GuiLin Travel Overview:

Printing it on banknotes and stamps, painting it on paper and canvas, photographing it on roll films and digital memory cards, and propagating it through all forms of media, from textbooks to word of mouth to Dreamworks cartoons, now that the rational and reserved Chinese appear be the pretty much obsessed admirers of the legendary scenery of Guilin.

After you've glided through the incredibly placid water of Li River downstream, passing with the profusion of the flowering fragrant sweet osmanthus of the nice-looking city, for what the city was named after, and the bizaarly shaped and legend-ridden limestone outcroppings and mountains standing in solitary loftiness with the secrecy of mysterious caves and the subtlety of humanistic touches, to the even more poetically picturesque bohemian villiage of Yangshuo, you would exclaim as well, that the generations of literary writers and poets who more than often compared Guilin to a gorgeious belle titivating herself with the rivers as her green silk ribbons, and the mountains as her emerald jade hairpins were just trying their best to do the magic of Guilin's scenery justice, and the mist shrouded watery fairyland depicted in numerous traditional Chinese paintings were not dreamy or imaginary after all.

A scenic mecca indeed, whose intoxicating natural splendor has been long chanted out nationally in a popular saying, the mountains and waters in Guilin are the best under Heaven, Guilin is also a historically significant and culturally rich city who can trace back its storied past as far back as a century or so before Qin Dynasty, the very first empire in China.

Now a modern medium size Chinese tourist boom town with fine streetscape, fresh air, fun and fresh local cuisine, fantastic diversity in ethnic construction, folklife, festivals and social customs, and full-fledged tourist infrastructure, including an international airport with scheduled air routes to major domestic destinations as far as Hong Kong, Macau and Bangkok, comprehensive rail, waterway and national highway links to the rest of the country, international and local restaurants, as well as western-style hotels and traditional guesthouses, Guilin is on its mark, poised set, and ready to go for a triumphant run in the more challenging race of international tourism championship.
