GGuest UserThis was a spontaneous, relaxing trip, and I didn't really compare hotels much when booking. But I was so lucky to have chosen this one; it made the trip perfect for my daughter and me.
The hotel is right by the Yulong River (Qing'e Ferry Crossing), making it super convenient for bamboo rafting. It's also very close to the Ten-Mile Gallery. You can rent an e-bike to explore the nearby sights: the Millennium Banyan Tree, Liu Sanjie's Singing Stage, Moon Hill, Five Finger Mountain... Along the way, you might stumble upon unique coffee shops. Some courtyards are full of persimmon trees, their branches laden with bright red persimmons that look like little red lanterns (at first, I thought they were fake!). Another courtyard was covered in canola flowers; it's prime season now, and the golden expanse against the green hills and water is incredibly striking.
Built along the river, the hotel itself offers fantastic views. From our window, we had an unobstructed panorama of Yangshuo. The hotel also has an elegant little courtyard with a swimming pool (though the weather these past two days wasn't suitable for swimming), tents, and lounge chairs. In the morning, the hotel even arranged a cormorant fishing show, which my daughter found very engaging. And because it's riverside, the hotel provides fishing services – perfect for men to relax by the river and fish. In the afternoon, the hotel offers afternoon tea. My daughter and I would come back from our outings and enjoy tea and desserts on the first floor; it was truly delightful!
When we first arrived, I thought the hotel's location was a bit tucked away and hard to find, making me wish I had booked a hotel closer to the main road. But after two days, I realized its secluded location was actually a plus – it's much quieter. Plus, the hotel provides a shuttle service, making it very convenient to get around!
The hotel's service was incredibly thoughtful and attentive! The front desk had disinfectant wipes, eye masks, hand warmers, sanitary pads, and other daily essentials. It was a bit chilly and rainy these past two days, and in the evening, the hotel even roasted steaming, sweet, and delicious sweet potatoes – they were wonderful! I heard the hotel also organizes other various small activities, but I only stayed two nights and didn't get to experience them all.
I'll stop here for now, but overall, it's a highly recommended hotel!
