Guilin ... what can I say ... it is so beautiful and the natural structures of the hills and valleys and so amazing ... the shape of the mountains speak when you look at them ... and they have a variety of shapes to them ... when you stare you will see the shape of horses, elephant, Buddha, etc. ...only till you visit will you know what I mean.

In Wikipedia quotes Guilin as: Guilin (Chinese: 桂林; pinyin: Guìlín) is a city in China, situated in the northeast of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region on the west bank of the Li River. Its name means "forest of Sweet Osmanthus", owing to the large number of fragrant Sweet Osmanthus trees located in the city. The city has long been renowned for its unique scenery.

I think it should be the 8th Wonder of the world ... I saw sugar cane as one of thier staples that was growing in every other farmer's field ... so much more to put about this wonderous place ... it's a must to see

The 4 attractions that I visited was the Li River, Night time cruize (with many famous bridges), Elephant Trunk Hill, and Ludi (Reed-Flute) Cave

Guilin Liangjiang International Airport is their domestic airport

Elephant Trunk Hill is a neat rock formation which actually looks like an elephant drinking from the Li River and it is located at the junction of the Li and Yang Rivers.  Our tour guide told us it was also known as the water-moon arch.  In the distance, it looked to me that there was another elephant drinking water and which I pointed out to our tour guide ... everywhere in Guilin the formations in the rock/limestone seem to looks like something or som...

And we're on the road again, from Guangzhou to Guilin (Guangxi). I wasn't sure what to think of Guilin beforehand; people of TravBuddy give the city good reviews, but the 'packers I met in Hong Kong told me not to bother with it and go directly to Yangshuo. I guess both are right; I liked Guilin and ended up staying another day, but Yangshuo wins in a direct battle. Definitely do both if you have the time. If not, I would recommend Yangshuo. After saying goodbye to Calvin I bo...

We called the same place we had taken the boat tour with this morning and asked to do a day tour of the guilin area as an individual tour.   We were surprised when the same taxi with the same driver pulled up and helen jumped out.  She was apparently the only English speaker available so she got assigned to take us around.  She had never been taken anyone on a tour.  The driver had and sorta called the shots.  Helen was a nice gal and was very cheery.We went...

People i met here, who contributed to and improved my trip: Juliana (Russia) After having a shot too many of rice wine in Yangshuo, we unfortunately missed our train from Guilin to Nanning. Sadly we were not as lucky as in Shanghai, having to pay the full price of another ticket, with not even a partial refund on our unused ones. This meant that we stayed for one more night in the Flowers Hostel and ate what would be our last McDonalds and KFC for at least 3 months, until we reached Bangkok,...
