Off the ship and on to Guilin

Uncategorized 1 Minute

A high speed train took us to Guilin for a short two night visit. The train ride itself was very impressive…. fast, quiet, and smooth. The Li River is a beautiful river in mountainous terrain. We also visited the Reed Flute Cave.

The train station in Shenzen was a zoo! Never seen a crowd like this waiting to get on a train.
Waiting for our train
306km/h equals 190 miles per hour!! It was smooth and quiet. No seat belts required and people were walking around without any difficulty!!
The sensation of speed was noticed!! A blur when bushes and trees were close to the track.
Comfortable seats on the train. Our ride took 3 hours. It would have been 11 hours by bus!
Inside the Reed Flute Cave. The colored lights and music made it look more like a Disney Land ride.
Some interesting stalactites and stalagmites. Big problem for us seniors….. no handrails, wet steps, steps cut in the rock and they were uneven, slanted, and not standard height. At times it was so dark it was hard to see the steps. We persevered and nobody fell!🤣🤞
We took a 3 hour boat ride on the Li River. Beautiful scenery and a nice lunch. It was great that it was air conditioned as the air temp was 93 degrees!!
It was a nice ride on the river and we were one of many boats in a conga line going downstream. It felt a little like a Disney ride.
Very comfortable air conditioned cabin
Big boats and little boats!!! Lots of boats!!
