Located in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China, Guilin is located on the west bank of the Liu River. Bordering Liuzhou to the west, Laibin to the southwest, Wuzhou to the south, and Hezhou to the southeast, Guilin is surrounded by Hunan Province to the north. A popular tourist destination known for its natural beauty, Guilin is one of the most visited cities in China with its green mountains, clean streams, fascinating cliffs and fantastic caves.

Date

B.C. In 214, QinShiHuang, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, established the Guilin Prefecture by ordering the construction of the Ling Canal. With more than 2,000 years of history, the city has become an important strategic point in southern Xinjiang, which is connected by the south coast and extends to the central plains in the north. Since the Northern Song Dynasty, it has been the political, economic and cultural center of Guangxi. Although development and booming tourism have changed the face of this beautiful city recently, Guilin has remained one of China's greenest and most scenic cities and has been named the best place after paradise. The city, which took its current name in 1940, is one of the country's cities such as Beijing, Hangzhou and Suzhou, which were taken under protection in 1981.

Places to visit

Famous for its magnificent landscapes, rivers, and karst hills covered with lush greenery, Guilin has been considered as a priority project, preserving its historical and cultural heritage and keeping its naturalness intact. It is not easy to describe the natural scenery and beauty of Guilin, a city famous for its location on the Lijang River and its historical buildings. The Guilin region is located in the south of China and has a semi-tropical climate due to its location.

Yangshuo was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2007 with its rock and hill formations, caves, lush vegetation and karst formations. The natural beauty and boat trips of the Lijang River, which is an hour away from the city, are especially famous. There are people washing clothes by the river, cattle entering the river, smiling children in all this mess, boats going between the two banks, poor but smiling people selling various tropical fruits on bamboo rafts. There are hundreds of tourists who are fond of rock climbing, mountaineering, cycling and come from thousands of kilometers to join private tours in this region.

You can take one of the dozens of boats that depart from the pier in the morning, next to the Independence Bridge in the center of Guilin, which is quite hot and humid, and cruise the river for 4-5 hours. The karst formations of the misty peaks are called the Gushing Rocks. Tiny hills resembling fairy chimneys in Cappadocia, orchards and cinnamon trees, the trip ends in Yangshuo. The city of Yangshuo used to be a hotspot for hippies, but is now struggling to cope with the tourist boom. Moreover, it is more expensive than Guilin and many places around it.

The next stop, Elephant Trunk Hill, has been considered sacred for centuries, with the appearance of an elephant dipping its trunk into the water. At the same time, Elephant Trunk Hill, which is the symbol of the city, has caves with magnificent underground views with stalagmites in different shapes. With its local life around the Lijang River, Guilin is China's most important tourist spot. In 7 Yıldız Park, there are seven hills and six caves as well as lush gardens.

The most convenient means of transportation in Guilin, which means "Osmantus Flower Forest" in Chinese, is a bicycle. There are also bicycle parking spaces to go around the rivers, cross the bridges and tour the city. Rice fields, another tourist destination around Guilin, consist of rice terraces created by villagers to farm on rough terrain.

Food & Drink and Shopping

Chinese cuisine, which is very rich, is enriched with delicious sauces and is healthy. Although at least 9 kinds of dishes come out in order on large plates, the soup is eaten last.
