A Memorable Trip

When planning our tour to China, I had emphazised, that I really wanted to go to Guilin and take a cruise on the Li River.

Well, my friends agreed and we even spent two more days in Yangshuo to enjoy this beautiful part of the world even more!

I don't think, that any one of us would want to miss having visited this place, although it is rather touristy - but then for a good reason, too! I have the best memories and hope, you will enjoy this page!

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:spectacular landscape
  • Cons:VERY touristy
  • In a nutshell:worthwhile a trip!!!

    Oh, I always dreamt of going to Guilin and surroundings. Maybe one day I will venture to China again.

    Beautiful pics! Sounds like you managed to get around and eat in Yangshou without knowing much Chinese :-) Hope to make it to that area of China someday

    BEAUTIFUL place -- the boat trip looks so scenic! And good advice on eating when you are linguistically challenged :)))
