Conditions last updated 20:15 local time
Guilin's karst limestone peaks along the Li River create a landscape of hills and river fog that's genuinely photogenic at sunrise — but that same river-valley humidity means low cloud and mist are common in early morning, generally clearing by mid-to-late morning. Spring and early summer bring the region's main rainy season.
