Guilin – A Beautiful City in China
In China, there's a saying that "The landscape of Guilin tops that of any other place under heaven." In light of this, I will recommend Guilin as the first destination of my foreign friend's trip to China.
Overlooking the Li Jiang River, Guilin is located in the northeast of Guangxi. The name was derived 1 from the cassia trees of the location. The trees line the streets of the town with yellow flowers blossoming every September, filling the air with sweet scent 2.
Guilin is a place of breath-taking scenery. From ancient times, Guilin has been noted 3 for its elegant landscape. It features beautiful mountains, clear rivers, grotesque 4 rocks and mystic crags, which is a feast for the eyes. Sitting on a bamboo raft drifting down the river, visitors can see the varied 5 shapes of the pinnacles 6 reflected in the water. They will feel as if they were in a scroll 7 of Chinese landscape painting.
I believe that my foreign friend will marvel 8 at the unparalleled beauty of Guilin.
