famous destination in Guilin Area

Well, I'd like to give you two plans:
1. Take a taxi from downtown to Zhujiang Port, from where you can take a cruise to Yangshuo and wander around Yangshuo West Street.
2. Spend your day exploring downtown area. Elephant Trunk Hill, Reed Flute Cave, Seven Star Park are recommended. The three places are near to each other, so you can also take a taxi travel around.

As for hotels, you are suggested to stay near Elephant Trunk Hill. Jiangxianghe Hotel in 9 Binjiang Rd, Hotel City Comfort Inn in 17 Middle Zhongshan Rd, and Hanting Hotel in 1 Chuanshan Rd are good choices. They are all within 500 meters to the hill.
