Reed Flute Cave, Guilin Reed Flute Cave, Guilin We also visited the Reed Flute Cave whose caverns are illuminated with colored lights.   The first photo is a reflection in a dark pool.
Vendors at Reed Flute Cave, Guilin The vendors outside the cave were particularly enterprising.
Guilin Sheraton We stayed at the Guilin Sheraton, and it was fine, if unremarkable.  Nearby, we got a fantastic one hour foot massage.  Clinton spent a single afternoon in Guilin during his presidency, and our guide said thirty or forty people stayed at this hotel for two or three months, preparing for his visit.
