 Economical bed bunks by maysue
For me, everything is paid for in the local tour package to Guilin by the tourist agency. I got the very slow train that stops at every train stations along the way. This is only great if you want to see a glimpse of the different places in China. But mind you, I had to spend 24 hours i.e. A DAY in the train. It's ok as long you don't have weird people sharing the same bunk area (which consists of 6 bed bunks in one section of a train cabin) with you. Great way to meet and exchange conversations with the locals and foreign travellers on board. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 Train by herzog63
I had to change trains in Guyang so I thought I'd try to stay the night there well that didn't work out as I could'nt find a hotel that would accept foreigners so I went back to the train station. I was able to get a local priced hard sleeper ticket on the continuation part of my journey to Chongqing for 10.50 (US$2.00) Yuan. So I was happy to pay that so I could get some sleep! The term "Hard Sleeper" isn't as bad as it sounds. It's actually quite comfortable.You have to have a sleeping bag or something to cover yourself if you want to stay warm (in winter). And also I've been told that there isn't a 2 pricing system anymore as far as local or foreigner...just different classes which of course will have different prices. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Recommend if you can, pay only 200 Yuan and take a small boat down the Li River. The big boats taken by most tourists are crowded and you do not seem to have the facility of getting up and taking photos easily. I could be wrong!!
By accident we came across a gentleman who offered us the chance of going down the Li River by boat for 180 Yuan each. The trip itself involved a 45 minute mini-van ride to the Li Crown River dock area where we had lunch and had to wait for about 2 hours for the boat. We then had a 2 – 3 hour small boat ride sharing with 2 other people. Along the way we stopped off at two villages.
The small boat allowed us the luxury of being able to take photos easily. The boat took us to two villages and we then had another 45 minute ride to Yangshuo town. We arrived at Yangshuo about 5pm.
Yes it was budget and pretty basic but we got to see a lot more than if we had gone down river by tourist boat and it was half the price. It was up close and personal.
If interested go to the White Pearl Hotel in Guilin and ask around. Theme: Ship/Boat

Right as you walk out of this airport you will see buses and people will most likely go up to you and ask if you want to take the bus. The ticket is 10RMB and be carefull they dont charge you 20 as they did to us and sold us 2 tickets each, bastards got us good. The bus ride takes about 25-30 minutes. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Most people will tell you the cost is 150-200 but if you bargain it will be 80. We paid 80 and we did have a chinese person do the bargaining. I think that is fairly cheap and i believe most people pay about 100RMB as most taxi drivers only went to 100. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Guilin International Airport is located in the Liangjiang Town of Guilin City, about 28 km (about 17.4 miles) southwest from the city center (40 minutes by car).
After searching for a while to find flights` schedule from Guilin to Beijing and vice versa, I found this site below. Hope it helps.
You can take an airport coach bus to go to the city. The cost is 20RMB ($2.5) per person.
It costed us $191 (per person) to fly from Beijing to Guilin and $242 (per person) for the way back to the capital. Flight duration was 2 hours something.

 Bring ur own toilet paper by swarovskicrystal
$ - 9 Hr bus ride from Hell (170Y) - very safe, there is a conductor on the bus to count pple so they don't leave you behind and she answers queries and tells u where to stop and get off. Free water is distributed on the bus. The bus runs abt 4 times a day and the latest is 22.35 hrs.
$$ - 13 Hour Sleeper Train
The price ranges from 160Y to 320Y for 5 different classes.
1- Hurt your ass hard seat class
2- Less pain in the ass soft seat class
3- Aeroplane like cushion seats
4- Backache hard sleeper class
5- Luxury soft sleeper with clean linen ! and pillow!
$$$- Guilin Airlines ( about 600Y not inclu. of taxes)
Just fyi, the locals told me that this airline is quite prone to accidents. The last 2 major crashes were in 1987 and 1997 ... wanna take the plane this year? Go figure.....
I took the bus and got there in 1 piece. There are 2 toilet stops on the way. Both are bad, so don't hold it in hopes of finding a better toilet. Theme: Bus
