Early winter the elderly - My Guilin Tour

early infirm - My Guilin Tour

Guilin (including Yangshuo, the following omitted), the United States甲天下landscapes, travel notes countless, I only intend to provide two Point of information: the possibility of early season tour? How frail? - Not concerned about those who do not have to read.
Because my daughter has a few days vacation, it is necessary to take us old married couple a visit Guilin. While we yearn for Lijiang scenery for a long time, but out of this season has been concern, especially in recent days of poor physical strength. However, can not bear to live up to his daughter盛意, and finally in 2007, November 27-30 carried out the trip. Experience to talk about two points are highlighted below:

one, not suitable for early winter season?

called "Winter" is based on the Lunar Lidongben is November 7, the season of course, can be said that the early winter. Southland and Northland does not take the great distinction.

1. Guilin
boat tour is focused on the Li River. What will happen to the dry winter? In fact, according to tour guide said that is not only a winter low-flow problems, in recent months did not rain. However, recognized the best section of Lijiang:杨堤to兴坪, you can sail as usual. We take the bamboo raft,杨堤has arrived from兴坪(out of which lasted about four hours, more will also have a '审美疲劳' a). Middle at a place called 'Middle Kingdom' the place down the shore to eat, see the big cruise ships have stopped at this, they finish in this就往return of rice. Although from the Middle Kingdom to paragraph兴坪, landscape largely similar, but the famous' nine horse painting Mountain 'and 20 yuan on the background, large cruise ships are less than a watch.
To spend, the cruise ship about 200 yuan per person per ticket. Our total of 100 bamboo rafts, but in each杨堤buy 16 tickets, half-way would also like to pass by one to dock pay "to buy Road (River) money" - 30 yuan per boat. In addition, from Guilin to杨堤terminals of buses and light buses, each flower about ten Laiyuan. Cruises may also管饭even接客派车.
算下来, three individuals by bamboo raft or cheaper economically, the most important tours of the river is long, and that a person sitting in rafts, the暖阳shining, breeze blowing, face the landscape, taking pictures, viewing, I thought better than the cruise ship. (See attached diagram comparing 1,2,3)

2. Vegetation
just off the plane and saw the roadside vegetation, appears to be little green. Nor do we think that those who are accustomed to look everywhere to play, or everywhere Castle Peak, green everywhere. Not green, it seems not because of winter, but drier.
3. Temperature
the past few days, the maximum temperature of 20 degrees. It can be said that neither the scorching sun, no wind Lie Lie. However, a larger temperature difference, due to heat island effect in Guilin at about 13 degrees outside (such as Yangshuo) has 18 degrees.
Therefore, a clothing mainly to Autumn. Day temperatures of up to 22 degrees at noon, in Yangshuo, see the two foreigners to wear short-sleeved T shirt, one middle-aged and older also wearing shorts.
But I have to make is, in Yangshuo银子岩, because caves冬暖夏凉wearing clothes outside to walk around one novel about a very uncomfortable feeling hot.

------------------------

In short, this time for us or good in terms of age. According to tour guide said that until the winter there are great people to swim.

II play whether frail elderly?

here say is the main physical ability to support, does not include such a heart may be a dangerous situation.

1. Trip more lenient
27 Day morning by plane from Shanghai to Guilin. Check hotel that afternoon. Afternoon free in Guilin Tour.
28 on the morning of departure to杨堤, by bamboo raft to兴坪from兴坪by minibus to Yangshuo, about 4:30 or occupancy hotel to rest.
29 day tour morning银子岩cave. About 11 o'clock that end. Mountain near the moon at noon to eat rice farmers. Afternoon swim near the large banyan, Third Sister Liu and other water sports arena.
30 day rafting遇龙河morning. 10:00 on the end. Free the rest of the time. 15:30 left to Guilin by night返沪aircraft.

trip more than a day, only one of the major activities, many of which are half-time. Therefore, to ensure that the elderly rest. For example, to银子岩is the most tired, and after having a meal at noon I shall return to the hotel to rest, his wife did not cave into the afternoon, she and her daughter, etc. to large banyan.

2. Tourist spots are numerous, but the location of a higher concentration in the furthest
Run a certain distance from Guilin to Yangshuo, about more than one hundred kilometers, the bus left about 100 minutes (including up and down the road people). The scenic spots in Guilin, mostly in urban areas, and this is the result of karst geological features bar, flat suddenly out of a small hill, so, or by public transport or by letting the foot of the mountain can be direct, are not far to walk. And Yangshuo, this is a small county, in particular its focus on the best of several hundred square meters of range. For example, we live in Lijing holiday inn, on the county roads and intersections on West Street. From Bus Terminal, about 200 meters, the entire West is probably not more than 300 meters. Inclined to cross the road is to银子岩car.
3. Very well-developed means of transport to Lijiang Tour
example, the hotel by taxi to the train station (starting price of 7 yuan), the railway station the bus has to Yangshuo, about 10 yuan to拐向杨堤way side down, in conjunction with the tour to Yangshuo杨堤multiplied by 2.5 yuan to the minibus杨堤embarkation. Ship to兴坪under dry land by water from Hing Township Office, there are short distance (just in this 20 yuan according to the background photo), 2 yuan to take minibus兴坪town, and then by the CMB to Yangshuo 5.5 million. Yangshuo
short-range access tools are available. Can take a large, medium and light buses, motorcycles, Yangshuo City also ReBAM of battery vehicles, can be its own package of minibuses, waving to the middle of a ride, but also rent bicycles, this last a very convenient and a lot of attractions are , there are two type. The most tired of银子岩also have chair, 250.
As for traffic, we passed the location, except to遇龙河to have three or four hundred meters of river sand road, other road is very flat, even if that sand road, because the road is very short and the car slowly, I That fear of bumpy ride do not think what his wife.

--------------------

In short, apart from in the cave where银子岩go hot and tired,腿酸for a long time (not to银子岩, there are many other cave, but went银子岩can be said from this' does not look rock ', especially peculiar is its reflection (see Figure 4 ); others simply will not start to feel the place. As long as a train station or airport has come out of the effort, would not have to worry about tourism. As for mountain climbing, only in Guilin to have叠彩Hill climbing activities, but I just climbed a small peaks, looked a little on this side of the scenery. I have been to travel over the past few years, the need to balance this place the most effort.

Incidentally, to see some travel or Raiders recommend him (her) to hire tour guides, I do not know its a good guide to how to a good law, we employed this tour I think that she is very proper arrangements, but also take the initiative to help me back pack, but also there are no other questions (for example, recommend What kind of shopping), which meet our request. surname Nguyen, cell phone number is 13877375136
