The Shangri-La Park is a scenic garden that embodies the idea of Utopia. Its Mandarin name literally translates to "Peach Springs from beyond this world" and is an expression used to describe an unspoiled natural area of immeasurable beauty. Indeed, the place lives up to its name – it is a paradise surrounded by jade green waters and lush willow trees that exudes an air of heavenly serenity. Shangri-La Park is about 50km from central Guilin, and at the entrance, you will have the option to either explore via a boat ride or on foot. The former offers you a comfortable overview of the area and gives you an idea of how travelers would approach the gardens in the past. On the other hand, if you go on foot, you will be able to enjoy the park at your own comfortable pace and give your fullest attention to all its glorious beauty in every minute detail.
