Li River Resort

Excellent spot on the Li River, away from the noise of the once-great West Street, but still within a 20ish min walk mostly on a paved foot path from the restaurants, bars, and shops of the area. If you take the river cruise down from Guilin and disembark at Longtoushan Pier (I think that’s the name), the crowd will all head left to the city, but the hotel is to the right about 2k on foot. A bit of a trek with bags, but without bags it’s an easy way to and from the commercial area. Hotel was beautiful and clean as can be. Staff was maybe the best I’ve come across in China (I’ve been around a bit). Super helpful, accommodating, excellent English, and put together a great (and massive) Chinese breakfast. Had a big menu with western options too that served most of the day. Get a room with a balcony and pencil in time to chill at the pool and just do nothing . Great spot to have no agenda. There is a rental garage just across the small road with bikes and e-bikes. Prices are higher than in the city and quality was mid, but the convenience of being across the street balanced it out. To scoot to the half-moon arch are you need to ride through town first, but if you head the other direction, you hit small villages an winding scenic roads. Both good choices. Loved the hotel, wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Yangshuo.

The staff was extremely friendly and very nice to talk to. The rooms where clean and I enjoyed my stay very much (:

Beautiful view of the surroundings! The staff was very nice and helpful. Thank you for your hospitality and great service.
