Demonstrating the travel bargains available currently in S.E. Asia. I plan in being in Guilin for 4 nights (5 days) Monday to Friday inclusive. I hear that the river boat trips are the thing to do? As anyone any experience, tips or guidance? Thank you, Brit --- Cheers!

I definitely suggest a day trip there. I would also recommend spending two days (if possible) in Yangshuo as it's much easier to get around yourself there. Biking through the Yangshuo countryside is a not-to-be-missed experience. Guilin is more of a 'city' and doens't give you so much of the feeling of oneness with the scenery as Yangshuo does. But it also has its scenic attractions. The Reed Flute Cave and Seven Star Park are the best among them in my eyes. Hope you have a wonderful time. If you have any more questions- you can sent me a message at my globo address. Cheers, Tania :) [ This Message was edited by: downundergal on 2005-01-31 09:20 ] --- Tania Wang Reply    Reply with quote    Contact taniawang
