China has become my most favorite destination for I have traveled to China every
year since 2004 and many more places I want to visit in the near future. My latest
journey was to Guilin, this small but beautiful city is one of the most famous
tourist spots in China that many famous leaders such as former US President, Bill
Clinton, has already visited and witnessed its beauty.
Guilin is located in Guangxi State, South of China, as known as, “City of Beautiful
Mountain, River and Cave.

Longji Terraced Fields, located on high mountain
with highest spot of terraces at 1,180 meters
above sea level covering the area of 71.6 sq.km.,
this, so called “The Uniqueness under Heaven, is
considered one of the biggest terraces in the
world.
The two main scenic views are “Jinkeng Terraced
Fields and “Ping’an Terraced Fields. The wonderful terraces have beautiful
names caused by their formation shapes such as “Seven Stars Accompanying
Moon or “Nine Dragons and Five Tigers.
Along side of these “ladder to heaven walkways, there are Yao and Zhuang
villages where people there,living from generation to generation for several
hundred years.
Lijiang River, is well known not only for Chinese
tourists but tourists from all over the world have
been visited here. The cruise trip along the river is
the idea of getting the whole beautiful river and
mountain combination views. With hundreds of
small hills standing next to each others creating
amazing layers that looks like a large painting.
Reed Flute Cave, named after man lived inside the
cave made flute out of reed that grew in front of
the entrance. This 200 meter-long cave is full of
spectacular stalactites in various sizes and shapes
formations. One big room inside the cave looks
like a large living room with an amazing view of
beautiful water reflection of the stalactite roof.
Sightseeing inside the cave allows you to give your free imaginations of what you
see.
