  • I couldn't agree more! My company LetsdoChina.com run a number of tours to China. Guilin would have to be one of the most beautiful regions you can visit. I believe the Impression Sanjie Liu show is one of the most magnificent and unusual productions you'll ever see. The stage is set on the Li River and involves over 500 local minority people in a wonderful production depicting the life & times of the people in this region of China. Why is it a must see? Its producers are the same people who masterminded the 2008 Beijing Olympics opening & closing ceremonies - so imagine what you can expect! I won't spoil the excitement other than say you simply must see the show if you are in Yangshuo & Guilin. Please feel free to browse through our China Tours, Yangtze River Cruises and China Travel Deals to see China the LetsdoChina.com way !
