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.

This was the old palace of one of the crown princes of the Qing dynasty. Very unique palace ground with a solo hill protruding in the middle of the palace.

We arrived early in the morning before the crowds of tourists arrive and just as the locals were out doing their daily shopping, and setting up tables with food and craft items to sell. The narrow houses, shops & temple lined streets along the river were great for exploring and catching a glimpse of a way of life that is quickly disappearing. On our way back to town we stopped at a road side table and bought some delicious fresh strawberries.
