There are lot's of cool Mountains to climb in Guilin! Alot of these Gumdrop shaped Mountains have steps leading to the top. I always expected to see a 400-Year old wiseman sitting at the top saying "Welcome Grasshoppah" But I didn't see any! But the views are great! You will have to be in decent shape to get to the top of them as I didn't see any Elevators. But I'm sure they're thinking about them! I read about lot's of tourists in Guilin but I was there in February and it was cold and the tourists were hiding! WARNING!! All of the tips here on my Guilin page are based off a trip that I did in 1987. So the stories are real but don't use any of the prices for current trips!! You may be disappointed! But for sure you should go to Guilin!!

great memories!was in China 96&97 - Guilin 97(after 11hrs train from Changsha)rushed back from Yangshuo by taxi,rushed up a mountain,rushed to airport and flew to Kunming!all a big rush but i saw and enjoyed so much...thousands of photos of course...
Great page Scott. I'm visiting Guilin in September. Bet its changed a bit since 1987! Thanks for sharing. Brian
Nice little page Scott. If I go to China within the next 12-24 months, perhaps I'll include a visit here.
Good thinking, Scott. Going to the caves when it was raining was a great idea. This looks to be a very interesting area. Great job.
the limestone peaks look beautiful towering over the city. would like to see this area one day. and was that you in the nessie van? you freak! lol ;-P
sounds like an interesting place to go.. might be going in nov.. thanks for the stories.. :)
A very enjoyable page Scott, it is amazing what memories an old journal will bring back! Those hills look fantastic, what a landscape! A great page with lots of useful details!
Well, Comic Book rental it is funny, never heard about it! Great page Scott.
What an interesting read! Would be nice if the prices were still accurate.
A very good read Scott. I liked your photos too.
