For the Li river cruise, we will prepare for it once we arrive in Guilin but i dont know who can help us there since its peak season by that time.

Hi,
Hope my answers to be of any help.

1. At any hotels in Guilin you will stay, you can ask them to arrange the Li River cruise for you. For most travellers who do not travel with agency choose this way. The cruise price is 360 yuan RMB. And also you can buy the ticket directly at the port beofore the cruise begins at 9:00 am. However, if you go to in peak seasons, better book in advance through hotels.

2. When arriving Yangshuo,I don't think you need any tou agency for it is a small town with breathtaking country scenery. Just walking along the western street and explore the town yourself. Many hostels there are of good price. No need for you to take the cruise back to Guilin. A bus station within walking distant to the West Street have buses to Guilin at 10 yuan. The but trip will take around one hour.

3. Diecai Hill and Solitary Beauty Park is not very worth of visiting. I suggest you choose the best four as Reed Flute Cave, Sever Star Park, Fubo Hill and Elephant trunk Hill. But one day trip can not cover them all. Please see the itinerary I write below:

The first day
Arriving at Guilin, visit Reed Flute Cave (3-4 hours, it is very fantastic), Seven star park (2 hours) and Fubo Hill (40 minutes)

The second day
Take the cruise to Yangshuo. The ship will arrive Yangshuo around 13:00, then explore Yangshuo. Take bus back to Guilin to visit the Elephant Trunck Hill for the nightview of the hill is the best.

I am not sure where you mean by Zhongshan. It that in Guangzhou city?

You mean hostels in Yangshuo, right? So many hostels in the West Street. I'm not sure which is better. But Lisa's Hotel has been there for a long time.
