Longsheng
To answer a few questions in the comments—lots of people, especially the young people, speak English in Shanghai, although certainly not everyone. It’s rarer in the southern part where I am now, but two of my travel companions can speak a little, and we actually have a guide for this part of our trip.
So... I’ve now gone from Guilin to Yangshuo to Longsheng. Yangshuo is surrounded by beautiful scenery, and is a bit of a backpacker town. Longsheng is in the mountains and has, among other things, ancient, tall, terraced rice fields. As we were leaving Yangshuo, one of my travel companions came up to my hotel room to let me know that it was a bit of a walk to our hotel from where the van would drop us off, and said we should just pack a small overnight bag for the evening. I looked at my newly-packed bag and decided I’d just tough it out—I hate packing and unpacking.
Then he told me that it was a 20-minute walk. Up steps.
I repacked.

Steppes?, rice fields, or just steps?
I think you could have done it...for your readership. Imagine blogging every painful struggling step! I would have loved it.
How is the food?
I too would have repacked. I might also have just spent the night at the bottom of the stairs, inviting my companions to collect me in the morning.
