Since 2001, Yangshuo Mountain Retreat has been welcoming guests who seek a location that offers the best of this pristine natural area. We are located 15 minutes from Yangshuo town by our free shuttle or hotel car and one hour from Guilin Airport. We are located on the banks of the Yulong River with towering karst peaks and unobstructed river views. From here you can bike to Moon Hill or our sister hotel Yangshuo Village Inn. We also offer a quiet footpath from our parking are that runs 9km up river to ancient bridges and scenic villages. For those taking a bamboo raft down the Yulong River, we are the only Yangshuo hotel that has it's own landing. We are regularly rated as the "Best Location in Yangshuo" by our guests on TripAdvisor, Booking.com and Agoda.
The Yangshuo Mountain Retreat is located in the heart of the "10-Mile Gallery" scenic area, with direct access to the river and bamboo rafting. There is no other Yangshuo hotel that offers such an idyllic location. Just 1.5km from a major junction, the Mountain Retreat is only 5 minutes from the highway entrance that runs North to Guilin or South to Guangzhou and Shenzhen. There is free parking on site.
Our boutique eco-resort is nestled right on the waterfront banks of the beautiful Yulong River inside the protected Ten-Mile Gallery Scenic Area (Gaotian Town). We sit approximately 15 minutes away from the loud, crowded neon nightlife of downtown Yangshuo's West Street. This specific placement gives our guests the absolute best of both worlds: complete, quiet insulation inside nature's limestone peaks, with easy, quick accessibility to town via our private shuttle vans, Didi or hotel cars.
You can step right out of our property lines and directly onto an incredible, traffic-free 9km riverside walking path. This quiet foot trail leads you upriver past ancient stone architecture bridges, farming hamlets, and spectacular karst panoramas. Furthermore, our location offers immediate bicycle routes to iconic natural waypoints like Moon Hill, and we are the only resort along the riverbanks featuring an integrated private landing dock. If you are taking a classic bamboo raft down the Yulong River, you can skip the crowded public drop-off points and request to land directly at our jetty. It may not be possible under all river traffic or weather conditions.
Yes, we offer completely free gated private parkingright on the resort grounds for our overnight guests. Our location sits just 1.5km off the primary express highway junction running North to Guilin or South down to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, making self-driving highly convenient. If you are driving your own car or a rental vehicle, you can drive in to our gated parking and park free of charge during your stay in Yangshuo.
Our award-winning sister property, Yangshuo Village Inn, is located just a scenic 20-minute bicycle ride away, nestled in a traditional farming village right beneath the face of Moon Hill.
