Archived from groups: rec>travel>asia (more info?)
Hi, I have some questions about Yanghsuo, since I wanna make a trip
there during X'mas from Hong Kong.

1. How can I get there from HK, or Shenzhen, or Guangzhou, besides by
air? Trains preferred to buses. I can't find the right train or place
to buy the bus tickets.

2. Will it be over-crowded in Yangshuo during Christmas, so that I
can't even find a place to stay?

3. Is it possible to find people to go hiking with me in Yangshuo,
since I don't wanna try the trails with no route marks at all by
myself?

4. Is it cold there during Dec. and Jan.? The weather reports say it's
from several degrees to 16 or 17. But how is it in the day? And will
it be extremely cold if I stay at a room without a/c?

Thanks in advance to anybody who answers any of the above questions.

Lillian

Train to Guilin, then there are buses from the station

Ummm...maybe. I was in the youth hostel Christmas 99, which was actually
quite quiet

Fully agree
Be prepared for some rain
but even then, Yanghsuo is magnificent:
