chinese calligraphy

Another day in Guilin, I walked to Seven Peak Park in the morning, a park dating back to the Sui dynasty. Many of the locals were out practicing tai chi. I hiked up one of the peaks where a lady was practicing chinese calligraphy with a water brush on the ground. Another group of people were singing, I sat down to soak in the amazing scenery of the 7 peaks. I later took a taxi to Reed Flute Cave, a giant cave system about 15 minutes outside of town. All the caverns were colorfully lit and in the main cavern they had fog machines and lasers setup for a cheesy show.

In the afternoon, I took a bus to Yangshuo. As we made the 1.5hr journey, the bus stopped several times to pick up additional passengers. As the seats filled up, the co-driver pulled out plastic foot stools and set them in the aisle for people to sit, the bus was packed like a can of sardines.
