Here I saw some real Guilin Culture. The item at left is actually an 'Electricity-Stealing-Product' on sell by the roadside in Guilin city. I saw 2 peoples selling this product at RMB40 each, they have a meter to show you how it work by cutting down the spinning speed of the meter. So if you have this product plug into any corner of your house then you just have to pay about 5 Dollars per month. Wow! Enjoy Guilin's culture.

At the nort part of Guilin there are some mountains where many ethnic minorities live. If you take a tour to the rice terraces you will surely see some of them.

I didn't see any kids seats on the back of the bicycles..quite often I would see a parent just walking along pushing the bike while the small child rode along.

For some reason I was really fascinated with the guys hauling furniture with the pedal operated carts. As I go through my photos I have one for almost every town. They sure work hard for their money.

In this area, fishing is done with birds! I have never seen them "in action", but we did see the small boats with the cormoranes sitting on them! Fascinating sight!
