====================================
Yangshuo has many hotels. Which one do you want to choose? In the off season you may find easily a hotel, cheap enough for you. How about the peak season? Chinese New Year is approaching. From my own experiences in Yangshuo, it will be quite busy. It may be hard to find a hotel. Here's where the Yangshuo Travel Guide comes with help.
We have two excellent hotels for you.

These hotels have a special deal with us and will keep as long as they can keep rooms for us reserved. Both are actually much better then the price of the rooms, trust me.
====================================
Jessie Lu is my guide in Yangshuo. I have been writing this before and I tell everyone who asks. She my guide and she's the best. The reason is very simple. Jessie knows places to visit none of the other guides know or want to know. Most of the guides in Yangshuo don't do more then drop you at Moon Hill or at the caves entrances. "That is not guiding", Jessie says. "I take visitors to places they will really see the real rural China".
Now, as a seasoned traveler and living for almost a year on and off in Yangshuo, I know how true Jessie's words are. Jessie comes originally from a little village nearby Yangshuo. And if you book Jessie, she'll show you where her parents live, her old school and show you places only a few (not even all) locals know to find.
And Jessie is great company, speaks (and writes) excellent English and, very important, has a great sense of humor. What else do you need? Here's more about Jessie

Thaipusam in Malaysia
As I live in Malaysia, the Thaipusam is a huge festival and trust me, it's very spectacular. See for example my report of last year::

and the photo page

For the Thaipusam in 2008, we have a special tour coming up. This very private and very limited tour brings you to the main area in Penang to enjoy and experience the Thaipusam from nearby. Our tour will include the most important temples during the festival and you will get a guide who knows all the ins and outs of this spectacular event.
You can join me on a tour we have set up:
