| 5/10-13/2013 Guilin, China was awesome. First we visited the rice terraces of Longji, then the beautiful Reed Flute Cave. The next day we took in the Karst Mountains along the Li River on the way to Yangshuo. At Yangshuo, we saw the ancient Fuli Bridge and the more popular Dragon Bridge with its surrounding areas. Finally, we saw the sights of Guilin: Elephant Trunk Hill, the Twin Towers, Seven Star Park (including its cave as well), and the Solitary Peak and its tribute to leaders and scholars long gone. Also: a few scenes from Guilin Hotel where we stayed in the middle of the Botanical Gardens - a very cool place with its own tea house and musicians. On the way back from Yangshuo, we sat at the front of the bus and witnessed the passing rights on a two lane highway. Two lanes turned into six! Luckily, we were in one of the bigger vehicles! |
