#Yangshuo Mountain Retreat Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Pushing open the room door reveals the purest landscape of Yangshuo
||I didn't make any plans for Yangshuo and just lay in the hotel for 3 days, witnessing the purest scenery.
The first one
Located halfway up the mountain on the way to Xianggong Hill
The hotel is secluded, but offers an excellent view and is very classically and elegantly decorated. It's not as internet-famous as Sugar House, and the view is much better than Banyan Tree.
Before coming here, I saw a lot of negative reviews about the accommodation, but I can only say don't set your expectations too high. Definitely do not choose the cheapest room type, the Deluxe Sun-view Pavilion offers the best value for money.
I'm willing to pay for the view, and this place and the nearby Xianggong Hill are the most worthwhile spots to see in Yangshuo. Staying here means there's no need to visit other attractions.
The room rate includes free breakfast, afternoon tea, and dinner, all of which are delicious.
The driver offers free transfers to Xingping Pier, so transportation is not a worry.
The second one is Shengdi Hotel
Located by the Yulong River, next to the Ten-Mile Gallery
Coming to Yangshuo, after seeing the mountains, you can't miss the water.
Shengdi Hotel is right on the most essential part of the Yulong River rafting route.
Instead of queuing for rafting and tipping for photos, it's better to choose to dine at the riverside restaurant here, idly watching the people come and go on the river.
The prices are affordable, but the facilities are indeed a bit outdated. Most of the time, I chose to just sit in the courtyard and space out.
It's worth mentioning that the restaurant's dishes are very tasty! If you're afraid of making a poor choice, you can also order Western food, at least it won't go wrong.

Now I may be biased with that title as this is where we had our wedding photos and our honeymoon, but Yangshuo really is one of the best locations in China for breathtaking landscapes.
Stay at the little known Yangshuo Mountain Retreat for hearty meals (both Western and Chinese) and traditional style decor - not to mention the only unencumbered view of the river and mountains in the area. But don’t tell everyone, I’m trying to keep it a secret!
Whether up in the air in a cable car/hiking moon mountain, on the water in a bamboo raft/Li river tour or deep under the surface in the bowels of the Silver cave, Yangshuo has something for everyone, all year round!

Sunrise at Yangshuo Mountain Retreat
Sunrise at Yangshuo Mountain Retreat must be included in the TO-DO list of places to visit in Yangshuo.
It is located in a serene surroundings. The view point high up in the valley let you enjoy the best scenic view of the river and surrounding mountains.
The whole place is majestic and the landscape can't be better. The recommended sightseeing time is between one to two hours.
This is a great opportunity to see the mountains and beautiful landscape with the best view "literally above everything". You can also see the cloud formation among the mountains.
Try not to miss out the sunrise. Plan accordingly to get there as early as possible to get a good spot so you can take wonderful sunrise landscape photographies.
Bring comfortable walking shoes as there are many stairs to climb. Hiking is not very demanding but better to come early enough so you can climb up without rushing. Don't forget your water and camera!
Check in advance weather conditions and also the exact time for sunrise so you can plan to arrive one hour earlier to the view point and see all the stages of the sunrise.

About accommodation in Yangshuo
I personally think that the Shengdi Hotel offers great value for money, especially for family trips with elderly members. The hotel has three buildings, and we booked a family suite that can accommodate four adults, and I think it wouldn't be a problem to add a child as well. The rooms are clean and located in the main building, making it very convenient to go downstairs for breakfast since the rooms are on the second floor. This hotel used to only cater to foreign guests, which is why the staff are all bilingual, and there are still many foreigners staying here. There are many negative reviews online, and opinions vary, but I think for this price, the prime location with beautiful scenery, and the fact that the staff helped us carry our luggage during check-in and check-out, our family was very satisfied.

Beautiful view but chew carefully
The restaurant at the Yuanshuo Mountain Resort has an amazing view of the river! You can sit and sip your drink while watching the river rafters pass by. The food is also delicious, but chew carefully. I nearly broke a tooth as I bit on a piece of class. We suspect it was in the rice. #foodie #yangshuotravel #views #riverview #carefulchewing
