Glimpses of Guilin

Had to flee the cold, dry and grey Xi'an soon after the exams, hoping to enjoy a warmer weather down south.  However, we seemed to carry the cold wave and haze and fog with us as we arrived at Guilin.  The cruise along the Li river did not give us the scenery we had expected but it was still something to cherish.  Take a glimpse, if you will.  Hope to give you glimpses of Yangshuo which is much better than what you see here now.  Watch this space!
karst mountains reflected on the foggy Li river
Ah, the rafts!
Guilin city, behind the scene
A fisherman and his obedient and reliable cormorants

The Elephant Trunk Hill actually looks like an elephant
