[quote=BARONTWANGLE,275414]I agree with the above post except that If you pay more than 10 yuan for a bicycle in Yangshuo, you've been ripped off.  You can get them for 5 if you bargain hard.  I would also take the bus to Xingping and stay there for the night.  There are only a few hotels, but they never seem to be busy, so no need to book.  Usually you can get a room for 50 yuan.  The reason to stay there overnight is to climb the mountain (sorry can't remember the name) with the pagoda on top, and be there for sunrise.  It only takes about 30 minutes to climb, and offers the best views I have seen of the Guilin area.  You used to be able to climb up the tv tower mountain in Yangshuo, but they've stopped people doing that now (although in a typical Chinese fashion, they'll wait until you have climbed almost all the way to the top before telling you it's closed!).

Also worth a visit is the town of Daxu.  However, this is only accessible by bus from Guilin, not from Yangshuo.  You only need a couple of hours there, but it is a good ancient town.
