[quote=BARONTWANGLE,275052]Jorn89. If you are doing any work for the school, then they should collect you. If you are just using it as a place to stay for free, then you are not saving yourself much money. A decent hotel room in Yangshuo only costs 50 Yuan (but you can get much cheaper!). So if the taxi costs you 300, then that is 6 days accommodation. I wouldn't stress yourself out about pre-booking taxis, as there really is no need. You sound like someone who is not experienced at travelling, but don't worry. Here is how simple it is...... Arrive at Guilin airport, clear customs, and collect your bags. This shouldn't take too long as it is only a small airport. You now have 2 choices - either get the shuttle bus into the city (and get a taxi to the train station), or get a normal taxi from the airport all the way to the train station. The former will be cheaper, but the latter quicker. As long as the taxi driver uses the meter, then you will not be ripped off. If he doesn't want to use the meter (very unlikely), then ask him to turn it on, or just refuse to go with him and get another one. There will be plenty of taxis there. Don't accept a taxi ride from someone standing in the airport. Go outside to where the taxis are parked. When you get to the train station, there will be a bus to Yangshuo. I think they run up to midnight (possibly later). As I said before, this will cost 15 yuan, and take just over an hour. In case you are not aware, the distance from Guilin airport to Yangshuo is over 100kms! It is not a short journey. The good news for you is that Guilin and Yangshuo are very foreigner friendly places. You can always find people to help you, and many people speak English. Don't worry, and have fun.[/quote]
