Suggs Visit Part III: Guangxi Region of China

After a fun week in Hong Kong with Tracey, the 4 of us headed for 5 days in mainland China. We went to the Guangxi region to Guilin primarily. It was only about a 1.5 hour flight away which was nice. We stayed in Guilin most of the time but also ventured out to Yangshuo and Longsheng (more details in the sections below).

Guilin is a thriving city in China with 1.34 million residents. They get over 10 million tourists each year (mostly from China and other countries in Asia). The city is very developed, but still maintains some of it's original character. Pictures below include our sightseeing in Guilin, our river cruise to Yangshuo, a tour of a small village outside Guilin, tour of a local tea farm, and the Reed Flute cave.
