You´ll probably while away the evenings in Yangshuo drinking beer and eating in Xi Jie´s numerous restaurants. These are relatively upmarket,serving pretty authentic Western fare, from wood-fired pizzas and char-grilled steak, to apple pie and ice cream; others have decent Chinese menus,including local specialities such as cane rats, fresh bamboo shoots and river fish. Alternatively, cafes on Xi Jie and Xian Qian Jie -the latter also currently at the core of.Yangshuo rock-climbing scene - offer nmch the same things, though prices are a bit lower and the food more ordinary; most also screen films in the evenings. Both restaurants and cafes open early in the morning for Western breakfasts and coffee, and in good weather might host outdoor barbecues. Everyone finds their own favourites, and the following recommendations should be treated as a starting point. There are also plenty of inexpensive Chinese canteens and food stalls selling noodle soups and buns around the market and upper Xi Jie.Eating aside, the cinema on Xi Jie is busy every night, as are countless private VCD screens easily located by the high-volume, scream-and-thud soundtracks emanating from within. Besides, you can also have a nice chance to try the four treatures of Li River: Li River Fish, Li River Snail, Li River Shrimp and Li River Crab.
