Food on the Li River Cruise Ship
By JASMINEFONG | 3/29/2005 4:20:39 PM

A trip to Guilin culminates in a cruise down the Li River. Sitting in a cruise ship, tourists can take in the picturisque view along the river. In spring the view is more attractive--clear water, pastoral fields,and mist-shrouded hills rising above ground.
One thing you should be reminded, the cruise ships usually provide lunch for tourists. My personal experience told me that the food was terrible and they can not compare to the instant/canned food. You'd better bring some food beforehand and after your arrival in Yangshuo, you may find a local restautant for dinner.

Guilin's free services
By PEPPERMINT | 12/17/2004 3:55:41 PM

Sanhua wine, preserved bean curd and chilic sauce are Guilin's three treasures.
And I am gonna introduce Guilin's three free services: free buses, free park and free toilets.
free bus lines
No.51 from Donghuan Parking Lot to Guilin Station
No.52 from Donghuan Parking Lot to Seven-Star Park
No.53 from Gongjiao Company to Beiji Square
No.54 from Guilin Southern Company to Hi-tech Zone(via Chuanshan Park)
No.55 from Pingshan to Cheguansuo
No.56 from Pingshan back to Pingshan (via Nanxi Park)
No.57 from Xifeng Road via Elephant Trunk Hill Park back to Xifeng Road
No.58 from Nanxi Park to Reed Flute Park
This route is very convenient since it passes almost all the major attractions like Elephant Trunk Hill Park, Seven Star Park, Folk Customs Center, Fubo Hill Park, Diecai Hill Park, Yu Hill Park.
Most buses charge CNY 1(without air-con). The one with air-con, No.99 Bus costs CNY2.

Bridge exposition park is also free. It is made up of 19 bridges, patterned after world famous bridges like Zhaozhou Bridge in China, Alexander Bridge over the Seine, etc.

Another good news is all the public toilets ( nearly 900) in Guilin are free.


Best Time to Travel Li River in Guilin
By JASONCHAN | 5/17/2004 4:27:30 PM

Li river is really a breath-taking scenery,pollution-free waterway though bothered tourists' intrusion each year. The best time to visit there should be from Sep to Nov.
So many tourists warm into this postcard picturesque place, and you have to push your way through the crowd to board the ferry. But it really deserved! Because it is a very rare experience to travel on a non-polluted river to see the breath-taking scenery.
Enjoy!!



Guilin to Yangshuo
By DAISY | 4/21/2004 12:01:19 PM

The most convenient means to Yangshuo from Guilin is bus. The bus will pick you up at the southern part of Guilin Railway Station. About every 10-15 minutes one bus. And it only costs RMB10 per person. The last one would leave at 21:30 pm.
