You step off the plane and the air smells of river and wet limestone; karst peaks rise like ink-blot sketches against a pale Guangdong sky. A private car eases through Guilin’s low-rise grid, and within hours you’re sliding along the Li River on a four-star cruise, the water daring you to keep your camera in its case.
