For the travelling vegan/vegetarian in Guilin, this place is as heaven-sent as its location would want you to believe; even finding vegetarian food was a tall order in the small eateries throughout the town. As far as Buddhist buffets go, the food is of a high standard, though a little more expensive than usual. It also seems to be very popular with local families, at least at lunchtimes. As the seating is mostly large banqueting style-tables, it took a while to get seated as a lone diner; groups of two or three might also experience the same problem. The buffet itself is the usual array of vegetables, tofu, mushrooms, buns, noodles, rice, soups, none of which was boiled or fried to excess. The atmosphere is the usual pleasantness associated with these kinds of buffets, though markedly more boisterous due to the number of group diners. The restaurant is the closest HC listing to the city centre, but takes around 20 - 30 mins to walk there from the bus station or south railway station. Should anyone want to take a taxi, drivers are a tough bunch to deal with in Guilin, as one can expect in a tourist town. A taxi from the bus station or south railway station to this restaurant should not cost more than 20RMB (should anyone succeed in getting a metered cab, I imagine it would be even less) - do not accept anything higher.
