text: At Canton I had another trip to make before returning to the United States. I was to fly to Kuei-lin. Kuei-lin had been famous for more than a thousand years for its unusual natural scenery of hills and water. It is situated in the southwest of China's Kwangsi Chuang Autonomous Region. As its scenery had been so well described in many poems since the T'ang and Sung periods, of the seven to thirteenth centuries, I, like thousands of Chinese youngsters who read those poems, had longed to visit it in my young days but never had the opportunity, for it was so far away from my home city. I therefore grasped this chance and asked to have at least two days reserved for the trip.
