Yangshuo Travel: A Stylish and Secluded Getaway Amidst Mountains and Rivers

In the picturesque landscape of Guilin, known for its stunning natural beauty, the Guilin Yangshuo voco Hotel stands as a pearl nestled among the karst peaks. As a luxury brand under the InterContinental Hotels Group, it redefines the exquisite experience of mountain and river retreats. The newly opened Guilin Yangshuo voco Hotel has captured hearts with its "immersive landscape aesthetics" and has become a must-visit landmark in Yangshuo, thanks to its thoughtful details and deep integration with the surrounding natural and cultural resources. 🛏 Stylish and Minimalist Guest Rooms The Yangshuo voco Hotel features 73 guest rooms spread across six buildings named after family members. The room design is centered around the concept of "hidden in the landscape, revealed in texture," transforming the artistic conception of Yangshuo's mountains and rivers into modern design language. Each room is equipped with floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows and a viewing balcony, making the Camel Peak and Yulong River scenery seem within reach. The smart home system allows for one-touch control of lighting and curtains, seamlessly blending technology with natural beauty. The bedding is made of high-thread-count cotton, offering a cloud-like touch. The bathrooms feature Dyson hair dryers and high-end Australian skincare brand Appelles toiletries. The woody fragrance blends with the mountain and river atmosphere, washing away travel fatigue. The rooms are adorned with elements such as ink paintings and bamboo-woven lamps. The abstract landscape patterns on the headboard echo the real scenery outside the window, creating an atmosphere of "traveling in a painting." 🎨 Public Area Design with Nature and Art The hotel's public areas adopt a design philosophy of "blurring the boundaries between architecture and nature," incorporating the grand poetry of the karst landscape into every space. The Camel Peak Rice Paddy Coffee House is the hotel's signature spot. A vintage steam train meanders through the gilded rice paddies, and the panoramic terrace frames the peaks as a natural painting. Sip a cup of coffee and watch the mountain shadows reflected in the cup, as if drinking in the four seasons of Yangshuo. The outdoor swimming pool and garden are also major highlights. When the weather is nice, strolling through the hotel's outdoor areas can be incredibly relaxing. On special occasions, there are even firework displays in the evening, which are very entertaining. The infinity pool complements the karst peaks, and the poolside loungers are perfect for an afternoon nap. The 24-hour smart gym is equipped with Technogym equipment, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offer views of the rice paddies, allowing you to connect with nature while exercising. 👨‍🍳 Authentic Shunde Cuisine and Cantonese-Guilin Flavors The hotel's Chinese restaurant, "Yue Shun Ge," specializes in Cantonese-Guilin fusion cuisine. The chef team delves into local ingredients, infusing the essence of Yangshuo's mountains and rivers into the dishes. A must-try signature dish is the Li River Beer Fish, made with fresh Yulong River fish and flavored with Guilin Sanhua liquor. The fish is tender and slightly spicy, paired with handmade rice noodles that soak up the broth, making it a "Yangshuo flavor business card." There are also many authentic Shunde dishes, prepared with great care and deliciousness. Even when away from home, they can satisfy the discerning taste buds of Cantonese people. ⛰ Surrounding Activities Amidst Mountains and Rivers The hotel is located in the heart of the Shili Gallery, with essential Yangshuo attractions within a 15-minute drive. You can also explore lesser-known spots on foot. ✓ Shili Gallery Cycling: Rent a bicycle/electric bike and embark on an exploration of the Shili Gallery. The scenery along the way is beautiful, and you'll pass by several famous attractions, allowing you to play, explore, and stop as you please. ✓ Yulong River Bamboo Rafting: Take a bamboo raft through the classic "Shuie Di - Gongnong Bridge" section, traversing the karst peaks. The splashing water as you go over the dam and the rice paddies on both sides create a picturesque scene. ✓ Yangshuo West Street: The hotel offers a free shuttle bus to the street. This ancient street has transformed into a "global English corner," where you can chat with travelers from all over the world and experience the collision of Chinese and Western cultures. ✓ Impression Sanjie Liu: A landscape performance directed by Zhang Yimou, using the Li River as the stage and the peaks as the backdrop. The combination of light, shadow, and ethnic song and dance is more stunning than expected. ✓ Xingping Ancient Town: Visit the "Yellow Cloth Reflection" featured on the CNY 20 note, taste a bowl of Songhua candy in the old town alleys, and catch a glimpse of fishermen and cormorants fishing at dusk. Time seems to stand still here. Guilin Yangshuo voco Hotel (Shili Gallery Yulong River Branch)
