Why Visit Guilin
Guilin is famous for its dramatic karst landscape — limestone peaks rising from the Li River — that has inspired Chinese painters and poets for centuries. The city is the gateway to Yangshuo and offers some of the most beautiful scenery in China. A Li River cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo is considered one of the world's top travel experiences.
