yangshou is one of the prettiest places on earth.
it's also quite small which makes it a perfect base for exploring.

Yangshuo is a pretty little town. Guilin is the pretty, but not-so-pretty step sister.

Guilin is more convenient to other major sights like Longsheng rice terrace (awesome!) and Sanjiang (the Dong bridge is amazing!). Both these places are to the north of Guilin.

Yangshuo is very touristy. Guilin is also very touristy but it covers a larger area.
