Guilin

We've arrived in Guilin and we already fell for a tout who managed to take us to a restaurant which sold us pijiu yu (beerfish) for three times the going rate.

Unfortunately we were dumb enough to order without asking for the prices in advance, as the dishes advertised outside were all moderately priced. Hell, did this get on my nerves! I REALLY should know better by now!

For the more curios of my readership: We paid 200 Yuen (~33 CHF) for a fish, noodles, some beef and a beer. While this would still be moderate for a two-person meal in Switzerland, it still bugs me, as it's vastly overpriced for China...

But let's talk about the more positive things: Guilin is a beautiful place! The lake with the illuminated towers looks really great at night. And we've even found a nice place that serves excellent coffee and small meals.
