Guilin Urban Center
A stunning aerial view of the city built directly into the towering limestone landscape.
Li River S-Bends
The winding turquoise waters of the Li River as it snakes north toward the Mao'er Mountain watershed.
Longsheng Terraces
Distant views of the famous Longji 'Dragon's Backbone' rice terraces etched into the mountainside.
Guiyang High-Rises
The modern skyline of the 'Forest City' appearing as the plane descends into the heart of Guizhou.
