The stunning city of Guilin is surrounded by two rivers and four lakes boasting the most beautiful scenery in the country. Limestone Karst mountains seemingly floating in the water and rolling hills blanketed by rice paddies are the characteristics of this region. Exploring exciting museums, roaming ancient streets, cruising along the river and dining on delicious authentic cuisine are just a few of the things to enjoy in Guilin.

Since the 1950's Guilin has developed industries engaged in the manufacture of electronics, engineering and agricultural equipment, medicine, rubber, and buses, as well as textile and cotton yarn factories.
