Lingui District () is a district administered by Guilin, Guangxi, China, and located midway between Guilin and Yangshuo. The district is mostly rural and hilly, marked by the same dramatic karst topography for which Guilin is famous. Tourist attractions include Snake World, Xiongsheng Tiger and Bear Village, and Crocodile Kingdom. The district is also known as a center of ''luohan guo'' (''Siraitia grosvenorii'') production. Olympic diver Li Ting is a native of Lingui County. ==History== The ''Shiji'' and ''Hanshu'' state that around 104 BCE, the Han first built fortifications west of the district of Lingui and established the province of Jiuquan (in modern-day Gansu) to facilitate a safe route to the lands of the northwest along the Silk Road.〔Hill (2009), p. 64.〕 As a result more and more envoys were sent through this territory to Anxi, Yancai, Lixuan, Tiaozhi, and Shendu. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lingui District」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
