Yangshuo is located approximately 65Kms from Guilin.

There are two types of buses for this journey

1. Express luxury buses leave from Guilin bus station. Cost is 13 Yuan. Buses leave every half an hour from 7am to 8 pm. This is a new service which commenced on the 1st of December, 2003. These buses are very comfortable and non-smoking. The only stop is Yangshuo bus station. This is the best way to get to Yangshuo from Guilin

2. Regular local buses. These leave from Guilin railway station forecourt. These are much more basic and you are certain to have smokers around you. Cost is 10 Yuan for the trip and will stop several times to pick up and drop off people. This is a real experience

Warning. There are some people who charge you extra just for taking you to the bus. It is up to you to pay extra but there is no need.

Also, some bus drivers(Only the regular buses) drop you off before reaching the Yangshuo bus station in order to get a commission for dropping you off at a hotel outside of the town centre. Yangshuo bus station is the last stop and everyone in the bus will get off here. From the bus station, it is a very short walk to most hotels.
