    Brad M Q: My departure flight is in the morning, can I visit the spots on the third day in the fiorst day? 2013.2.24

    A: Yes, we can move the third day’s itinerary to the first day according to your need.

    dhefu Q: We will be visiting Guilin during mid December. How cold will it be? Will it be fun? 2012.11.1

    A: Mid December is a little cold for visiting and the river will be dried at that time. I am living in Guilin for a long time. I recommend you visit Guilin in October. It is a good month to visit. Very cool air and good weather.

    tim1957tim Q: Li River cruise is one way or both ways? If one way, how are we going to get back to Guilin, what are the options and cost? same day return or next day return? 2012.2.23

    A: It is one way trip. The Lijiang River Cruise starts at around 09:30 and lasts around 3 to 4 hours. You can back to Guilin on the same day. But Yangshuo is a very beautiful village. It will be a big pity if you have been there but without a visit. You can get the shuttle bus back to Guilin on the next day. And the bus tickets could be purchased on the reception desk of the hotel in Yangshuo. It is very convenient. The ticket is about 25-30RMB per person.

    SomeDood Q: We want to travel from Hong Kong to Guilin. We do not want to fly. What is the best other way to get to Guilin? What will it cost? 2011.12.26

    A: Firstly, you could take bus to the Shenzhen Luohu Railway Station from HK. Then, take train to Guilin directly. Now, there is only one scheduled train run to Guilin from 17:46 to the next 07:35. It will take you about 13 hours and RMB250 for a hard spleeper. The coach is not suggested because it also cost 13 hours but the road situation is not comfortable.
