Anyone who's been in China for morethan five minutes knows that bar-gaining is a very prominent part ofthe Chinese cultre But nowhere isthis more striking than in a tourist-oriented lo-cation, and especially during its holiday season.Take Yangshuo for instance. It is a stunninglybeautiful little county 20 km from Guilin inGuangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, a placethat I was lucky enough to spend a week inover the recent summer holidays.
