"Under Transition" a Guilin Travel Page by FreeCloud

The Canton page is used for info/photos of <font color=red size=+2>Guilin/Gui Lin </font> city, and <a href='http://www.virtualtourist.com/m/.101103/article/679/87/?s=f' target=newwindow> <font color=blue size=+1> Li River Cruise </font> </a> and Yangshuo town (more photos and text in travelogue, 2002-June-10)

Under ‘MUST SEE’ section:
Generally speaking, besides the Li River Cruise, the most touristy places to go are:

To have a good bird view Guilin’s unique landscape:
<font color=blue size=+1> Folded Brocade Hill </font> /Die Cai Shan (more later)
<font color=blue size=+1> Wave Subsiding Hill </font>/Fu Bo Shan (as shown in title photo, more later)

Others parks:
<font color=blue size=+1> Elephant Trunk Hill</font>/Xian Shan (more later)
<font color=blue size=+1> Tunnel Pagoda Hill</font>/Chuan Shan (more later)

[Now you already learn that ‘shan’ means ‘hill’ or mountain].

We love the countryside with tranquility so you could ride a bike or ask your taxi driver take you to: <font color=blue size=+1> Peach Bloss River </font>, there, you got closer to those water buffaloes, rice field, fishing people, and local village people (more later).


Many people also go to the <font color=blue size=+1> Ethnic Folk Park </font>, where a few ethnic culture architectures are displayed, some local people dress up in ethnic group’s costume performing folk dances/singing and other festival activities, some of them, inviting tourists to join. Or, selling souvenirs.

If you are there at the right time, and if you are interested, around lunar calendar May 15, there would be an <font color=blue size=+1> International Dragon Boat Festival</font>. Just follow the crowds or the firecracker sounds along the Li River segment inside Guilin city for viewing the competition.
