General Information:
Guilin is known as China's most picturesque city. It is located in the northeastern part of the Autonomous Region of Guangxi province. Several crystal-clear rivers meander through the town, which is encircled by mountains with bizarre rock formations and caves. This landscape was formed over a period of some 200 million years, when the sea still reached this far inland. Layers of muschelkalk (chalk formed from fossilized shells) were deposited; then the earth's crust was formed; and, finally, the chalk stratified and was shaped by wind and water to produce vast numbers of caves. All this makes Guilin a unique natural experience. For hundreds of years, poets and painters have been fascinated by the sheer splendor of the scenery, about which many fairy tales and legends have been woven.
History:
Founded during the Qin Dynasty over 2,000 years ago, prospered in Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) and Sung Dynasty (960-1279 AD), flourished in Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD) and Qing; used to be the Provincial capital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
Travel:
By Air: At present, Guilin Airport accommodates over 50 airlines, many of which provide direct flights to several cities within China, such as Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Xi'an, Kunming, and Chengdu. By Rail: All major cities in China can be reached by train from Guilin. The new passenger railway station now under construction will be equipped with a lobby large enough to hold 15,000 people. By Road: Guilin is accessible by highway from all directions. Plans are underway to construct a superhighway from Guilin to Wuzhou. After completion of this superhighway, the distance between Guilin and the Zhujiang River Delta, Hong Kong, and Macao will be shortened significantly.
Cuisine:
Guilin is famous for its exotic dishes and the sight of dogs, birds, turtles, snakes and other weird and wonderful animals in their cages is not unusual here! Don't be afraid though, if you are not feeling especially brave, there are plenty of tasty options for those who prefer their food to be dead before it arrives at the table!. Guilin cuisine is also typified by its sweetness and delicate use of spice and chili. Bamboo leaves stuffed with sweet rice are a great Guilin snack available all over the city and also in some of the restaurants. The city also has some fine up-market restaurants where you can sample typical local dishes. The Guilin Hotel Restaurant has a nice environment to sample some of this food and the Chicken Balls with chestnut are especially good here.
