Guilin


Stepping outside of Beijing for a moment to visit Guilin. Guilin is a city in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, west of Hong Kong, and it is flat-out the most beautiful place in China. The best scenery, the nicest people, the most charming women, you name it, Guilin's got it.
The karst limestone cliffs and mountains give the area its unique scenic character. Plus, it's got a sub-tropical climate, so it could be mistaken for Hawai'i if there was a beach anywhere nearby.
Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is closer in proximity to Thailand and Vietnam than Beijing, and home to many minority groups. It's one place in China where the people truly appreciate their culture year-round.
