Guanlan | Baima Resort

If you, like me, dislike the city's hustle and bustle and are looking for a peaceful escape, this is the perfect place to simply unwind. Just 100 meters behind the guesthouse, you'll find the Li River riverside trail at Yangdi, designated by *National Geographic China* as one of the top ten classic routes. Unlike the cookie-cutter guesthouses in Yangshuo, here you can enjoy all your meals surrounded by mountains, truly feeling the genuine warmth of the owner and everyone here.

Far from the bustling city, this charming mountain courtyard by the Li River offers a fantastic holiday experience. A short walk takes you to the Li River. The environment is quiet and elegant, and the hotel facilities are comprehensive, including a tennis court 🎾. In the evening, you can enjoy a movie or BBQ in the courtyard. There are many well-behaved small animals in the courtyard too! The hotel staff are all incredibly kind and attentive. This was an excellent vacation experience! 👍

We came for a family vacation with our kids, and it was a fantastic experience! The environment is absolutely beautiful, with stunning mountain and water views all around. The hotel's animals are so friendly and adorable, keeping the little ones entertained and happy. The room, service, and facilities were all excellent, making it a very relaxing and enjoyable trip for the adults too. It was a wonderful short getaway, and we'd love to come back again!

Instantly fell in love with the balcony, and just like that, I was in vacation mode. Woke up early for breakfast. Guilin rice noodles with small Li River fish, and the chili sauce was delicious—hotel-made! They even gave me some as a parting gift when I checked out. And of course, more cat cuddling with a litter of four colorful kittens. The room's balcony came with nature's own soundtrack. I spent the entire morning just sitting there, enjoying the breeze. Didn't do much, but it felt like everything was complete. Sometimes there were people talking at night, but the butler was always quick to handle it. The service was truly excellent.

I was amazed by what I saw online, so it was a bit disappointing when it rained upon arrival. But the butler was so handsome and even personally picked us up and dropped us off, haha! He patiently told us all about the town and its attractions. The moment we entered the courtyard, I was stunned by the expansive lawn. The mountains shrouded in mist on a rainy day actually created an even more atmospheric vibe. The room was clean, tidy, and had a great view. From the moment we stepped into the courtyard, every staff member we met was incredibly accommodating and friendly, always with a smile. Oh, and definitely try dinner here! It was absolutely delicious and so satisfying, not at all pretentious. It’s truly a wonderful place for girlfriends, couples, or families. From breakfast to the goodnight stew and even the toiletries, you can feel the owner's thoughtfulness. I'll definitely be back!

The hotel is just over ten minutes from the high-speed rail station and offers a complimentary shuttle service. You can see the Li River within a few minutes' walk behind the guesthouse. The hotel also has its own exclusive VIP bamboo raft experience on the Li River, so there's no need to queue at tourist spots. You can hop directly onto the raft right outside the hotel entrance. Every window here offers a beautiful view; it's quiet and perfect for photos. The kids especially loved the private hot spring in the room. The afternoon tea and breakfast were a delightful surprise and very plentiful. The owner is incredibly warm and hospitable, even providing feed for the children to feed the ducks. The rooms are spotless, and the bedding is very comfortable. It's the kind of place where once you check in, you won't want to leave! The food here is also excellent. They have their own vegetable garden and grow some fruits. You can even order takeout late at night if you get hungry. Upon departure, we received a souvenir – their home-grown passion fruit, which was incredibly sweet! I'll definitely be back to stay for a few more days next time.

This was my first stay at Yangshuo Guanlan Baima Resort, and the overall experience truly exceeded my expectations – definitely a five-star review! I originally booked the Qingdai room, but the hotel upgraded me to the Xuantian, which came with an L-shaped pool, instantly giving off major vacation vibes. The view was absolutely stunning; it was so pleasant to look out during the day, and the ambiance in the evening was even better – every photo I took turned out perfectly. On Saturday night, there was also a BBQ buffet, and the beef, pre-marinated by the hotel, was delicious; the hotel restaurant's food was also incredibly tasty, leaving me feeling very satisfied. The room was clean and comfortable, the overall environment was tranquil and well-designed, and the staff were warm and attentive. I definitely picked the right place for my first visit to Yangshuo, and I've already recommended it to friends. I'll definitely stay here again next time!

The room was spacious and well-equipped, and I loved the decor. The rocking chair on the small balcony was perfect for soaking up the sun and just relaxing. The service was attentive and thoughtful; the evening desserts and afternoon tea were excellent. They also had a bonfire at night, which created a fantastic atmosphere. They offer pick-up/drop-off services for the station and can book tickets for you at a lower price than if you booked them yourself. The hotel is right by the Li River, surrounded by mountains and river views. You could easily spend a whole day just at the hotel without needing to go anywhere else. There are lots of small animals in the courtyard, truly living up to the hotel's name with white horses and even white peacocks. The cats are friendly but a bit aloof, and I was constantly bothered by the Schnauzer, the lobby manager, haha!

Our room offered breathtaking views of endless karst peaks right outside the window, surrounded by lush green mountains and serene waters, giving it a peaceful, secluded paradise feel. The hotel has adorable mini horses and Call ducks, and guests can enjoy the infinity pool and private hot spring baths. In the evenings, there's an outdoor cinema and bonfire. Every photo taken here turns out beautifully! 📸 The hotel restaurant's food is excellent and delicious. If you're craving beer fish, you can order takeout, and the butler will deliver it to your room, which is super convenient. The Li River is right outside the hotel, with famous hiking trails nearby. The hotel also has its own VIP bamboo raft pier on the Li River, allowing direct boarding and helping guests avoid long queues at tourist spots. Nine-Horse Fresco Hill is within walking distance, and cycling or walking around the area is very enjoyable. 🚵🏻♂️
