Re: Hangzhou(杭州) or Guilin (桂林)
never been to Guilin but to Hangzhou. Is definitely a place full of good scenery.
The chinese saying 上有天堂下有苏杭。Hangzhou is one of the places for scenery, attractions n legends. Most of attractions are near to XiHu(西湖). like 雷峰塔, 岳飞tombs, 济公temples, alot of famous gardens like 三潭映月, etcs. you can stroll along XiHu or paddle a sampan boat in the evening watching sunset, listening to local folks singing n enjoying their lives. If you r into photography is a best place to take beautiful scenery. But if i remember correctly there is no direct flight from spore.
cheers.
