Default china guilin yangshuo travel tips

China Guilin Yangshuo Travel tips.

Suggested in Guilin for one or two nights, then the next day do Li River Cruise to get to Yangshuo.

Activities recommended in Guilin, Elephant Hill, Seven Star Park, Reed Flute Cave and lakes. If you like watching the show, do not miss Ethnic Folklore Show and Dreamlike Acrobatic Show in the evening, the shows start at around 8pm or you can watch Cormorant Fishing.

You can also take a stroll in the Zhengyang Pedestrian in the evening to take some souvenir such Chinese traditional paintings in the night market there.

There are many local restaurants around in the center near Sheraton Hotel and Waterfall Hotel, it is nice with reasonable price. The local food in Guilin is famous for steamed mandarin fish of the Lijiang River, red cooked meat slices with Lipu taro covered by bowl, fish cooked in bamboo tube, steamed pork with rice flour wrapped in lotus leaves and Guilin rice noodle etc.

Recommended hotel in Guilin, Sheraton Hotel and Waterfall Hotel (5*) locates in the center of city, the other one is Royal Garden Hotel locates at Li River side, it is 20 minutes walking distance to the center. Bravo Hotel and Ronghu Lake, Park hotels(4*) are nice hotel with good location near lakes and center.

If you have time and want to have a relaxed holiday, you can stay in Yangshuo for 2 or 3 nights. Beer fish is the most famous food in Yangshuo and you can have a try.

You can have nice western food in West Street.
Recommended hotels in Yangshuo, Paradise Hotel, Regency Hotel, Magnolia Hotel are very nice hotel with good location near West Street. If you want to stay out of Yangshuo town, Li River Retreat and Yangshuo Mountain Retreat are nice places for your stay.

Recommend activities in Yangshuo, Liu Sanjie Light and Sound Show, (600 actors and actresses, 500 singers & dancers, bamboo boats and cormorants birds are used in this 70 minute show. it provided a strong backdrop to the hundreds of farmers on bamboo rafts, and floating stages, awash in color and light) If you like adventure, you should explore Water Cave to take muddy bath in the cave, climb up to the Moon Hill to see the panoramic view of countryside.

Visit Yulong River and do bamboo rafting in the river , it is very serene and relaxing, it is one of your best memory of your tour in China. Or ride bike to the villages.

Guilin is wonderful, but in the reed flute cave there is a little bit too much artificial lighting for my taste :)
Thanks for those wonderful spots and this well written tips!
Cheers

Default accommodation in yangshuo

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.
