Getting a local map by the roadside vendors. It will show you the major location of most of the sights as well as the detailed bus routes. Buses are an ideal way to get around on a budget. A useful one might be No. 58 which can take you to many attractions. Reed Flute Cave (Located about 5km west of town. Catch bus No.3 or rent bikes and buy a map for a pleasant cycle.). It opens from 8AM to 5.30PM. This limestone cave with impressive staligmite/staligtites is worth a visit. You may have to wait a while for a large enough group to accumulate.
A Li River cruise ship downtown to Yangshuo is very popular. The scenery along the Li River is really picturesque and fascinating. It starts from 9am everyday. Never miss it!
The local delicacy is Guilin Rice Noodles (Gui Lin Mi Fen), also available as stir-fried (Chao Fen). This is served everywhere, but try to avoid the joints near the train station. Traditionally the noodle and the topping is first eaten without soup, and once the topping has run out there is usually a pot of soup to add flavour to the rest of your noodles. There are also various pickles and condiments that you can add to your noodles.
A local snack is "Horse hoof cake" (Ma Ti Gao), which is a crumbly cake stuffed with red beans filling. Another delicious breakfast item is sweet tofu infused with a certain flower. Look for roadside vendors adding orange-coloured liquid to a steaming hot bag of tofu, which you then drink with a straw.
This place is called Wang Jiang Lou, a nongjia operated by the Li family. It is right across the river from the town, so has very beautiful view of it. It is clean, the food is excellent, and the family is very friendly and welcoming. Food, modest amout of beer, and lodging for 5 persons in two clean rooms (with toilet and hot shower down the hall) for 3 nights was ¥600. Beds are 20-25RMB per night.
Our visit just met the harvest time. The field paddies were absolutedly spectacular. The road to Kaili was poor and it cost us almost 3 hours by then. It now takes maybe less than an hour since the road to Kaili has been repaired. The people were wonderful, working extremely hard to reap the crops (We were told by the guide that the farmers had only one crop harvest in a year). Drop your steps here, you will love it.
