You guys are in there during raining season. The river is flooded with yellow sand water. The scenery will be better if you come in the second half of the year. I did the visit in CNY and the river is so clear and the sky so blue!
Guilin is such an amazing place to visit. I was at the cruise many years ago and I really dont believe I was there physically. The views are exactly what you see in movies, paintings etc. Thank you for showing the videos that brought me back memory lane ❤
China’s infrastructure and public transportation are so amazing and convenient for people traveling around the country. And people can reach out to so many places that are difficult to reach because of the decent public transport and highway system.
I visited Guilin area several years ago and its beauty is forever etched in my heart. I love that it’s memorialized for generations as a living gallery, what beautiful and fitting words for it.
It has been raining in southern China recently, and small streams carry soil into large rivers, so the river water will be yellow, while the usual color of the river water is green.
You guys bring back memories. It's been 12 years since I travelled to Guilin and Yangshuo. This place is truly magical. Blew my mind when I first saw it. This is the home of my great grandparents.
Went there last month and it truly deserves its reputation. If you arrive at the 20RMB spot on land, they've made it something of a big tourist attraction, and many people do take a picture with the banknote from the riverbank. I hope you'll take the bamboo raft on Yulong River while you stay in Yangshuo. It was an absolute highlight for me.
Note said that such foggy weather could give an even more beautiful/mystical view of the area. He was right, the drone videos over the area offered a spectacular view of the area, haze and fog create unique atmosphere making sunny days somewhat overrated in photography, beautiful
I spent 3 weeks in Yangshuo in 1998 just chilling, exploring and brushing up on my Chinese. It was SOOOOO much less developed then and quieter. Back then you could hop on a bike and be in the deep countryside in just a few minutes. There are pluses and minuses to everything.
Just found y'alls channel because I am also looking to go to China and study Mandarin and the culture - So far this has been my favorite video! The Guilin cruise to Yangshuo is my top 3 things I want to do in China when I go! Plus Yangshuo will be the city I am studying in so its awesome to see it! 🖤
CHINA 🇨🇳 is the one country that has something for everyone. It is blessed by mother nature with some of the most beautiful and colorful landscapes and waterways. And man-made structures like no where else in the world. In the cities there is amazing infrastructure, beautiful buildings, well maintained parks, plenty of places to buy drinks and snacks, extremely clean public toilets, amazing and very inexpensive and well connected public transportation, safety and the feeling of being safe, convenience in regards to payment method, and mobile phone recharging, need I go on??
Great video China is indeed timeless and everywhere is beautiful. Flora, loved your comment on the benefits of traveling with the "older demographic,:" since I am in that demographic it made me laugh. You guys are the best traveling TH-camrs out there by far!!
What an awesome river cruise down that impressive Li River. Oh wow, that's absolutely beauty and the wonder of nature. Oh my goodness, NATURE at its BEST !!! Thank you very much for sharing with us, Flora & Note. Love your video, always such an enjoyable watch 🫰❤️
Your vlogs are the next best thing to actually being in such great places. It was so relaxing to watch this side of China. As always fantastic vlog guys 😊🎉
Was just there in march and April. Amazing place. We actually had a private guide and they took us to this tram attraction south of Guilin in the Yan Shan district which only opened 3 years ago. Definitely worth the visit ! It’s called Yangshuo Ruyi Peak.
@@FloraandNote Keep adding! China was such a closed book to people in the UK for many years. Wonderful to see the world has so many special places to see and things to do. You’re an inspiration.
I also went to Guilin Yangshuo with my friends in early April. It was very beautiful. But what you're shooting with your drone is a different kind of scenery. It's amazing. Welcome to Guilin again on a sunny day❤!
Flora and Note, thank you for showcasing the breathtaking beauty of Guilin and Yangshuo in your video! These places truly epitomize China's natural wonders, especially the iconic limestone mountains and the picturesque Li River. Your journey captures the essence of Guilin's charm and the serene vibe of Yangshuo perfectly. Looking forward to more awe-inspiring videos from your adventures!
Extremely foggy, looks wet and cool. Yes Note your boat just left, guess you will catch the next 1. Outstanding views from the rooftop of the boat. Big pieces of fish for lunch.This town looks very interesting to me. Old fashion hotel / house. Room looks really nice, big and balcony included. Outstanding From Start To Finish
Guilin has a very famous and beautiful place called GuilinLongji terrace scenic spot, I have been there many years ago and was impressed by the beauty of the place at sunrise, if you love nature then it must be a must visit place for you.
It is almost a folklore that the Chinese believe the moon in the Western sky is bigger and brighter than the one seen over their heads. Now things have changed. Many China tourists visiting the best of the West now return to China loving their country even more than before they left. With so many attractions n scenic spots and conveniences of public transport plus low cost of travel, there is not much for Chinese to see and experience outside their own country.
Were you able to visit the Longji rice terraces? I liked the outdoor play on the water with the mountains lit up. West Street was pretty cool for a tourist trap. Thanks for sharing.
We didn't film a full video there because we only stayed there for about an hour. It wasn't Wuyuan, our homestay owner drove us to a small village called 葛路村 (Gelu Village).
Kewl Cruising ☺️ lol @ your note of Tourism being for the older peeps then thinking of all of them whipping out drones on top of the boat and competing for airspace while blogging😉😂. The clouds give the mountains a mystical arora.. thanks for bringing us all along Flora & Note🙏🙏.. is Guilin associated with Guilin Gao too?🤔
Welcome to Guilin, where I spent four years of my college life, renowned for its unique karst landscape and picturesque scenery. The Li River meanders through, flanked by towering peaks that reflect beautifully on its clear waters, creating breathtaking landscapes. Guilin is not only blessed with stunning natural beauty but also rich historical and cultural heritage, including landmarks like Elephant Trunk Hill and Seven Star Park.
In regards to dressing in traditional clothing, me and my Thai girlfriend went to South Korea a couple months ago. We both dressed as a king and queen hanbok. I was kinda nervous about it since I'm from the US but we got a lot of compliments. There was a large group of older Koreans taking photos of us at Gyeongbokgung Palace while chanting "Korean Drama". 😂
It's been a bit of a wait. Thought you guys just disappeared. You're not under any pressure, are you? I hope you guys have a smooth and enjoyable trip to China, bless you!
The best time to go there is when it's foggy, but it's also very beautiful on a sunny day or during sunset. Just don't waste your time going when it's cloudy or raining without any mist.
epic cruise! pretty nice! wow! that crazy how u all carry a big backpack and travel like that i cant constantly move around like that - too much pack and unpacking for me thats a very nice hotel! holy!!!
Great vlog! I actually plan to go on the Li River Cruise on Mid May and also looking on how to book the cruise. I've looked at online web that claimed to be official Li River Cruise and the price is eyewatering ($78 USD for 3 star cruise) compared to what you had 😭. Could you share where & how you book the cruise? That would be really helpful 🙏
We booked it directly with our hotel the night before we went on the cruise. It could be that our ticket was cheaper because they didn’t include the meal option. We ended up purchasing food so the price was about the same as what you found 😅
A vegetable seller at my nearby market is a "part-time" tour agent and she often organized excursions to China especially Guilin during school holiday seasons. And Guilin is probably the number one travel destinations in China for Malaysians Chinese. We in the capital Kuala Lumpur also speak Cantonese as lingua franca among various dialect groups. 😂
Thank you so much for watching 😊 Part 2 will be posted midweek on Wednesday (May 1) so stay tuned!
期待你们在“老寨山”给大家带来的桂林漓江美景❤
Hongkong freedom country 🐻🐻🐻

