Free walking tours in Guilin

We wandered through a vibrant local market that was absolutely bursting with character. We feasted on succulent vegetable stews and sizzling spicy beef, washing it all down with the locals' favorite rice wine—affectionately known as "happy water." It was pure bliss! Hans even took me out for a bowl of luosifen (snail rice noodles), which instantly became the standout dish of my entire month in China. We soaked up the local vibe in a neighborhood, watching lively dances and joining in on friendly chats. Hans filled me in on all sorts of local customs and traditions, giving me a taste of life that you just can't find in any guidebook. It was an absolutely unforgettable experience that I'd recommend to anyone!

Hans led a fantastic tour. He is a chef and a local, so he knows where to get all the good food for a good price. You know it's gonna be good street food when they have been there for years or decades. Also, he knows a lot of the vendors, which makes it all the more of a welcoming, local, authentic experience. I wish I had more time in Yangshuo to do his cooking class, which you can find on Trip Advisor. Highly recommended if you are in Yangshuo.
