    1. Near Guilin there’s Longji rice terrace, which resides in villages with some tribal culture. That bamboo rice looks tribal influenced, you may get more dishes like that towards Longji
    2. Electronic bike might be a good option for touring, speed up easily to dodge in busy traffic, saves your energy for when you’re figuring out the best route 😆
