The most beautiful thing about Guilin? The people.

The most beautiful thing about Guilin? The people. In the Huangluo Yao Village, I met women with hair so long it touches the ground—they only cut it once in their lives! But beyond the tourist side, it’s the elderly men playing chess in the parks and the ladies doing Tai Chi by the Two Rivers and Four Lakes at dawn. There is a deep, quiet pride in their heritage here. They live in the most beautiful place on Earth, and they know it. It’s a culture that values harmony with the land, and you can feel that balance everywhere you go.
