Yangshuo Has anyone found a wonderful guide in Yangshuo
Posted: Thu October 29, 2009 09:16 AM UTC
Hi,

My husband and I will be arriving in Yangshuo mid November and would love some recommendations of guides that you have experienced in Yangshuo. We would like something personal so don't want to wait for the guides to annoy us when we get then and would prefer to go with someone who comes with a recommendation. Please let me know of your experience. Thank you

Yangshuo Is it easy to ride motor scooter in Yangshuo
Posted: Sat October 3, 2009 10:36 PM UTC
Hi,

I am reading the wonderful reports of Yangshuo and it seems that one of the wonderful experiences are when riding bikes or motor scooters. I have not ridden a bike since I was a kid so wonder if it is possible for someone like me to suddenly take up riding again:-) What about the elctric scooters? Do you need a special license, are they hard to ride, do you need any special talents. I am not on a tight budget so it isn't a problem the cost just whether I am capable and whether it is safe. Please give me some advice and where to go for the best and most reliable equipment. I am thinking we would be best to hire a guide so will think about that too.

Yangshuo Would you choose Rosewood Inn or Magnolia Hotel?
Posted: Mon September 28, 2009 10:10 PM UTC
Hi,

My husband and I (Australians) will stay in Yangshuo for 4 nights mid-November 2009. I would be interested to learn from the experience of others who have stayed in these hotels of their knowledge. If you stayed in one of these hotels would you recommend it? If you have knowledge of both which would you choose. Money is not a problem as by Australian standards both this hotels are an excellent price. We like the smaller boutique places and it is of utmost importance that I have a comfortable bed due to some back problems. I also need to know that the people are friendly and helpful. Thank you for your time and I greatly appreciate your assistance even if you choose to comment on other hotels that we might choose.

Guilin Tour in Guilin and Yangshuo
Posted: Sun September 27, 2009 06:00 PM UTC
I would like to ask a few questions:

1)Do you think is better to book tours when I reach guilin or to book tours on the internet?

I have checked on the internet, all are quite expensive. So I'm thinking whether I will be able to get a cheaper rate when I reach guilin.

2) Any recommendations of local private tour guides, that is reasonably priced?

thanks

Guangxi Zhuangzu Zizhiqu Huangyao to Longsheng
Posted: Tue August 11, 2009 01:47 AM UTC
I am looking to get from Yangshuo to Huangyao, and then from Huangyao to Longsheng. What are my travel options?

I have seen some references of a bus connecting Yangshuo and Huangyao - seems to be new, there isn't much info in English about it. Anyone know the schedule/location/etc?

To get to Longsheng, could I bus from Huangyao to Guilin and from there to Longsheng? Is there another option? How much would a cab run? Can you even get a cab in Huangyao?! I don't mind spending some money if it will save a lot of time.

Also, I am trying to figure out how to get from Dazhai to the Guilin airport. I know I can do it by connecting a few buses, but I was thinking of trying to do it faster. How much for a cab to the airport? Possible to arrange from Dazhai?

I am trying to avoid any "tours" because I don't like being forced to stay on a certain path, but if anyone has recommendations on a local who could help arrange this, that would be great as well. Any help would be much appreciated - I will be in Guilin in 6 days! Thanks!

Guilin touring guilin
Posted: Tue August 4, 2009 10:52 AM UTC
i am curious to know if it is easy for one to travel to the guilin's tourist spots on your own without being part of a tour.

can you buy for example tickets for the river cruise in town or at the docks? or pay for the entry fee for the caves at the door.

is it also easy to travel around guilin and to these places by cab or must we have a private car and driver ?

Yangshuo Biking & Hiking in Yangshuo
Posted: Thu June 11, 2009 09:28 PM UTC
We are planning to stay at the Yangshuo Mountain Retreat Hotel. For our first full day there, we'd like to bike or motorscooter to XingPing to view the sunset (or some of it before it gets too dark to find our way back to Yangshuo!). I have been sifting through many websites touting the best way to go and timeframes but it's varies depending on which site to go. Has anyone done this route? Are there rice paddies along the bike routes? Where can I find info on renting a motorscooter? Can we take bikes on a boat in XingPing back to Yangshuo and what's the latest time they return to Yangshuo? And last: What's the likelihood of finding a public toilet along the way from Yangshuo to XingPing? (travelling with an elderly woman who needs plenty of rest stops!). Thanks!

Posted: Mon March 30, 2009 05:26 AM UTC
Are there places to stay outside yangshuo? I'd like to make a quick getaway for a few days and relax. I want to be away from the tourist center and get to one of the hotels outside the town. I know that Yangshuo mountain retreat and Moon resort exist, but are there any others. I'm looking for a clean place, with good access to biking and hiking trails

Thanks!

Luoyang Longmen Grottoes & Shaolin Temple
Posted: Sun March 22, 2009 12:47 AM UTC
A friend has suggested we might want to check out the Shaolin Temple after we visit the Longmen Buddhas in the morning. Is there a bus service to the Temple or should we take a cab. After we visit the temple, is there a bus service back to the train station. If there is a bus service from or to these places, what is the cost and more importantly, what is the frequency of service. We`ll be there on a Friday. Thanks!

Guilin Guilin Li River cruises--options!
Posted: Tue February 10, 2009 07:39 PM UTC
When I went to Guilin 2 years ago, I paid the Lijiang Waterfall hotel tour desk to get on a cruise to Yangshuo. They took me 15mins out of town to get on a whole slew of boats outside of Guilin. According to the Lonely Planet Guide I just picked up, there seems to be an access point just opposite the Sheraton in Guilin where you 'should' be able to jump on a boat to Yangshuo for much less cost around 830am in the morning. I'm travelling in early September. Can someone verify this information? I'd like to avoid going that long way again. Thanks!

Luoyang Luoyang & Longmen Grottoes
Posted: Wed January 7, 2009 05:09 PM UTC
In September 2009, we are planning to take an overnight train from Beijing to Zhengzhou and then transfer to Luoyang train around 5am. Once we get to Luoyang, how do we get to the Longmen Buddha Caves? I need a bus or taxi (cost?) early enough in the morning to beat any tourist buses. I also heard there may be boats to hire? Once we have finished our tour there, we intend to get back on the train (same day) and head back to Zhengzhou, and hope to catch the evening/overnight train to Guilin. Does this sound possible? I'm worried that I won't be able to buy the tickets since I don't believe you can reserve these things or buy online beforehand. We definitely would like the soft sleeper. Or is there a reservation service online for advance tickets? Thanks!

Guilin River Li's water levels
Posted: Fri November 21, 2008 04:01 PM UTC
Hey,
I lived in China for a year and am planning on a return visit in early 2009, only I'll be taking my boyfriend with me.
I've never been to Guilin/Yangshuo and thought it would be good for us to spend a few days in the area.

We're planning on being disgustingly touristy and going on a river cruise from Guilin to Yangshou, but I have some concerns about the water levels! We had planned on going in January but I think the river level will be too low. Does anyone have any advice about the feasability of a boat tour in early March (or even late Feb)? Ideally we'd like clear skies too, so any advice would be welcomed! Thank you in advance for any replies.

Has anyone stayed at the Li-An Lodge in Longsheng? I understand it is an hour's hike to get there. Will it be a difficult hike, and will it be muddy in late February or early March with a lot of rain? Is that the only way to see the various ethnic villages? Anything you can tell me would be GREAT! Thanks.
