Bargain hunting and bartering is fun. All the "good quality" stuff is in the back shop, and don't pay more than 25% of the starting price. More

Lined with shops and cafe, West Street is relatively busy during the day, with day tripping tourists (mainly Chinese) coming off the boat from Guillin.. But at night.. shazam! Wow, it's incredibly crowded and loud with all the restos and bars coming alive! But it's great people watching - loved it! More

There is no escaping the fact that West St is the tourist trap in town. Most of the locals give it a wide berth. Just about everything is overpriced. But hey if you don't take it too seriously it is not a bother. Before the tourist boats arrive it is possible to extract a meaningful trade and there are one... More

This is a lovely cobbled street with many shops and restaurants. Be sure to bargain if you are out shopping and check many stores for the same item. There are some great alleyways to explore where you will find rooftop bars and great local food much cheaper then actual west street. The western breakfasts on West street are very good,... More

Great shopping street! Most of the "100% Silk" isn't. Be sure to check out the nice batik table cloths. More

Although basically a shopping street it is still a fun place to go. Bought hand painted t shirts with our kids names in Chinese characters and seals with hand carved bottoms. Lots of restaurans and street fun. More

The street is lined with beautiful old houses against a backdrop of mountains that make Guilin famous. It's almost surreal to be walking down an ancient street with loud pumping bars playing the latest pop music and pole dancing. Must visit to be awed. More

It is ok during the day but once evening comes around it gets very noisy and crowded. It is good for people watching while eating. Even though the places we had food at I can not recommend. It seems pretty clear that places there do not depend on repeat customers. I found it somewhat annoying that there are constantly street... More
