Day 72 - Nov 7

Guilin!! Left HKU at 4:30 AM for the MTR to the Shenzhen border and then to the airport. Got there a hour early and with no customs line at the border. After our quick flight took a bus and then got ripped off by a cab driver to get to our hostel (this might be a common theme here). Once there, we took off for the Reed Flute Caves, which are pretty incredible especially with how they use the lights to showcase the stalactites, stalagmites and the huge cavern underneath the hill. Then we took a walk up to the pagoda on top of the hill and a great view of the seemingly random mountains sticking up out of the flat lands. It's a beautiful area and while its still crowded (talking 5 million people) and still busy, it was a nice break from Hong Kong.
