Yangshuo Riverside Resort sits in peaceful surroundings on the banks of the Yulong River, a lush, green area just outside Yangshuo. A stay here includes views of the karst peaks and the small paths that follow the river. The resort’s location strikes a lovely balance between tranquillity and proximity to the area’s highlights, and you’re within easy reach of both the Yulong Valley and Yangshuo’s lively centre.
The resort is larger than many other places to stay in the area and offers rooms that are considerably more spacious than is typical here. As standard, you’ll stay in a River View Room of around 50 m². The décor is classic and elegant, with dark wood details, muted colours, and large windows that flood the room with natural light. Expect twin beds or a double bed, a sofa, a desk, and a flat-screen TV. The room also includes a minibar, kettle, wardrobe, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi. From the balcony, you have views of the garden – a perfect place to start the day with a steaming cup of tea or coffee. The private bathroom is spacious and comes with both a shower and a separate bath. You’ll have a bathrobe, slippers, a hairdryer, and complimentary toiletries.
The resort has an outdoor pool you can enjoy on warm days, and the natural surroundings make it easy to unwind. You can also use the resort’s gym if you’d like to stay active during your stay, or hire bicycles and explore the area at your own pace.
The resort’s restaurant serves both Chinese dishes and simple international classics. You can choose between indoor and outdoor seating, and many prefer to sit outside to enjoy views of the garden and the surrounding mountains.
