Travelers outside China may know Guilin/Yangshuo, but few people know the name of Guangxi. As a matter of fact, Guilin is only a prefecture-level city under the administration of Guangxi. Officially Guangxi is called Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, which means it is a major habitat for ethnic people, especially Zhuang. Located in the southern part of China, The autonomous region is bordered by Yunnan to the west, Guizhou to the north, Hunan to the northeast, and Guangdong to the east and southeast. It also shares the borders with Vietnam in the southwest and has a short coastal line along Beibu Gulf (Gulf of Tonkin) in the south.
The widely distributed limestone formation made Guangxi a spectacular type of landscape, known as karst topography. Its typical examples lie in the north part of the region, especially the area of Guilin and Yangshuo, where has been one of the most attractive destinations in China. The neighboring places like Longji Rice Terraces of Longsheng county, Bajiaozhai National Geopark of Ziyuan county and Dong villages of Sanjiang county are also worth exploring, an ideal chance to observe the spectacular views and experience the culture of ethnic groups: Zhuang, Yao and Dong.
Fewer international travelers go to other parts of Guangxi, except the area of Southern Guangxi near Vietnam. There are some emerging destinations good for the selection of foreign tourists. In 2016 Zuojiang Huashan Rock Art Cultural Landscape was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list, where the ancestors of Zhuang painted the pictographs on the riverside cliff to illustrate their life and rituals around the 5th -2nd century BC. You can also take boat to Weizhou Island of Beihai city to watch wild sea dolphins and savor live seafood, or explore the Detian Waterfall on the border with Vietnam, the largest transnational waterfall in Asia. Not far from Detian Waterfall, Tongling Grand Canyon of Jingxi County and Mingshi Rurality Scenic Area of Daxin county are both worth exploring, especially for those who love nature and peaceful rural area.
