What's it like to paddleboarding in Shanglin? Crystal-clear lake water, even more refreshing than a swimming pool!

Come to Shanglin to unlock the budget-friendly version of "Guilin's scenery tops the world"! This hidden paradise in Dalong Lake Scenic Area stocked up my wallpaper gallery for a whole week 🌊 🔍Attraction Highlights: 📍Dalong Lake Scenic Area (Xiyan Town, Shanglin County) It's like the concentrated essence of karst landforms! The lake surface mirrors the mountains like shattered glass - I'd call it "Guilin on Water". The 40-minute boat tour costs only 60 yuan (insane value), best taken at dusk when sunset paints the mountains gold ✨ 💦Must-Do Experiences: 1️⃣ Don't miss the boat tour! Second deck offers unbeatable views 2️⃣ Try the affordable and delicious Zhuang ethnic bamboo tray meal at the entrance 3️⃣ Drone photography requires prior approval (security uncles will watch you with smiles) ⚠️Lessons Learned: · No high heels! It's a 15-min walk on gravel from dock to boat · Bring sunscreen umbrella!! The exposed lake will roast you alive · Hidden photo spot at "Drunken Lake Pavilion" viewpoint - 90% visitors miss it 🍜Food Bonus: On your return, stop at Xiyan Town for "Horse Meat Rice Noodles" (Search: Jiedi Horse Meat Restaurant) - locals swear by this 30-year-old shop with broth so delicious you'll want to swallow your tongue! 🏡Accommodation Tip: 【Lakeside Inn】 inside the scenic area offers picture-perfect views, but book 2 weeks ahead in peak season; budget options available at Xiyan Town's business hotels (20-min taxi to scenic area)
