While the Guilin region is known for being a hot tourist destination for travelers from around the world, it is also well-known for the agriculture of the region.

The water buffalo is the most important farm animal for these farmers and you will see them working in the field and rice paddies as you explore the lush countryside. The water buffalo is used to till the field and well as a beast of burden. These docile animals graze contentedly along the paths and roads and bath in the waters of the many creeks and steams.
