Hotel Recommendations
Yangshuo Hua Shan Yun She
Located on the left side of the mountain on the back of the 20 yuan note, facing Xianggong Mountain from afar
Rooms feature large balconies, courtyards, or patios, where you can look up at the steepness of thousands of peaks and ridges, gaze at the majesty of rolling clouds over countless mountains, and overlook the misty Li River at a glance
Lying in bed in the morning to watch the sunrise over the sea of clouds, or savoring coffee in the evening while watching the sunset over the mountains, is incredibly pleasant
Yangshuo Banyan Tree
Following the winding Li River and the stacked karst landscape, Yangshuo Banyan Tree is hidden among bamboo forests and rice fields
Entering the hotel is like stepping into the residence of an ancient wealthy family, with walls of black tiles and white walls, courtyards, ponds, rockeries, pavilions...
You can sit on the balcony to enjoy the garden view, or drift down the Li River with a group of friends. The hotel has its own dock and boats, which is very convenient

Guilin | Hidden Elephant Trunk Hill Viewpoint! No Crowds! No Tickets!
| Hidden Elephant Trunk Hill Viewpoint! No Crowds! No Tickets!
My friends and I went to the entrance of Elephant Trunk Hill Scenic Area, but it was packed with tour groups.
But! Just cross the road! Right across the street! The 7th floor viewing platform of the hotel! No one there! Super easy to take photos! If I had known about this place, I wouldn't have squeezed into the scenic area in the heat!
We just booked a room and stayed there.
1. The environment is great, the room is big enough, the bathroom is separate, and there is a super large bathtub. 2. During your stay, you can enjoy free travel photography at the hotel! You can take photos in the hotel or in the scenic area!
3. The hotel offers pick-up and drop-off service to Guilin North Station/Guilin West Station.
4. The buffet breakfast is very rich (p6).
5. You can enjoy an 8.5% discount coupon for the 7th floor Alice Restaurant. We ordered three dishes, and the black truffle roast chicken was so delicious that I was stunned! So delicious!!

A few minutes' walk to Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas Park!
There are also night markets with lots of cheap snacks!! But I suggest you buy food as soon as it gets dark. We arrived at 10 o'clock and many of them were sold out.

I've discovered a hotel with a panoramic view of Elephant Trunk Hill
【Hotel Name】Jingxiang Hotel
Address: No. 8 Binjiang Road, Guilin City🏘️
Of course, you can't miss the famous Elephant Trunk Hill when you come to Guilin. I've been thinking about finding a hotel close to the scenic area after landing. I didn't expect to find such a treasure. It's adjacent to Elephant Trunk Hill, just opposite Gate No. 2 of Xiangshan Park. You can see the view of Elephant Trunk Hill as soon as you check in, and the location is also very convenient for getting around.
-
The hotel's service attitude is really warm and friendly. They offered a welcome gift and afternoon tea, and the facilities are really comprehensive. There's nothing they haven't thought of arranging for you.
The overall style of the hotel is simple and luxurious. I was truly surprised when I entered the room. Although I had seen pictures posted by others, I couldn't help but marvel at the natural wonder. You can directly see the face of Elephant Trunk Hill from inside the room (let those who love to queue do so; I'll sit on the bed and watch hhh). The bathroom also shows great attention to detail; the hand towels are even folded into the shape of a little elephant. They've incorporated many local elements. Since the hotel is right next to the Elephant Trunk Hill scenic area, there's also the Jingxiang Pavilion on the 6th floor, specifically for viewing Elephant Trunk Hill. Drinking coffee and admiring the view, I've grown even fonder of this hotel. I really made the right choice. For breakfast, head to the 7th floor to the Airy Terrace Restaurant, where you can enjoy a 270-degree view of Elephant Trunk Hill.
-
The overall decoration style of the hotel is really suitable for friends who love to take photos. Most importantly, on the hotel's 7th-floor viewing platform, you can have breakfast while overlooking the entire scenic area. It's truly a treat. This is the warmest hotel I've stayed at in Guilin.

In fact, the city area of Guilin is very suitable for mountain and water sightseeing, family trips, and couple outings. As a local Guilin resident, I will take you to enjoy the city area in three days and two nights👇, saving time without falling into tourist traps!

High-speed rail is very convenient, going directly to the city center, with Guilin Station being more convenient than Guilin North Station and Guilin West Station.
