Yes, very safe! Guilin city is listed on the China top 10 safest cities. You don’t have to be worried, even you walk in the street in the late evening.

Just like anywhere in the world, tourists/travelers are always the targets or victims of pickpockets. To avoid the bad situation, please visit another webpage for information: http://www.guilinholiday.com/faq-v1275-how-can-i-defend-myself-against-the-pickpockets.

Another suggustion is that when you walk in the street, someone speaking good English may come up to you, telling you that he/she is learning English, later recommend you to dine at a local restaurant or do some shopping somewhere, please don't follow these people, many tourists complained that they got ripped off at those shops or restaurants.
