[quote=MACMA ,2495]GreatwallIf you like hiking do not visit the greatwall by badalin..........you should go (see lonely planet ) to less famous parts of the greatwall.......and you can hike endlessly in the most desserted places of the great wall..........we hiked 1 day and only met 3 persones...........one women whos backyard we started in ............one guy up at the greatwall from canada and an old chinese guy ............the greatwall is here very original in comparrison with the comercial badalin................from beijing to Guilin (and i suggest Yangsuo and even beter small places around Yangsuo near the river)you have to options:* directly by train or plane to Guilin (a very longtrip by train)* a stop at pingyo and/or Xian by train from beijing and from xian by plane to guilin (instead of 33 hours by train take the plane 2 hours and it cost us 100 euros per person)....About the boattrips be sure you get on a small( not bamboe) boot. Because the government has regulated that after some incidents of drowning every body should go on a very large boat.......but it is much more beautiful to do the trip with a small (not bamboe) boot...in Yangsuo are enough small travelagencys who can help you.......And in the guilin area you can organise your own hiking trips you do not nead a guide because this area is used the receive foreign visiters and you can rent a bike almost every were and there are good maps availible............if you have more questions or need more details .....let me knowregards,Martin*[/quote]
