Guilin is a “small” city (current population is around 5 million) located in the Southwest region of China. It is mostly famous for the gorgeous Karst topography – typical of this area.
If you’re wondering what is the best time to visit Guilin – it is normally from April to October. Though it will be mostly hot and humid, since this region has a subtropical climate, with frequent rainfalls.

These two weeks are some of the busiest in a year, when a lot of locals have their annual vacations.
