There are not too many Expats living in Guilin. But a big part of them lives in Seven Star Garden.

To strengthen the service for the foreign citizens the Public Security Bureau and the Residents Registration Office of Guilin established a convenient opportunity there for consulting.

An Office was opened in Seven Star Garden during a small gathering and ceremony last saturday. It was a good opportunity to become acquainted with the officers of these two offices as well as with the foreigners living here.

In that way I think it was a shame that so many of the Expats living in Seven Star Garden did not follow their personal invitation to that event.
