Day 17
Our final day in Guilin was spent first visiting the famous Reed Flute Caves, so named because they used to make flutes from the reeds that grew outside the caves.
The caves are huge and very impressive.

We also visited another cave where there were some Buddhist carvings. We then went and visited an art gallery and our final stop for the day was the local hospital to visit the chinese medicine clinic where we all had foot reflexology massage which was a very pleasant end to a long day of walking.
Our flight to Hong Kong wasn’t till about 7pm.

Day 18
This morning we visited the Peak catching the Peak Tram and then going up to the top of the new building which has the most sensational views of Hong Kong.
Then we went to Repulse Bay and walked about at the beach there. All the times we have been to Hong Kong we have only ever passed by Repulse Bay but never stopped there.
We spent the remainder of the day walking around HK and we visited the bird park. This evening we drove out to Aberdeen and caught a short ferry ride out to a floating restaurant called Jumbo which is quite famous and has been there since the mid 1970’s.

Our tour has officially ended but we are staying on in HK one more night before flying home. This is the final blog for this trip.
