City: Guilin

Guilin, whose name means 'Sweet Olive Forest', is China's scenic jewel and a source of inspiration for artists and poets for millennia. Famous for its extraordinary karst landscape, the city sits on the banks of the serene Li River, surrounded by whimsically shaped limestone hills that rise dramatically into the sky. Sailing down the Li River from Guilin to Yangshuo is a journey through a traditional Chinese painting that comes to life, revealing water buffaloes, fishermen, and otherworldly natural beauty.
