We can arrange for a suitable vehicle to pick you up from any flight arriving in Guilin airport. You let us know how many people and the flight details and we will do the rest.
The driver will carry a sign bearing the name you give us. Guilin airport is not big so this is usually fine. If you cannot find your driver within a reasonable time then call my mobile: +86 138 0773 5773.
If you know your flight is going to be delayed and you can call us at least two hours before the original arrival time then we can re-arrange the transfer. If you are not able to call, the driver will still wait for up to 3 hours after the expected arrival time without additional charge.
Local buses leave for Yangshuo from right outside the train station. Just beware - they are apt to try and charge foreigners too much. The fare is currently RMB 14 with no extras for luggage etc. There have been numerous cases of bags being cut open on these local buses. Be vigilant if you choose to use these.
We would recommend you walk up to the main bus station and take the Express Service from there. Turn left out of the station and walk about 600m along the main road. The bus station is on the same side. Go through the waiting room and there is a small ticket office on the left. This sells tickets to Yangshuo. This service costs RMB 15 and is much safer. We are not aware of thefts on these buses.
If you are arriving after dark, or would just prefer the convenience of your own car, then email us. We can ensure we have enough details to arrange a time and place to meet.
We can arrange other transfers on request. This could be from Pingan (Longsheng Rice Terraces) or even furtehr afield. We have arranged buses as far afield as Liuzhou for groups.

We had the opportunity to send three days in Yangshuo. During two of these days we made a tour through the countryside: one per bicycle and bamboo raft, the other by motorbike. Lisa showed us many nice places, nice views [...] it has given us a nice impression of the area and a very pleasant memory of our trip to Guilin/Yangshuo.

Qing Ming Festival
Zhang Faye, 28 March, 2010
Qing Ming Festival is a tradition throughout China often known as the grave-sweeping festival. Although marked as 5 April on the calendar, actually this is a period of two weeks during which the family pay their respects to their ancestors by cleaning up the graves and offering sacrifices.
Li River Cruises: Low Water Warning
Zhang Faye, 28 March, 2010
Guangxi is part of the drought-stricken area of south-west China which is currently a top news item nationally.
At the moment the Li River water is very low, so the cruise boats can't start from Guilin nor finish in Yangshuo. Until normal water levels return, the cruises will start from Yangti and finish in Xingping.
