  Guilin Facts »

Guilin is regarded in China as the country's most picturesque city. Two crystal-clear rivers meander through the city, which are encircled by mountains with unusual & bizarre rock formations and caves.

Two earth crustal movements took place about 200 and 180 million years ago thrusting the limestone sediments out of the sea bottom, which were forced upwards more than 200 meters to the surface. This karst formation was molded through many years of erosion by the wind and rain to become the hills and rocks with unusual shapes . There are many complete karsts (Limestone sites), which are of high scientific value and tourism value. Read more information about Guilin »
