Take a trip to Guilin on your China Vacation
The scenic town of Guilin is a well-known tourist destination on China tours. Many flocks here for the magnificent landscapes and clean air. Its beauty has been displayed in films such as Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and The Painted Veil.
Located in south China, Guilin is in the northeast area of the Guangxi region and sits on the west bank of the Li River. The fragrance of Sweet Osmanthus trees (for which Guilin is named) fills the air and adds to Guilin’s beauty, as do the two rivers, four lakes and karst mountains it is surrounded by.
Within a short distance are many other scenic places to visit including the Li River, listed as one of the World’s Top Ten Watery Wonders by National Geographic Magazine; Longsheng’s Rice Terraces, built 700 years ago and famous for its ethnic villages, the Lijiang River, and Yangshuo, a small county downstream from Guilin.
