Riverview Hotel
By JPICON | 7/3/2010 7:04:51 PM
Riverview hotel was a great place and centerally located. The staff was very friendly and helpful to all our needs. They recommended and booked all our tours at a good price. The hotel was clean and the beds were comfortable but the bathroom floor flooded a little when we took a shower. The hotel over looks the river and has a great atmosphere. The food was fairly good and not too expensive and if you are coffee drinker the coffee is great. The hotel felt like home and the staff felt like family and most of the staff are able to speak English. I would recommend the hotel to anyone who is going to stay in Yangshuo.

Tips and Advice for Travelling to Yangshuo
By GUILINANDY | 2/8/2010 9:35:34 PM
. In Summer it is very hot ( about 25 C---30 C ) and the Sun is strong, so sunscream, sunglasses and suncap should be prepaired.
2.In Winter it is cold ( about 0 C......10 C ) and humid, so enough clothes should be prepaired. In Yangshuo big size clothes are available.
3.If you get wet in the rain especially in Spring or Winter, to take a hot water bath and have some hot tea as soo as possible is a good way to avoid having a cold.
4. Drinking enough water to avoid sunstroke. The local people take a kind of Chinese herbal medicine named " 藿香正气水,( huo xiang zheng qi shui )", It is effective, and available in drug stores. The local people take "藿香正气水" if they vomit or diarrhea because of sunstroke or unhygienic food.
5. The local people use a kind of Chinese medicine called "qing liang you, 清凉油" to wipe on the wound if they are bitten by mosquitoes. Qing liang you is available in the drug stores.
6.While renting bikes, don't forget to check the brakes and tyres, and ask for locks.
7. In China, people walk, cycle and drive on the right side along the road or path. It is very important to walk, cycle or drive slowly and carefully.
8. It is common to bargain, except in big supermaket and some shops with the sign of "谢绝还价，( xie jue huan jia )" , which means "no bargain" .
9. If you don't want to buy something , don't offer your price.
10. When someone follows you to persuade you to buy some thing , you can refuse him/her with this sentence: "谢谢， 我不要。( xie xie , wo bu yao )" which means " Thank you, I don't want it/them".
11. Taking good care of your belongs.especially when you are swimming in livers.

Bamboo rafting the Li River
By TIGGERCHIC82 | 7/12/2009 9:42:48 PM
Ask any tour guide in Yangshuo and he will get you on the next bike to the Li River. You are paired up and put onto bamboo rafts, with your own personal "Driver" (for lack of better words) that will guide your raft with a stick (so you don't run into someone else, or the bank). The sights are amazing and, although there are a few small waterfalls, the ride is very smooth.

THE WAY INN , also known as Holland bar, is a very busy bar close to the centre. Beer, wine and cocktail bar. Famous for its mexican burritos and warm atmosphere.The bar is run by its dutch owner Tony and his chinese wife Jian. A great atmosphere, feels like going to a party. very casual. Almost every night Tony sings some english songs, very much appreciated by his customers. Good food and an impressive selection of sprits and cocktails.

Yangshuo good local guider
By RECHAN | 9/25/2007 7:25:06 AM
We just returned from a Uniworld tour and were very pleased. However, we took the 10-day tour (Beijing, Xian, Shanghai) which did not include a Yangtze cruise. The hotels were nice, meals were plentiful with a few really good dishes at each meal. They covered all the highlights and gave us a good amount of time at each place. We highly recommend them. After the tour was over we went on our own to Guilin/Yangshou and Hong Kong. I was thrilled with our guide in Yangshou and would not hesitate to travel with him again outside a group. His name is Hamson deng and his e-mail is (ansnaw@yahoo.com; phone (0)13878372314). I can’t say enough good things about this guy. He was fluent in English and had a thorough knowledge of the area. He was competent, professional, and charged very reasonable rates (~50 rmb/per person per day) for his services. He took us on an 1/2-day mountain biking tour of the Yangshuo countryside which was amazing. The tour lasted about 8 hours and included lunch at an elderly couple’s house in an ancient village. At one point, we loaded our bikes onto one of the many bamboo rafts that ply the river, and took a 1 hour float downstream surrounded by amazing scenery. That night, we went to the local show which is a large production set on the river. It highlighted the local minority groups of the area and was quite a spectacle and worth seeing. He also took us commarant fishing at night. Finally, he took us to the Longsheng rice fields.

Yulong River by Bike & Bamboo Raft
By DANIELKENNEDY | 4/7/2007 5:24:31 AM
One of the highlights of my family's trip to China was biking and rafting along the Yulong River. We started off from the beautiful Yangshuo Mountain Retreat where we were staying, and rented mountain bikes. From there we rode through the villages, stopping along the way to take photos and ended up 20km up river an ancient stone bridge. Some of the local kids were jumping off the parapet, which looked to be about 10meters+, into the clear water below. My son got up the nerve and jumped too! We crossed the bridge and biked about half way back on the other side, but the road was really rough in places so we decided to get a couple of bamboo rafts. We were told not to pay more than 20 yuan per person. It took us almost an hour to get back to Yangshuo Mountain Retreat, where after a hot shower we had dinner outside under the stars. Perfect!

Daxin
By APAULT | 12/27/2006 5:35:14 AM
The town of Daxin is west of Nanning and the nearest town to DeTian Bu Pu (waterfalls on Mekong R), which are worth a visit. This town has little of interest. The hotel opposite the bus station cost me Y30, half the advertised price without bargaining, amazing! Otherwise, there are a few hotels including the luxurious looking Daxin Hotel in superb grounds - to the left as you exit from bus station. Thereis a small but lively outside dining street in the evenings just past the Daxin hotel on the other side of street.
There is one historic site, a drab fortified wall gate. Turn left from the bus station and it is somewhere on the left from there!
Caught bus from bus station to DeTian waterfalls,
