I've been dabbling around Guangxi greens, and find them for the most part
lack-luster, with the notable exception so far of of Lin Yun White Down,
presumably from Ling Yun County, Guangxi Province, and available through
several vendors including Special Tea. This tea has character. I like it.
(None of this is to say that the Guangxi greens I've been at are bad; just
nothing to rave about.

Please enlighten me regarding the Guangxi tea story, whatever that means.
(We can count Guangxi as SE China, can we not?)
