Guilin is wonderful, but in the reed flute cave there is a little bit too much artificial lighting for my taste :)

Yangshuo is a great little place, but if you plan stay there make sure you book yourself into a local guesthouse rather than a hotel resort. The reason being is that local cuisine is bets enjoyed there rather than being in a cheap hotel which serves cheap western food.

If you still want to go for a hotel, the Snow Lion Resort is a great place if you love to stay in the countryside just outside the Yangshuo town center. If you plan to stay in town, there is no better hotel then the Magnolia Hotel.
