on my first China trip I wanna spend time in ShenZen and YangShuo (near
Guilin), so please excuse my many newbie questions:

What is a good way to travel from Shenzen to YangShuo?

One of my all time favorite vacations was riding a bicycle from Hong Kong to
Yangshuo. Lots of beautiful small towns and scenic views along the way that
you will miss if you travel by airplane.

That sounds good.

How long did it take you?

And weren't the roads too busy?

Took about 10 days. Distance was about 600km total. The new paved highways
do get a lot of traffic, but the old dirt roads are pretty empty. We used
mountain bikes. If you don't speak Cantonese, you would be wise to hire a
professional guide. The road system is changing quickly and maps are not
reliable.
