To Guilin travel, how to choose accommodation in Yangshuo？

I.Fragrant Bamboo Aster Hostel: Poetic theater on the Li River

(I)The ultimate expression of river view aesthetics

Located in Hexing Village on the Li River, the newly opened minimalist building in 2024 reconstructs the boundary between man and nature with 180° panoramic floor-to-ceiling Windows. When the morning sun penetrates the mist, the silhouettes of the Li River and the bamboo raft turn into a dynamic picture scroll in the guest room; At dusk, the 200 square meters of grass by the river becomes a natural theater for starry camping, where guests can gather around the fire and listen to the gondoliers telling the thousand-year legend of the Li River.

(II)Immersive local experience

B&b’s original “Guzhen Kitchen Plan” breaks the traditional hotel dining model: walk 2 km to the Fugu Town market to purchase fresh ingredients, and return to the B&B to cook with a full set of kitchenware. In the morning, harvest Li River fish on the fishing platform beside the river, bake bamboo rice next to the natural pool in the afternoon, and hold a buffet barbecue party in the secret environment of the sand bar at night, truly realizing “landscape as the kitchen, heaven and earth as the table”.

(III)Quality pursuit of detail control

Smart bathroom system, custom latex mattress, Dyson hair dryer and other hardware configuration, and butler service form a quality closed loop. Ctrip user evaluation in 2025 shows that 98% of guests are impressed by “24-hour butler service on call” and “daily free minibar”, and “Li River morning fog theme trip” has become a popular punch project on social platforms.

II.Yuyuan Jing House: parent-child utopia on the Yulong River

(I)Multi-dimensional scenes of nature education

This parent-child resort hotel covering an area of 10 mu transforms the rural scenery of Yulong River into a three-dimensional classroom. At 9 am, the osprey show and the bamboo raft experience open simultaneously, children can hand-feed the osprey; In the afternoon, I participated in plant dyeing, kite making and other intangible cultural heritage courses in the super lawn. Look up at night and listen to telescopes tell the story of the Milky Way. In 2025, the new “farming research base” will allow urban children to experience the fun of planting and harvesting.

(II)Iterative upgrading of parent-child facilities

In 2024, the newly renovated “Encounter Family Suite” is equipped with a children’s tent, slide and star projector to meet the needs of families with two children. The outdoor 300㎡ heated swimming pool and indoor children’s playground form an all-weather entertainment matrix, while the private viewing space of the “Home theater room” becomes the best choice for rainy days. Ctrip data show that the guest base of the homestay family accounts for 72%, and the re-purchase rate is 35% higher than the industry average.

(III)Innovative interpretation of local cuisine

With the concept of “zero addition”, the hotel restaurant offers improved versions of traditional dishes such as bamboo rice and snail wine. The signature “Li River beer fish” selects the swordbone fish caught on the day, with self-brewed osmanthus wine, and becomes a must-order dish for parent-child families. The “Little Chef Experience Class” added in 2025 allows children to participate in cooking, turning food memories into growth marks.

III.Wa house: Time capsule of Xingping Ancient Town

(I)Dialogue between architecture and history

The centuries-old arcade building in the core area of Xingping Ancient Town is revitalized after renovation. The black brick walls and wooden stairs retain the original texture, while modern facilities such as smart toilets and underfloor heating systems are quietly integrated. The top observation platform can overlook the ancient town of Qingwa and Lijiang River at the same time, becoming a “private slot” for photography lovers.

(II)In-depth decoding of local culture

The host team, composed of local cultural scholars, held daily “Xingping Night Talk” activities: narrating the historical changes of the 20 yuan background picture, demonstrating ancient papermaking techniques, and even organizing the “Li River fishing fire” live shooting. In 2025, the “Ancient Town Walking Tour” project will be added to take guests to visit the ancient streets of the Ming Dynasty and the ruins of the county government of the Qing Dynasty, and interpret the cultural code of the millennium ancient town.

(III)Xingping taste on the tongue

The “Small Wa Home” private restaurant is famous for its signature dishes such as wood-fired bamboo rice and peach chicken soup with five fingers. The “Li River Fish Feast” launched in 2025 selects wild fish from Jiuma Painting mountain section, paired with local sour bamboo shoots and Li River snail, restoring the flavor of fishermen in northern Guangxi.
