ALASKAN Points: Join Date: Apr 30, 2004 Status: offline	I will be traveling from Alaska with my wife to Guilin near the end of June from Shanghai. I think we will have about 5 days to take everything in. It has been a dream destination for us for many years. We would like to go by ourselves rather than a tour. Can someone recommend an itinery for 4-5 days and where to stay. And the best way to get there from Shanghai. I am sure it will be hot and crowded in this time of year, but it is the only time we have. thanks jim

Day 01: Entry Guilin
Visit the Fubo Hill and the Seven Star Park.

Day 02: Guilin/ Yangshuo
Enduring memories are created today as you cruise down the Li River to Yangshuo.

Day 03: Yangshuo
You can find a tiny and enigmatic world with the breathtaking scenery and have a pot of tea in a sidewalk cafe feeling totally relaxed. You can rent a bicycle to visit the Moon Hill and the Big Banian Tree.

Day 04: Yangshuo/ Guilin/ Exit
Transfer back to Guilin by car. Visit the Reed Flute Cave and the Elephant Trunk Hill.

Also Longshen Terraced Fields and the Village of Yao Nationality and the Suspension Bridge, and Dong Nationality Village, the Shelter Bridge and the Drum Tower in Sanjiang should be considered.

Is the best way to get to guilin is to fly directly from Shanghai. I think it is a long way and possible to fly directly into Guilin. So summer will be very hot - do you recommend very light clothes and a raincoat. Are shorts ok to wear for my wife? thanks for your help jim
