Guilin China
Guilin is a prefecture-level city in the northeast of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, situated on the west bank of the Li River, and bordering Hunan to the north. Its name means, Forest of Sweet Osmanthus, owing to the large number of fragrant Sweet Osmanthus trees located in the city. The city has long been renowned for its scenery of karst topography and is one of China's most popular tourist destinationsIn 314 BC, a small settlement was established along the banks of the Li River.
During the Qin Dynasty's (221–207 BC) campaigns against the state of Nanyue, the first administration was set up in the area around Guilin.[2]
In 111 BC, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Shi An County was established, which could be regarded as the beginning of the city.
In 507 AD, the town was renamed Guizhou.
Guilin prospered in the Tang and Song dynasties but remained a county. The city was also a nexus between the central government and the southwest border, and it was where regular armies were placed to guard that border. Canals were built through the city so that food supplies could be directly transported from the food-productive Yangtze plain to the farthest southwestern point of the empire.
In 1921, Guilin became one of the headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
In 1940, the city acquired its present name.[3][4]
In 1981, Guilin was listed by the State Council as one of the four cities (the other three being Beijing, Hangzhou and Suzhou) where the protection of historical and cultural heritage, as well as natural scenery, should be treated as a priority project
Xianju Episode 1 - Home of the Immortals and Ice swimming :)
Xianju Home of the Immortals, with a cultural heritage stretching back an amazing estimated 5-7000 years. According to recent archaeological discoveries, along with the Neolithic Tang (唐) and Hemudu (河姆渡) geographical regions; Xian Ju (仙居) represents a true encounter with the early dawn of Chinese civilization.
Xianju is also the modern center of Chinese Waxberry Alcohol production (杨梅酒). 杨梅 (waxberry) alcohol has a deceptively smooth taste- think Kool Aid with a ‘kick', but DO NOT let the delectable, smooth taste fool you. Too many glasses of 杨梅酒 will put you under the table, quicker than you can say “Hey Kool Aid!” followed by some intense worship of the proverbial porcelain god. Perhaps that's why slowed neurons on day two gave me the bright idea to go swimming in the icy cold Pujiang River (蒲江河). All captured on camera by my brother and cameraman par excellence Yu Kan.
15 years in China's hidden treasures stills seem endless. Go. Just watch out for the waxberry-laden assassin's mace! 大龙

China's Jose Rizal Square (Part 2 of 7)
During the middle of October my family and I were in China with a group, and the first stop after we landed at Xiamen, Fuzhou was the Jose Rizal Square in the neighboring city of Jinjiang.
Jose Rizal is descended from Jinjiang, and as such they put a monument not unlike the one in the Philippines here.
All my dialogue is completely impromptu.
