Hi, there is a bus from Yangshou to pingan. I believe there is a left luggage but you need to google it. I saw it in another village, Dazhai. Pingan is more commercialised n so should have such facilities. I believe the last bus to guilin is 5 PM. I took the 1 pm bus. You can consider arranging for private transport from pingan to guilin airport if cost is not a problem. When do u intend to go?

Hi Ping'An is a very small village. Whatever accommodation you choose you will only be a few minutes at most from great views over the rice terraces. Walking to the two viewing platforms will give you a number of great views. We stayed in the Longji Ping'An Hotel and it provided great views from the rooms. I hope this helps. Regards Alistair

Bonjour Rien n interdit le vélo mais pente très dure pour y accéder et une fois dans le village ce n est pas pratiquable Mais c est à voir

Hi , you can visit Ping An village around Christmas . The temperature could be 5 to 8 degree and night around 0 . Guesthouse are equipped with heater , less crowded and winter view is totally different . Hope this helps .

all depends on how much time you have and WHEN you travel. stay away from Chinese public holidays! a) Guilin which you reach from abroad via any major international airport, the closest major one probably is Guangzhou. b) hotels do offer transport and booking with hotels is likely to be cheaper than with one of the chinese inbound agents who tend to rip you off. For example we had a Guilin-Yangshuo-Longshen (Ping'an) tour offer from the best online information page for China you can probably find but they'd rip us off with guide, car and driver for up to RMB 3500 per day. While online/e-mail consultancy was excellent we ended up researching our trip in more detail and organising it all ourselves including a brand new Mercedes Viano with a driver showing x times more effort to guide us for RMB 1200 per day c) as stated above Yuangshuo is def a nice add on, amazing scenery. you might want to go via Guilin and take the Li River cruise down to Yangshuo. In and around Yanshuo is plenty to see and do. The Mountain Retreat above is a really nice place, most luxurious probably is Banyan Tree Yangshuo outside the city. d) Guilin-Longshen (Ping'an) and Yangshuo will give you plenty to do and see for up to 2 weeks, if you really have more time and budget China can keep you busy for months eg Tibet, Yunnan, Zhangjie,... Best source for travelling China is CHINAHIGHLIGHTS (just google it), shop there, book elsewhere. They'll rip you off as hard as they can. Although to be fair, their website is so good they should be allowed to charge for it which likely would make more money than their other business practices.

There is no issue with taking cases up the steps, as this is done by a group of very strong ladies from the village who charge 40 Yuan for the service, and it is well worth it. I can't see any reason for leaving cases at the base unless they are really huge. Our cases were both around 18kg and posed no problem.
