[quote=TINMAN,359394]very easy.........you can go by bus, which is very cheap, or you can go by ferry, which is about 4 hours.I suppose you could go by taxi too. If you go ferry, it is slow but has endless breathtaking views, however if i remember the cost, it can be about 1600 yuan per person...very pricy!, and does not include return trip. By bus, I think was 17-20 yuan each, but be prepared for fast driving on, and close your eyes when they pass each other. The road is pretty decent. I suppose the taxi trip would be closer to 100 yuan or so, just guessing!, but is the fastest way, however there's not any chance to stop for pictures or sightseeing. Yangshou is a quaint little town with the entry streets geared for tourism.Unless you know how to bargain, you'll get ripped big time on buying anything. There is quite a few bars, and cafes there everywhere.If you're going to stay overnight, I suggest do not take the hotels along the tourist street. The ferry guide people will tell you they can arrange the hotel and will trick you to believe there is hardly any rooms left...don't fall for that!...when you get there, just walk the streets into the neighborhood, and you'll be amazed the quantity and better quality of hotels that are back there. The reservation hotels will cost you 300 yuan, and they are awful!..The hotels on the back streets (only a 5 minute walk away), are pristine and probably in the 50 yuan range. It is so serene and quiet back there, and beautiful to take a quiet quiet walk. Do not let them fool you to believe you may not find a room---there are 100's back there. any other info I can share with you just let me know, I'll send you my e-mail address. If you are a tourist, They see you coming! Ha!....I would love to make a small business there. If you ask anyone there about the hotels, just ask for where the old abandoned library is....they're all around there. They just don't look like hotels, they look like little mansions![/quote]
