Guilin airport is the nearest airport from Yangshuo city,
there is no airplanes that you can fly from Canada to the
airport the choice is that you must fly to Beijing or
shanghai first and transition to the Guilin airport.
TrainsChina has really developed train system, you can just go to
Guilin and then go to Yangshuo city by train easily and cost
less than 200 RMB. There will be a yangshuo tarin station.
BusBy far the easiest way to get from Guilin airport to
Yangshuo is by taxi. Expect to pay between ¥300-490
depending on the vehicle, and depending on whether you
take the G65 highway (additional ¥30 for toll fees but
saves about 20 minutes) or the main road
through Guilin center. Note that taking the highway is
faster, more scenic, less bumpy and better for your blood
pressure as you will not have to watch as your driver plays
chicken with oncoming traffic while passing all the
transport trucks moving at 40km/h on the regular road.

Restaurants and bars
Beer Fish (Pijiu Yu)This dish is probably the most symbolic dish of Yangshuo. Live carp from the Li River is fried with its scales and is then stewed after several seasonings such as local beer, chili, agarics and tomatoes are added. The dish not only looks attractive, but also tastes fresh and tender with a hint of spiciness, yet remains a little sweet.
Niang DishesNiang is a traditional yet unique cooking method of combining various ingredients for stuffing (usually consisting of meat or egg) into a type of carrier (made of vegetables or bean products), then braising, boiling or frying them together. There are 32 varieties of Niang dishes, among which the most delicious is the Tianluo Niang. Select some river snails, cut the tails and take out the meat. Then put the meat into the shells together with other seasonings such as ginger, mint and pork. Finally stir-fry them together. This dish smells savory and tastes smooth, refreshing and satisfying.
Restaurants and bars
Lipu KourouThis dish is made using the taros from Lipu (a small county of Guangxi Province, streaky pork and other spices. Fry the taros and streaky pork in the oil separately and place them alternately in a bowl, then braise them
together. After both the taros and pork are cooked, reverse the bowls and leave them lying on a plate. In Chinese, Kou just means 'reverse', hence the name of the dish. The dish always has a golden color and tastes fluffy and tender but not greasy.
