The world's most authoritative self-guided tour series "Lonely Plant" devotes a lot of space to introducing Yangshuo every year! Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world, Yangshuo's landscapes Guilin - it has become famous all over the world since then. Guilin, a world-famous scenic tourist city, is rated as one of the cities that people must visit in their lifetime. U.S. President Richard Nixon once said: "I have been to more than 100 cities in more than 80 countries in the world, and none is as beautiful as Guilin." In 2014, the karst landforms in southern China represented by Guilin's landscape were listed by UNESCO. "World Natural Heritage List". Guilin Yangshuo Resort Hotel has also become the most popular part of tourists' travel! The hotel I stayed in surprised me very much.
▉A city that must be visited in a lifetime and a must-see performance
Guilin’s landscape is dominated by the 160-kilometer-long Lijiang River Scenic Area, so the famous attractions and performances are the most beautiful section of the Lijiang River. ——In Yangshuo; so when you first come to Guilin, Yangshuo is a must! There are many scenic spots, these are worth seeing: in addition to the "Big Banyan Tree Scenic Spot" where "Liu Sanjie" was filmed, the 10-mile cycling path " Ten Mile Gallery · Yulong River " was created for President Carter's cycling tour. , "Give me a day and give you back a thousand years", "A must-see performance in a lifetime" Guilin Eternal Love (grand opening in August), Foreigner Street, which receives more than 60,000 foreign tourists every year and makes more than 1,000 international marriages." West Street", there are also RMB 20 pattern attractions and the 1740-year-old "Xingping Ancient Town (Lijiang River)" where the two presidents visited.
▉I accidentally entered the Snow Lion Ridge Riverside Hotel where foreigners gathered. What I saw and felt shocked me
During this trip to Yangshuo, I chose 2 hotels. One is the most artistic Mango Villa in Yangshuo, which is just a few steps away from Guilin’s ancient love, Shili Gallery is very close to the Yulong River Scenic Area; the other is the Snow Lion Riverside Hotel. The latter hotel has very high online reviews and ranks 12th among more than 500 hotels in Yangshuo. However, after going there, I was shocked.
Snow Lion Ridge is like a paradise and the scenery is extremely beautiful - the scenery shocked me.
Snow Lion Ridge No. 1, Mushan Village, on the bank of the Li River, 3 kilometers east of Yangshuo City. The altitude is 130 meters, the relative height is 20 meters, the length is 450 meters, the width is 160 meters, and the mountain area is 7.2 hectares. There is a ridge in the east and west of the village. Shaped like a lion, the Dongling rock formations are exposed and the color is as white as snow. It stands along the river and is called Snow Lion Ridge.

In the lower left corner of the picture is Yuping Mountain, which is only 50 meters away from the hotel. The hotel is where the three buildings are; the altitude is about 100 meters. At sunrise, you can climb to the bottom to take pictures of the karst landforms. Beautiful sunrise.
Hidden in a green wonderland, with excellent river views - the location shocked me
The biggest feature of the hotel is that it is hidden in the mountains of the Lijiang River with thousands of ravines, and there is a country villa with a viewing balcony facing the river; in addition, it is like the Wizard of Oz A green wonderland, an open-air courtyard swimming pool with a floating glass boat. The store consists of three houses and a courtyard, overlooking the greenery.
The exterior of the hotel is average, without the extremely luxurious hardware and minimalist style that Chinese people like. If you have been abroad, especially in Southeast Asian island countries, you will find that the more resort hotels with a certain age and history and the environment closer to nature, the more foreigners like them. . This may also be the reason why foreigners like it so much and rate it highly.
Within the courtyard wall made of rocks, there is a lawn larger than the parking lot. The hotel has an antique appearance, simple and elegant; it does not have a strong sense of modern architecture. It has been baptized by time and rain and dew, and is integrated with nature. . When I stepped inside, all I saw were foreign tourists with yellow hair and blue eyes. I didn't know it, but thought I had walked into a foreign resort hotel.
The picturesque exterior and the quaint old-fashioned interior - the strong contrast shocked me
When I walked into the lobby, there was a bar with simple meals on the right (breakfast is also here). From the hotel manager to the waiter, English is spoken. It's very slippery;
Go straight into the inner courtyard with Chinese garden elements. Hanging baskets, palms, and bougainvillea are scattered everywhere. The air in the small courtyard after the rain seems fresher. I can't wait to find the "glass boat" - this is what attracts me. One reason to book a hotel.
But when I heard the sound, I felt something was wrong. It turned out that it was foreigners who were "making dumplings" here. Out of respect for the privacy of foreigners, I can only take some secret photos.
My vacation at Snow Lion Riverside Hotel was a bit disappointing! In such a large swimming pool, there are actually all foreigners making dumplings. I wanted to experience a floating breakfast or a glass boat, but I didn't get to experience it. Only in the early morning did I take a picture of the courtyard view
This hotel can be said to be the most standard international resort hotel, with swimming pools, English table tennis, glass boats that have long been available abroad, etc.; so I think this is also "familiar to foreigners" Feel like on vacation.
only got permission to take this photo after communicating with this little Chinese girl in unfamiliar English! Speaking of which, Guilin is not only world-famous for its landscapes, but more importantly, its unique natural landscapes, which give them the outdoor travel and vacation experience they want. Yangshuo is also a world-famous rock climbing resort. Backpackers like hiking, and some also love cycling. Foreigners who like paragliding and paragliding can also enjoy the experience here.
The styles are inconsistent and the colors are too rich - the aesthetics of a Chinese-style resort hotel make me laugh or cry.
The hotel consists of three buildings. The one I stayed in was the river view room closest to the river, which gave me the feeling of a "foreign resort hotel". Rattan armchairs and coffee tables, solid wood hollow fences, and antique floor tiles. . .
Compared with the popular mountain B&Bs, few Chinese would choose such an environment. Although the style is elegant and simple, the colors are too strong, and some of the facilities in the room have a strong sense of chen (jiu).
The geometric style bathroom should be modern and simple, but it does not match the Chinese style of the room.
But foreigners just like this very much. Maybe their travel needs are to experience the Chinese-style international vacation life with their friends under the shade of the trees on the banks of the beautiful and spectacular Li River.
Late at night, the river breeze is blowing. At this point, it is also good to have a bottle of Corolla or Tiger Brand and experience the night in China's "international style" resort hotel. This kind of room is priced at 868 yuan per night during the summer. Considering the unique scenery and geographical location, it is the most cost-effective! In addition, the hotel has Chinese and Western food ordering services, and many tourists come here during the day. How do you feel about it compared with the Mango Villa where I stayed the night before?
