Guilin Tourism

After 1949, Guilin was perhaps the first city of China to develop tourism. For decades, the textbooks of children had only one name whenever there was a mention of the best landscape under heaven and that was Guilin. It happened to be the darling of the Chinese politicians and was the star city which was proudly presented for a visit by the dignitaries. At present, the natural endowments of the city will still mesmerize however given the impact of imperfect urban planning, you will have this pervasive feeling that the city is now past its prime.

No matter which part of Guilin you are out exploring, you are more or less likely to spend a night or two here. It is one of the most comfortable and relaxing place to plan a trip to the rest of the province. The city is chic, modern and clean which a high percentage of English speaking locals so communication here will never be a hassle. However, what really is a bigger challenge here is that you have to put up with the touts here. Admission fee in most of the places is another big hassle.
