Guilin

From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of the Mandarin 桂林 (Guìlín, “Laurel Forest”), with particular reference to the area's Cinnamomum cassia.

In early May, advance elements of Li Zong-ren’s Seventh Army of the Northern Expeditionary Force advanced from Guilin, securing Tang’s flanks and boosting his soldiers’ morale.

In 1945, Tom was sent into remote Kueilin, Kwangsi Province where primitive conditions necessitated bathing in a small round bamboo tub just big enough to hold him.

Before going home, we flew to Guilin for a meeting with environmentalists concerned about the destruction of forests and the loss of unique wildlife, and a leisurely boat trip down the Li River, which flows through a stunning landscape marked by large limestone formations that looked as if they had burst up through the landscape of the gentle countryside. After Guilin, we made a stop in Hong Kong to see Tung Chee-hwa, the chief executive chosen by the Chinese after the British left.

The West River was formed by the confluence of two rivers: the Hsun, which led further west to Kuanghsi’s new provincial capital of Nanning, and the Lichiang (or Kueichiang), which led north to the province’s old capital of Kueilin. Summer rains lifted the level of both rivers by as much as twenty meters, and summer was the only time of the year that Kueilin could be reached by boat.

Our Authors ſay there are no Elephants in China, which muſt be underſtood of the Provinces they knew, where, in truth, there are none. Father Martini writes, that they begin to be met with at Nanning, in the Province of Quangli, where the Inhabitants uſe them for War and for Carriage. Some there are alſo in the Province of Junnan ; nor is it a wonder that theſe Creatures, who ſo ſwarm in the Indies, and in Tungkin or Tonquin, ſhould ſtraggle hither.

The French were once so sure of getting a railway concession from their Langson branch into Lungchow that they built a big stone station—now the French consulate—and a stone slide not unlike the steeper levees along the Mississippi, down which French goods were to be slid into the boats that were to take them down the river to Nanning.

1925, Harry A. Franck, Roving Through Southern China, The Century Company, page 354:

The story was told him by an old servant of his family who was from Yungchow [modern Nanning] in Kwangsi, and who came from the cave people [aborigines] of that district.[...]There are well-known Siamese versions of the Cinderella story, and Nanning is very close to Indo-China.

Since an earlier Maoist military mission's visit to Hanoi in October 1974, the Chinese Communists have been providing massive military supplies for North Vietnamese. A so-called "Headquarters of the Chinese People's Support for Vietnam," headed by Wei Kuo-ching, was also established in Nanning in southern Kwangsi Province.[...]
A training center has been operating in suburban Nanning to provide guerrilla and sabotage training for 500 persons at a time.

Liuzhou

From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of the Mandarin 柳州 (Liǔzhōu).

Even General Lin, an honest man, eventually became a victim of the age. During his old age he operated a small farm in Liuchou, Kwangsi. After the Communists took over the mainland in 1949, he was invited to become a member of the National Assembly, which he did. I cannot say that he was better off under the Communist regime, but at least he survived the crisis.

Early offerings--many of them packaged in sultry covers featuring buxom women in silk pajamas--were huge sellers. But when copycats and counterfeiters drove down margins, Chan switched to real estate, snapping up 200 acres of land in the city of Guigang and erecting dozens of office towers and residential developments. Among his most ambitious recent projects: a luxury Guigang housing complex dubbed "Wealthy Persons' New Town."[…]
Chan's business partners swear he's loaded, an assessment shared by some of Guangxi's most influential citizens.
