8d 7 n guilin and etc

At the end of each year i take a beak and give myself a treat for working hard. I usually go for a well deserved holiday and like to go to a place where i have never been before. Well since i have had formed a good friendship with my new found friend, well i had a chance to visit China for the first time in 2009. Well i was well planned  and had already made the inquiries to visit Phuket and was about to make the payment when i got an email from a my friend - the sifu of the whole gang. Well he told me about his trip and invited me to follow them on the tour. So bye bye phuket and hello Guilin.

First thing i did upon knowing my destination is of course google it, i mean, where the hell is Guilin? I have heard of Shanghai and Beijing but Guilin. Well had to keep a clear head about it and let's go with the flow.

So my friend did all the arrangement for me ( Thanks mr teoh) and also getting my visa sorted out. I only had to be there on time and make sure that i am early. Well let just say i was there before time. Well as we meet up at LCCT, and met up with the rest of the gang.

So imagine me going with 14 Chinese and one "singh". Even our local tour guide was surprise with me going with them. Well so the adventure began...so to speak..

Upon arrival we were met by our local Chinese beautiful tour guide. Yeah she was really preety. Well
you can see the beautiful pic of Guilin especially the elephant Hill

Well some other place which were nice to visit were,


!) West Street

2) Yushan Park
3) Xing' An Merryland
4) Silver Cave
5) Li River
6) Longsheng Terraced Field.


Well i really had a nice time at Guilin, even bought some chopper for my mom and of course Chinese Tea which was really good . If you want to a scenery and cool atmosphere with lots of good food, Guilin is a right place to head. It is laid back atmosphere is really nice.
One should not forget to go for the Dream Like Li Jiang Show which i found to be nice and exciting. Well the show really highly recommended but the highlight of the whole visit to Guilin was the stunning performance at "Impression Lui Sanjie"which was just "out of this world" Of all the performance which I have seen over my travel, this is the best. The director is said to have been the same person who also was involve with the Olympic at China, i mean the opening ceremony. Oh well. the show used the river, the hills and other natural elements in the show and had at least 200 people performing at one given time. REALLY Amazing.

Well if you want to go and visit Guilin, i hope that my notes and places has helped you in your reference.
