All my trips were ended with a last minute group photo which was a mess. Not this trip where I insisted that we have it on the second day and outcome was perfect. Thanks to my little family which was so cooperative . My other passion which they would not have known- songwriting. Here is one for them. 

Impression of Guilin

We have heard of it and dreamt about, this place for a long time.

Could not have believed that we are standing here right now.

We have seen the paradise that will last this long life time

Could be here forever and enjoy the beauty of its right now.

Never have I ever imagined that  Guilin was far more beautiful at night.

Where neon lights were here and there, dim and glow,at their very best

And lovers met by the river side with moonlight romance till twilight.

Where many poets had described that, east or west, Guilin is the best.
