Tip: Yangshuo's village-style B&Bs are generally quiet and peaceful, so it's recommended to dine early to avoid peak hours and enjoy the best views. Some B&Bs can be crowded, so it's recommended to book a table at the restaurant a day in advance. For an authentic Guilin experience, ask the restaurant for recommendations on local specialties; every time you try something, you'll be pleasantly surprised!
