Guilin Scenic Area

Guilin's landscape has long been renowned for its "green hills, clear water, fantastic caves, and beautiful mountains".

[1][2] The region's natural scenery is characterized by its mountains, rivers, karst caves, historic sites and stone carvings.

[3] The topography of Guilin is characterized by its karst limestone formations, with mountains predominantly composed of green stone and covered by evergreen vegetation.

The caves of Guilin are karst formations, characterized by their winding paths and the presence of underground rivers that connect some of them.

[11]The image on the back of the 20-yuan note of the fifth series of Renminbi issued by the People's Bank of China features the Li River in Guilin, located in Xingping Town [zh], Yangshuo County.

"[13] Since 1997, the park has hosted eight international creative activities, with over 150 sculptures created by masters from more than 20 countries and regions worldwide.

The scientific significance of Guilin's landscape is from the concentration of the Guilin-Yangshuo type of peak forest karst landforms.
