As the famous tourism city in China, Gulin has long enjoyed the reputation that "Guilin wins the world for its mountains and waters".
Located in the northeast part of Guangxi, Guilin has warm climate and abundant rainfall; the Karst landscape creates the rising mountains with various forms; the water of the winding Lijiang River is crystal clear; the mountains have many deep caves with grand sceneries; the grotesque rocks in the caves are the genius work of the nature. All of these constitute the “four wonders” of Guilin: green mountains, clear water, surprising caves and grotesque rocks. Lijiang River, Xiangbi Mountain, Diecai Mountain, Ludi Rock, Qixing Park and other famous scenery spots contribute to the unique charm of Guilin landscape.
Guilin is an ancient culture city with more than two thousand years’ history. After Emperor Qin Shi Huang united China, he set up the Guilin Shire and ordered to excavate Lingqu to connect Xiangjiang River and Lijiang River. This makes Guilin an important town connecting the ocean and the plain area. The marvelous landscape of Guilin has attracted numerous scholars, who left lots of ever-lasting poems and prose, and more than 2,000 stone inscription and wall calligraphy. The ancient relic sites here shape the unique charm of the integration of natural scenery and humanistic scenery.
In addition, Guilin is home to many ethnic groups, such as Zhuang, Yao, Miao, Dongand so on. The various folk traditions make Gulin landscape different from others. On your tour to Guilin, you may take an excursion to the Minority Ethnic Villages, to sense the peculiar local traditions and life style.
