【正确答案】：Guilin-The Most Beautiful City in My mind
In China, there’s a saying that "The landscape of Guilin tops that of any other place under heaven." In light of this, I will introduce Guilin, which is the first destination of my suggestion of a trip in China, to all of you.
Overlooking the Li Jiang River, Guilin is located in the northeast of Guangxi. The name was derived from the cassia trees (桂树)of the location. The trees line the streets of the town with yellow flowers blossoming every September, filling the air with sweet scent. Guilin is a place of breath-taking scenery.
From ancient times, Guilin has been noted for its elegant landscape. It features beautiful mountains, clear rivers, grotesque （奇形怪状的）rocks and mystic crags（峭壁）, which is a feast for the eyes（视觉盛宴）. Sitting on a bamboo raft drifting down the river, visitors can see the varied shapes of the pinnacles（尖塔）reflected in the water. They will feel as if they were in a scroll of Chinese landscape painting.
Due to its beautiful scenery, I regard Guilin as the most beautiful city in my mind.
