What and Where to Eat in Yangshuo

We planned to have our dinner at the famous Cloud 9 Restaurant (聚福楼) on our first night in Yangshuo (阳朔). My friend was assigned the task to bring us to this restaurant. Said it is located on West Street (西街), but we just could not find the restaurant walking up and down the street for [...]
