Like a dream
I had some wonderful days staying at this gem in Yangshuo. In my opinion to stay here is the only real alternative if traveling to Yangshuo, as the rest of the region is more or less ruined by mass tourism. For me it was actually a question of paying a little extra to stay here or not to travel to Yangshuo at all. I am so thankful that I chose the first option as it turned out to be the highlight of my 2 weeks traveling in China. Eventhough it’s only a 15 minute drive to the city centre of Yangshuo (which really was a dump), it feels as a lightyear away. Here you are surrounded by farmland and slow life, without tacky tourist things. Last but not least, the landscape is surreal. Dreamlike karst mountains in all directions. I loved to sit at my balcony with a magnificent view of the river and the mountains. The rest of the time I spent bicycling alongside the river and to some old villages. About the hotel: It’s eco friendly and urges to sustainability. The American owner happened to be visiting during my stay. He was friendly and seemed sensible. He cares about the hotel’s impact on the environment and about his employees, who are people from local villages. They were friendly and professional. My room was lovely and I didn’t miss anything. Not all rooms have balconies, but, depending on the weather, you can always enjoy the view from the garden. The vegetarian food was surprisingly boring. E.g. plain vegetables or noodles without anything(!) I was chronically hungry..!
