Tourist Evaluation of Xiangbi Mountain Scenic Spot ：
@ Jing'an Temple ：
The symbolic natural landscape, Guilin's city emblem Elephant Trunk Mountain! It's very beautiful. The tickets are very expensive. It's no excuse to lie down or not play. It's just that I came in a hurry and didn't arrange my schedule properly. Otherwise, the tour order and time will be more satisfied, and the package price will also be much cheaper. See the bacon stone? It's a stone. When the sun went down, I wanted to go to the top of the mountain, but my physical strength was exhausted. I went to a small shop to eat swordfish recommended by my friends. Thank you! Suitable for children

We came to Elephant Trunk Hill Park in the evening. Before we could sigh about the magic of natural karst landform, we first sighed about the price of tickets, which cost 75 yuan. This park is really only Elephant Trunk Hill. Compared with some tourists who come in peak season and in tight time, there are only a few tourists in the park in the evening. If you want, You can take a clear group photo with Elephant Trunk Mountain.
The whole mountain is really like an elephant standing by the river, stretching its trunk to drink water. It is lifelike. The power of nature is so magical, but it is inexplicably reminiscent of the animals in the circus. Since the moment it was raised in captivity, the Elephant Trunk Mountain no longer has the aura of "the elephant trunk clearly drinks the jade river, and the west wind absorbs water to respond to the waves", as the poem said in those days, I think.
@ Will you cry What a classic place. The Elephant Trunk Mountain and Lijiang River landscape in the elementary school textbooks filled me with infinite longing for Guilin at that time. After so many years, I finally had the opportunity to come here. But to be honest, Elephant Trunk Mountain is really disappointing. It costs 70 yuan to enter the Elephant Trunk Mountain Park, and there is no panoramic view of Elephant Trunk Mountain in the park, We have been walking outside. The first half of the outside is blocked by trees. But if we go straight ahead, we can find the entrance to the Lijiang River and see the panoramic view of Elephant Trunk Mountain
@ The clothes have no buttons : Fill your stomach and kill quickly to Elephant Trunk Mountain! The last time I came here, I missed this scenic spot due to time constraints. This time, I must meet my childhood wishes. I believe many friends have learned a text about Elephant Trunk Hill in primary school.
@ nervous : It's not very big, but there are many scenic spots. Buying group tickets at travel agencies can save some money! The recommended travel time is 2 hours! We played for more than four hours!
