Guilin Sun and Moon Pagodas|Step into a Stunning Nightscape Masterpiece, Absolutely Breathtaking!

Sisters! Visiting Guilin without seeing the Sun and Moon Pagodas is like not visiting at all! When night falls and the lights turn on, I was literally speechless from the beauty! 🌃 ✨ Golden Pagoda + Silver Pagoda, the Dreamy Duo! Sun Pagoda (Golden Pagoda): Entirely made of brass! The tallest copper pagoda in the world! From the top, you’ll get a panoramic view of the Two Rivers and Four Lakes nightscape—utterly awe-inspiring! Standing inside the copper pagoda, touching the cool metal walls, you’ll feel the weight of centuries. As the elevator slowly ascends, the glittering city of Guilin unfolds beneath your feet—worth every penny! 📸 Moon Pagoda (Silver Pagoda): A delicate glazed pagoda that glows like a moonlit fairy when illuminated at night! Its reflection pairs perfectly with the Golden Pagoda on the water—a photographer’s dream! Especially from the opposite shore, the golden and silver pagodas nestle against the emerald waves of Shanhu Lake, creating wallpaper-worthy shots! ✨ 🌉 Underwater Tunnel, a Journey Through Time! There’s an epic underwater tunnel connecting the two pagodas! Walking through the glass passage, with fish swimming overhead and lights shimmering in the water, feels like stepping into a dragon’s palace! The design is genius! But heads-up: looking down at the water through the glass bridge might make you dizzy—hold onto the railing if you’re afraid of heights! 📸 Best Photo Spots Revealed! East Shore of Shanhu Lake (near Zhiyin Pier): The classic front-facing angle captures the pagodas’ full reflections! 🌙 Sun-Moon Bay Pier: A slightly angled shot frames the pagodas with boats for a more storytelling vibe! 🚢 Top of the Sun Pagoda: Overlook the dazzling nightscape of Two Rivers and Four Lakes—unbeatable views! (Ticket required) 💰 Stroll along the lake: Even a silhouette under a streetlight oozes atmosphere! A breezy evening walk by the lake, with dappled light and shadows, is pure romance! 🍜 Tips for Food & Fun: ⏰ Best Time: Must visit at night! Lights are usually on from 19:00-22:00 (varies by season). At dusk, the deep blue sky contrasts with the pagodas’ warm glow—absolutely mesmerizing! 🎫 Pagoda Tickets: Sun Pagoda costs ¥35/person (includes the underwater tunnel). The Moon Pagoda usually isn’t open for climbing. Climbing the Sun Pagoda is totally worth it—the view framed by its copper windows adds layers you can’t get from the ground! 🚶 Transportation: Right in the city center! Navigate to "Sun and Moon Pagodas Cultural Park" or "Shanhu Zhiyin Pier"—easy to reach on foot or by taxi. After the pagodas, stroll to Zhengyang Pedestrian Street or East-West Alley for more exploring! 😋 Nearby Eats: Just a few minutes’ walk from the nightscape, head to Zhengyang Pedestrian Street! Try authentic Guilin rice noodles 🍜 (Lao Dongjiang Rice Noodles flagship store is legendary!) or beer fish (Master Gold Award Beer Fish has multiple branches and consistent flavor)! Honest take: The Sun and Moon Pagodas’ nightscape is Guilin’s #1 romantic spot in my heart! 💕 A jaw-dropping view that’s free—perfect for couples, friends, or solo reflection!
