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.
World record holding Olympic weightlifter Shi Zhiyong is also a native of Lingui.
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 tothe lands of the northwest along the Silk Road.[1] As a result, more and more envoys were sent through this territory to Anxi, Yancai, Lixuan, Tiaozhi, and Shendu.
The district administers 9 towns and 2 ethnic townships:[2]
