Guest User📍Yangshuo – So 'city' staying inside the 20 RMB banknote with the kids!
Ever since I became a mom, traveling has been all about avoiding hassle. This time, I brought my one-year-old to Yangshuo and discovered this hidden gem of a guesthouse in Xingping Ancient Town – Li Hua Chen's Garden. It was so worry-free, I nearly cried tears of joy! @Yangshuo Chen's Garden Resort Hotel
📍Perfect Location, No Stress with Kids
The guesthouse is right in the core scenic area where the 20 RMB banknote backdrop is, built alongside the river, directly facing the Li River. A few steps downstairs take you to the bamboo raft boarding point, and exploring Xingping Ancient Town is super convenient. Open the window, and you're greeted by the picturesque Li River landscape. We could enjoy the mountains and rivers from our room with the baby, avoiding the crowds.
🏠Comfortable Room, Perfect Details
The room came equipped with a Dyson hairdryer and a smart toilet. The mattress was a King Koil, and the pillows were white goose down – incredibly comfortable. There was also a clean, dreamy bathtub with milk bath salts. After the baby was asleep, I could soak in the tub and enjoy the mountain view, letting all the fatigue melt away!
📸Sky Mirror, Instant Blockbuster Shots
The Sky Mirror on the 5th floor is a must-visit spot! The reflections of the mountains and rivers are as beautiful as a fairyland, making every shot a masterpiece. There's also a pool and garden on the first floor, and the baby had a blast playing in the yard.
💁♀️Attentive Service, Like Coming Home
The service was absolutely impeccable! Not only did they offer free breakfast and afternoon tea, but also thoughtful late-night snacks. The staff were incredibly patient with my baby. They even brought me a pot of tea when they saw me organizing photos, and sent us off warmly when we checked out.
Choosing the right accommodation is so crucial when traveling with kids, and this place is definitely the ultimate family-friendly spot in Yangshuo! While the baby is still young, let's show him more of this world 🌿

98KatharinaI visited during the off-peak season, and the hotel's location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk from the cruise pier, making it convenient to get to West Street. The river view room really won me over, and there's also a viewing terrace upstairs. The service was great; the front desk and restaurant staff were very polite and thoughtful. The hardware facilities are far superior to chain hotels – the lighting control, power outlets, sofa, and bedside tables are all very thoughtfully designed. The only minor thing is that the cruise boats on the river might sound their horns; I heard it twice in the morning, but it was still acceptable. I'd give it a 4.5-star rating to encourage them! 😁 Overall, I highly recommend this place and will choose to stay here again on my next visit.

Zoltan AAmazing hotel with brilliant staff. The view surrounding the hotel is breathtaking. The hotel has everything (including big garden and swimming pool) and provides a 24 hour butler service via Wechat which meant someone was always answering our questions within seconds. They helped arranging food delivery into our room, booking attractions, arranging a driver to take us to Yangshuo (for free in a big air conditioned car), arranging room cleaning time when it's most convinient for us, and so much more. Thank you Kaysen and Mayling!
The room was spacious with a big round bed (which turns 360 degrees and very comfortable) and a big bathtub overlooking the beautiful karst mountains. There was also a seperate big shower room, with excellent water pressure. The room and bathrooms are equipped with everything you need. The hotel provided free fruits, water to our room every day and filled up the minibar for free. We also received free afternoon tea (tea, coffee, cakes, fruits, nuts etc) each afternoon. They have also incuded a free professional photo shoot which I loved. We also received an evening dessert delivered into our room to taste the local flavours.
The breakfast had great variety, excellent coffee and tea, everything I wanted and more, while enjoying the view from the restaurant. The breakfast, the lunch and dinner were all delicious so we kept having all our meals at the hotel (ordering the food several times to our room which was very convenient).
They have free laundry service which can be done all by the hotel or by self service, based on the guest's requirement.
I highly recommend the place.

Guest UserThe room was stunning, offering breathtaking views of the mountains and rivers right from the window—it felt like living inside a painting. It was even better than expected; photos simply don't do it justice. It is truly, super gorgeous in person!
The entire team provided incredibly warm service throughout our stay. Our butler, Yue Liang and Li Zhi, were simply amazing!
Breakfast was lavish, with a choice of Chinese or Western styles. I went with the Chinese breakfast, and the full set came in a super generous portion, plus there was a self-service buffet for other items. The breakfast venue was also gorgeous, with views of the mountains.
They also provided a complimentary afternoon tea, which was quite delicious.
The location is fantastic, right inside the Ten-mile Gallery scenic area.
The hotel features a rooftop observation deck with great views, as well as a swimming pool (about 1.2 meters deep, I believe) where you can swim while enjoying the scenery. There were also two swim rings available.
The lobby of Courtyard No. 2 has a piano (that you can actually play!) and cute cats (about four of them, and very friendly).
Highly recommended for a relaxing hotel stay. The Yulong River is right nearby for a casual stroll, and there's a very pretty, super chill coffee shop right at the entrance.
Such a wonderful experience overall! My only regret is that the holiday was too short. I will definitely be back next time! ☺️

