Are 2 days there enough or you recommend additional day or two? What are the "must" attractions to see there? Any recommendation to visit Yangshuo too? Thanks and regards, Harvey

I took a river cruise on the Li River that took most of the morning and is a "must see". We arrived at what I think was a Yangshou bazaar. Very lively. Fun shopping. You must see the Reed Flute cave which is awesome. You might want to link with a local guide. I'd say two days is enough. Brent

Hi, we terminated 5 week tour of China in Yangshuo last summer and it was a great place to relax for 4 days. While the Li river cruise is a great way to view the 'mountains' the boats are often very noisy as they push thier way up stream for more than half of the time. It's very flat apart from the abrupt peaks so you can hire a bike and ride out to another river on the other side of town turning off just before the bridge. Cycle along here as far as you feel like and then negotiate a bamboo raft downstream for you and your bicycle. We swam here and enjoyed this far more than the Li river. Quiet and the scenery is pretty much the same only you are closer too it. There are also a few peaks to 'bag' if you are into this. Two days. Long way to go for two days and you will not be seeing what there is on offer in Guilin proper. We didn't either. Enjoy it, it's a great spot

For Guilin -- Hong Kong, I believe the only direct way would be by flight, and this would be the most expensive option. If you want to go via overland transport, you'll have to transit in Shenzhen or Guangzhou.
For Guilin -- Shenzhen, flight, train and bus all possible.
Stay in Yangshuo instead of Guilin unless you just want to be in a Chinese tour group city. There're also direct buses from Yangshuo to Shenzhen/Guangzhou.
Look on http://www.yangers.com/How_to_get_to_Yangshuo.htm for more information.
