Guilin
“The Most Scenic Place Under Heaven”
When even the locals call a city “the most scenic place under heaven” you know it has to be special, and Guilin is!
Just the names evoke a city with a magic all its own—Elephant Trunk Hill, Reed Flute Cave, Seven Star Park, Folded Brocade Hill.
With strangely shaped Karst limestone peaks dominating the landscape, bamboo groves and the beautiful Li River at your feet, Guilin is an experience you shouldn’t miss. And as an exchange faculty to Guilin University of Electronic Technology, you don’t have too!