Staying here with my mom was, by far, one of the best experiences we’ve had in China. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed and cared for. The hotel is in an absolutely amazing location, surrounded by beautiful countryside and incredible views. There is such a peaceful and calming energy throughout the entire property—it’s the kind of place where you instantly feel relaxed and completely disconnected from the outside world. Waking up in the morning to the sound of birds singing was honestly one of my favorite parts of our stay.
The staff were incredibly welcoming, kind, and attentive. They genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our time there, and their warmth made the whole experience feel even more special.
We also loved all the activities the hotel offers. Every morning, we joined the Tai Chi sessions, which were such a beautiful way to start the day and really allowed us to embrace the peaceful atmosphere of the place. We also participated in several of the hotel’s cultural activities, including a Calligraphy class and a traditional Tea ceremony. These experiences made our stay feel much more meaningful and gave us the opportunity to learn and connect with the local culture in such a lovely setting.
Another highlight was renting a scooter and exploring the surrounding countryside. It was such a fun way to discover the area at our own pace, and the scenery along the way was absolutely beautiful.
Overall, it’s safe to say that my mom and I absolutely loved our stay. We truly had no complaints whatsoever and honestly didn’t want to leave! We’re already talking about coming back ASAP because this place felt like such a special little escape. If you’re looking for somewhere peaceful, authentic, welcoming, and full of character, I couldn’t recommend this place enough. We left feeling relaxed, happy, and very grateful for the experience.
P.S. They also have the cutest little cat and dog roaming around the property, which made the stay even more charming! 🐱🐶❤️

Guest UserThe location is fantastic! Right outside, you have the Li River, and it's super close to West Street. The room has a bay window and a tea ceremony setup, perfect for taking amazing photos. You can even see Xu Beihong's former residence from the window. The mattress is wonderfully soft and thoughtful, ensuring a super comfortable sleep after a long day of walking. Full marks! The restaurant on the first floor is a must-try, highly rated and affordable. The service is warm and friendly, and overall, it offers incredible value for money. Highly recommended!

Anonymous User1. **Facilities & Hygiene:** The mattress was comfortable, the bathroom had a great wet/dry separation, and there was a high-quality bathtub. Upon entering the room, there was a fresh, pleasant aroma, and the cleanliness was impeccable.
2. **Location (Superb):** This hotel is right next to West Street and the Li River. You're just a few dozen meters from the pedestrian street, truly offering a 'quiet retreat in a bustling area.' It was completely peaceful.
3. **Views & Design:** The lobby has a very stylish design, perfect for photos. From the rooftop terrace, you can watch the sunrise and enjoy the scenery (it's supposedly the tallest building on West Street).
4. **Service & Experience:** The front desk staff, particularly the attendant/concierge, were incredibly friendly and helpful. They proactively shared detailed tips for dining, entertainment, and activities, and even assisted with arranging an electric scooter rental. The overall experience was excellent.

Anonymous UserThis hotel is perfect for family trips and just chilling out – the experience was fantastic! The hotel environment far exceeded our expectations, tucked away in the mountains. Every photo we took felt like a professional shot. There's an infinity pool, forest hot springs, and so many scenic spots on the hillside, we couldn't stop taking pictures all day. The room was spacious and clean, making for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The staff were very friendly and responsive. The breakfast was delicious, and during leisure time, we could enjoy tea and mountain views, far from the crowds. It's a top choice for a relaxing getaway with friends. Highly recommended!

Guest UserOur trip to Guilin and Yangshuo left my family and me with so many wonderful memories, and staying at this guesthouse was definitely one of them. The owner is a very gentle and attentive woman who anticipates and takes care of every possible need during a stay. The guesthouse is located in a stunningly beautiful area—just a dozen meters to the intersection, and 50 meters further down leads straight to the Li River, where you can stroll along the bank and watch the sunset. We had three main meals during our time in Yangshuo: one lunch at a local farmhouse recommended by our private car driver, and two dinners at the guesthouse. The farmhouse meal, heavily hyped by the driver, turned out to be exorbitantly expensive and greasy. In contrast, the meals at the guesthouse need to be reserved a day in advance so the host can buy fresh ingredients that same day. The food was delicious, especially the chicken soup, which was exceptionally flavorful! Before the meal, they asked about our taste preferences, and afterwards, they checked in to ask how we liked the food. Wishing this guesthouse continued success!
