We flew from Hong Kong to Guilin, about 500km away, and 1-hr. by air. The flight was crowded, but we once again got an exit row seat and the flight was very short. A temperature camera showed one of the girls in our group with an elevated temperature and we were delayed at immigration while they rechecked her temperature. Had it proved to be higher than they allowed (whatever that might be) we could have all been quarantined. Fortunately, another measurement was made and it proved okay, so were allowed to enter.
the landscape is unbelievable -- it is the largest concentration of limestone hill formations that look like huge burial mounds from the air, but are caused naturally by the effects of errosion. We're going to climb one of them tomorrow. The weather has improved and we should see sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-80's. We leave at 7:30am for the 2-1/2 ride to the climb.
We had a group meal at the hotel, one of the best we've had in banquet style. The dishes were all fairly hot anbd spicy, but enjoyable, especially with beer. It's now Friday night at 9:30pm and we're getting ready to call it a night. I'll post smoe pictures from tomorrow's trip as soon as I can.
