It's a difficult choice. I've done both and they were both fantastic. So the only way to decide is to list the pros and cons of each:

Yangshuo
Pros:
- Amazing, breath-taking scenery
- Great for renting a bike and cyling about, exploring little villages
- Can do rock climbing or just stroll up some of the peaked hills
- Yangshuo is a very Western friendly town with cute little cafes and Western restaurants. The breakfasts there are great (banana pancakes, yunnan coffee, natural yoghurt with muesli etc.)
- You have a wide choice of bars to go to
- Easy to meet people in hostels

Cons:
- Too many tourists
- Tourist junk everywhere

Longsheng:
-Amazing scenery
-Really clean, fresh air
- Interesting wooden houses and minority culture
- Can do treks through the valleys and hills and explore remote little villages where locals may invite you in for a cup of tea
- Not many people if you go at the right time
- Friendly locals and cheap accomodation options
- No cars, traffic, pollution

Cons:
- More hassle to get to
- Not as many dining options as Yangshuo (it's tiny)
- When trekking, local kids may harass you for money
- Locals may also try to invite you for tea, but for money

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
