10 Sights & Landmarks in Guilin That You Shouldn't Miss
Fascinating limestone hills and towers lure tourists from China and around the world to this city of 630,000. Popular sights include 120-hectare Seven Star Park, Reed Flute Cave, 200-foot high Fubo Hill and the much-loved Elephant Trunk Hill. Guilin is very popular as a starting point for Li River cruises to Yangshuo and for visits to the nearby minority villages of Yao, Miao and Dong. April, May, September and October are the best months to visit, as they avoid the extremes of heat and rain.

The ticket office was closed and we did not have to pay to go up. They did however take our temperature and we had to show our passports. Having experienced it for free, I would still pay to go up, it was fun and worth the climb! We took a different route up and came down a different route. You get to see different things as you meander around the hill. Enjoyed very much! We even saw a man swimming in the Li river. If you look closely you can spot him in the third photo. Lovely way to spend 1.5 hours, highly recommend.

It’s sometimes hard to order the right amount of food in china. Invariably, one tends to get over excited and over order. But this Temple-run buffet is perfect for anyone wanting to sample lots of different dishes without breaking the bank — dinner cost us less than 60rmb for two people, including fruit and drinks, and it’s all vegetarian to boot!

If I remember correctly, I was there in Oct 2011, problem with your selection date. Guilin is one of the most scenic and beautiful part of China, from the river cruise to the Fubo Hill and the caves. It is a very enchanting place.
