• Directions from Guilin to Dazhai Village:
• The direct bus will be the best way to dazhai village. The direct bus from guiln to dazhai village leaves at 9am and 1pm every day from the square outside guilin train station( not guilin north train station). We can easily reserve a seat for you on the bus to Dazhai Village. It will take you directly to the entrance, where you will then make your way up through to Tiantouzhai Village.
• if you can't catch the direct bus, you can take public bus. By public bus: catch the bus to Longsheng(龙胜) at Qin Tan bus station (琴潭汽車站) in Guilin. Get off at He Ping(和平), walk 3 minutes towards the ticket office. Then change the bus at the office to Dazhai Village.
• Directions from Dazhai Village entrance to Dragon's Den:
• We are located in the very scenic Tiantouzhai Village, a 40 minute hike from the base of Dazhai Village. Pay close attention to the signs leading up to Tiantouzhai Village. You may be required to ask local villagers on how to get to Tiantouzhai as there are very few signage. We are also enroute to Scenic Site #2 (Music From Paradise) so keep an eye for that sign as well. You will eventually pass the main public restroom in Tiantouzhai. We are just up ahead with our HI Hostel sign hanging over the path. All signs will be in both English and Chinese.
• Because our hostel is located inside the rice terrace scenic area, so you need to buy ticket at the entrance in heping. The ticket is 100RMB for one person. If you have student card ,it's 50RMB for one person.
