Return After the tour, return to Xingping Ancient Town and take a taxi to Yangshuo Station, ending this unforgettable trip to Guilin Yangshuo. Food Recommendations - Guilin Rice Noodles: When you come to Guilin, you must try the authentic Guilin Rice Noodles. Two taels of rice noodles in a street shop usually only cost 5-6 yuan. Remember not to be fooled by the set meals on the sign. Ordering rice noodles individually is more cost-effective. Add sour beans, peanuts and other side dishes, and then drizzle with a spoonful of brine, the taste is amazing! - Yangshuo beer fish: Yangshuo's beer fish is a must-try delicacy. But don't eat at the restaurants on West Street, the prices are high. You can go to the food stalls frequented by local residents, such as the chef’s gold medal beer fish. The fish is tender and fresh, blended with the aroma of beer, and is very delicious. You can also check the packages in advance on the group buying platform, which can save you a lot of money. When ordering food, be sure to ask the price first to avoid unnecessary disputes. - Guilin snails: Snails have firm meat and are spicy and flavorful after a unique cooking process. They are one of Guilin's specialty snacks. You can find it at night markets or food stalls. - Gongcheng Oil Tea: Gongcheng Oil Tea is a traditional delicacy in Guilin with a unique flavor. A bowl of oil tea with snacks such as boat cakes and fried rice can not only fill your stomach but also refresh your mind. - Osmanthus Cake: Sweet and soft osmanthus cake, full of the fragrance of osmanthus. You don’t have to go to the store to buy it. The ones sold on street tricycles are very authentic, affordable and taste great. Tips for avoiding pitfalls - Be sure to ask the price before eating, especially for seafood and fish, to avoid high prices at the checkout. - When buying local specialties, it is recommended to go to regular supermarkets or markets to avoid being ripped off in small shops around scenic spots. - When taking a bamboo raft or renting a car, negotiate the price and service content in advance to avoid disputes. - The bars on Yangshuo West Street have relatively high consumption. If you just want to experience the atmosphere, you can go during the hours when the minimum consumption is lower. Following this guide, I believe you can spend an unforgettable time in Yangshuo, Guilin, and enjoy the beauty of mountains and rivers and the joy of food! Pack your bags and start your trip to Guilin and Yangshuo!
