Guilin
Trip Planning & Itineraries
Say Guilin and watch the looks of rapture (and pride) on the faces of Chinese people. Dotted with supernaturally lovely karst topography gracing the Li River (Lí Jiāng) - these bizarre limestone upthrusts shape-shifting in dancing mists and haze - the city's beauty has been celebrated for generations by painters and poets.
Suggested Itineraries: Guilin
The climb to the top of Solitary Beauty Peak (Dúxiù Fēng) is steep, but offers splendid vistas. At the foot of the peak is the 14th-century Wang Cheng, a palace built by the nephew of a Ming emperor. It's also home to a theatre that holds nightly traditional minority performances.
Close to Solitary Beauty Peak, Fúbō Shān (Wave-Subduing Hill) offers equally good views. On the southern slope of the hill is Returned Pearl Cave (Huánzhū Dòng). A 1,000-year-old Buddha image is etched into the cave wall, along with more than 200 other images of the Buddha, most dating from the Song and Tang dynasties.
