Yangshuo Yuyuan Resort （Shili Gallery &Yulong River）

Booked a two-night, three-day stay for a family vacation with my elderly parents and kids. We absolutely loved this hotel! My parents had plenty of space to walk around and enjoy the scenery. The kids could swim, feed animals, go fishing, do crafts, and play in the ball pit, keeping them so busy they barely had time to look at their phones. Most of our time was spent enjoying the hotel's facilities, and we could see the mountains and water right from our room's balcony. It's also conveniently located near Wanjing Wharf, just a short Didi ride away, where you can take a bamboo raft for 5-8 people. There are electric scooters for rent right behind the hotel, and I took my mom on two rides along the Ten-Mile Gallery. The hotel restaurant was excellent too; the kids insisted on eating there for every meal.

This hotel was the most pleasant surprise of our trip to Yangshuo and could easily become a must-stay destination for the year. Everything from the room layout, bedding, and cleanliness to the service attitude deserves a perfect score. The butler was incredibly responsive to all our requests and consistently maintained a great attitude. The hotel's BBQ food was very fresh, and our kids had a wonderful time. Both pools are beautiful, and the hotel's overall layout and details are exquisite and charming. It's clear a lot of thought went into everything!

This is the absolute best family-friendly stay in Yangshuo, truly top-notch! I have to say it three times to emphasize. It might not be the most luxurious, but it's definitely the most family-oriented guesthouse. First, the location is super convenient for visiting the Ten-Mile Gallery and Yulong River; going for a run along the Yulong River in the morning is incredibly pleasant. Second, the hotel has its own large lawn and a petting zoo, perfect for kids. In the mornings, there are even cormorant fishing shows, and in the evenings, several heated swimming pools to relax in. The balcony views are simply stunning; just standing there and zoning out for a bit is wonderful.

The rooms in Building 6 offer expansive views, a simple yet elegant design, and complete amenities. Each building's rooftop is a hidden gem worth exploring; some boast breathtaking observation decks, while others feature aesthetically pleasing and functional pools. Make sure to visit every building during your stay – you're in for a surprise! The public areas are spacious, with scenic spots at every turn. There are plenty of family-friendly activities, including crafts, a petting zoo, and cormorant photo opportunities. The first floor of two buildings houses a kids' club and play area, where children can have a blast. The staff are friendly and kind, and their WeChat responses are prompt. They can book various activities in Yangshuo, car charters, and car rentals at reasonable prices. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

Staying at Yuyuan Jingshe was a great experience. The breakfast had a decent variety, and the noodles were delicious. Kids could play soccer and archery on the lawn, feed the lambs and deer, and even fish by the river – it was really enjoyable and easy for parents. The butler was helpful for tourist information and booking discounted tickets, which was very convenient. We'd definitely come back if we get the chance.

We chose Yuyuan Resort for our family trip to Yangshuo, and it truly made our entire journey incredibly fulfilling. The resort boasts an excellent view of the mountains and rivers, and with its large lawn, outdoor pool, and kids' activities, our children had an absolute blast. I must especially commend the hotel's complimentary travel photography service and the photographer. I didn't have high expectations initially, but the results were surprisingly good. The photographer was gentle, great at setting a relaxed mood, patiently guided our poses, and excelled at capturing the children's lively and natural moments. They managed to create stunning family photos with a wonderful ambiance, set against the hotel's scenic backdrop. The whole process was smooth and efficient, and the photos turned out beautifully. The rooms were clean, and the service was attentive. The abundance of free family activities added so much fun. It's truly a thoughtfully managed resort, and I highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Yangshuo.

The facilities are relatively new and well-maintained. The three large swimming pools are incredibly fun. The expansive lawn offers a very therapeutic view. The hotel is right by the Yulong River, so you can watch the bamboo rafts go by. Sitting under the trees and watching the rafts is much more comfortable than being on one. The hotel also has deer feeding and cormorant fishing performances, which are quite good. The hotel's location is excellent, the service is great, and the breakfast buffet has a comprehensive selection. I will definitely stay here again!

Staying at the Yu Yuan Hotel in Yangshuo this time was a 10/10 experience! The hotel is nestled by mountains and rivers, offering beautiful scenery. The rooms are clean and elegant with complete facilities, and the staff are warm, attentive, and efficient. The hotel's配套 travel photography service was a delightful surprise; the photographer was professional and gentle, patiently guiding us on poses. They effortlessly captured atmospheric, blockbuster-worthy photos against the stunning natural backdrop. It was a perfect blend of accommodation and photography, making the trip incredibly fulfilling. I genuinely recommend everyone to stay here.

Had a wonderful two-day, one-night stay here. You really don't need to leave the hotel much once you've checked in. The scenery is beautiful right from the hotel, which is right next to the Yulong River. There are plenty of pools, so kids can spend a whole afternoon playing, and there's also a playroom. They even offer travel photography services; you can get some nice shots around the hotel, but for outdoor scenes, you'd need to go to the ancient town. The only downside is the lack of a gym. I heard this is the best hotel in the area, but the road leading up to it goes through a village. Once you're inside, the environment significantly improves. It's close to various activities. You can rent an e-bike to go to the paragliding base; booking through the hotel might be a bit more expensive than roadside vendors, so it's worth asking around. It's also close to horseback riding and bamboo rafting docks. The hotel restaurant is excellent. Breakfast is delicious, with rice noodles available. It's a bit inconvenient that they don't serve rice noodles for lunch and dinner, but the stir-fried dishes are very fragrant. I highly recommend the scrambled eggs with tomatoes – I haven't had such authentic-tasting tomatoes in years! The stuffed snails with mint are also incredibly delicious. For fresh fish, you need to pre-order, as they catch it on demand, and it tastes very fresh and tender. My child was very happy. Bottled water and tea are always available, making it perfect for families with kids. You can borrow fishing nets to catch fish by the river; even though there aren't many, the kids loved it. My child also really enjoyed the small zoo. The staff members are all very friendly. The only slight inconvenience is that the buildings were constructed in phases, so you sometimes have to go out of the courtyard to move between them. The lake view rooms offer an excellent view.
