Guangxi

Karst scenery said to be the finest under heaven, where the Li River at Guilin, the Beibu Gulf coast and the cultures of the Zhuang, Yao, Dong and Miao peoples complement one another.

The Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region lies in western South China, facing the Beibu Gulf to the south and bordering Vietnam to the southwest, with karst landforms widespread across the region. The Guilin landscape, the Li River and Yangshuo are the classic route, while the Longji rice terraces, Detian Falls and Weizhou Island in Beihai are hugely popular. Jinxiu's Dayao Mountain, the Miao villages of Rongshui, Yao culture in Fuchuan and the karst of Huanjiang showcase minority cultures and unspoiled nature, and places such as the arcades of Wuzhou, Rongxian in Yulin and Baise also have their own highlights. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit, and summer brings more rain. Nanning and Guilin are the main air gateways, and high-speed rail links South China and the southwest.
