We used shared e-bikes to drive to Xishan scenic area, an AAAA attraction in Guilin. It was extremely foggy but we were almost alone in the entire park which was cool. We climbed all the way up to Xishan peak which was pretty hard work, but we were rewarded with a stunning misty view that made it feel almost otherworldly. It was definitely worth the hike even if we couldnt see much of a view. #newyearadventure

Xishan Scenic Area is located in the western suburbs of Guilin City and consists of Xishan, Yinshan and West Lake. The peaks of Xishan Mountain stretch out continuously. Whenever the sun sets, the waves sparkle in the afterglow of the setting sun. This was called "Xifeng Sunset" in ancient times and is one of the eight old scenic spots in Guilin. Climbing to the top of West Peak, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Guilin, a city of mountains and rivers. It has been a great place for people to climb and enjoy the scenery since ancient times. - We climbed Guanyin Peak in Guilin's Xishan Mountain. The entrance to the mountain is from Xishan Park. The retail price is RMB 65. Climbing difficulty: ⭐⭐ Climbing time: about 30 minutes - Feelings after climbing: Xishan is a group of peaks, including Leipi Mountain, Qianshan Mountain, Xifeng Mountain, Liyu Peak, Zhaomian Mountain, etc. The viewing effect of Guanyin Peak is relatively good and the difficulty is moderate. The whole route is made of steps, which is relatively easy to climb. Some parts are a bit steep, as it is a group of peaks, and there are several entrances to the mountain. On the way, we passed Xifeng Pavilion, the Buddha statue made by Li Shi, etc. It is very comfortable to enjoy the fresh air on the mountain, and you can also hear the class bells and radio exercises at the foot of the mountain. - When going down the mountain, you can also pass by Longtoushan Stone. Look carefully, which angle looks most like a dragon head? Thousands of people look at the mountain, and each has a different feeling. You can try it too.

Guilin Xishan Scenic Area Introduction: Guilin Xishan Scenic Area is located in the center of Guilin City, covering an area of 1.25 million square meters. More than 1,000 years ago during the Tang Dynasty, it became a tourist destination and is the earliest developed tourist area in Guilin. The scenic area consists of the Xishan peaks, West Lake, and Yinshan. Inside, the peaks are surrounded by towering heights, with West Lake and Taohua River reflecting each other, forming a landscape of overlapping mountains and waters. As dusk approaches, the setting sun hangs obliquely on the peaks, with changing clouds and forests, golden light in thousands of paths, and purple mist steaming up, known as the 'Xifeng Sunset Glow' from the famous Old Eight Scenic Spots of Guilin. According to records, there were thirty-six West Lakes under heaven during the Tang Dynasty, with Guilin's West Lake being the largest. The lake water is clear as a mirror, with green mountains reflected in the water; lotus fragrance ripples in the lake, with mist curling up, and a small exquisite mountain, named Yinshan, appears now and then. In the 'Inscription of Yinshan' written by the Qing Dynasty scholar Ruan Yuan, it says: 'One mountain is completely hollow, with six caves interconnecting.' Each of the six caves has its own posture, mostly connected with spring water, forming an underground 'Dragon Palace,' known as the 'most extraordinary place of rock caves in Guangxi.' Guilin Xishan Scenic Area is also the original site of Xiqinglin Temple, the leading Zen forest of the five major southern Zen forests during the Tang Dynasty. The existing more than 1,000 pieces of Tang steles and cliff carvings, with a history of more than 1,000 years, are the earliest and most numerous cliff carvings in Guilin City. This place has been visited by generations, with Tang Dynasty's Jianzhen, Li Bo, Rong Yu, Song Dynasty's Mi Fu, Fang Xinru, Fan Chengda, Ming Dynasty's Xu Xiake, Yuan Chonghuan, Dong Chuanze, and Xu Beihong, Lao She, and others all leaving their footprints here. Guilin Xishan Scenic Area Guide: Guilin Xishan Scenic Area has a rich cultural heritage and is the location of the 'Xifeng Sunset Glow' from the famous Old Eight Scenic Spots of Guilin. In Guilin, there are generally two major categories of plum blossoms: 'wax plum' and 'plum blossom.'
