my rec is to buy and cook yourself. for a nice sized steak, you can get them for 15yuan all the way up to 100 or so... i cooked myself a 20 one and it was absolutely delicious. carrefour, walmart, they've all got them.

Hope I'm not too late on this post, but I went to Shilin ast Tuesday.

You can only take a bus TO Shilin. But the station has changed. You can no longer take a bus from the southern station. You need to take a bus or a taxi out East, to 东部 (dong1bu4). You can get on there and tickets are about 35RMB. On the way back I made a huge mistake by taking the train. TAKE THE BUS BACK! I bought a hard seat ticket but when I got on they had overbooked the train without telling me. I spent the whole time back standing or squatting on the floor.

Also: when you buy a ticket to Shilin at 东部 there are two choices: Shilin 县城 ( xian4cheng2, the city) and Shilin 景区(jing3qu1, the park).　　Choose wisely.
