A French cafe in the middle of the Old street of Yangshuo. It has a great terrace from where you can observe the street life enjoying fresh home-brewed beer.

Yangshuo is without question the tourist destination in China that most caters for the western tourist, reflected in both costs and food. It is surrounded by some beautiful countryside, but don't think that it is typically representative of China, because it isn't.

Pick up a local tourist map for rock guidance in any paper shop, don't pay more than five yuan for it

Yangshuo is one of the few places in China where foreign tourists can easily escape the urban jungle. Hire a bike and see a tiny corner of the real China of rice paddies and peasant farmers, all of it framed by the scarily photogenic karst rock formations.

Rental shops around the tourist market, and from cafes and hotels.

I stayed in a small place (the minority cafe with a great cook but it may have changed hands by now) on Guihua road opposite a traditional medicine shop. It's cheaper and quieter than West Street (only minutes away) with a really great cake shop on the corner.

If walking up West Street towards the river turn left, over a bridge and it should be somewhere around there.
