Well the name is half right. From Kunming to Guilin by train takes 18 hours, thankfully there are beds if you are prepared to pay a british sarcastic massive 25pounds for your soft sleeper ticket. Although express might not be exactly appropriate (though it is around a 1000km trip) it was on time, which after 18 hours is pretty impressive. It was also comfortable and warm, with wake up calls for your stops. And, like everywhere in China, a constant supply of hot drinking water for your tea leaves.
Guilin does have the scenery going for it though im back to wearing a hat and scarf etc. This was taken 100m from my hostel. Yes, that's a cormorant catching fish from that boat.
