"The hotel is 5 stars from decor to service. It is perfect for someone to get away from the city or busy life to enjoy the quietness of the small town. It’s about 30 minutes from the city center of Yangshuo. Not the most convenient location if you are looking for night life and foods variety."

We were actually in Yangshuo which was very beautiful. The weather in October was great. Using the moped to drive around to see the scenic areas was really nice and convenient! The bamboo rafting was peaceful and scenic.
