After a long bus ride we managed to get from Yangshuo to Longshen. Let me say so much: The place is about as expensive as it is beautiful. The entrepreneurial spirit of Chinese rice farmers seems to be unrivalled. They now charge 50 RMB entry fee into their village, which - judging from the number of tour buses on the parking lot - likely surpasses their income from farming.
How much longer until they realize that they can even have tourists pay to work on the rice paddies for a day? All they'll then have to do is charge some tourists to prepare the rice fields and charge all other tourists to watch them get prepared. What a deal!
