I am planning to stay three days at Guilin and then take a train (12 hrs) to Guangzhou.
I need advice of how to advance book 5 train tickets (soft beds type) from Guilin to Guangzhou. I heard that the soft beds are sold out very quick.
Can someone also let me know of any city lounge that I can take shower or food before departing for the 9pm night train?
Thanks.
The soft berths about 380RMB, the hard berths are about 240RMB. Usually, the hard ones get sold out first.
I might be able to help you with pre-booking the train tickets. When are you travelling?
If you want a shower before you go on the train, best would be to get a hotel near the train station and ask for the hourly or "short rest" rate, usually 3-5 hours.
VTMail me if necessary.
God materials shop near 6 Banyan temple, obviously these kind of shops are abundant when you visit the 6 Banyan temple. In front of the temple, you can see a galaxy of beggars following you for money, they follow everywhere you go. There are also monks, I heard a visitor yell "...he is a fake monk..." and then I heard the monk replied angrily "...@#$%^!&....you dare call me fake !!!...."
As you can see in the picture here, the boundaries of the ancient walled city of Guangzhou -- that very old city, called by many names, such as Canton or Chu Ting, a city at least 2000 years old, known to the Romans, and the Arabs, and all the others down the line -- those boundaries only cover a small portion of what is today central Guangzhou. The farthest northern tower of the old walled city is the only one that still exists and you can see it when you visit Yuexiu Gongyuan. In ancient times, Guangzhou was the most important trading center in South China as Hong Kong did not exist until the mid-19th century or so...
The Museum of the Mausoleum of the Nanyue King was opened in 1988 at the site of the tomb of the second Nanyue King, Zhao Mei of the Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-24 A.D.), which was discovered by chance in June 1983. The museum exhibits over 11,000 relics from the tombs as well as other pieces such as a collection of 400 ceramic pillows and bronzes unearthed in other tombs nearby. But the highlight of the museum is a silk-jade shroud made up of 2,291 pieces of jade. Though jade garments with pieces connected by gold, silver, or copper are not uncommon, this garment with jade pieces connected by silk is the only one of its kind in the world. In addition, three sets of bronze serial bells, thirty-six bronze vessels, thirty-six bronze mirrors, and three gold seals give visitors a glimpse of the ancient Nanyue Culture. More photo's can be found in one of my travelogues.
Open: 9am-5.30pm every day. Admission: RMB12.
