rootfool Posted September 6, 2007 at 12:37 AM Report Posted September 6, 2007 at 12:37 AM 佳美 good food A little correction.I think it‘s ' "佳肴" Quote
naturegirl Posted September 7, 2007 at 06:26 PM Report Posted September 7, 2007 at 06:26 PM I always wasn't sure if it's called "桂林山水佳天下" or "桂林山水甲天下" Very beautiful or the best place on earth? Both kind of make sense, don't they? Quote
skylee Posted September 7, 2007 at 06:39 PM Report Posted September 7, 2007 at 06:39 PM It is 甲. Not just very beautiful, but the most beautiful, the top of the list of all mountains and rivers/seas etc. In mandarin, 佳 is jia1 and 甲 is jia3. While their pronunciations are similar in Mandarin, they are very different in Cantonese, or perhaps also in other dialects. And 佳天下 does not really make sense. Quote
