Small sized Photographs - Yi Li Cave

Counter at exit - to collect your photos

Everyone loves to have their pics taken especially when there's a beautiful backdrop that goes with it. Well, here's the catch when you are in Yi Ling Cave. You will arrive at one of the most beautiful stone formations with its reflections on the clear waters. The photographers will say that your camera is not able to capture the beautiful scene as your camera's flash is not powerful enough - they will photograph you with this nice scene and guess what? ...they will give you the photograph later when you exit the cave. Hmmmm.......

We did not want ours to be taken , knowing that there's no such thing as "free lunches" - anyway, they insisted so we just let them take the photos - knowing that we will not buy the photos anyhow.

Well, they kept their promise - they will give you your photos but its a tiny 3cm by 2cm photo of you against the scenery. Don't fret - if you think that you want an enlargement.... ah..hah
...its all ready for you! 15yuan for a 3R and 30yuan for a 4R - lucrative business eh??

Unique Suggestions: If they insist that everyone has to take a photo - no worries, just take it. They will not force you to buy it anyway.

Fun Alternatives: Just simply don't buy the photos. Keep the tiny ones for laughs!

There are two ways of going into the
Wen Wu Yuan Park which is just next to the Guangxi Provincial Museum (Guangxi Sheng Bowuguan) :
1) The main entrance Wen Wu Yuan park at the bus stop of Wen Wu Yuan stop.
2) By way of Guangxi Provincial Museum entrance and then move from Museum to the neighbouring grounds of the Park.

Normally the tour buses will take loads of tourists to visit this park & the museum through the Park entrance. This package will include the following activities :-

1) Around Park and the Gigantic Drum Monument
2) Cloud and Wind Pavillion
3) Cultural performances : dances and wedding ceremony
4) Entry into the Museum

If you enter through the Museum entrance, you not only get to tour the museum but get to see the cultural performances and walk round the park! at 8yuan only!

Museum operating hours : 8.30am to 11.30am and 2.30pm to 5.30pm daily
Entrance fee : 8yuan per pax
Wen Wu Yuan operating hours : 9am to 5pm
Entrance fee is :8yuan per pax excluding performances and Museum
28yuan - full package for park, performances and museum visit

See pictures attached on how to get to the different entrances.
