The Two Rivers and Four Lakes scenic area is a picturesque urban park located in the heart of Guilin, China, renowned for its natural beauty and serene waterways. It encompasses the Li River (Lijiang River), Peach Blossom River (Taohua River), and the interconnected lakes of Shanhu (Fir Lake), Ronghu (Banyan Lake), Guihu (Osmanthus Lake), and Mulong (Wooden Dragon Lake).
