How to Say ‘Guilin Scenery’ in Simplified Chinese
桂林山水
guì lín shān shuǐ
[Kuei-lin Shan-shui]
💬 Usage Tip: Chinese place names often stack nouns directly with no word for 'of' or 'in': [桂林山水] is literally '[Guilin] + [mountain-water/scenery]'. You can reuse that pattern in names like [苏州园林] or [杭州西湖].
