    This place made China famous around the world! We're talking about the jaw-dropping beauty of Guilin in the Guangxi region of China. Guilin is most famous for its iconic limestone mountains and caves, which are truly unique in the world. There's no better way to experience Guilin than taking a river cruise down the impressive Li River, known for its picturesque views reminiscent of traditional Chinese paintings. And finally, our journey ends in Yangshuo, a serene and laid-back town, where we'll be checking into a lovely hotel right by the river.

    It is blessed by mother nature with some of the most beautiful and colorful landscapes and waterways.
    And man-made structures like no where else in the world.
    In the cities there is amazing infrastructure, beautiful buildings, well maintained parks, plenty of places to buy drinks and snacks, extremely clean public toilets, amazing and very inexpensive and well connected public transportation, safety and the feeling of being safe, convenience in regards to payment method, and mobile phone recharging, need I go on??

    Went there last month and it truly deserves its reputation. If you arrive at the 20RMB spot on land, they've made it something of a big tourist attraction, and many people do take a picture with the banknote from the riverbank. I hope you'll take the bamboo raft on Yulong River while you stay in Yangshuo. It was an absolute highlight for me.

    I spent 3 weeks in Yangshuo in 1998 just chilling, exploring and brushing up on my Chinese. It was SOOOOO much less developed then and quieter. Back then you could hop on a bike and be in the deep countryside in just a few minutes. There are pluses and minuses to everything.

      A vegetable seller at my nearby market is a "part-time" tour agent and she often organized excursions to China especially Guilin during school holiday seasons. And Guilin is probably the number one travel destinations in China for Malaysians Chinese. We in the capital Kuala Lumpur also speak Cantonese as lingua franca among various dialect groups. 😂

      It is almost a folklore that the Chinese believe the moon in the Western sky is bigger and brighter than the one seen over their heads. Now things have changed. Many China tourists visiting the best of the West now return to China loving their country even more than before they left. With so many attractions n scenic spots and conveniences of public transport plus low cost of travel, there is not much for Chinese to see and experience outside their own country.

    Guilin has a very famous and beautiful place called GuilinLongji terrace scenic spot, I have been there many years ago and was impressed by the beauty of the place at sunrise, if you love nature then it must be a must visit place for you.

    Extremely foggy, looks wet and cool. Yes Note your boat just left, guess you will catch the next 1. Outstanding views from the rooftop of the boat. Big pieces of fish for lunch.This town looks very interesting to me. Old fashion hotel / house. Room looks really nice, big and balcony included. Outstanding From Start To Finish
