Guilin is regarded in China as the country’s most picturesque city and ranks second on China’s list of the 10 best tourist destinations. Two crystal-clear rivers meander through the city, which is encircled by mountains with unusual and bizarre rock formations and caves.
Guilin’s first inhabitants arrived during the Qin Dynasty over 2,000 years ago. The city was named after the fragrance of Osmanthus tree, which is native to the area. Guilin prospered and flourished in Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing Dynasties under the patronage from succeeding Emperors. It is currently home to 12 ethnic nationalities with a total population of 1,260,000 in the city and surrounding area.
