You Are Here – Guilin
Starbucks You Are Here Guilin. This city is located on the banks of Li River, on the South of China. Due to the large number of fragrant sweet osmanthus trees, the city got its name, which means “Forest of Sweet Osmanthus”. Famous karst mountains surrounding Li River were placed on the front of the mug. These are formed when soluble bedrock dissolves, from the top down through receding waters and rains. The softer rock eroded more quickly, leaving hardier pinnacles to stand tall in resistance.… Read more

You Are Here Christmas – China
Even though it’s not Christmas yet, Starbucks decided to come up with one of the most beautiful mugs from soon to be discontinued series – You Are Here Christmas China. Again, considering the release date, we probably better call it You Are Here China Gold? Regardless, I have to repeat, this mug looks amazing.

The bigger mug has been released too and I can’t see it in the pics from the Chinese mugs preview I did earlier. It means that the assumption about second wave was not accurate.… Read more
