Compare to other province, Guangxi is kind of an undeveloped one, but because of that, Minority groups in Guangxi still keep their tradition very well. Weather in Guangxi is really good all the time, not cold in the winter and you can see green landscape and eat all kinds of fruits all over the year. Even cycle in the rain, you never feel cold. Karst shows you a picture like Chinese traditional painting all the time, the Rice terrace and Dong people’s building will impress you as striated line drawing. Even on the American magazine “outside”, editors gave a suggestion of cycling in Guangxi.
Highlights:
1, Karst landscape
2, Li River
3, Cave
4, Dong people’s culture: dancing, singing, architecture
5, Rice terrace
6, Bamboo rafting
