Guilin is a feast for the eyes with its breathtaking scenery and amazing karst topography. Located in the southern China province of Guangxi Zhuang, I visited the city for a couple of days, and made several side trips to the town of Yangshuo and the Longji Rice Terraces in Longsheng. The city can be a little overwhelming with its unplanned development, and the crowds and touts that swarm its tourist spots — but it makes up for it with the amazing views of its surrounding rivers, lakes, hills and mountains. Here’s a short video I put together on my trip to Guilin with my family, thanks for watching!
