Guilin (Part2) pictures only, no stupid narrative.


I will say that they are really into hills that are shaped like stuff. See a hill shaped like a llama below.

Guilin (Part1)

Guilin is a city in the South China. Being there makes you feel like you're a part of a Chinese ink painting, or like you're on the film set of "Lord of the Rings"... just kidding, I wouldn't know that...it's not like I own the entire trilogy or something.





We were on a 4 hour scenic boat ride, that we had to wake up at 6 AM to get there. Many of us slept. It was really scenic.















We rode these sweet rafts made out of bamboo. 








There was a raft in the middle of the lake selling roasted fish on a stick.

Suzhou and Zhouzhuang (China's own Amish Country)

Suzhou
Humble administrator's Garden.
Entrance to Zhouzhuang
It took us a long time to figure out if Zhouzhuang was a place people lived or a tourist attraction set up to look like a town. After examining the evidence, we have come to the conclusion that it is like Amish country. Even though there
 is an entrance fee to get into the town, people actually do live there  without electricity or indoor plumbing. The townspeople are trapped their until they can raise enough money to get out...just kidding...maybe.

Bread shop.
Iced Hulus. Lollipop freak of natures/ the Chinese version of a candy apple
