Separated from the center of China and the Yangtze River basin by the Nan Mountains, Guangxi has always been distinct from the rest of China.

The shrub grows everywhere in and around the city. The name Guilin, in fact, means “forest of sweet osmanthus”.
The city is thought to be formed in 111BCE but it was not until 507CE that the town was fully distinguished. It now has a population of 1.3million people and is listed amongst the four cities in china that has special protection of its historical and cultural heritage sites (the other three are Beijing, Hangzhou, and Suzhou). In 1921, Guilin became one of the headquarters of the Northern Expeditionary Army led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
