Guangxi is far more than its one famous postcard. Yes, Guilin's karst is everything the poems promise — and it has its own HelloChina handbook — but the region beyond is a whole other journey: a waterfall that thunders on the Vietnamese border, terraced hills carved by Zhuang and Yao farmers, a longevity county in the mountains, Dong villages of timber bridges, and a warm blue gulf with a volcanic island in it. This guide loops the south and west from Nanning, the laid-back green capital.
