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 destinations.
In 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.
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.
Background music refers to various styles of music or soundscapes primarily intended to be passively listened to. It is not meant to be the main focus of an audience, but rather to supplement that which is meant to be focused upon. Music that is played at a low volume and is not the main focus of an audience is also referred to as background music. Traditional examples of background music include music played at various social gatherings and music played in certain retail venues. It is also common to employ background music in various electronic media including film, television, and Internet videos such as video blogs.
The study of background music focuses on the impact of music with non-musical tasks, including changes in behavior in the presence of different types, settings, or styles of music. In laboratory settings, music can affect performance on cognitive tasks (memory, attention, and comprehension), both positively and negatively. Used extensively as an advertising aid, music may also affect marketing strategies, ad comprehension, and consumer choices.
China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a sovereign state in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of over 1.35 billion. The PRC is a one-party state governed by the Communist Party, with its seat of government in the capital city of Beijing. It exercises jurisdiction over 22 provinces; five autonomous regions; four direct-controlled municipalities (Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Chongqing); two mostly self-governing special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau); and claims sovereignty over Taiwan.
Covering approximately 9.6 million square kilometers, China is the world's second-largest country by land area, and either the third or fourth-largest by total area, depending on the method of measurement. China's landscape is vast and diverse, ranging from forest steppes and the Gobi and Taklamakan deserts in the arid north to subtropical forests in the wetter south. The Himalaya, Karakoram, Pamir and Tian Shan mountain ranges separate China from South and Central Asia. The Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, the third- and sixth-longest in the world, run from the Tibetan Plateau to the densely populated eastern seaboard. China's coastline along the Pacific Ocean is 14,500 kilometres (9,000 mi) long, and is bounded by the Bohai, Yellow, East and South China Seas.

Coming on a Li-river boat cruise from Guilin to Yangshuo can be a great introduction to the clear rivers and the impressive karst mountain landscape this region is famous for and a true highlight of your China trip. Particularly the middle part between Yangdi and Xing Ping is breath-taking with literally hundreds of karst peaks towering up as huge dragon teeth from both sides of the Li-river up the sky which makes one feel rather small, even on a large tour boat.

Independent travel with local guides - organised using the internet.
Christmas is a great time to travel in Mainland China. While you get time off work or school back home, it is not a public holiday in the Middle Kingdom. It is the low season with cheap prices and no crowds. It is also the time when weather is best in the southern and western parts of the country. So we packed a small backpack and got on the bullet train to the famous Guilin in northern Guangxi province. This heavily promoted region is home to many famous sights: the karst scenery around Li River, Longsheng rice terraces, caves, idyllic villages populated by ethnic minorities... It is one of the most visited places in China and recommended by travel guides as an essential part of any China itinerary. The highlight of the trip was the 6 hours hike among the Longsheng rice terraces. We s...

Just a girl with that make up
Only dressed in white flowers
Gaze about like a bird above the fields
Did she learn, did she work
To move like that, it's so nice
So how can I breathe
I'm looking for that girl with angel wings
I'm want her close to see the face
I'm looking for that girl with angel wings
I'm want her close to see the face
Out of my dreams
Just a woman so natural
Who came from nowhere
What can I say, it's lovely Miss.Bodyless
Did she learn, did she work
To smile like that, it's so nice
So how can I breathe
I'm looking for that girl with angel wings
I'm want her close to see the face
I'm looking for that girl with angel wings
I'm want her close to see the face
Out of my dreams
I'm looking for that girl with angel wings
I'm want her close to see the face
Out of my dreams
Out of my dreams
I'm want her close to see the face
Out of my dreams
I'm want her close to see the face