I often thought that Chinese watercolour paintings were poetic licence but many who saw the real thing confirmed it's really like a painting .
But Korea and Kpop steal it
China’s infrastructure and public transportation are so amazing and convenient for people traveling around the country. And people can reach out to so many places that are difficult to reach because of the decent public transport and highway system.
I immediately went to my drawer to find my 20 Yuan notes! This is spectacular my friends! Definitely going on my bucket list.
I visited Guilin area several years ago and its beauty is forever etched in my heart. I love that it’s memorialized for generations as a living gallery, what beautiful and fitting words for it.
CHINA is very beautiful
It has been raining in southern China recently, and small streams carry soil into large rivers, so the river water will be yellow, while the usual color of the river water is green.
Love your Chinese series. Flora's voice is so sweet and Note has a very calm demeanor. You guys are a perfect couple!
You guys bring back memories. It's been 12 years since I travelled to Guilin and Yangshuo. This place is truly magical. Blew my mind when I first saw it. This is the home of my great grandparents.
There is an old saying goes “桂林山水甲天下 Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world”, glad u enjoyed yourselves there😊
We loved it! Glad we didn’t just take a bus or train to Yangshuo 😂
@@FloraandNote桂林this period is raining season. You could have choose the wrong timing
and there is another old saying gose "Yang shuo's landscapes are the best of Gui lin"
这里的天下应该特指当时的华夏领土
I love the misty clouds wrapping around the mountains, it's so magical, just like Chinese paintings! Gorgeous! 😍❤
When western countries media reporting they report the misty sky and clouds as heavy pollution.
你们的视频让人觉得时间很快，还未看够就结束了。中国很大，每个地方各不相同的美景，重庆成都西安西藏北京……相同的是中国人的热情和友善。你们两是最佳旅伴，谢谢你们把中国介绍给世界。

