Banyan Tree Yangshuo | Stay in the Scenic Paradise Featured on the 20 Yuan Bill

Among all the hotels I've stayed in Yangshuo, Banyan Tree Yangshuo is the most unforgettable! Here, the mountains and rivers aren't just a backdrop—they're part of daily life. Every moment feels like living inside the picturesque scene from the 20 yuan bill.

📍Prime Location
Nestled in a tranquil valley by a tributary of the Yulong River, the hotel is just a 10-minute drive from Yangshuo town and the Eternal Love Scenic Area, offering serenity amidst convenience. A 10-minute walk takes you to the Yulong River bamboo raft dock, while a 5-minute bike ride brings you into the Ten-Mile Gallery. With stunning scenery right at your doorstep, it's a paradise for laid-back travelers.

🏡Chinese Aesthetic Rooms
Inspired by northern Guangxi architecture, the hotel features blue-tiled roofs and white walls, cascading along the mountainside. My mountain-view suite came with a private terrace—opening the floor-to-ceiling windows revealed breathtaking karst peaks and terraced rice fields. The wooden furniture and hand-embroidered cushions exude traditional charm, and the terrace bathtub facing the mountains made sunset soaks a timeless luxury.

✨Must-Try Highlights

- Viral Bamboo Raft Afternoon Tea: Enjoy tea and snacks on a bamboo raft drifting along the Yulong River, surrounded by picturesque peaks. Paired with Yangshuo's golden osmanthus tea, every shot is a poetic masterpiece.
- Cliffside Infinity Pool: The pool seems to merge with the Yulong River, with layered peaks at the far end. At dusk, the water glows with sunset hues—utterly mesmerizing.
- Signature Spa: Banyan Tree's spa is legendary! Unwind with a massage using local essential oils in a bamboo-surrounded treatment room, serenaded by birds and insects.
- Rice Field Strolls: Walk through the eco-friendly rice fields near the hotel at dawn or dusk, soaking in the rustic charm with the scent of rice and croaking frogs.

🍽Taste of Yangshuo
The Chinese restaurant specializes in Guangxi and Cantonese cuisine—don’t miss the beer fish and stuffed river snails, cooked with fresh local ingredients and traditional methods. Breakfast features made-to-order Guilin rice noodles with pickled bamboo shoots and peanuts for a hearty start. For romance, book a private terrace dinner under candlelight and mountain breezes.

💁Thoughtful Service
From airport transfers to departure assistance, the butler team handles everything seamlessly, even suggesting off-the-beaten-path activities. Welcome fruits and osmanthus cakes greet you on arrival, and a farewell gift adds a sweet touch when you leave.

Banyan Tree Yangshuo perfectly blends nature, culture, and luxury, making it ideal for honeymooners, families, or friends seeking serenity. If you visit Yangshuo, don’t miss the chance to experience the romance of "living inside a painting" here!
