In the whole Guilin tourism circle, government takes the municipal area as the center, sub-central areas including Yangshuo County and Xing’an County. L River hundred miles natural gallery and Guiyang Road /Guihuang Road hundred mile cultural corridor are two golden tourism belt of Guilin.

 

The typical karst landform in Guilin gains a reputation as “the capital of karst landform” in the world. Guilin karst scenes can be summarized into four words – elaborate hills, clean rivers, quiet caves, and fancy stones.

 

Rising sharply at odd angles, limestone peaks look like giant teeth growing out of the green plain. Karst topography is characterized by many caverns and sinkholes that form by the dissolution of limestone or other carbonate rocks. Florida and Virginia's Shenandoah Valley are good examples of where karst can be found in the United States. However, the topography looks completely different from that in China, thanks to conditions that exposed China's karst and eroded its softer limestone faster. The specific conditions for forming the magnificent topography of Guilin "are fourfold," according to Ray Beiersdorfer, a geologist at Youngstown State University in Ohio. "First, you need hard, compact carbonate rock. In Guilin, it's Devonian limestone. Secondly, you need strong uplift, in this case provided by the collision of India with Asia to form the Himalaya. Third, you need a Monsoon climate of high moisture during the warmest season. Finally, the area must not have been scoured by glaciers, which this region wasn't."
