Oh, so that's what humidity is...
JULY 12TH, 2018
Tai chi in the morning.
We arrived in Guilin late and took a bus to the city, but even in the dark we could make out our first views of the karst mountains and were excited to see them in daylight. We only have about a day here and decided to take it easy (relatively) and walked to Deicai Hill. On our way we walked through the park along the lake and enjoyed watching the locals do Tai chi, dance, and enjoy the beauty of the park. The rest of the walk also included us figuring out how to cross the street and discovered that the trick is to just keep walking and the cars and scooters move around you.
Of course with over 90 degree weather and probably 100% humidity we were dying by the time we made it to the hill and then had to walk up it. On the way up we passed through the wind cave which has Buddhist carving and sculptures carved into the walls.
The view from Deicai Hill, all of the humidity!
Once we made it up and realizing how much we were capable of sweating, we were greeting with incredible views of Guilin city and the karst peaks all around!
Later that night we went out and got some really good Indian food and walked past two beautifully lit pagodas.
