Li Xiao said with a smile: "It must be extremely beautiful. However, this natural beauty cannot be painted. Only by experiencing it in person can you appreciate its charm."
After swimming in the Li River, the two of them were also hungry. They decided to try Guilin's specialties. On the recommendation of the locals, they came to a rice noodle shop.
