Peak Of Highest Mountains In Guilin Provides Spectacular Views
I had seen the highest mountains in Guilin from the sky, as our plane from Hong Kong banked and circled to prepare for landing. A view of some of the highest mountains from ground level at the airport was also impressive, but perhaps views from the peak were the best.
A dirt track had been cut into the highest mountain which led to a new transmitter station on its peak. The panoramic views from the track were quite spectacular with the highest mountains, of those we could see, almost disappearing in the hazy distance. On a wall in front of the transmitter station was a large glazed tile screen of the Guilin Mountains in all their splendor. Some of the highest mountains rising from the mist flooded valleys below. This subject is popular with Chinese artists and poets who are better able to interpret the magic spell the highest mountains in Guilin cast on anyone who sees them. I wonder whether the local people, as they go about their daily business realize how much beauty surrounds them, or like everyone else, just take the local scenery for granted. The highest mountains in Wales attract visitors from other countries, but the views they provide are different to the views of the highest mountains of Guilin.
