Impressions Liú Sānjiě
The top show in town is directed by moviemaker Zhang Yimou, the man who also directed the opening ceremony at the Běijīng Olympics. Six hundred performers, including local fishermen, take to the Lí River each night. Twelve surrounding karst peaks are illuminated as part of the show, which gets rave reviews from many travellers. Book at your hostel or hotel: hotels often arrange slight discounts.

Kaya Bar
Yángshuò had to have a reggae bar, and this is it. Decouple from the village's more hyper drinking holes and decelerate to looped Bob Marley and the occasional reggae party.

River Bar
It's all in the name – stunningly situated by Lí River, this outdoor bar has a hideaway vibe and provides sublime river views while you sip a bewildering array of cocktails. The varied menu includes steaks, pasta, kebabs, and a big list of teas and coffees.

Paulaner
Prices surged after its recent facelift but it still serves the best German beer in town. The big-screen TV is still there for sports fans.

Le Feitz
Frequented by local college students and expats alike, Le Feitz is arguably the most popular Irish pub in Guilin. It has live music almost every evening. It's near the north gate of Guangxi Normal University (朝阳路师大北门; Cháoyáng Lù Shìdàběimén).

Joys Bar
The sturdy wooden furnishing and velvet curtains give this Chinese-style club a classy yet unfussy feel. The clientele is mostly a trendy, 20ish local crowd, but it has started to attract a smattering of expats.

Bar 98
First choice for many of Yángshuò's expat English teachers, this bar has no-nonsense ambience and a pool table. It keeps you entertained most weekdays: live music on Wednesday and Friday evenings, and a trivia quiz game on Tuesdays (after 9pm). All-day breakfasts and vegie burgers are served here.

Aussino
The wine cellar is housed in a beautifully renovated, open-roofed building. It stocks an impressive selection of European wines. No English sign. Look for the misspelt 'Aussino Waild Wines' sign on the east end of the street.
