桂林和李

度蜜月的亮点在1999年访问桂林并通过漓江流域巡航。我的妻子是一个土生土长的中国和她的大半生在南宁、桂林南边的,她是一所中学的校长。我们在桂林呆了3天。必须看到/做事是城市公园/花园,比如象岩石和七云高峰。他们都是漂亮美丽的景观和观点。筏搭车从竹木筏。我们连接的gondola-style为2元一个小时(当然,你必须讨价还价的价格)。参观大学,特别是工艺品商店,它是许多伟大的交易。大学也频繁了。我们看见一个民族庆祝舞蹈、音乐和故事从几个中国的58个民族。 We also met several students and professors who spoke good English. One of them offered to guide us around the area in exchange for a chance to work on and improve his English -- a great deal!! Guilin is an artist haven because of the world renowned beauty of the hill surrounding the river. Many shopping areas offer great opportunities to buy beautiful carvings, paintings and other wonderful souvenirs -- (dicker hard). Of course, the highlight of the visit is the boat ride through the hills. It is a wind, rain and river water carved valley of awe inspiring beauty. This is the trip China took US President Clinton on for the natural scenic part of his visi t in 1998 -- a pretty hefty recommendation. It frequently appears on lists of the 10 Most Beautiful Places on Earth. You can find thousand of pictures of these hills on the Internetat places like webshots.com, but one view in person in worth a million of them. The only way to describe it is to say that if Dr. Seuss was given a chance to design the landscape of a place, this is probably close to what he would have done. On the return bus ride, they usually stop at some caves, which are loade d with beautiful structures.
