This trip to Yangshuo was absolutely amazing! Staying at Yushan Xiangshe by the Yulong River really elevated the sense of occasion, and we threw the kid’s birthday party right in the little courtyard. With the dessert table set up and the unbeatable mountain view, every snap looked like an Instagram-worthy masterpiece 🌸 🏡 Hotel Highlights: Yushan Xiangshe is located at No. 164 Jima Village, just steps away from the Yulong River bamboo rafting spot. The floor-to-ceiling window mountain view rooms open up to Cat Mountain, and the infinity pool plus mountain-view terrace are like a natural photo studio. We took hundreds of photos without stopping! ✨ Highlights to rave about: • The smart rooms are so cool! Just a voice command to open or close curtains/air conditioning, and watching the starry sky with the projector at night is super romantic • Perfect for parties! The courtyard is decorated with fresh flowers and a dessert table, with the entire Totoro Mountain as the backdrop • The pool is nestled among the peaks, and when you take photos by the float ring, you can see the reflected mountain shadows 📸 Photo Tips: 1. Breakfast includes Guilin rice noodles, porridge, eggs, corn, and fruit, with free choice of soy milk, milk, or coffee—healthy and delicious 2. Take silhouette shots at the edge of the infinity pool at dusk; the sunset will dye the water rose gold 3. Wear the ethnic costumes provided by the hotel and take great photos downstairs 🍹 Nearby Activities: • A 13-minute walk to Jima Pier for bamboo rafting • Rent a small electric scooter next door to explore the Ten-Mile Gallery • Go to a bar on West Street at night to listen to live music, and be sure to try the osmanthus wine Honestly, just zoning out here fills you with happiness. Waking up to birdsong in the morning and soaking in the bath under the stars at night—that’s what a vacation should really feel like~
