Recommended Stay in Yangshuo! Live in a Painting and Enjoy Leisure
Yangshuo, renowned as the most picturesque place under heaven, is truly a destination that makes visitors reluctant to leave. This time, I brought my wife and child here, not only to enjoy the gifts of nature but also to discover a hotel perfect for family trips—Guitu Youyou Lodge (Yangshuo West Street Branch). Today, I’m excited to share this gem with you—guaranteed to inspire a spontaneous getaway! 🚗🏞️
🏠 A Cozy Villa Amidst Scenery 🏡
Upon stepping into Guitu Youyou Lodge, I was immediately captivated by its unique architectural style. Located right next to Yangshuo West Street, the hotel boasts an excellent location—just a two-minute walk to the bustling West Street and a mere three-minute stroll to the beautiful Li River. Every morning, opening the window reveals distant mountain ranges, as if we were living inside an ink-wash painting. The room’s design is simple yet warm, especially the large floor-to-ceiling windows that allow our family to enjoy the stunning views outside at any time—it truly feels like living within the scenery.
🎉 A Paradise for Kids 🎈
The hotel features a small children’s play area. Though compact, it’s more than enough to keep the little ones entertained. Every time I played there with my son, his laughter was infectious. One time, we played hide-and-seek in the play area—he hid behind a small tent, and I pretended not to find him until he couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing, doubling over with joy. In that moment, time seemed to stand still—happiness can be so simple.
☕️ Morning Sunshine and Coffee ☕️
Every morning, as the first rays of sunlight streamed through the curtains, the hotel staff would deliver freshly brewed coffee and breakfast. The breakfast spread was diverse, offering both Western options like bread and milk and Chinese dishes like congee and side dishes—there’s something to satisfy every palate. Sitting on the balcony, savoring a delicious breakfast while watching the gentle flow of the Li River outside, was pure bliss.
🌟 Thoughtful Service, Warm as Home 🌟
The hotel’s service was impeccable—no matter the request, the staff responded promptly. Once, my son suddenly wanted to draw, but we’d forgotten to bring art supplies. Upon hearing this, the front desk staff not only lent us paper and colored pencils but also gifted him some stickers, which thrilled him. It’s these small, thoughtful gestures that make you feel as warm and welcome as at home.
Thanks to Guitu Youyou Lodge, our Yangshuo trip became even more unforgettable. If you’re planning a visit to Yangshuo, consider staying here—I’m sure it’ll leave you with beautiful memories too. 🌟🌟🌟
