The Gudong Scenic Area of the Lijiang River. The Gudong Waterfall is located 26 kilometers east of Guilin's urban area, and it is on the eastern route together with Daxu Ancient Town and Guanyan Scenic Area. Along the way, you can visit the Ten-Mile Gallery in the upper reaches of the Lijiang River, Daxu Ancient Town, and Guanyan Scenic Area.
The most distinctive feature of the Gudong Waterfall is that you can wear a raincoat and straw sandals and trek upstream along the steep stone walls all the way. The waterfall is divided into nine levels, and the clear water curtain cascades down from the top of the mountain. Climbing the waterfall is like rock climbing in the water. In the places where the water flow is gentle, the water gently caresses the insteps, just like wading through a stream. In the places where the water flow is rapid, it reaches up to the thighs. At this time, teamwork is required to successfully reach the top.
Tracing the stream is both thrilling and exciting. Even if you become a "drowned rat", it will still make you excited. For those who are unable to get close to the water, they can also enjoy the scenery with distinct ethnic characteristics by taking the land route.
In addition, there is a suspension bridge in the Gudong Scenic Area, which is 62 meters high. While testing your courage, you can also inhale fresh air and nourish your lungs amidst the lush greenery of the Gudong Forest.
