The scenery on the boat ride to Yangshuo is quite pretty.
I like it.
Lots of boats on that Li river and on warm summer days, locals and tourists can also swim in it.

If u take the bigger boats to Yangshuo, u can probably bring your luggage onto the boat.

We took a boat ride to Yangshuo and cycled back to Guilin.

I feel that the Guilin people are not hostile and they are just as friendly as any other people in China.
When I was there, I didnt feel any hostility at all.

There is a nice river/lake in Guilin that is quite pretty and u can walk along the river banks.

Yangshuo is more touristy and geared more towards the western tourists.
It is also prettier than Guilin city itself.

Guilin mifen(rice noodles) is yummy and cheap!
