Trip to Guilin

Guilin China

After weeks of bordom we decided to organise a trip to Guilin to visit some museums and parks. We aquired an annoying taxi driver who only wanted to take us where he wanted to go which was the Jade museum。Trying to explain that that was not our destination was extremely hard even with two chinese people in our party. Firstly we were taken to a park around one of the big hills which had a Buddist temple and some caves. Pretty amazing place they have statues carved out of the saligmits and as you walk down into the cave you were going through the various stages of Hell where they kill disenbowel people in very hrrible ways. I have never seen such explicit forms. Buddist monks have made the pilgrimage here for thousands of years. Then on the way out you visit the head monk for a blessing who then wanted 100 Yean off everyone. Typical.
