Guilin continued

So after all of that adventure... we booked a toor to more caves and to climb up a waterfall. It was a blast.... caves are caves.. i think i'm done seeing caves.... but the water fall was fun. We climbed up (it wasn't overly difficult) and then hiked part way down, and ziplined down. It was a lot of fun.

Having said that, I don't have TOO many pictures 'cause we were a) in caves and b) climbing up a waterfall...it's not easy to pull out a camera at that point. So instead i'll move onto the next day.

Sunday we booked a tour to the rice terrace fields. It was AMAZING!!! They drive you up to this cool village where we saw a show about the village's culture. The women in the village are only allowed to cut their hair once their entire life when they are 18. So they all have hair that drags on the ground but they tie it up in a knot on their head. Different styles mean different things like single, married, married with kids.



Then they drove us up higher up a hill that you thought could not go any higher, and you get to this cool little village in the middle of nowhere in the mountains. It's beautiful.



That night we headed to Yangshou which is one of my most favorite places. I'll include pics of yangshou in future blog entries...
