A Quiet Sense of Trust in Guilin

• Sometimes, what stays in memory is not the scenery, but the feeling of being trusted.

*What impressed me most in Guilin was renting an electric scooter for only five dollars. There was no deposit and no registration required, which felt surprisingly warm and human. *

*Compared with many other cities in mainland China, this simple trust greatly improved the travel experience. Riding freely along the river, passing limestone hills and quiet villages, I felt less like a tourist and more like a temporary local. *
