- Josiah CLos Angeles, CA7 contributionsI’ve traveled to 78 different countries, and this was one of the most amazing vistas I have ever seen. Probably in my top 5 coolest places on earth.

- Wolfgang HCanton of Zurich, Switzerland3 contributionsWe watched the Dance Show at Guilin Romance Park and it was really amazing. The visuals were just stunning! I also loved the fact that the show really takes advantage of the whole arena, at times you end up turning around or looking up for some of the experiences. Highly recommend!Written 30 November 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JayZee33Toronto, Canada232 contributionsVery difficult climb in the heat. Humid and hot. All shaded climbing, but very humid of course. One lovely local farm lady who was 65 made the climb with our family, fanning us at times, and giviing us correct estimations on timelines up the hill. She offered cold drinks at the top of the hill for reasonable prices. After a solid hike we were happy to support her efforts and camaraderie. Fantastic views at the top...just behind the moon. Worth it...but be prepared for the hike. My 6 year old loved it...saw it as a challenge. You can do it!Written 21 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- JonasCNSingapore, Singapore4,051 contributionsThe Silver Cave is the largest karst cave in Guilin. The cave requires a bit of imagination to enjoy the experience. Before you enter the cave, you will be given an audio electronic recorder and earpiece that will alert you of each landmark when you enter the cave. There are both English and Chinese audio electronic guides. These recorder will be collected at the end of the trail. You will need to pay a fine if you lose it so do take care of it. Once you enter the cave, you will walk past various checkpoints. There is only 1 route so you will not get lost. The whole route is around 1 hour to 1.5 hours depending on your pace and times you stop to take photo. You can factor around 2 hours including the shopping time outside the cave. Each checkpoint will ask you to look up, left or right at a formation. You need a bit of imagination, as the recorder will claim that the structure is the shape of a religious monument, mythical being or an animal. To enjoy the experience, you need to forget you are an adult and visualise it like how a kid will to enjoy the experience. Otherwise you will be bored quickly. Along the way, there are photographers who will take free shots of you that will then be charged if you like to buy the photos later. At the end of the trail, you will also visit a row of shops selling Buddhist symbols, herbs or local Guilin products. There will also be salesmen trying to convince you to buy photos with frames that they will charge a premium for. It is a highly commercial experience but entertaining if you imagine the structures like how a kid will.
One more note is that you need to take good care of your health during winter. I went there in December at 9 degrees in the morning. It is cold outside during winter but warm in the cave. If you take off your jacket during the visit, do put in on before you leave the cave. This is to avoid catching a cold while you loosely dressed and sweating in the cave.Written 18 April 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Try and check several locations around the bridge to take some nice pics. Very nice view from the bridge. Easy to reach with scooter or taxi.Written 9 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- 14raj711 contributionsA small town which can be covered in it's entirety in 1 hour's leisurely walk.
Across the river, settlements of enthusiastic AirBnB and motel developers are cropping up at a rampant pace.
The key things are the spectacular views along the Li River (including the 20 yuan note view), Bamboo boat rides to Nine Horse Hill and possibly the cormorant fishermen.
Walking is enjoyable. Electric ferry cars are a plenty and they don't cost much (you can bargain as they always start with an inflated prices for tourists).Written 6 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We got to the city by a small people ferry. We strolled through the city and enjoyed the beautiful day.Written 10 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kim buay pSingapore, Singapore11,077 contributionsMany people took the bamboo raft ride here as it includes a return ride. The bridge is lovely and this place is very busy. If one starts the bamboo raft ride from Jinlong Bridge slightly further up, the ride is only one way for 1.5 hours and it costs 255 yuan for two people.Written 13 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Enj0yTravelN0wAustin, TX184 contributionsTook a while to find the path - go up concerte steps heading to massage place - keep going up and the turn left into dirt trail (see pics below)
It’s a big of a scramble and not for tourists without the right shoes and cab hike steep slippery terrain - we went day after rain and it was super slick
Well worth the trek - view from top is spectacularWritten 4 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
