Hi E. Chin, sorry but we do not have the address for the shops. However, there are only several paper Fans manufacturers there. It's very easy to find them. No worries. The Fuli town is quite small.
It is about 550 KM from Shenzhe to Yangshuo. The best way from Shenzhe to Yangshuo is to take a train from Shenzhen to Guilin and then take a bus from Guilin to Yangshuo.
Hi Luqman,
It is about 700 kilometres from Shenzhen to Yangshuo. Besides plane, you can take bus. There are buses from Shenzhen to Yangshuo now. It will take you 8 hours.

Nice day!
Hi Amy,
Usually hotels offer simple free map of the area, do you need me to check whether your hotel offers free maps? If yes, just forward me the hotel name and address.
Hi Candy,
I have got the free map from the hotel but it is just too brief. I have printed out a more details one from this site but when I enlarge it, it is not clear really. If you can get a clearer A4 size one for me, it will be great and I appreciate that. Thanks.
Hi Amy,
Sorry to say that we don't have maps between Guilin and Yangshuo, you can get one at your hotel or a book store at about CNY10.
