I've been helping out here at Chinaclimb (an Australian owned company) in Yangshuo for the past 6 months and the potential of this whole region is mind blowing. Very interesting to hear about Jiulong. Also echo the views about Zhuhai, some awesome boulders scattered all over that city. Not sure if you are allowed to climb on them though as many of them are in parks.

Unfort i gotta go back to Oz next week but i think Aussie climber Simon Weill will be coming back soon to keep on with the route development. Maybe 150-200 boulted routes here now, double the amount this time last year. As Frances has found out for herself, you dont have to go to far to find a classic line never been climbed before. I'll back here before long to to try and get something set up in Xing Ping, this cool friendly old fishing town about half an hour up the Li River from Yangshuo. Would be great to see some more Aussies up here next summer, Sept-Dec is the best time to be here. There is also a new Bangkok-Guilin (1hr from Yangshuo) flight run by Bangkok Air which makes a Krabi-Yangshuo climbing holiday too easy (and cheap). DO IT!
