XU A YI

Aunt Xu Dessert, is this a very famous local dessert shop? It is located in the city of Guilin. There is also a Haitian Rice Noodle Roll Shop nearby, and the prices are very affordable. The dessert corn and green bean paste are both icy and more delicious. Don't miss it if you pass by.

Aunt Xu's dessert shop in Guilin, please be sure to avoid it if you can avoid holidays, otherwise you will have to wait in line for a long time and it will be so hot that you will not even have a place to sit and eat. There are only a few seats and only two aunties are busy. They are already very fast and you cannot rush them.

If I hadn't read the introduction of many netizens, I wouldn't have been able to find this internet celebrity store, and there was no one outside when I went there. After entering the community, remember to turn left at the first row, and you will see Figure 5, just go in. The auntie (actually a grandma) selling sugar water is inside. I wanted to eat sesame paste, but it was not available in this season, so I had a cup of corn and a cup of mung bean paste, which seemed to cost 8 dollars. My memory has been getting worse recently. The corn tasted delicious at the first bite, with fruit corn kernels and icy sugar water. It was very refreshing to eat in Guilin at 38° at noon a few days ago. When I bought the mung bean paste, I was told that it was not too cold, so I bought it anyway. The taste was ordinary. If I have the opportunity to go to Guilin again, I will choose other varieties to try.

Aunt Xu’s food is of high quality and low price, and made with genuine ingredients.

Who understands, folks! Waiting until the lights come on at Guilin's Shanhu Lake, I finally understood the romance of "the river like a green ribbon"—the 41-meter golden pagoda shimmers with warm light, the 35-meter silver pagoda glows with a clear radiance, their symmetrical reflections on the lake's surface a perfect replica of the fairyland described in Li Bai's poem, "The sun and moon shine on the golden and silver terraces" ✨ 📝 Must-see core information (local's take note): - Admission: Free for viewing from the shore! Climbing the pagoda: 35 yuan per person / 56 yuan per couple (Local honesty: No need to climb the pagoda, photos from outside are much better). - Hours: Lights on from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM, best viewing time is 20 minutes after the lights come on (before it gets completely dark, the sunset and lights are breathtaking). - Transportation: The city center is very small! I recommend taking a shared bike (more flexible than a taxi). It's a 20-minute ride from Gate 3 of Elephant Trunk Hill, and you can stop anytime along the way to take photos of the night view. - Warning: Don't spend 210 yuan on a boat tour! The view from the boat is fixed and it's crowded. Walking along the lake is the real experience. If you get tired, find a lakeside cafe to rest. 📸 3 Great Photo Spots | Secrets to Getting Lots of Likes on Social Media 1. Zhiyintai Wharf Waterfront Platform (Stunning Reflections) Walk down the steps of Zhiyintai Wharf, and you'll find a super hidden waterfront platform where you can capture the symmetrical reflections of the twin towers! Bring a phone tripod, use slow shutter speed to shoot the shimmering water, and the silvery ribbon-like light and shadow are absolutely stunning! The video I took here last week went viral on social media. 2. Lakeside Cafe Viewpoint (Exclusive Perspective) Find a lakeside cafe, order a 20 yuan Osmanthus Latte, and you can unlock your own private viewpoint! Using the rule of thirds for portrait photography: Position the subject along the right third line, frame the twin towers and their head within the lens, and have them turn to look at the scenery or smile back. Even the straight-out-of-camera image will be stunning. 3. Next to the Ronghu Glass Bridge (atmosphere is amazing!) Those who came on Friday made a killing! Every Friday there's a rainbow light show. Stand by the glass bridge and take photos; the lights shine through the arches onto the water, with willow branches in the foreground—the ancient Chinese atmosphere is instantly captivating! (Even Zhang Yimou's team has camped out here!) 🚶‍♀️ Immersive Night Tour Route (3 hours to explore the highlights) 1. 18:30 Elephant Trunk Hill Warm-up: Enter Elephant Trunk Hill through Gate 3 (advance reservation via WeChat is free). On the left side of the river, take a bamboo raft for 10 yuan to photograph the "Elephant Drinking Water" reflection. Wearing light-colored clothing will result in better photos. 2. 19:10 Twin Towers Core Area: Ride a shared bike to Shanhu Lake. First, take panoramic photos from the shore, then go to Zhiyin Terrace to photograph the reflection. Remember to use flash for portrait photography (to avoid a bright background and dark faces). 3. 20:00 Surrounding Stroll: Walk along the lake to Beidou Bridge, watch the light spots created by the bridge arches, and stroll to the Ancient South Gate, listening to excerpts of Gui opera drifting from the roadside – the atmosphere is simply divine. 4. 20:30 Finale: Head towards Dongxi Lane, climb Xiaoyao Tower for a panoramic view of the Two Rivers and Four Lakes. The golden tower and twin pagodas echo each other, creating a stunning night view. 🍜 Culinary Delights After the Night Tour (Local Secrets) - Tonglai Rice Noodles: A late-night eatery in Tongquan Lane, still open at 1 AM! Local way of eating: First, mix dry with pickled bamboo shoots, then add bone broth to make soup noodles. Served with a hot glutinous rice cake, it's absolutely delicious! - Chunji Roast Goose: Stop by Binjiang Road for a bite. The roast goose skin is crispy and the meat is tender. Pair it with a bowl of Guilin rice noodles for a late-night snack – the joy of carbs is indescribable! - Aunt Xu's Dessert Shop: A hidden gem next to Lequn Market. The corn syrup is sweet and refreshing, perfect for a relaxing drink after a long day of shopping. 💡 Local Tips & Avoidance: 1. Don't believe the touts offering "best photo spots for 10 yuan" at the scenic area entrance! They'll just take you to a tree where the branches obscure your face, resulting in unusable photos. 2. Guilin weather is unpredictable, so carry a folding umbrella! Rainy days create ripples in the reflection of the Twin Towers, giving it a unique ink-wash painting effect. 3. Wear light-colored clothing! White and beige hues look incredibly gentle under the golden and silver lights, while darker colors blend easily into the night. Feeling the evening breeze from the Two Rivers and Four Lakes, watching the golden and silver twin pagodas shimmering on the lake's surface, even your breathing slows down—this is the right way to experience Guilin at night!
