Guilin was my favorite city in China--just for its sheer beauty. We also visited the Pearl Museum where they taught us that Seawater pearls only contain one perfectly round pearl per oyster. Just a little b.t.w., I can tell you if a pearl is fake or real now. I'm like a pro. Freshwater oysters contain up to 10 pearls but there are a random mix, usually they are not perfectly round.
Clinton gave his famous speech at Camel Hill. Elephant Hill is a major attraction in Guilin, for everything made of stone is very popular. The numbers 6 & 8 mean wealth and good fortune will come to you.
A) I learned that China uses its unique environment and natural surroundings to represent itself in a political, national, and global stage--hence why Clinton chose Camel Hill for his speech location.
B)China does alot to show off their uniqueness to everyone; therefore, that in itself shows that China is proud of there natural wonders and are willing to show/share it with others.
C) The caves trully reminded me of Carlsbad Caverns patterns and such. They enjoy beautiful scenary just as we do. The lights of Guilin. They respect everything.
D)I learned to appreciate how much work, time, and effort it takes to preserve something of historical importance or natural beauty.
