Guilin Haiyang Ginkgo Village.
🌟 Highlights:
The largest ginkgo tree in Ginkgo Village is in Datongmuwan Village, where there is a large area of ginkgo trees. Unfortunately, when we went there on November 28, the leaves were not yellow enough.
🚉 Transportation:
Take a taxi from Guilin North Railway Station. It takes a little more than 1 hour if it is not rush hour. You can also book a small group tour on Trip.com for CNY 120 per person, including admission tickets. There were only 4 of us in the group that day. We were picked up at Guilin North Railway Station, which was like a private tour.
👍 Recommended:
You must try the ginkgo chicken soup. It tastes good.
👎 Not recommended:
Don't go to Xiaotongmuwan Village. The ginkgo trees are small, and there are people guarding the entrance of the village. You have to pay to enter.
⏳ Duration:
The village is not big. 2 hours is enough.
