Although there are a lot of places on Earth that can be called a "photographer's dream", but very few of them can make you feel like you are inside a beautiful painting. One of these places is the Lee River. It is located in the Chinese province of Guangxi, and it is called the "river of poets and artists", because it is surrounded by incredibly beautiful landscapes - green hills, cone-shaped limestone peaks and terraced rice fields. The part of the river between the cities of Guilin and Yangshuo is especially famous for its picturesque views.
