Guilin, Guangxi province

Guilin is one of the most famous travel destinations in China thanks to the surrounding country. Unfortunately, low visibility frequently prevents people from appreciating it fully.

Longsheng, Guangxi province

I had to wait until Longsheng to finally find a street restaurant selling my favorite dumplings.

Hills around Longsheng are really steep and collecting wood is no easy task.

Some Chinese tourists like to be carried around the steep hills. By the end of the day, it is time to rest for the porters.
