China 26th December 2017 to 1st January 2018 - Day 5

Day 5

Breakfast is as usual buffet in the hotel and in this hotel in Longsheng, everything is in Chinese right down to the switches.

Light Switches

Guilin famous rice noodles

After breakfast we headed back Guilin and it was cold and clammy morning. I was glad that we had completed the itinerary here. 

Cold cold morning.

Our first destination in Guilin is the Zizhou Park which is facing the Elephant Trunk Hill. 

An Electric Police Car outside the park.

 Chinese scholar.

Bamboo scroll with writing.

Our park guide

Some kind of scholar I think.

Lots of green - bamboo

The famous elephant trunk hill.

Lunar cycle figurines

More scholars

Nearly missed this, I think it is the only one in English.

The next destination is Mulong Lake Park after lunch. The thought of a McDonald burger sound great but it is just the same old swimming in oil kind of food.

A pagoda

Totem poles of concrete.

Traditional songs and dances.

The Mulong Arch bridge in the background.

45 meter high Mulong pagoda.

 Old fort.

Drums.

Trail up to the peak.

Next on the list is the Rong and Shan lake area for some scenic view including the Ancient South Gate.

A Gazebo.

A 1,000 year old banyan tree we were told. The Ancient South Gate is on the left I think.

About the banyan tree.

A bridge made of mostly marble.

A view?

Scholars a plenty.

Bike sharing.

The Sun & Moon pagodas.

Day 5 had concluded  and day 6 would be our last day of sight seeing. 

Good night ...
