If you have the chance to visit Guilin, don't miss these beautiful sights!

"Guilin's scenery is the best under heaven" is a poetic verse praising Guilin's natural beauty, meaning that Guilin's landscape is considered the most beautiful in the world. This saying comes from the Southern Song Dynasty poet Wang Zhenggong's *Quan Jia Shi · Part Two*, and the original sentence is "Guilin's scenery is the best under heaven, jade and green intertwined, the meaning can be understood." Guilin is known for its unique karst topography, the clear Lijiang River, and grotesque peaks and rocks, attracting countless tourists. Guilin's main attractions include: 1. Lijiang River: The Lijiang River boasts beautiful scenery, and taking a boat trip is the best way to experience Guilin's landscape. The section from Guilin to Yangshuo is especially renowned as a "hundred-mile painting gallery." 2. Elephant Trunk Hill: This is Guilin's landmark attraction, named for its resemblance to an elephant drinking water. 3. Yangshuo: Yangshuo's mountain and water scenery complements the idyllic countryside, and West Street is full of exotic charm. 4. Longji Rice Terraces: Located in Longsheng County, Guilin, the rice terraces cascade down the hillsides, creating a magnificent view, especially in the golden autumn.
