There are also a few things not usually available elsewhere:
Postcards and picture books of the area, in stores or hawked by older women on the street.
Chinese paintings of the local Karst scenery.
T-shirts
Chinese characters with different slogans, such as "I have no money", or "Foreigner coming" on the front and "Foreigner going" on the back.
Hard Rock Cafe T-shirts are common. There has never been a real Hard Rock Cafe (part of the chain) in Yangshuo, though at least two now defunct places used the name.
Silver and embroidery pieces by local minorities.
Prices for large pieces are high, but some pieces may be worth them.
Small pieces, such as embroidered Zhuang minority love balls, are also available.
You should also bargain on these, of course.
