 ◆ Guilin City Hosts More Tourists

Guilin, one of China's most popular tourism destinations, hosted more than 10 million tourists this year, a record high.

Of the total, overseas tourists made up 900,000, said a local tourism official.

Guilin, a city in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in south China, chalked up 4.5 billion yuan (about US$ 542 million) in tourism revenue this year, said the official.

With a history of more than 2,000 years, Guilin is renowned for its green mountains, clear water and strangely shaped stone formations.

The city has also played host to a great number of foreign heads of states, including former American president Bill Clinton.
