Can anyone please advise which one i should go for? we are later going to hong kong and so I am swaying towards the Guilin tour as Shainghai is a bustling modern city and would be similar to Hong Kong. We do prefer to experience the smaller towns and villages rather than the big bustling cities. Please let me know your experiences.

With lush mountaina, limpid river water, and magic stone, Guilin really deserves your visit, and will make out of the tiredness about the hustle and bustle, and give you a full relaxation. You will be drunk by the natural wonder absolutely! Enjoy your trip^_^

Hi, if you go to Guillin in winter time consider that it can get very cold and wet and you will not enyoy it at all as you need to tour around by bike or explore the countryside. so it is better to go to Shanghai, one of the most espectacular cities in Asia especially for its arcitecture and the new high rising buildings.It also gets cold during winter but being in a city it makes it more bearable.
enjoy it and return to Guillin in spring or better in early autumn
