[quote=CHYNAGYRL               ,34125]you should visit Yangshuo.  there's a boat cruise there down the Lijiang River from Guilin to Yangshuo.  It's a pretty touristy place, but it's beautiful and I think you'll like it.  Good souvenirs to buy are traditional outfits made by the ethnic minorities living in the area (Dong, Miao), but make sure you bargain.  There is fantastic hand-made silver jewelry as well (with interesting designs), if you are traveling with a female or want to bring someone a gift back home.  Another souvenir you might consider is artwork.  There is a lot of Chinese calligraphy on scrolls, but myself, I liked the oil paintings.  In China, nowadays fusion art is pretty hot -- its a combination of traditional ink painting with the vibrancy of Western materials and technique -- oil or acrylic.  I saw some really nice large paintings of Guilin that were on sale in an art store there.You can also take a cooking class in Yangshuo, there's a lot of neat things you can do there.Have fun![/quote]
