Guilin is nestled in the northeastern part of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, southern China. Surrounded by karst mountains and crisscrossed by the Li River, it’s often called a "living ink painting" due to its dreamy landscapes. The city sits at the edge of the Hunan-Guangxi Corridor, bordering Hunan Province to the north and Guangdong Province to the southeast, making it a strategic cultural and transportation hub for centuries.
