July 2, 2012 - China, Day 7

Our one full day in the Guilin area was a long one! We started off bright & early on a cruise down the Li River for some of the most beautiful scenery you could ever hope to see. The rolling green hills along the riverbanks are a unique example of Karst topography and seem dream-like in their abundance. An actual place along our cruise is featured on the back of the 20 RMB note - very cool.

Other highlights from the day

  • Visit to a farmer's house in the village of Yangshuo
  • A foot massage
  • Beer Fish dinner at local restaurant with our guide, Louise
  • "Impressions" light show (a spectacular light-show-thingy on the banks of the river from the guy who put together the Beijing Olympics' opening ceremony)
