Normally you can because the station staff is not strict with the size of luggage.

You can cover the famous attractions in Guilin and nearby Yangshuo within 3-4 days. For the tour guide, the private Guilin and Yangshuo tours provided by travelchinaguide saving your worry are recommended.

Thanks for your reply. We’d like to travel on our own, not joining tour groups. But thinking we need a local private guide to plan an itinerary and recommend ideal routes, hotels, transportations, etc.

Currently, the direct flight is out of service. If you insist on traveling by flight, a transfer is needed and the travel time will be much longer. I recommend high speed train instead, which takes around 7 hours and CNY350 for a second class seat.
