Hiii Everyone,
I got some intresting information about Guilin And Lijiang River National Park .
Guilin And Lijiang River National Park
Guilin is one of the most interesting cities in
China. It is famous for its wonderful natural monuments and situated on
the bank of Lijiang river in the Southern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous
Region. Guilin's beauty inspired people to give very poetic names to
some of the local places of interest, such as Seven Stars Park, Reed
Flute Cave, Folded Brocade Hill, and Green Lotus Peak. These are just a
few of Guilin's sights. Guilin's history dates back more than 2000 years ago and it's a city
where natural monuments intertwine with man-made structures. In the
center of Guilin there is a 152-meter high Solitary Beauty Peak (Duxiu
Feng) with 300 steps leading to its summit.
There are also ruins of a
royal complex that dates back to Ming dynasty and further to the south
there is Elephant Trunk Hill, that got its name due to its resemblance
to an elephant that drinks water.Lijiang river flowing through the city is very pure
and transparent. In the middle of the river stands Wave Subduing Hill
(Fubo Shan) with a Buddhist temple at the top. It houses unique objects,
such as a 2.5 ton bell and a kettle which can be used to cook food for
one thousand people. Guilin's name is translated from Chinese as "Cassia Tree Forest". Its limestone pillars look like a giant stone forest. Long time ago limestone stratum
that makes up the hills was accumulated at the bottom of the ancient
sea. Several millions of years later this part of Earth's crust went up
due to large earthquakes. Subsequently heavy showers and snow befell on
this region, eroding the bedrock that was already weakened by cracks and
ruptures. Later the upper limestone stratum fell off, exposing spired
limestone trunks, which are considered by modern scientists as exemplary
ancient karstic rocks. Nowadays limestone pillars of China's mountains
are stretched from the South Central China to the northern parts of
Vietnam. Cliffs, which sometimes can rise 100 meters above their base,
stand almost vertically and pressed against each other. You can see
Guilin's austere ridge tops for kilometers and kilometers away. We
had to face our first serious challenge even before we arrived to
Guilin. The fact is that new air transportation rules stipulate that you
can't transport lithium batteries in the luggage. After we checked-in
they put our suitcases through an X-ray machine and asked us to take out
the batteries. Dima and I gathered all our batteries, put them in one
bag, and went to get through the security screening. As expected, there
were some complications during the screening: according to new rules you
can't transport even one battery of such capacity, and we had 16 of
them in our bag.
Katerina, our guide,
switched on her "I can persuade anyone" mode, I took out my phone with
new panoramic photos of China and, somehow, we managed to convince the
security guys to let us on the plane with our batteries. Katya asked me
to pack everything quickly before someone from the upper management saw
our "goods".We finished shooting Guilin in the province capital
under the same name. There are two pagodas in the center of the city,
they are symbols of this place: The Sun Pagoda and the Moon Pagoda.
There is a bridge leading to one of them, and an underground tunnel
leading to the other. Unfortunately, we couldn't shoot the tunnel from
our helicopter, but you can see pagodas in a very good detail.
