Guangxi is a region rich in natural scenery and ethnic culture, making it an ideal destination for short budget travel. Here is a suggestion for a two-day, one-night budget trip in Guangxi:
**Day 1: Exploring Guilin City**
**Morning:** Upon arriving in Guilin, the first stop can be Elephant Trunk Hill Park, which is a landmark attraction in Guilin. Admission is free, and from the top of the hill, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the beautiful Guilin cityscape.
**Noon:** Look for a local rice noodle shop in Guilin city to taste authentic Guilin rice noodles, which are reasonably priced.
**Afternoon:** Explore the scenic Li River. You can choose to take a bamboo raft or a cruise to appreciate the stunning landscapes along the river. If you’re on a tight budget, consider taking a walk along the riverbank near the city, where you can still enjoy beautiful views.
**Evening:** Attend the “Impression Liu Sanjie” performance in Guilin, a large-scale live show that combines various art forms such as singing, dancing, drama, acrobatics, and magic, vividly showcasing the ethnic culture of the Zhuang people. Ticket prices can be high, but you can look for discount information online.
Day 2: Yangshuo Ten Mile Gallery Ride
Morning: Depart from Guilin and take the bus to Yangshuo. Once in Yangshuo, rent a bike and start your tour of the Ten Mile Gallery. It is a flat riding route suitable for beginner riders. Along the way, you can enjoy beautiful rural scenery and unique karst landscapes.
Noon: Taste farmhouse food at a farmhouse near Ten Mile Gallery at a reasonable price.
Afternoon: Continue cycling, on the way, you can visit Moon Mountain, Butterfly Spring and other attractions. If you have more time, you can also visit Yangshuo West Street to experience the local folk culture.
Evening: Return to downtown Guilin and choose a budget hotel to stay at a relatively low price.
Transportation costs are the main expense of this trip, and you can choose to take a bus or train to Guilin and Yangshuo to reduce transportation costs. When it comes to accommodation and dining, there are budget hotels and local snack bars to save money. In addition, tickets and hotels can be booked online in advance and at discounted rates.
During the trip, take care to protect the environment, respect local customs, and at the same time pay attention to safety and obey traffic rules. I hope this two-day and one-night Guangxi budget travel suggestion can be helpful to you, and I wish you a pleasant trip!
