Get out of the hostel, turn left towards the ferry, then left again - here's a nice street with some local diners. Otherwise, walk to Lu Ju Lu (next perpendicular left) and there's a nice big street diner in the evenings in the middle of it. |

Take a daytrip to Kaiping, the UNESCO heritage place, esp. the Zili Village - it's a bit expensive but definitely worth going (bus from the Long Distance Bus Station, 57Y one way; last bus back to GZ leaves at 1940; in Kaiping, take a taxi for 120Y there and back, the driver will wait for you on the spot). In Kaiping, walk around the river to see hundreds old rusty boats piled up one against the other which seem to be the local slum area, pictoreque in a way |

I tried to catch train to Guilin ( told 'no seats' ) and ended up flying which was quite cheap and reasonably easy to get to airport. EXCEPT airport shuttle is hard to find so give yourself an extra half hour - is under the foot bridge and not in the main GZ bus station. They leave at half hour intevals. |
