As mostly when we do

As mostly when we do the travel, it is like a protocol that we stay in a hotel and go to touristy places. But this time we decided to turn a stranger to a friend; yea I'm talking about homestay. This house we contacted through a mutual friend and they are more than glad to have us in their house. So we had a warm stay in Guilin village, with lunch & dinner from freshly caught pond fish and other yummies. We had two relaxed days at their place and later on third day went to have a look in the city; also went to the famous elephant nose hill with lot of elephants playing around there 😋 (ofcourse dummies they are). So next time, try something different like a home stay and relax !! #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#lightthecity

🌤️ Guilin: Where Modern Vibes Meet Misty Mountain Magic Guilin is all about jaw-dropping karst landscapes, serene rivers, and a splash of urban style—perfect for soaking up stunning views, feeling at peace, and catching that fresh “nature-chill” energy. You’ll find classic Chinese architecture blending with sleek modern buildings, especially at dusk when city lights set the scene for dreamy photos. Recommended Route: Kick off your day at Elephant Trunk Hill (Xiangbishan): it’s iconic, offers classic river panoramas, and is best explored early in cloudy or rainy weather—the mist adds a mystical touch for your shots. Next, stroll along the Two Rivers and Four Lakes area for an open-air gallery of bridges and pavilions, framed by vibrant autumn trees. As evening falls, drift to Sun and Moon Pagodas for beautiful close-ups—nighttime lighting transforms these towers into Insta-worthy cultural gems! Must-do Activities: Hop on a bamboo raft down the Li River for a gentle, soul-refreshing ride. Wandering downtown, you’ll spot modern architectural wonders near Guilin’s main squares—pause for close-ups, especially as building lights reflect off the rain-slick streets. Top Photo Spots: Elephant Trunk Hill (from the riverside) Sun and Moon Pagodas at dusk/night Fall-colored trees by the lakes (cloudy weather softens the colors!) Unique façade details on modern buildings after sunset Practical Visiting Tips: Bring a light rain jacket or umbrella—Guilin’s fall weather can be unexpectedly wet, adding atmospheric charm but means slippery walkways. Early outings are best for crowd-free chill moments. Most scenic spots stay open until at least 6 PM—plan your pagoda visit just before sunset. Key Precautions: Watch out for slick pathways by the water during rainy weather. Some attractions may close early in heavy rain. #Guilin #NatureChill #ChineseArchitecture #ModernMeetsClassic #TravelVibes
