Guilin in south China is only about three hours away by flight from Malaysia. I decided to go there recently, after seeing how beautiful the place was in a scene from the movie I by Indian filmmaker S. Shankar.

Guilin is famous for its limestone karst, picturesque landscapes and nature. You would probably need three to four days to fully explore the destination.
