We are 5 people, 2 couples and a single friend travelling from Hong Kong for a very short weekend. We have booked our flights from Shenzen arriving in Guilin on the evening of 28/02/2014 at 22:30. We would like to spend as much time as possible in yangshuo. Our thoughts were to perhaps stay overnight in Guilin and then get up early and be able to go down the Li river to Yangshuo, do some bicycle riding and bamboo rafting, see the show, stay overnight in the Yangshuo and then on Sunday morning see more of the area and then we need to head back to Guilin for our flight which departs at 18:55. Please advise on how best to do this. Time will be of there essence and just wondering if it would be best to get to Yangshou on Friday evening and have 2 nights there and take the boat back up the river to Guilin. We have looked at tripadvisor and like the look of the Tea Cosy hotel. We know 2 groups of South Africans who have used Top China travel and only have glowing reports to gives of the service they received from you. We would be interested in a you advising on the above information I have given you. We want to maximise on our time and at the same time do not want to SEE EVERYTHING - we just don't want to waste time. Kindest regards, marike
