I woke up with the sound rain pouring onto the roof of the hostel. The whole day wasn’t too bad though. I went out a little later in the day, the rain stopped, and the sky was clearer. I was able to get a better look at the mountains surrounding the town and to see the fog hovering around the peaks, just like Chinese landscape paintings.<\/p>\n
After checking out of my hostel, I walked down West Street, which is like the main pedestrian street in town. I walked to the bus station to get a bus to Guilin. I saw one driving off and the conductor got me on that bus just before it left. There were no seats left, but she sat me down on a bench next to the door. It wasn’t too safe with no seatbelt and the windshield directly in front of me, but I got a good view. The hour long ride to Guilin gave me an opportunity to see how large of an area is covered by this famous scenery.<\/p>\n
