You will hear many stories about Shenzhen and Guangzhou being very dangerous, but while they might not be the safest places in the world, they are certainly not as bad as the runours make them out to be.  Just keep your wits about you and don't allow yourself to be distracted.  There will be petty thieves present, and they will probably do a "snatch and run" method, so just don't wear any expensive looking jewelry, watches, etc.  99% of people will be ok, and if you are on your guard, then the remaining 1% won't bother you.  The train to Guilin is a nice journey, however, it is all at night, so you won't see much out of the windows.  You could also travel hard bed class (the beds are not actually hard!) which is safe, and will provide a more social atmosphere.  Chinese tend to be shy, but very warm once you break the ice.

In my opinion, you won't need a guide if you are staying in Yangshuo.  English is very widely spoken there, and all hotels will be happy to organise any activities for you.

Good luck.
