Hacemos un crucero por el río Li, donde disfrutamos de un paisaje muy parecido al de la bahía de Ha-Long, en Vietnam. Saliendo desde Guilin llegamos a Yangshuo, una pequeña ciudad para mochileros en la que celebraremos el cumpleaños de Ester, que esta vez nos da a nosotros la sorpresa. Para terminar, cogemos un autobús-cama hacia Macao.

Lalashan
The route up Lalashan (Mt. Lala), County Highway 116, starts just past (east of) the village of Lower Baling, and ends far up on the mountain at the Lalashan Forest Reserve, on the way passing Upper Baling, an Atayal village. In the Upper Baling area you’ll travel along a sharp ridge, with deep mountain valleys visible on both sides in spots. “lala” and “baling” are both Atayal terms; the first means “beautiful,” the second “giant trees.”
On the way up, stop at the attractive stone-facade Lalashan Visitor Center, not far above Lower Baling, where there is text and video information (with English) on the area’s flora, fauna, and geography. Also visit the small nature center just before the forest reserve, which offers information on the reserve’s trails, biology, and geology. An entirely different world awaits in the reserve, where a marked boardwalk trail meanders 3.7km up and down the mountainside past 22 sacred trees. In this magical ancient-cypress cluster all are least 500 years young; the most senior sprouted 2,800 years ago, and the tallest soars 55m high. [Note: At time of writing the boardwalk was being rebuilt, with the main part of the area closed; phone (03) 391-2761 for enquiries about the latest status of the reserve.]
Taiwan’s “Sacred Trees”
During the Japanese era, Taiwan’s natural resources were systematically mapped and exploited. Narrow-gauge railways were built up into the rugged mountains in many places for extraction of its high-grade wood resources, and today a number remain – notably the Alishan Forest Railway – all popular tourist attractions. Fortunately, in numerous remote locations small stands of great trees escaped the axe, and these have also become popular tourist attractions, invariably either called shenmu (“sacred/divine trees”) or jumu (“giant trees”).
HeFong Villa is a B&B perched high on the Lalashan ridge above Upper Baling, Lalashan’s largest settlement, with an unobstructed view over the mountains to the west. The sunsets here are spectacular. The villa’s exterior reminds me of the big, rambling clapboard-siding farmhouses back in my home area, eastern North America. The high-ceilinged, spacious, simply furnished rooms are done in wood, chalet-style. Each has a small private fenced-in porch out front with a picnic table that has a barbecue grill fitted in the center; all needed equipment/utensils are supplied. Across the courtyard garden, stretched out along a slope with the owner-couple’s honey-peach orchard below, is a lovely wood-built viewing deck with picnic tables – a grand choice for enjoying your complimentary breakfast and a fresh-brewed coffee (NT$100) from the cute coffee/juice bar. (Rooms start at NT$2,500; Chinese breakfast included; bring your own towels.)

Furuvatn og Jerry - Pine Tree Lake and Brian in Guilin, China
Here I am at the Pine Tree Lake in the middle of Guilin in Guangxui-district of China. This is taken on my first whole day in this beautiful city and I was so lucky to meet a tour guide here called Jerry (wrongly named Brian in this video - my mistake).
After a while I had hired him as my personal guide here.
And now, I would like to recommend Jerry and his service to anyone visiting Guilin or Yangshuo in the future.
Jerry is born in Yangshuo but moved to Guilin and has lived here all his life. He knows absolutely everything about Guilin and it's surroundings.
He is 36 years old, married and they have a beautiful son (I know because I visited his home).
He is very friendly, trustworthy and capable in his profession. A 5 star guide.

Taiwan Sun Moon Lake Mt. Maolan 日月潭 猫囒山步道
Sun Moon Lake (Chinese: 日月潭; pinyin: Rìyuè tán; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Ji̍t-goa̍t-thâm; Thao: Zintun) is a lake in Yuchi Township, Nantou County, Taiwan. It is the largest body of water in Taiwan. The area around the lake is home to the Thao tribe, one of aboriginal tribes of Taiwan.[1] Sun Moon Lake surrounds a tiny island called Lalu.[2] The east side of the lake resembles a sun while the west side resembles a moon, hence the name.[3]
Sun Moon Lake is located 748 m (2,454 ft) above sea level. It is 27 m (89 ft) deep and has a surface area of approximately 7.93 km2 (3.06 sq mi). The area surrounding the lake has many trails for hiking.[1]
While swimming in Sun Moon Lake is usually not permitted, there is an annual 3-km race called the Swimming Carnival of Sun Moon Lake held around the Mid-Autumn Festival each year.[4][5]The Sun Moon Lake Swimming Carnival was launched in 1983[6] and is listed among Top 50 Open Water Swims in Asia and Top 100 Open Water Swims of the World.[7] Everyone over 10 years old and with ability to swim long distances can join, regardless of nationality.[8]In recent years the participants have numbered in the tens of thousands. Other festivities held at the same time include fireworks, laser shows, and concerts.
The lake and its surrounding countryside have been designated one of thirteen national scenic areas in Taiwan. Wen Wu Temple was built after rising water levels from building a dam forced several smaller temples to be removed.[9] Ci'en Pagoda (慈恩塔; Cí'ēn Tǎ) was caused to be built by late President Chiang Kai-shek in 1971 in memory of his mother.[10] Other temples of note include Jianjing Temple,[3] Syuentzang Temple[11] (玄奘寺; Xuánzàng Sì) and Syuanguang Temple[12] (玄光寺; Xuánguāng Sì).
Mountain View Retreat - Holiday Accommodation
Mountain View Retreat is a property not to be overlooked.
The property comprises 2 manicured acres, featuring a range of undulating hills, peppered with magnificent gardens including a range of fruit trees, lush tropical plants and bird loving native flowers.
The views from the home of the surrounding mountains are truly breathtaking.
The home was elegantly designed in conjunction with its surroundings taking into consideration the natural environment. The home has an impressive yet relaxed elegance.
The Space
Awaken to the ever changing glorious pre-dawn light. Look out for the bright red and green King Parrots that pass through every morning along with many other colourful parrots.
Plan your day or don’t plan your day – just let it evolve. You can simply sit and read a good book on the comfy outdoor deck. Refresh your mind, body and soul by enjoying a sauna, then relax in the hot tub.
Take a rainforest walk at the neighbouring Tamborine National Park, or head to Surfers Paradise to enjoy the splendour of the Gold Coast.
As the dance of the evening sky unfolds with crimson, red, purple and orange colours washing across the sky, you can cook up a storm on the Teppanyaki grill with fresh herbs and spices from the garden.
Pour a glass of wine and watch the sun go down. Dream the evening away star gazing off the deck then snuggle in one of the comfy beds for a well-deserved rest.
