The south-eastern region of Guangxi corresponds more to the cliches one has about Asia and China. Rice fields are all around and people still make use of animals to help them.
Guilin is mostly known for its fantastic landscapes of karst peaks along the river Li. The scenery is unbeliavable and the cruise on the river was a highlight of the trip.
It is also one of the last place in China where fishermen still use cormorans to fish. At night, I must say it is quite feeric to watch these birds dive and catch fish. I might have even found it romantic, where I not thinking in economics terms. And indeed, this way of fishing is only kept alive thanks to the tourists.
And then there is the local market, where one can buy many live things. The most frightening though is that doctors and dentists have stands! So patients open their mouth and get treated at the market. Good luck to them!
