Yimuyuan Viewing Hostel

Upon checking in, the hotel's elevator check-in instructions surprised and repulsed me! Perhaps it's due to my limited experience, but this is the first time I've encountered such blatant arrogance in a hotel. The last few items, in particular, were the more I read, the more astonished I became! I always feel like I'm paying 100 yuan for a 1,000 yuan room, taking advantage and obligated to abide by your rules. So, I need to objectively evaluate whether I'm getting the best value for money! The location of this hotel is average; it's not one of those B&Bs; it's the only one among the surrounding residential buildings. Besides being close to the Golden Dragon Parade pier, it doesn't offer many other attractions. The Golden Dragon Parade is so crowded that half the crowds of spectators disappear within minutes of starting, so staying here just for the parade might be a stretch! The surrounding dining scene is also limited, and the convenience stores are so basic that you're unlikely to find any cigarettes. If you change brands, the ash is as black as charcoal. And don't even think about ordering takeout; most people won't deliver within 10 kilometers. Perhaps this is one of the reasons the hotel offers its own food service; the food is decent and reasonably priced. The overall cleanliness was quite good, the decor was average, and the view was quite wide, but the dense residential buildings at the foot of the opposite mountain diminished the overall beauty of the scenery! In fact, in Yangshuo, there are many B&Bs with better views, more pristine accommodations, and similar prices. In short, the overall value for money is average and unworthy of such arrogance!

Summer is a good time to go, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and the swimming pool is right next to the lotus pond, which the children enjoyed very much. The facilities are complete, and it is close to the Yulong Bridge Pier, so it is very convenient to rent an electric car to get there.
