Guilin Mountains

Not far from the city of Guilin is a picturesque place created by nature itself – the amazing mountains of Guilin. For centuries, wind and water washed particles from the limestone rocks that were once the bottom of the sea – and as a result, rocks that look like towers and pillars appeared. Nature has given them the most bizarre forms. In height, the rocks reach an average of 100 m, some are covered with small trees, vines and orchids. In the mountains you can find caves, also created over many centuries by rainwater. One of the most famous is the Cave of the Cane Fool, in which fragile stalactites really resemble pipes. The mountains were opened for foreign tourists only in 1973.
