Guilin Yangshuo! Stay in a real-life version of the Emerald City! So city-like

As soon as you open your eyes, it’s a landscape painting of Yangshuo 🌄 The morning chirping of birds is incredibly healing. This time, I stayed at Yulong Homestay by the Ten-Mile Gallery. The moment I opened the door to the "Mountain Mist Pool View King Room," the entire floor-to-ceiling window framed the mountains along the Yulong River. Green peaks like ink, bamboo shadows swaying—this is just like the "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains" painting! 🌊 The infinity pool directly accessible from the room is amazing. Lying by the pool, you can touch the swirling mountain mist. Every photo looks perfect without any filters—straight from the camera to your social feed. (Remember to bring a flowing long dress; spinning shots are super fairy-like, tested and proven!) The surprise moment comes after nightfall. The homestay’s courtyard lights a bonfire 🔥 Sipping a special cocktail in the bamboo-shadowed yard, looking up to see the Milky Way falling among the karst peaks. Even my phone couldn’t resist taking a few more long-exposure shots. ✨ Practical Tips: 1️⃣ The room’s smart home system is super convenient. Just say "open curtains" to welcome the sunrise. 2️⃣ Remember to rent an electric bike at the front desk. You can ride to Gongnong Bridge to watch the sunset in 15 minutes. 3️⃣ Highly recommend the Guilin rice noodles for breakfast! The sour bamboo shoots and pot-cooked noodles are freshly made by the auntie early in the morning. Although more and more trendy homestays are opening nearby, there are truly few that can exclusively enjoy the prime Yulong River view. The moment you open the window in the early morning, you finally understand what it means to say, "I’d rather be a Guilin local than an immortal."
