20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Guilin

Captured from the top of Xianggong Mountain of Guilin, China in 2019. There is a famous Chinese saying that "Guilin has the finest landscape under the sky." The rare combination of karst mountains, green hills, and windy rivers, resembles a beautiful Chinese ink painting. It had been raining heavily and luckily the sky opened up briefly showing us the splendour of Guilin.
