Family-run shops serve authentic Guilin rice noodles at budget-friendly prices in this walkable neighborhood.

Ten Mile Gallery

Ten Mile Gallery treats you to a front-row seat of nature's most spectacular show - dramatic limestone karst mountains jutting from the earth like something out of a fantasy novel. Bamboo rafts drift along the emerald waters of the Li River while traditional fishing villages dot the shoreline. Hikers and photographers flock to spots like Moon Hill and the Yulong River Scenic Area to capture those pinch-me-I'm-dreaming vistas. Local family-run guesthouses offer authentic stays with home-cooked meals featuring fresh river fish. Getting around means embracing the outdoors - rent bikes to explore or hop on a bamboo raft to see the landscape from water level. Morning mist creates magical photo ops before the day's adventure begins.

YangShuo Percent Hotel

YangShuo Percent Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"For my entire trip around Guilin, Hong Kong and Beijing, this hotel is truly the best one I stayed at. Yes its a bit more than what you can get locally, but what a delight this hotel experience was. The location being right by the river for an enjoyable day or evening walk to the exceptional - i say exceptional - service from the front desk. The rooms are nice and clean. My girlfriend wanted to try a different hotel every night and so i was quite sad that we couldn't stay here the rest of the trip, it was THAT delightful. They have tours available at the front desk, and can rent e-scooters right there. Actually for someone who's travelled extensively, this hotel rates as one of the best i have ever stay in. I usually don't give long reviews, but this one was well worth it. This place is GEM."
