Chilling out in Guilin
Print Edition
SITTING in northeastern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Guilin boasts enchanting natural views that have often been described as “the best in the world” since ancient times.
Savoring Guilin’s beauty can perhaps best be enjoyed on a bamboo raft ride on the Lijiang River, which meanders leisurely around the oddly shaped karst mountains and caves.
The laid-back county of Yangshuo is known as a backpacker’s retreat with an eclectic vibe that blends the idyllic lifestyle of the Zhuang minority people with a surprisingly vibrant nightlife.
If time permits, drop by the magnificent Longji Terrace Land, a three-hour drive from Guilin. Overlooking mountain
tops, the terraced paddy fields have inspired artists for centuries as mountain peaks often look as though they are peeking out from the clouds.
April to October is the best time of year to visit Guilin. Shanghai Daily photographer Dong Jun captures the soul of the city.
