Guilin

We arrived in Guilin last night. The scenery here is absolutely breathtaking. We took a slow, peaceful 4 hour cruise down the Li River, winding in and out among the karst mountains - huge pillars of limestone. The scenery on the 20 yuan bill is the same as this scene on the river!

Saw lots of straw hats, both worn and sold, along the Li River.

The water buffalo were grazing along the shoreline as well as in the water, where they were eating the river grass. Good swimmers too!
