The length of LIjian river 83 km from Guilin city to Yangshuo town. Throughout the Lijiang river cruise there various beautiful scenery name given to each of the scenery but I must admit the one scenery name I forget. However some names, frog out of cave, nine oxen on three islets, green cliff marriage, nine dragon playing water, frog across river, immortal oushing a mill etc.
Yangshuo town during the early 1980 was the place for backpackers western tourists, they stay here for months. You find the local people speak English at restaurants, bar, cafe and food stalls etc you can get fish and chip, burger, steak etc and English menu .
By the US President Bill Clinton visit China this Yangshou town already fully develop into a tourists destinations with pedestrain street plenty of shops of all kind.
After reaching the Yangshuo harbour tourists are given some time to rest and shop around the harbour stalls selling souvenirs.
Then it is return journey to Guilin city for more sightseeing including a big cave that put in 10 747 inside ( seven star cave and Elephant trunk hill). There wasn't many shopping stop only one shop selling local traditional medicine 2 type only for Malasia water melon fross and Loh Hon Kuo. Now could be many shoping stops arrange for tourists but less sightseeing or just a few minutes to give more time for shopping so that the tour operators earn more profit from cut throat price.

China's great. Value -rich and marvelous. every provinces, corner and cities have unique features, accent, local flavours, people, fun, etc. too many people influenced by its history, and $$$. I was in Kunming in 1996 and have spent many working trips to Changshu city, Jiangsu Province via Shanghai mixing people from Suzhou, Sichuan, Xian (Shaanxi), Shanxi, Harbin,beijing etc. you can whatever you want...it's like paradise. If you can drink, the chinese friends will really make your day/night. my malaysian colleagues refused to return to malaysia!
