GUILIN, CHINA

Guilin is the moist, semi-tropical mountainous region of China. Guilin is known as the land of the "finest misty limestone mountains and rivers under heaven." Here we find China's most "Chinese" scenery, the familiar subject of thousands of paintings.

FLOATING ON THE LI RIVER

We are aboard a local river craft that was used for the visit of President Clinton just three months earlier.  We took the same route and cruised the Li River, passing humped limestone peaks, fishermen astride bamboo rafts, washerwomen squatting on the shore, and water buffalo ambling down to the banks for a dip. Here we saw the captive cormorants with their leashed necks, perched on rafts waiting for orders to go fishing. These are the celebrated scenes often seen in Chinese watercolors and scroll paintings.

We ended our river cruise in the market town of Yangshuo, producer of China's most famous inventions - tea and silk.
