We are located exactly 2kms North of the center of Yangshuo and just on the West bank of the Li River
Two Roads
We now have 2 roads that access the Li River Retreat from Yangshuo
1. There is a new road that goes around the back of Yangshuo and is open 24 hours. This is the road that you would take if you are being driven in to the Retreat. We can provide transfers into the Retreat at any time of the day or night
2. The original road along the Li River is now only accessible, to pedestrians, bicycles and motorbikes. This is the best option to walk in or ride a bike into Yangshuo. This is a 2km trip from the Retreat to Yangshuo and it should take anything around 20-30 minutes

We can arrange a transfer from/to Guilin's airport, train station or any hotel in Guilin and we can do this at any time of the day or night

Hi Jenny and Alice! Wow what a great place. I've never had a warm and fuzzy about a hotel before. We ... click here for morejust came from a 5 star in Beijing and this place blew it away. There's no way I'd want to stay in a regular hotel in town after staying here.The purpose of coming to Yangshuo was to get a feel for the countryside. This place was classic upscale tropical south-east Asia.The artistic quality of the furniture, room items, garden, etc. was quite notable. You should improve the paths into the amazing garden so it's not so "secret". We discovered it on the last day by chance.The cleanliness of the premises and room was striking. The food was fast and perfect no matter what time during the daytime. Even here the aesthetic attention to detail was notable.For touring, the scooters made all the difference for us, giving us unprecedented freedom to see everything in and around town at our whim. We undoubtedly set some records for mileage. Probably should have taken an extra liter or two with us under the seats when going into the countryside. Navigating China's organized chaos and sometime rough rural roads are not for the unskilled or uncourageous though.Shower needed an anti-slip mat.If it was my place I'd remove the pointless (and uncharacteristically ugly) half-walls between the decks on the third floor and allow the guests to share the full deck and 270 degree scenery.Many thanks again especially to the wonderful staff. - Hide
