Travelling abroad is a challenge in itself. Travelling abroad with children is even more of a challenge, but that shouldn't mean that you stay put until they grow up. Accept the challenge and learn to make things easier for yourself.
In Yangshuo, family travel is considerably easier than many other destinations in China. Yangshuo has been a backpackers favourite since China re-opened to tourists back in the early 80s. Tourism services are well developed and you should find all you need. There is a wide range of accommodation options, lots of great food and so much to do. Since many locals speak English, you need not struggle with arranging day-to-day events, and can enjoy the trip as well.

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.
