Hello. Is there a train transport from Guilin to Xiamen? How many hours is the train ride? What time is departure & arrival? How much does it cost? Thanks.
Seems there ia no direct train between these two places.

No direct train. You're advised to take an overnight bus to Guangzhou and then change to a train for Xiamen; or take a bus to Nanning and do the same.
I would think there are good coach buses running between Xiamen and Guilin. And even possibly flights?! But I recommend Yangshuo to stay in instead of Guilin. Yangshuo has a nicer setting and is also not as expensive as Guilin. You can take a shuttle bus that runs between Guilin's train station [the bus shuttle departs from the parking lot area closest to the mainstreet] and Yangshuo and it runs regularly.
Thanks for your help.
I tried looking for the bus schedules and they didn't show any Guilin -- Xiamen departures.
Thanks.
There is a coach departure from Guilin Long distance bus station at 14:20 to Xiamen, and 244RMB for a sleeping seat.
Thanks for the info. I'll have Guangzhou instead of Xiamen coz it's nearer Guilin which is my destination.
It must be hard to earn living from fishing !!
Next to fishing you will notice daily life in Guilin. There are a lot of simple boats doing daily transport - but also typical is the daily scenary of women doing the laundry in the black water of the Li river in the meantime their children are swimming next to the water buffalos
Paper Umbrellas
Guilin has a history of 400 years of making paper umbrellas, which fall into two varieties, oil and colorful umbrellas. Paper umbrellas made in Guilin are made in the traditional style and are very elegant with beautiful designs and various styles. The paper umbrella may serve as a good gift.
Landscape Paintings
Paintings reproduce the natural beauty of Guilin and many artists are fascinated with the Li River. Many famous painters including Xu Beihong, Huang Binhong, Li Ketan and Bai Xueshi have used Guilin 's unique scenery as inspiration for their masterpieces. Be sure to take something to remind you of your Guilin experience.
Watermelon Frost
There are watermelon frost powder and lozenges for sore throat and also toothpaste. It is traditionally used to relief sore throat. It can be considered as the fourth treasure of Guilin. The most reputable brand is Sanjin.
The height of a Guilin trip is volage down the Lijiang River, which is a 83-km-long waterway connecting Guilan and Yangshuo. The banks are lined with extradinary hill peaks and bamboo forest. Fishers can be seen in small boats, along with picturesque villages.
Some caves in and around Guilin offer more unique adventures for tourists. Topping the list is the Ludi (Reed-Flute) Cave. It was named thus because once the locals used clumps of reeds at the cave entrance to make musical instruments. Inside the cave, stalactites and stalagmites are reflected in multi-colored lighting, creating a fantastic view and sometime casting a mysterious feeling.
Another fun place of Guilin is the Elephant Trunk Hill, which actually resembles an elephant (about 50 meter high) dipping into the Li River.
Second evening we went to a massage place just off the main street. There are many of these places around.
Paid 30RMB ($3.8) for 45minutes of foot massage and 45RMB ($5.6) for 45 minutes of body/head massage per person.
It was nice and relaxing.
Taohua Jiang is a small river flowing from the Li Jiang into the interior of downtown Guilin... At the intersection of Taohua Jiang and the Li Jiang, you can get a brief, narrow view of the famed Xiangbi Shan, or "Elephant Trunk Hill"... You're not allowed a good view because the city government officials ordered trees to be planted which block the view in a pathetic attempt to manipulate people into paying admission to the riverbank park from where you can get a decent view of it... I thought it was tacky...
