Our first stop in Guilin was the local university. From our
understanding the university has historical significance to the GuiLin
area. Unfortunately, the entire tour was in Chinese, and we were only
able to understand small pieces here and there. One of the best part
of the university though was climbing (using stairs) to the top of
central mountain. This mountain is very cool, and literally juts
straight up in the center of the city. By climbing to the top, you
are able to get a 360 degree view of the whole area. Also, at the
top, you can pay 10 yuan and wear Chinese warrior costumes…
The stairs here were very steep. Each step was only about 7 to 8 inches,
and was barely big enough for my feet. At some points you had to walk
sideways to get your foot on the step. I thought going up was the
harder part, but it turns out going down was much more intimidating.
If you lost your balance, it could be a long trip down.
