Here are a few more shots of Gulin at night

Guilin is a town of "Two Rivers and Four Lakes" ("两江四湖").

(The Chinese do this a lot.  In the Forbidden City in Beijing the famous "7 Dragon Wall" was so named because it was a wall with 7 dragons sculpted on it.  In Xi'An the Drum Tower and Bell Tower were so named because they used to contain, respectively, a drum and a bell.  Guilin has 2 rivers and 4 lakes so they have named their town accordingly.)

These shots are along one of the rivers (and one lake) at night.
