Destination Introduction-Guilin

In the beautiful city of Guilin , 桂林 in Chinese (Guangxi Region, China, 中国广西) stands the Hotel of Modern Art (HOMA), which is located a comfortable distance from Guilin’s famous karst hills and cave formations, such as the renowned Reed Flute Cave. The pyramid-shaped hotel, a piece of modern art itself, lies within a city rich with culture and vegetation which has developed over a history of more than 2,000 years.

Guilin was first founded as a trading post, as it sits surrounded by two rivers and four lakes. Down the river from Guilin is the scenic Yangshuo, whose limestone hills and serene waters have been the subjects of many Chinese paintings, as well as inspiration for poetry. Located in a key part of Southern China, Guilin was a well-known base in the modern era of China for revolutionists and warlords, as well as numerous intellectuals. Today, resident artists continue on the tradition of culture inside the Yuzi Paradise Art Park, which is also home to the Hotel of Modern Art.
