Yangshuo Mountain Retreat
Situated at the foot of the magnificent limestone karst peaks and on the grassy banks of the Yulong River,
The Yangshuo Mountain Retreat is a countryside Yangshuo hotel promoting sustainable tourism in China. It offers an authentic China travel experience and is a perfect getaway from city life.
The traditional Yangshuo hotel is just one hour from Guilin, in Yangshuo China. The Mountain Retreat is a 30-minute hike to the spectacular Moon Hill, and the Copper Gate Mountain, one of the best technical climbing crags
in the area is just a short walk away. The location is magical, right on the Yulong River - a tributary of the Li River - surrounded by
picturesque villages and endless stretches of emerald rice fields, with plenty of challenging hills and bike trails for those interested in adventure tours.
