Hotels in Xingping Ancient Town, Yangshuo

The view of the mountains from the balcony is gorgeous, the hotel is located around 2km away from the city center, which makes it quiet compared to the town. The owners lend us bicycles, very practical to get around. Overall the staff was super friendly and eager to help, I can only recommend!

An absolutely wonderful hotel in the heart of Yangshuo Old Street. The narrow facade is one large room in width, from which there is access to a small courtyard, from the courtyard there is another room (it serves as a dining room for breakfast, breakfasts are excellent), then a staircase to the top (there are just rooms for guests), and then a kitchen-type room, from which there is access to the other side of the building. That is, a series of rooms runs through from the front facade of the building to the back. There are many pots of flowers at the entrance, including this lively, blooming and wonderfully smelling gardenia. In the first room, where any guest enters, there is a coffee shop where delicious coffee is brewed (including served for breakfast). The video, however, shows everything. In addition to the hostess of the hotel (sometimes, especially after sunset, her husband comes), the guests are greeted by a kind, red-haired, like a fox, dog. There is another, already large, dog in the backyard , but it is kept in a booth, it is watchful and serious. There is a free laundry room in the room upstairs, and next to it is a room where 4 cats live, all completely different colors and breeds, wonderfully beautiful, and there the whole room is equipped for them, they have sun beds, toys… The breakfasts are excellent and classic (scrambled eggs, bacon, bread toast, croissants, bananas and melon, orange juice). And coffee, real and delicious. I was genuinely surprised that finding delicious coffee in China wasn't a problem at all. Moreover, it tastes better than in Moscow (and in Moscow coffee is delicious, you won't find it anywhere else in the world, except in Sumatra, Bali and China). Even in the Chinese province there are coffee shops where, for example, delicious osmanthus latte is brewed.

Staying at this Li River scenic area hotel in Yangshuo was a wonderful experience! Converted from an old house, it blends history with modern comfort. The pool was a lifesaver during summer, offering a refreshing escape from the heat. The serene environment ensured peaceful relaxation. The staff went above and beyond, crafting detailed travel plans that made exploring a breeze. To top it off, the local cuisine served here was delicious, truly capturing the flavors of the region. I can't wait to return.

This is the most beautiful hotel I’ve ever been to. Everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations. The hosts very extremely welcoming and friendly. We were really impressed.

This hotel is located at Xingping Ancient Town, staffs are friendly and helpful, room is clean and nice, toilet bowl seat is heated, hotel lobby is well decorated and served with hot tea, sweet potatoes and tangerine through out the day. At the back entrance is the ancient town street, whereas the front entrance is facing the river and there is a car park there. Breakfast is delicious and you can ask for refill. At the top floor, there is a washer cum dryer, you can use it for free. 10 to 15 mins walk to 20RMB scenic area. Overall, we like this hotel and highly recommended this hotel.

The rooms were super nice and clean, great communication to help us organise our trip as well.

This place is an absolute gem. Beautiful hotel and rooms located in picturesque (well that's an understatement) XingPing which is much smaller and much nicer than Yangshuo. The hotel is reasonably isolated in a quiet spot across the river from XingPing village with amazing views. The staff will pick up and drop off whenever you need with their golf carts (5 minute trip) to the ferry to XingPing which crosses all day, ferry is only 5 yuan each. If you are later at night they will arrange the ferry for you. They can book things you need, for example the Impression Liu Sanjio show and you can get to Yangshuo from XingPing village with Didi rides of about half an hour (50-60 yuan). Being in XingPing isn't as convenient as Yangshuo in terms of day-trips etc in the Guilin area as most leave from there or Guilin city, but it is a fabulous spot whereas Yangshuo is big and busy and not that pretty. The hosts were delightful and extremely attentive, they can take you on walking tours or recommend things to do. We walked up Damion mountain which was great, but you need reasonable fitness for this it's very steep but amazing views of the region. Also take a bamboo raft which they will organise for you, find a group of four if you can so cheaper. Owner Joan (I may have the name wrong) was lovely and converses a bit in English, and is genuinely interested in her guests and making their time in XingPing special. Other staff were also friendly and helpful. The breakfast is fabulous and located on the top floor with beautiful views of the countryside, a magical setting for a small hotel. Joan made us a filter coffee each morning. They also offer lunch and dinner food which is very nice as well or you can head over to the old town in XingPing for lots of options. Note though that XingPing is not a late night town, it's very quiet after 9 or 10 pm.

A very special place. Having come from a couple of weeks in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, Langshi village was a wonderful contrast. Felt very welcome and at ease wandering about the village and the local area. The scenery is literally breathtaking and the walks in amongst the karst hills near the village quite remarkable. Laojia itself is a charming house - clearly a huge amount of work was done to restore the house in a traditional manner and yet to make it a comfortable and calming place to stay. As is often the case however, it was the people who made the experience particularly special: Haibo was the most delightful host - he made all the arrangements for out transport to and from Langshi without a hitch and helped us make the most of our time in the village. Xiaomo (?) cooked us some excellent meals and kept smiling at our incompetent attempts at the occasional phrase in Manadrin as did Haibo's mum when she took us up the hill to where she tends the goats (that is a trip well worth doing). I should also mention Amy, who was really helpful in the way she communicated so clearly before we went to make sure everything ran smoothly.

The views and the installation

The service provided by Lili was attentive and excellent. She offered me options to make the most of the city and responded quickly to my questions (she speaks excellent English). I thoroughly enjoyed my two days there. The room has a beautiful view. The neighborhood is nice and close to the river and the markets.
