Good one, Terry. It made me look up the formation of karst mountains: https://theculturetrip.com/asia/china/articles/how-were-guilins-magical-mountains-formed/

China has such magnificent and varied landscape. I would love to see it in person. For now? Maybe I will watch Crouching Tiger , Sleeping Dragon again, just for the landscape. Perhaps you have other movies to recommend?

Such a wonderful virtual tour .

This reminds me of my first sight (virtually) of the Dolomites in Italy - so Disney-esque.

Thanks, Terry!

I felt the same way when I landed in Guilin. I marveled that the landscape was real!

Very cool. I love that both images have so much in common, in addition to the mountains -- the fluffy trees, the water running along the bottom, and even the tiny people in your image.

As one who loves mountains, I found these two just wonderful. And a welcome testament to the mountains' reality.

Hard to believe those mountains exist. And your photo looks more like a painting than the painting!

At first I thought the photo was the painting and the painting was the photo -- then I thought they were both paintings...! it really took a while for my brain to accept that the image on the right was photography!! :)
