Guilin Season and Weather

Assalamualaikum dan selamat sejahtera to all my blog readers ,

"Ni Hao Ma?"....Citer pasal Guilin lagik...
Citer ni keluar hasil dari entry Percutian Tidak Di Rancang

Beautiful of Two Lake Four River

Kenapa tetiba je JM keluarkan entri ni yer..Aha..ini bertujuan sebagai rujukan JM sendiri dan juga kepada kengkawan yang berhasrat untuk melancong ke Guilin. Kenapa Guilin.

Daripada sumber pembacaan JM (berita harian 2012), ramai pelancong ke Guilin memberi feedback yang amat baik ada yang terpesona dengan keindahan lanskap alam semulajadinya yang kaya dengan air dan struktur batu kapur. Guilin yang terletak di wilayah Guangxi Zhuang di selatan China, dianggap bandar raya tercantik di negara Komunis.

Di tengah-tengah bandar raya Guilin ada sekurang-kurangnya tiga kawasan tumpuan pelancong utama iaitu Taman Tujuh Bintang (Seven Star Park), Taman Bukit Belalai Gajah (Elephant Trunk Hill) serta menyusuri dua sungai dan empat tasiknya (Two River Four Lake) yang dianggap seperti oasis di tengah bandar.

Taman Tujuh Bintang seluas 120 hektar dianggap antara taman dalam bandar tercantik di China. Lokasi ini menjadi kunjungan pertama kami sebaik menjejakkan kaki ke Guilin. Pelancong boleh mengunjungi Gua Tujuh Bintang; Gua Longyin; Batu Bulan Sabit; Batu Zenggong; Batu Longyin; Jambatan Bunga dan mini zoo yang turut menempatkan beruang Panda, Menara Bulan Sabit, perkuburan tiga Jeneral dan 800 pahlawan serta Bukit Unta yang dianggap simbol taman ini.

Lebih menarik, sebuah masjid juga dibina di taman ini. Namun, masjid itu berada dalam keadaan tidak terurus kerana mungkin sedang diubahsuai. Taman Bukit Belalai Gajah pula menempatkan sebuah bukit batu kapur di tebing sungai yang dikatakan menyerupai bentuk seekor gajah sedang minum dan dianggap sebagai mercu tanda Guilin. Guilin juga mempunyai `saudara kembar' iaitu kawasan bukit di tepi laut bandar Ertretat, Perancis, yang mempunyai bentuk hampir sama dan pengisytiharan bandar kembar ini dibuat sejak enam tahun lalu.

Dua sungai dan empat tasik meliputi Sungai Li dan Sungai Taohua serta Tasik Rong, Shan, Gui dan Mulong yang bertemu di tengah bandar raya. Lebih menarik jika mudik kawasan ini dengan menaiki bot berbumbung pada waktu malam. Anda boleh menyaksikan sepanjang tebing dan jambatan dihiasi lampu berwarna-warni selain melihat air pancut berirama, tarian dan muzik tradisional dimainkan di pentas khas.

Yangshuo, pekan tradisional yang menyajikan keindahan tersendiri untuk pelancong. Di sini, acara yang tidak boleh dilepaskan ialah menyaksikan persembahan `Impression Sister Liu Light Show' yang diadakan di panggung terbuka yang mampu memuatkan kira-kira 3,000 penonton. Menjadikan Sungai Li sebagai pentas, berlatar belakangkan 12 bukit batu kapur dan langit sebagai bumbung, hati teruja menyaksikan persembahan hampir dua jam.

Pertunjukan membabitkan 600 penari, penyanyi dan pelakon itu membuat pengkisahan hidup masyarakat di Guilin yang banyak bermain dengan warna, cahaya, sistem bunyi dan keharmonian pergerakan, tarian dan suara nyata begitu menarik, tambahan pula ia adalah hasil `buah tangan' sutradara tersohor, Zhang Yimou.

Melawat Shangri-La Yangshuo, kawasan perkampungan budaya masyarakat minoriti yang dikelilingi tasik, sungai dan sawah padi berlatar belakang bukit batu kapur yang berceracak. Di sini kami terhibur dengan pelbagai tarikan seperti persembahan nyanyian, tarian, alat muzik dan hasil kerja tangan keturunan Yao, Miao dan Dong.

Antara tempat menarik yang lain adalah menaiki kereta kabel ke puncak Gunung Yao; melawat Gua Perak (Silver Cave) dan Gua Mahkota (Crown Cave) yang tersenarai dalam Guiness Book Of Records sebagai gua yang paling banyak laluan di dunia. Turut dilawati, Taman Tema Guilin Merryland Resort, Zhenyang Pedestrian Street dan Masjid lama Guilin yang berusia 277 tahun.

Ada dua masjid di Guilin yang terletak dalam lingkungan dua kilometer antara satu sama lain yang bukan saja memberikan kemudahan untuk beribadah malah restoran halal berhampirannya. Malah, di sesetengah hotel menyediakan bilik tidur khas untuk umat Islam yang mempunyai petunjuk arah kiblat, sejadah serta al-Quran terjemahan bahasa Cina serta bilik khas untuk pengunjung Islam menjamu selera. Ini tidak menghairankan kerana pada wang kertas Yuan China juga ada tulisan jawi yang menunjukkan pengiktirafan terhadap masyarakat Islam di negara.

Tidak sukar menjejaki Gulim kerana AirAsia menyediakan penerbangan terus dari Kuala Lumpur ke Guilin sebanyak empat kali seminggu yang penting ada pitihnya.

Ada sesapa yang teruja tak selepas baca entri berkenaan Guilin ni..kalau ada JM nasihatkan sebelum beli tiket tu..kenalpasti dulu Musim dan kedaan Cuaca yang sesuai yer..

Guilin Season (source from HERE)

 Spring
Spring, early March to middle April, is mostly sunny. At this time, northern China is still silvered with snow or frost, but Guilin has been full of tinges of spring – colorful flowers and green willows compete with each other for beauty of looks. Sometimes, there are spring drizzles, but something lighter like T-shirts with a raincoat will be comfortable. If you visiting there in spring, rain wear is also must.

 Summer

Guilin’s summer from late April to mid-August is a rainy season especially in May and June. The rainfall in summer reaches up to 1,000 mm, making up over 50% of the total rainfall per year.

It would be a great pity if you haven't enjoyed the misty rain of Li River during your Guilin travel. T-shirts with skirts, shorts or slacks are the best choice for summer when the temperature can be rather high. It would be wise to bring sun block with you, some medicine to prevent heatstroke and insect repellant Local herbal tea also helps travelers to become accustomed to the local weather and water.

 Autumn
Autumn, the golden season to visit that area, usually starts from late August and ends at the end of October. At this period of time, it is mostly clear and cool, and the water in the Li River is as smooth as a glass. So it is a best time to enjoy the reflections of the mountains. Comfortable, casual and light clothes such as long-sleeved T-shirts or shirts plus thin jackets would be enough.

 Winter
Winter in Guilin is from November to February when the whole city is covered with blossoming sweet-scented osmanthus giving off its fragrance everywhere. Traveling there in winter, you just have to take some spring and autumn clothes with one or two lightweight winter wear like thermal underwear and woolen sweaters. Snow is rare in that city, but there is the chance to enjoy the winter snow in or on the top of the mountains around the city during the coldest time before or after the Chinese Spring Festival.
