3 days Guilin & YangShuo tour
¡¡
With a history of over
1400 years, Yangshuo, located in the northest of Guangxi Zhuang
Autonomous Region and southeast of Guilin City, was founded in
the tenth year(590) of Kaihuang's regine in Sui
Dynasty(581-618A.D). It is 65 km by land but 83 km by ruver from
the Guilin urban area. The county, covering over 1400 km2, has
typical karst formations. The 63 km of the Li River that run
through it exhibits the essence of the river's scenery. Within
its borders, the natural scenery features unique karst hills,
crystal caves as well as a cultural historic heritage and folks
of diverse customs. Richly endowed by nature, it became the
first county in China open to tourists from the outside world.
Since then tourism has been rigorously promoted.
The Li River meanders through Guilin from north to south. Most of Guilin lies on the western bank of the Li River. The main artery is Zhongshan Lu, which runs roughly parallel to the river on its western side. At the southern end of this street is Guilin Railway Station. Zhoangshan Lu is a rapidly developing stretch of tourist class hotels and retail shops. The city center is dominated by the central square which is surrounded by a number of good hotels, shopping precincts and commercial buildings. Guilin is built around its two rivers and lakes that are inter-connected. Many distinctive bridges crisscross the waterways. Those who enjoy walking can spend many hours wandering the beautiful river and lakes make Guilin what it is.
