There is also a great cooking school just outside Yangshuo in Chao Long village in a fantastic old original farmhouse. Transport is included though it is only 10 minutes. Check www.yangshuocookingschool.com.

some guy's experience of learning Chinese cooking. hope it help   [font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans serif"][size=2][b][quote] [font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans serif"][size=2][b]"Vegetarian Chinese Cooking"[/b] This was a full one-day course held at the [link=http://chinesefood.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.calexplorer.com/cityscene/chinese%5Fcultural/index.html][u][color=#236eb5]Chinese Cultural Center[/color][/u][/link].  Based on the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, I feel cheered every time I see the building's bright red columns and unusual blue-tiled roof.  [/size][/font] [font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans serif"][size=2]Passing the lions guarding the stairs, I entered the building and immediately turned right into a tiny kitchen.  There was barely enough room for one long table, chairs and a stove.     [/size][/font] [font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans serif"][size=2]The Asian instructor flagged me down as I entered the room.  It turned out I was a victim of one of those annoying bureaucratic foul-ups that happen to us all on occasion.  I had been told the course would be taught in English, while our instructor thought everyone spoke Cantonese.  However, she was very accommodating, patiently repeating instructions and directions in English throughout the day.  Classmates came to my aid as well, translating the recipes.  (I now know the Chinese symbols for tablespoon and other common cooking terms).[/size][/font] [font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans serif"][size=2]While this strategy worked for me, I wouldn't recommend it for everyone.  Since Chinese Cuisine is my passion, I didn't need to ask basic questions about stir-frying or steaming.  What questions I did ask I chose carefully, since I didn't think it was fair to make the instructor repeat the entire course in English! [/size][/font] [font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans serif"][size=2]The atmosphere throughout the day was very relaxed.  One woman brought her little girl, who took great delight in helping roll out the dough for scallion pancakes.  I left with my arms piled high with Styrofoam boxes containing yummy leftovers, and an addiction to stir-fried [link=http://chinesefood.about.com/library/blrecipe372.htm][u][color=#236eb5]Bean Curd Rolls[/color][/u][/link] filled with roasted seaweed.[/size][/font] [font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans serif"][size=2]One thing I noticed was that not all the recipes were, strictly speaking, vegetarian.  For example, one called for Worcestershire sauce.  Still, overall the course provided excellent ideas for incorporating Chinese ingredients into a vegetarian diet.  [/size][/font] [/quote][/b][/size][/font]
