We came to Yangshuo primarily for the amazing Karst limestone peaks and for the river. The town itself is not so great. So the fact that this hotel is a couple of kilometres out of town is a good thing. It’s quiet, friendly and comfortable. To sit by the river of an evening looking at the hills and the bamboo groves is just magic. The hotel is in a conservation zone with limited access for vehicles but, in practice, this was not a problem.
