Guilin Travel Forum

Ok i actually would really appreciate help.. I know everyone asks but i need help but not just places but exactly how to get to them where to stay etc.

I have about 8 days i am an expat living in china but will be travelling with brother who is from overseas. I am starting in Beijing and wanna go to xian but after that really don't know where to go. I wanna end up in guangzhou so i can get a flight back to my home in Shijiazhuang.

So if anyone could give me tips on what places are cool and maybe between xi'an and guangzhou that would be great. What would be even better would be where accomodation is and also what to do in the places.

I have read up on guilin and it looks good i would love to do farm tours or something with the smaller villages so my brother can see some unique china. So if anyone can give me a website like that or maybe tell me a place they know.

I just don't wanna do tours because it seems too expensive.

Thank you for any help you can give me

look here and see if you can find a government run or sponsored web site for this location. ( www.towd.com )

You could try Chengdu (Sichuan province), where the pandas are supposed to be. Or Sanjiang at the border of Guangxi and Hunan province, where there is a famous wooden bridge. Near Guilin is Yangshuo, which to me is a great place to chill: peaceful, clean air, quiet, beautiful. Rent a bike for 10RMB a day. Air fares are fairly low http://www.flychina.com/chinadom.htm