Wow, beautiful place! I never thought China is this beautiful 👍🏼
Wow! People often say '桂林山水甲天下，阳朔山水甲桂林'. It deserves the reputation.
我復活節也去了挂林，風景真的很美。

i recommend visit in the summer. it is mostly clear blue sky, hot humid though.
Always enjoy watching your vlog of your trip in China including this one.
What an awesome river cruise down that impressive Li River. Oh wow, that's absolutely beauty and the wonder of nature. Oh my goodness, NATURE at its BEST !!! Thank you very much for sharing with us, Flora & Note. Love your video, always such an enjoyable watch 🫰❤️
Definitely worth coming to Guilin to experience this natural beauty 😍 We have a special mid- week episode coming on Wednesday 😉
@@FloraandNote Ok noted with thanks. ✌️
The Li River truly is a stunning natural wonder ❤
Your vlogs are the next best thing to actually being in such great places. It was so relaxing to watch this side of China. As always fantastic vlog guys 😊🎉
Thank you! This means so much to us and makes us even more motivated to keep creating travel content 🥰🙏🏻
I recommend you to go to Tibet. You can start from Chengdu. The scenery along the way is amazing.❤

You are both showing me so many places I didn’t even know I needed to see! Great video, thank you!
Haha glad to hear we’re adding to your travel bucket list!

Wow so beautiful & well narrated by both of you. Well done. Can’t wait for the rest of your China adventure ❤
stunning views,!
Make sure to watch water show impression of Sanjie Liu. There is TH-cam video about it. A very colorful and grand nighttime show right by the river.

桂林山水甲天下，陽朔山水甲桂林！🎉🎉陽朔更美。🎉🎉

Glad to see the beaty of Guilin from your impressive video!
Theses scenes on the river banks have often been depicied on Chinese paintings.
前几期我就预感到你们要来桂林，欢迎❤
桂林现在是雨季，可惜你们到来前两天下过大雨，所以江水变得混浊，如果几天没有大雨，漓江会逐渐恢复清澈，风景会更漂亮。如果在雨季空气湿度大的时候，又正好小雨过后天晴，运气好可以见到桂林最美的时刻-烟雨桂林。
哈哈，是不可以错过的地方！一定要来看看🤩
Were you able to visit the Longji rice terraces? I liked the outdoor play on the water with the mountains lit up. West Street was pretty cool for a tourist trap. Thanks for sharing.
Both of you are the real travel KOL. Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you so much for watching and supporting! 🙏🏻🥰
Another fairyland you bring to us.🎉
As a Chinese, I have not been to most parts of China. I am also planning to go after retirement
Hahaha I love those seeds 😅 but so difficult to open ❤❤❤
Woww what a breathtaking view, the shot on 6:10 is impeccable
Btw you didn't record a video from the canola flower field near Wangxian Valley?
We didn't film a full video there because we only stayed there for about an hour. It wasn't Wuyuan, our homestay owner drove us to a small village called 葛路村 (Gelu Village).
@@FloraandNote Ahh I see :)
so stunning, thanks for sharing! I have to see by myself now :)
Kewl Cruising ☺️ lol @ your note of Tourism being for the older peeps then thinking of all of them whipping out drones on top of the boat and competing for airspace while blogging😉😂.

Guilin is famous for its awesome views
epic cruise! pretty nice! wow!
that crazy how u all carry a big backpack and travel like that
i cant constantly move around like that - too much pack and unpacking for me
thats a very nice hotel! holy!!!
五一假期快來了😅，景點人會超多，要有點準備
Amazing ❤❤❤
Sunflower seeds are very useful for relieving stress and anxiety
I been to Guilin a few times, but never the cruise. Awesome 🎉
There’s always next time!

5:08 hehe hope you guys are still in China on may 1st to see the young people traveling in China lmao😂😂 the national holidays are always crazy
Flora and Note, I'm liking this China series. Wish to meet you both one day. Do you think you both will visit Beijing?
Thank you. Very beautiful.
What a place?! You two were so lucky 👍.
every day is an adventure in CHINA
Did you do the drone shots yourself? Absolutely beautiful
Most of them are done by Note 😊
Just been there last December, can't get enough of it, especially the little limestone mountains.
You two find the most beautiful places awesomeness 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Glad we can share them with you!
love your video !
I'm from Hong Kong. I heard Cantonese on the boat. So maybe they're tourists from GuangZhou.
A vegetable seller at my nearby market is a "part-time" tour agent and she often organized excursions to China especially Guilin during school holiday seasons. And Guilin is probably the number one travel destinations in China for Malaysians Chinese. We in the capital Kuala Lumpur also speak Cantonese as lingua franca among various dialect groups. 😂
Lovely Guilin and Yangshuo
We stayed at the exact same room in Yangshuo a month ago :D !
I spent 2 weeks living and just biking around guilin in 2013 on my gap year. Still remember it to this day
Impresionante… 😍😍😍😍 Estoy sin palabras de lo espectacular de este lugar!!!
Another Beautiful Video!!😊Thank you🙏
