Guangxi Autonomous Region

If you’re coming to China and your priority is unspoiled natural beauty, you could do a lot worse than build a schedule around Guangxi in the south of the country bordering Vietnam.
This autonomous region is an outdoor lover’s paradise packed with some of China’s most beautiful mountains, rivers, forests, national parks, waterfalls and rice terraces. One could easily spend a month here hiking, swimming, cycling and bamboo rafting. And let’s not even get into the eating!
