve generations of 14 princes lived here. The palace was built when Zhu Shouqian, a grandnephew of Ming founder Zhu Yuanzhang, was enfeoffed as Prince of Jingjiang. It is the best-preserved Ming dynasty princely palace in China. The famous line ‘The landscapes of Guilin are the finest under heaven’ (桂林山水甲天下) comes from a Song dynasty inscription on Solitary Beauty Peak inside the palace.

Reed Flute Cave
Walking into Reed Flute Cave is like drawing back one curtain after another, and with each passage you will feel as though you have stepped into another world. Thousands of rock formations, each with its own character, are magnificent, sacred or eccentric, and a slow stroll will leave you full of wonder. The Crystal Palace is the grandest part of the cave, and its stalactites closely resemble the scene of the Monkey King (孙悟空) raiding the Dragon King’s palace in the East Sea, full of mythological charm. However, the cave shows considerable human alteration and its ticket is relatively expensive, so those who are not keen on such caves may wish to skip it.
