Hand-carved name-stamp in GuiLin China
Any time you see a Chinese-style painting, you will find a red stamped mark somewhere on it. This is the artist's name. They sell these stamps in about every city in China. I liked them so I got one.
First you select the stamp you like; they have many to choose from such as dragons, people, monsters, monkeys, lions, etc... The bottoms of these carved stone stamps are all blank.
You tell them your name and they will translate it into Chinese and chisel it (in reverse) into the bottom of the stone stamp. My name is Keith, which translates to QiFu. Each character is one syllable.
When they finish the stamp, they will put it in a hand made box and give you a little ceramic jar of red ink to dip the stamp in. All of this was about $10 US money.
China Tours - Guilin, China
Guilin is celebrated for its picturesque limestone mountains and the meandering Li River.
An ancient Chinese saying describes the landscape in Guilin as the best scenery under heaven.
Its misty peaks rise as suddenly from the earth as trees in a forest, they surround the city like mountains floating in an imaginary sea.
With China Spree you are never far from the action, so your beautiful hotel is located in the heart of the city on a riverside avenue of the sweet-scented trees and walkway that overlooks the Li River. It's a great place for relaxation and meditation.
This part of the country encompasses China's most famous scenic landscapes.
While in Guilin we travel to Long Sheng for an off-the-beaten-path hiking tour of the spectacular Dragon Spine Rice Terraces.
Over the centuries, the drong and Yao minorities have sculpted 2,000 foot high peaks with remarkable step-like terraces. They use the terraces for growing rice. This transformation over time has created landscapes of utility as well as immense beauty.
In Spring, when the terraces are full of water, they resemble irregular silver ladders; and in autumn, when the rice ripens, the mountains turn into golden waves.
Visit the unique culture of local minorities and their villages where life has remained unchanged for thousands of years. We are able to hike between the villages following tiny stone paths carved out by the local people. This memorable journey is rarely included in the conventional itinerary.
A beautiful day waits! After breakfast, you take a scenic ride through the countryside, passing lush green fields and rice paddies, to reach the Bamboo River pier, where you embark on a memorable cruise down the picturesque Li River. The 40-mile trip has countless twists and turns and the scenery is reminiscent of classical Chinese landscapes—bamboo groves, sleepy villages, fishermen on bamboo rafts, cormorants, water buffalo, soaring karst pinnacles and mist shrouded peaks... your cruise concludes at Yangshuo, a rural town, amidst a haunting and surreal setting.
Time permitting you will have free time to explore this fascinating town on your own, followed by a tour on tuk-tuk to visit local farmers' fields and homes. Yangshuo's landscape of limestone hills, rice fields and lazy rivers is the very image of rural China, and ride on a tuk-tuk through this much-painted landscape provides a great way to experience the dramatic countryside, ancient villages and bustling local markets in a very intimate way.
Traveling back to Guilin in the late afternoon, en route, we will make photo stop to shoot signature sceneries of the countryside
If time permits, you will tour the Reed Flute Cave, nature's subterranean wonder filled with stalactites and stalagmites. Its name comes from the verdant reeds growing outside that are used to make flutes. The grand chamber known as the Crystal Palace, is an awesome spectacle.
Guilin, Reed Flute Cave - China Travel Channel
The Reed Flute Cave, also known as Ludi Cave, is 6 km northwest of Guilin in the Mountain of Light. The cave was discovered in the Tang Dynasty (618-906) and received its name when children carved the reeds at the entrance to flutes. The Reed Flute Cave is 240 m deep and on the 500 m on the long path the visitors can admire colorfully lit rock formations, stalagmites and stalactites.
In the Chinese style, every stone has some interpretation; here for example we have the Statue of Liberty from New York. We are certain, however, that it was not around when the cave was created. The so-called Crystal Palace of the Dragon King is a grotto with space for 1000 people.
The very large, colorful lit stalactite cave, which still looks very natural, is one of the tourist attractions of Guilin in the Autonomous Region Guangxi, China.

Die Schilfrohrflötenhöhle (Ludi-Yan - 芦笛岩) liegt 6 km nordwestlich von Guilin im Berg des Lichts.
Die Höhle wurde in der Tang Dynastie (618-906) entdeckt und erhielt ihren Namen von dem Schilfrohr vor dem Eingang aus dem die Kinder Flöten schnitzten. Die Schilfrohrflöten-Höhle ist 240 m tief und auf einem 500 m langen Weg können die Besucher farbig beleuchtete Felsformationen, Stalagmiten und Stalaktiten bestaunen.
Jeden Stein hat in China zugleich seine Interpretation. Hier ist es die Freiheitsstatue von New York. Wobei wir uns sicher sind, dass diese zum Zeitpunkt der Entstehung der Höhle noch nicht existierte. Der sogenannte Kristallpalast des Drachenkönigs ist eine Grotte, die Platz für 1000 Personen bietet.
Die sehr große, bunt ausgeleuchtete Tropfsteinhöhle, die aber in natura nicht kitschig wirkt, ist eine der Touristenattraktionen von Guilin im autonomen Gebiet Guangxi, China.

The steep hillsides of the Dazu area contain an exceptional series of rock carvings dating from the 9th to the 13th century. They are remarkable for their aesthetic quality, their rich diversity of subject matter, both secular and religious, and the light that they shed on everyday life in China during this period. They provide outstanding evidence of the harmonious synthesis of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.

1914년 난닝으로 성도가 옮겨가기 전까지 구이린은 중국 남부의 중심도시였다. 구이린의 3대산 중 하나인 푸보산. 푸보산 입구에는 한나라 때 이 지역 사령관이던 마웬장군의 동상이 서있다. 베트남과 전쟁 중에 마웬장군이 쏜 화살이 바위산을 뚫고 베트남까지 날아갔단다. 푸보산 아래에는 석회암 지하 동굴이 뚫려 있는데 강변으로 연결되어 있다. 천장에 매달린 큰 종유석 바위가 눈에 띈다. 마웬장군이 칼을 시험하기 위해 내리쳐서 밑둥이 잘려 나간 거란다. 그런데 사람들은 왜 바위 틈새로 주먹을 집어넣고 있는 걸까? “뭐하고 있냐고요? 제 아들이 대학에 붙게 해달라고 빌고 있어요.“ “소원을 빌고 있어요. 이 돌은 장원석이거든요. 원래 이 돌은 아래 위가 연결돼 있었는데 주먹을 끼워서 아래 위가 딱 맞게 이어지면 장원급제를 할 수 있대요. 요즘으로 치면 대학에 합격한다거나 출세를 하게 되는 거죠.“ 동굴 벽면엔 불상이 새겨져 있는데 당나라 때 만들어진 것이라 한다.
