Guilin is famous in China as having the country's most picturesque city. There is the popular saying “Guilin shanshui jia tian xia”, which means Guilin’s mountain and water scenery is the best under heaven. Two crystal-clear rivers flow through the city, encircled by mountains with unusual and bizarre rock formations and caves.
Guilin has some of the most spectacular karst scenery in the world. Some of China’s minorities inhabit the mountainous regions, including Zhuang (China’s largest minority), Yao, Miao and Dong peoples. Yangshuo has become a magnet for tourists both Chinese and foreign, and has a perpetual holiday atmosphere about it. At Longsheng one can marvel at Chinese agricultural ingenuity in the spectacle of the tiered paddy fields. There is historical architecture to be found, caves, rafting, biking, mountain climbing and countless other attractions. Guilin really is a quite remarkable area, which calls out to be explored, and offers many days of fun and discovery to visitors. Read more about Guilin.
