Guilin - A Roadside Scene

A young couple strolling through a field, beside the main road to Guilin. The Karst Limestone peaks evident in the background. A charming introduction to the "Most Beautiful Place in the World".

Evidently, the mist is mostly permanent, along with the jungle and humidity. This is both a photographer's heaven and nightmare, lots of beautiful pictures to shoot and no light (not that I'm a photographer). No wonder the painters love it so much.

One other thing that is well known here is their baths with massage. I was feeling a bit congested, but Bron took a bath and massage and thought it a little slice of heaven. If you have the chance, don't miss this local custom.

There is a peak in town in a park, Solitary Beauty Peak (Duxiu Feng) where there is a staircase to the top. A good walk and view.
