Shangri-La
This is a theme park of sorts. In Chinese it is called ‘shiwaitaoyuan (世外桃源), the worlds peach blossom garden’. Though all the young ladies who guide you through will speak little or no English, it is still a lovely place to go and a great photo opportunity. You take a mini-barge down the river and are shown some of the amazing culture that spawned on the edge of the Yangshuo river estuary. After this, they take you for a walk through all their shops and show you their handicrafts from ‘Block printing’ to hand woven neck-ties and magnificent statues carved from wood.
Getting There: Take the bus to Guilin. They will let you off at the entry. Ticket prices should only be about Y7.
