Yangshuo County & West Street:
Founded in 590 AD, Yangshuo County has been booming because of tourism. With so many fantastic mountains surrounding, it is described as "the world of green lotus and jade bamboo shoots".

Now it is a busy and exotic slate street in Yangshuo County, about 2km long crammed with shops, pubs, cafés and hotels, where you can relax yourself and do some souvenir shopping.

Elephant Trunk Hill:
Elephant Trunk Hill resembling a giant elephant drinking water from the Li River is the symbol of Guilin. It is situated majestically at the southeast of Guilin city and west bank of Li River. Originally named "Li Hill", "Yi Hill" and "Chenshui Hill", the hill has a history of 3.6 hundred million years.

With half of the hill stretching into the river, Fubo Hill, which is 120 meters long, 60 meters wide and 213 meters in elevation, stands solitarily in the northeast of the city and west bank of Li River. Waves run back wherever they meet the blocks, hence it got the name. With this hill, you can see lots of statues of Buddha left about 1000 years ago in the Returned Pearl Cave and have birds' eye view of the whole city after climbing up to the very top.

Reed Flute Cave is 5 kilometers away from the city center and famed as "A Natural Palace of Art", in which you can see lots of stalactites & stalagmites illuminated by the lights of different colors and learn how they were formed. Got its name by the reeds used for making flutes and pipes growing at its entrance, the Reed Flute Cave is in fact a cave on the southern shoulder of the Guangming Hill (Bright Hill).

Longsheng County is 90kms northwest to Guilin, where lives many different ethnic minority groups such as Zhuang, Yao, Miao and Dong etc. The ancestors of these minorities started to cultivate the lands on the mountains hundred of years ago, leaving almost 66 square kilometers terraced rice fields in southeast of Longsheng, of which the terraced fields in Heping village called as "Longji" in Chinese show a picture of great momentum and imposing beauty, being reputed as "unrivalled in the world".

Longji in Chinese means "Dragon's Backbone". When climbing to the top of it and looking down at the nearby terraced rice fields, you will have the feeling that you are standing on the dragon's back as the terraced rice paddies look like the shining scales of the dragon.

Towering over Lijiang's west bank, Folded Brocade Hill lies in the northern part of Guilin city. The name is derived from its queer-looking rocks which are broken horizontally. There are many charming scenes such as Diecai Pavilion, Diecai Archway, Windy Cave and Cloud-catching Pavilion scatter on the hill.
