Guilin

Guilin is a small city in Guangxi province.  It is surrounded by the mist-shrouded limestone mountains that have become one of the archetypal images of China.  The city itself is home to quite a few peaks, parks, and caves -- not mention tourists, and all things that prey on tourists.

Locals playing cards in the park: the retirement activity of choice

 

Some tourists, no doubt wishing they had called one another before getting dressed that morning
