Best Time to Visit Piled Silk Hill
Guangxi province is a structural basin situated in the south of China’s border land. As it belongs to subtropical climate, the climate is warm and wet and rainfalls are encountered all year round. As a result, Guangxi is perfect for visiting each season. Each season has its own distinguishing feature – if you come here in summer, you miss the beauty of spring. In general, winter and early spring of Guangxi are not cold, so it is comfortable for the visitors from north China. Moreover, many local festivals take place at that time. However, the best time to see the waterfall and the Cave is summer. The scenery around the sea is at its best then as well, as in winter it is usually covered in clouds.
