Gudong Waterfall (古东森林瀑布) [Gǔdōng Sēn Lín Pùbù]) Most tourists to the world famous Guilin (桂林 [Guìlín]; Osmanthus Woods) are on a tighter and shorter stay revolving around the Li River (漓江 [Líjiāng]) Cruise, and don't bother with this waterfall. But we think it's a worthwhile stop if you have another day to sightsee the area. After all, this kind of excursion was more interactive amongst the Nature in this part of the country (i.e. we could hear the waterfalls, feel the mist, smell the vegetation, etc.) whereas the Li River boat cruise sometimes made us feel "detached" from what we were seeing with our eyes.
It took us about an hour to do the whole round trip so it wasn't a very long excursion. The trail ended at a waterfall flanked by some incense and shrines so we definitely saw as much of this place as we could. But for such a relatively short time spent here, there sure were lots of waterfalls concentrated in this one place.

In any case, we had lost count of how many tiers were in the waterfall series itself. Most of the waterfalls were probably no more than 10m or 15m or so. So it kind of further reinforced the notion that this place was more about getting wet than taking photos. Still, that didn't stop us from taking photos since some of them were still quite scenic in their own right.
